@HuffPost, Go F*** Yourself: Crab Shack Torches Anti-American Elite Media 

A crab shack in Maryland just schooled the national media on patriotism, and the internet loved every second of it.

When HuffPost took a swipe at Team USA tied to the Olympics narrative, Baltimore’s own Jimmy’s Famous Seafood fired back with a blunt, unapologetic defense of the United States. No consultants. No focus groups. Just a small business saying what a lot of Americans were already thinking.

The post went viral almost instantly. “@HuffPost Go fuck yourself” 

This was not some corporate PR stunt. Jimmy’s is owned by a Greek immigrant family that built their American dream the old-fashioned way. Long hours. Risk. Grit. They did not come here to sneer at the country that gave them opportunity. They came here to succeed in it.

That is what made the clapback resonate.

HuffPost tried to frame the Olympic moment through a tired anti-America lens. Jimmy’s answered with gratitude and pride. The contrast could not have been sharper. On one side, a legacy media outlet chasing clicks by dunking on its own country. On the other, a family business built by immigrants defending the nation that made their success possible.

The reaction was swift. Customers rallied. Veterans chimed in. Everyday Americans shared the post across platforms. It was not just about sports. It was about something deeper.

There is a reason stories like this catch fire. Americans are exhausted with cultural elites who treat national pride like a punchline. They are tired of being told that celebrating the flag is somehow controversial. When a crab house in Maryland sounds more grounded than a newsroom in New York, people notice.

And let’s be clear. This is not about blind nationalism. It is about perspective. Immigrants who choose America often have a sharper understanding of what makes this country exceptional than pundits who take it for granted. They know the alternatives. They know what a limited opportunity looks like. They chose the United States anyway.

That is the part the media class misses.

For Nevadans watching this unfold, the lesson is simple. Small businesses are often the strongest voices for the American idea. They live it. They hire locally. They pay taxes. They sponsor Little League teams. They wave the flag without apology.

The viral moment out of Baltimore is a reminder that patriotism is not owned by politicians or cable panels. It lives in storefronts, kitchens, and family tables across this country.

Sometimes it just takes a crab shack to say it out loud.
