I’m lovin’ it: Spicy Snacks for the Democrat Panic  

By John Kass

October 24, 2024

It’s not easy to select tasty snacks to watch the Democrat Panic, especially with Kamala Harris losing her head and blaming her failing presidential campaign on everyone but Kamala.

The headlines tell the story with under two weeks to go. There’s a lot of tension out there and Democrats are fearful.  Trump has driven them insane. The signs of their madness are obvious, like bloody pawprints in the snow.

“Democrats Fear Race May be Slipping Away from Harris” The Hill. “Clock is Ticking on Kamala Harris” Politico. “There Are Ominous Signs That Kamala Harris’ Blue Wall is Collapsing” The Telegraph. They’re obviously anxious with two weeks until Election Day.

At least three Senate Democrats–Bob Casey Jr. Pa.; Tammy Baldwin, Wisc.; and Sherrod Brown, Oh.–have figuratively (politically) grasped Donald Trump’s knees supporting Trumps economic agenda, not the economic agenda of Harris. They’re on board the Trump economic nationalism train called America First. And Democrat Harris’ running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz stupidly picked a pre-election fight with the Teamsters because the union refused to endorse the Democrat.

Trump is having fun. Harris Democrats hate it. But me?

I’m lovin’ it.

So how about a Big Mac and large fries?

The Big Macs are reportedly safe(er). Or just go for sushi.

And while we’re arranging snacks to celebrate Kamala’s anxiety, and celebrate Trump, how about a big bowl of orange “Flaming Hot ‘N Crunchy Cheetos?”

To wash it all down, let’s have a a big ice-filled glass of Coke Zero, with a few drops of salty and anxious liberal tears optional. And for dessert some thin Oreos for the wealthy Obama fundraisers/operatives to dunk in milk as they continue to race-shame black men who aren’t supportive enough for Kamala.

These are real snacks.

Because there’s nothing like spicy orange Cheetos to go with leftist tears for a tasty snack while you’re watching the lefties shrieking in panic  on MSNBC and CNN. Former President Donald Trump drove Harris and the Democrats crazy with his hilarious and politically astute star turn at a McDonald’s drive-through window in Pennsylvania the other day, so much so that Harris came boiling out of her house projecting the leftist authoritarian fantasy Trump was a fascist and would-be dictator.

How low will they go? Even lower. The left wing rag “The Atlantic” pushed another hit piece based on convenient anonymous hate like so many others. One thing is certain, the Deep State regime will do anything it can, even seeding post-election violence, to stop Trump. Useful idiots parrot the left’s allegation that the “Orange Man Bad” is an authoritarian menace and a Hitler. That’s another one of their fantasies.

All they offer is fear.

But actually it is the Democrat Party that are the fascists. They are the party of authoritarian government and the party of the corporations. Democrats are the party of the bi-coastal elite. The Obama Democrats are the party that protects Iran, that theocratic nation that wants Death to America and wants to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth.

Also, Democrats are the party of political censorship, the party of removing parent’s rights over their own kids, the party of castration of minor children, the party of allowing biological males to destroy girls in athletic competition, killing women’s sports to satisfy the whims of the trans lobby. The Democrats are the party of inflation, of high gas and grocery prices, the party of the more than 20 million illegal migrants invited by Harris-Biden to cross the border and go on welfare at taxpayer expense. Some are violent, and have killed women and young girls. For all the concern Kamala professes to care about women, remember that the Harris-Biden administration that opened the Southern border wide, also  also helped the Mexican drug cartels to make millions upon millions sex trafficking women and little girls and boys.

Kamala’s Democrats are the party of the Soros do-nothing prosecutors, who didn’t prosecute crime and so destroyed great cities like Chicago. And to protect Soros and others like him, the legacy media destroyed themselves, abandoning the people in their critical time of need.

The Democrats project all the things they want to do–iron fisted rule, etc.–onto others.

But before I could think of snacks, I first had something important to do: vote straight ticket Republican to stop it before America is destroyed.

So Betty and I voted. The lines of early voters were very long. Why is it important to put the vote in the bank right now? Because we all think we’ll vote, but statistics say there is a drop off between want-to and mission accomplished. I remember the Red Wave that didn’t happen. And I can’t allow that again, not after all the Marxists have done to hurt country. Our votes for Trump went into the bank. Do other commie pundits tell you they cast a vote for Harris? Does it matter?

