Wake Up Right - September 17, 2024
Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! A recent poll from Pew Research asked Trump and Kamala supporters about legal gun ownership.
89% of Trump supporters say gun ownership increases safety
81% of Kamala supporters say gun ownership reduces safety.
Who’s right? Federal data says that almost all gun crimes (89%) are committed by people who illegally possess firearms. In other words, legal gun owners are not the problem. Harris voters are tragically misinformed.

Trump highlights how Democrat rhetoric