“The unhappily white Greek guy is at it again,” sniped a desperate leftist troll without the nuts to grow a pair of names. “You’re not black John, and you’re not even from Chicago anymore.”

I’m not black? No, but I’m happy in Indiana, OPAH! Happy in the low-tax land of the free.

Not everything is perfect. As I type this I see Fox News soy boy Neil Cavuto sucking up to the Bush family and the neo-cons by promoting the idea that Trump should publicly embrace neo-con high priestess Nikki Haley. They’re so desperate to find her a perch.

Neil? You need a job? Kissing up to the endless war party doesn’t suit you. What’s next? You going to take Liz Cheney out for piece of pie?

Forget it Neil.

It’s all falling apart for the Democrats. Several key Democrat Senators are running away from Harris and toward Trump in battleground states. We talked about this phenomenon with Professor Charles Lipson on this week’s Chicago Way podcast.

“All these candidates want a Harris victory,” said Lipson “but they want split ticket voting (to survive in November) “What they’re implying is that they wouldn’t oppose Trump. And I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.”

Kamala is falling apart. She pushed out a chunk of stupid in her latest NBC interview for all to see.

“Joe Biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced and capable in every way that anyone would want of their president,” Harris said.

Really? That’s a lie Kamala. Joe is a grifter. We all know it. No one wants Joe as president. He’s the senile old man soiling himself, and Kamala, like the other Democrats covered up for him for years and everyone knew it. Then she lied about it again in her NBC interview. The lying corporate media covered for him for years, asking for years about his favorite ice cream and assuring us he was sharp as a tack. Was he? No.

One other hint that they’re losing: Democrats are having a panic party. Leftist Angela Rye says “white folks must face accountability.”

“So the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country,” said Rye. “That is white men, white women. I don’t want to see a women’s march with pussy hats come January if something doesn’t go right. What I want to see is them march themselves to the polls, including today,” Rye added.

And I would like the opposite. I want them to stay home, on the couch, smoking bongs of Hopium, singing Dylan songs. Chill.

So much pre-election anxiety. Endless media lies. I think I’ll just stick with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and ice water. I’ve got to keep my wits about me now. They’re all going crazy. Head on a swivel. Less than two weeks to go.

    1. Great piece. In my opinion Neil has become the successor to little J boy Chris Wallace. Cavuto lost his mind years ago. Like most in the business, he used to have a brain. If I want to listen to an investor show, I listen to Charles Payne.

  2. Mr. K.

    They are pulling out all stops now. General Kelly out of the wood work pile claiming Trump supported Hitler, and is incapable of leadership. ABC world news led off last evening with Harris first denouncing Trump over the alleged statements..

    Perfect example of the media trying to control the election just two weeks away.

    Great work JK

  3. Great one, John. But the TDS is strong in those swing states. The apparatchiks are working overtime to find new dirt to throw. Will you cover what Candace Owen’s is uncovering? Your words above are exactly why I’m a faithful subscriber.

  4. Trump is no more a fascist than Ronald Reagan, whom he surpassed in the percentage of the Republican vote he received in 2020. Reagan got 93% in 1984 and Trump got 94% last time, according to the Roper Center.

    I finally figured out what Trump is. I thought he was kind of a Rockefeller Republican, an old Northeast, moderate Republican, the proverbial country club Republican. Politically, that seemed to fit, although he was a ruffian.

    But I’ve finally come to the realization that he and Elon Musk are actually Working Libertarians, a new species of Republican. Unlike traditional Libertarians they don’t sit around and merely whine about monstrous government, they go out and and attack it with clubs. They are the complete opposite of fascists, which, of course, is what the Democrat Party has become and why they are out to cut Trump’s throat.

  5. Just filled out my ballot in Pennsylvania. I think I’ll join you in watching MSNBC on Election Day and let the shrieking of the AWFLs echoing in the hills around me put me to sleep like a lullaby.

  6. I voted yesterday too, John. I was going to wait, but just went and got it done. Didn’t care for the not showing ID. I submitted that ballot into the automated black box and walked out wondering if that ballot will actually be tallied as it was cast.

  7. LOVE IT !!!
    I, as a “bargaining unit” member of skilled trades, voted early as well. Yes, the lines were long, but it is my right and it needed to be done.
    I’ve had people ask me how I voted, I respond with “would you like me bank account number as well?”
    Too bad Gretchen didn’t serve the “influencer” Flaming Hot Doritos !!!
    Also, drink milk with your Cheetos. You can eat more and you support local daires!😎

    2. Your list of Dem ‘sins’ is excellent. Very powerful. Voters should read b 4 voting.
      But both parties wage war. The Deep State controls both. Our economy depends on it. We need to start the draft again. No exemptions! Rich and poor kids need to lose their lives and only then will we stop unnecessary wars, ie Vietnam. Sounds terrible huh. We’ll war is terrible and most who push it have never fought in

  10. I voted a few days ago at out local
    Library. Got there at 735 (0800 opening) and was about twentieth in line. Ten minutes and I’m done. One dem candidate for Congress locally (middle TN) screeched about how she is going to stop Insider trading by elected officials Yeah like congress is going to change that deal but if it did the spouse or partner would just take the info. I wonder how AOC has multiply increased her net worth I a short period of time. I read that in Crook county early voting is only at the regional courthouses. Talk about suppression of early voting. Can we say accessibility issues for seniors? The white liberals who still have guilt even after voting Obama into
    Office twice will dutifully cast their ballot for KW ticket and other fat cats of the keft but … they hide their true position well like Kamala and the left hid Joe’s corruption and senility. This time two weeks from now PA will still be counting absentee ballots. God help us.

    1. Oh and I forgot to mention the subtle electioneering going on at the library in a rich liberal area. In prominent display where you had to Que up to vote numerous books on Kamala and others trashing Trump. God help us all.

    2. Maybe you should not believe everything you read. I’m a senior. I live in Cook County Illinois – specifically North Riverside (which I assume is the “Crook County” in your post – although there is a real Crook County in Oregon). My early voting site is at the Berwyn Pavek Rec Center. In Brookfield, Il (also Cook County): Village Hall. Lyons (likewise Cook County)? Village Hall. Stickney (yup, Cook County as well)? the Stickney-Forest View Library. You’re beginning to sound like the very folks you criticize … just mouthing off any ole falsehood just as long as it confirms your political bias.

  13. Voted on the Cheddar Border, looking at the antics in Shaumburg IL, where it was reported that 79 people were told to “leave ballots and go home” and the Powers That Be would “fix” said ballots, once they also “fixed” the voting machine sometime that evening.

    We didn’t have this problem in my little hamlet on the northern side of the border, where voting was moved from a village clerk’s office to the township auditorium due to many voters showing up. Everybody when I was there requested a paper ballot. The optional voting machine sat unused in a nook.

    I think I should have some Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with a side of onion cream cheese dip for a Breakfast of Champions.

  14. I think that I will go St. Joe Club and have a plateful of Bangers and Mash* ( opt for the Polish sausage and Irish sausage combo) with grilled onions ladled over the pile. Yep, the food of peasants goes very well when Global Wokeys are having the vapors and the miseries!

    * Mexican American chef Rudy is a genius!!!!!!

  15. The red wave of 2022 never existed.

    It was brilliant psy-op by the left that had managed to co-opt RCP’s own once-reliable polling. RCP’s aggregated data was driven by other polling that oversampled Republicans (instead of Democrats), and RCP failed to recognize it and normalize the data.

    I know Tom Bevan is your friend, but RCP’s polling aggregation has no credibility, any longer.

  16. I’ve given up on watching ANY news network! All biased and one sided, liberal or conservative, no honest discussion on the pros or cons of each side! I can’t wait for this election to end! But I can count on you for HONEST JOURNALISM! Keep it up!

  17. Thank you, John Kass, for this site.

    I have Cheetos Puffs in the cabinet, ready to celebrate.

    Just joined your site, after lurking for the past year. Have laughed and sometimes cried at your (and others) fabulous writing. From 60th and Honore, to Brookfield and now Downers Grove, I have wept and become enraged at what has happened to our once safe and beautiful city.

    Last week I was in line for 30 minutes at the Park District. So glad to see so many 5W’s doing their patriotic duty.

    Some dims I play cards with are all in a tizzy about President Trump doing these “staged” photo ops. My response? “It’s a campaign! Of course he’s doing ten things a day! Why isn’t Kamala doing it too? Why isn’t she standing in a McD’s showing that she ALREADY knew how to work the fryer?”

    They look at me like I’m the crazy one.

    God Bless America and keep President Trump safe. We need him now more than ever.

  19. I get “the paper”, since it is essentially free, just to see how things are portrayed from another perspective. It always makes sense to me to see things from all sides in order to be able to have a deeper conversation. Oh wait, no Demoncrat wants to have (or can have) a conversation or debate. In today’s issue, as I am sure you know, Trump’s former aide Kelly is calling Trump out as fascist, Hitler lover, all the things you wrote about today. Keep it up!

  20. After 50+ years of living in the People’s Republic of Chicago, I too have moved to the state of sunshine, low taxes, good government and gators. I voted on Monday as well. For a majority of my adult life, I voted in Chicago and I can’t remember my candidates ever winning. I was proud all the same, and you know what I did the next day after my candidates lost-I didn’t put on a pussy hat and go down to Grant park or Michigan avenue to break windows and loot-I went to work as I’d done the day before. It’s been a nice change in FL as my candidates have won in my two elections voting here, despite all the New Yorkers, New Jersey and Illinois people who’ve moved here. Watch out what will happen there if Trump wins.

    My main point here though is aimed at you Kass: don’t jinx us with the overconfidence you’ve gained from moving to Indiana. You’re a Southside guy like me and you should know better. Zip the victory talk until 11/6!

  21. This is a bit off-point from the theme of today’s JKass column, but I’ll toss it out anyway for consideration:

    I have heard that for quite some time now the Biden Administration has been spending taxpayer money to send planes to various countries, fill them up with wannabe emigres, and return to the USA where the illegals are dumped. This way, the flow of illegals is NOT stanched, yet Kamala can proffer the disingenuous, big lie that “crossings along our southern border have diminished.”

    If this is true, it’s another brick in the wall of deception well-built by the current, pathetic Administration.

  22. Mr. Kass- great job as always. I got the IN polling place at 8:05 for a 9:00 opening, and was second in line- first was a very nice guy and we had a great (non-political) conversation. This election is going to be extremely important to the future of our country. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t worry what kind of country and world my grand children are going to have to face, and by nature I am a “glass half full” type of guy.

    1. In the recent past, we re-learned the lesson of stay-at-home-voting in the City of Chicago. A handful of votes put the current mayor in office. Just for the heck of it, how can we persuade those that think the outcome is in the bag, to put out a little effort…..and vote. Early if possible.

  24. Your argument is convincing, just like it was in 2022, when inflation was through the roof, and the border was being overrun at hundreds of thousands per month. Yet, what should have been a red wave was a trickle. As Donna Brazile has confidently said on ABC for months, it will all come down to “boots on the ground”. Translation: the Dems now have a full month to go door to door and literally GET the vote in Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee. And if that happens as before, it’s all over. Harris wins.

    1. Exactly Tom. John predicted a red wave 2 yrs ago and nuttin.
      The Dem women of this country will NEVER forget Hiliarys loss after looking like a shoe in. The 5Ws: wacky, weighty, woke , wealthy, white women now run this country politically.
      And it won’t be a squeaker either. Altho not a landslide she will win decisively.
      Abortion and guns take her over victory line,. SADLY.

  25. Early voting in Florida started this past Monday. We filled out our ballots and I personally delivered then to the secure ballot box. I think Republicans are a little wary of election night shenanigans after the surprise of 2020. I also have a theory that the record breaking Early voting in the swing states favors Trump…precisely for the same reason.

  26. Mr. Kass, home run hitters know they have hit a home run before the ball lands in the bleachers. I will bet you knew when you typed the last word of your essay that it would go over the fence. That has got to be the best feeling ever. Keep swinging and connecting. We need the great cheer you bring us all.

  28. Oh the shenanigans those wily Demonrats are pulling! Kelly says Trump will be another Hitler, yet Trump already served four years and didn’t become a dictator. Also, if Kelly knew Trump would be another Hitler, why’d he serve under him, and why’d he wait FOUR years to say something? Sounds fishy to me.

    Also sounding fishy: Trump punks Kommie Kammie by doing a photo op at Mickey D’s to call attention to her bald-faced lie that she used to work there. The media were also punked because they reported Trump was losing his mind, while also naively mentioning that Kammie lie. The fishy part? The NEXT day the Deep State reports that Mickey Ds has an e-coli outbreak. What a coincidence!

    It’s good that everyone is voting early, but social media is full of stories from Republican voters that the ballot-reading machines are changing Trump votes to Kammie. Therefore, in addition to asking for a paper ballot, voters should make doubly certain their votes are being read properly.

    Also, numerous reports on social media say voters appearing at the polls are being told they already voted by mail. Those “mail in” votes, no doubt, are being cast by the usual cheats — the Demonrats. They have an algorithm that shows who’s likely to vote and who’s not. They then submit votes for those who are unlikely to vote. That’s why early voting is a good idea. Get your vote counted before someone claiming to be you votes for you.

    Last, don’t believe the Demonrats who are telling you early voting is only available at Crook County courthouses. There are numerous early voting sites available throughout the county. Google “early voting near me,” enter your address and watch a list of available nearby sites pop up.

  29. In Nevada when pressed, the Democratic Secy of State refused to clean up the voter rolls. Chuck Muth and his Pigpen project have found thousands of people on Nevada voter rolls and the Sec of State refuses to remove them.

    If they can’t cheat, they don’t win.

  30. Great column John. I feel the same way about Caputo. I won’t watch his show because he’s desperate in pushing for the Democrats. I will take your advice on getting the flaming hot cheetos to watch on election night. I’ve never been more proud to be a Republican. MAGA.

  31. This column John is reminiscent of your “red wave” column of two years ago. Then you were so sure of the coming “red wave” that you wrote how you were going to pull up a chair in front of your TV, grab a bag of pop corn and have a good ole time. How’d that work out John?

  32. I made a note that you have a weakness for Cheetos Flamin’ Hot corn curls and Coke Zero.
    My food weakness is Little Debbie Cake Rolls and Diet Coke.
    I spend a lot of time on XTwitter because of politics. I am also on Facebook, but that’s for the “community” of cat lovers mostly.
    XTwitter is where, if you can still stomach politics, it flourishes there. Well, you know that.
    The vibe that I’m getting from “over there” is that progressive Democrats are in panic mode.
    Hell, just a few short months ago, the Libs were puffing out their breastless chests, talking tough and all cocky that Trump would be in jail and off the campaign trail.
    First, they hit him with the “convicted felon” label. MAGA didn’t care and even laughed about it.
    Then, they tried the E. Jean Carroll sexual predator angle. Nobody believed that crap either.
    So, now they pulled out the big gun…HITLER and FACISM. Because they believe he’ll be an authoritarian with an “enemy’s list.
    On Sunday, I will turn 72. Do the math and you can see that I have been through a few elections.
    In fact; I am an election judge who will be working on Nov. 5th. It’s true that I thought about voting early and where I live, early voting has been crazy.
    I figured, “you know, I will be there working, so it will be a perfect time to vote. But, it gets better. I will be the FIRST to vote after the polls open. Number #1 with a bullet baby.
    Once we deliver the ballots to our county seat, I will go home and smoke a very large/very expensive cigar to cclebrate the Trump victory…and it WILL be a Trump victory.
    Here’s a scoop. Write this down. In 2028, JD Vance will run for POTUS. His opponent? None other than Illinois’ own JB Pritzer. Democrats won’t admit it, but they really do like rich, white men.
    You have a gift, John Kass.
    Thank you for sharing it with us.

  34. One of your best columns John. You are on fire. I still see so-called “friends” that are electricians who tout “Trump is _________, fill in the blank with every negative that the Dems are actually guilty of. Mental illness & hopefully they have a grand re-opening of the nations mental health institutions to house these reprobates. You have brought back memories of riding the El in the morning to work & watching the ghetto trash have their nutritious breakfast of Flamin Hot Cheeto’s & Nehi, then wonder why they have diabetes.
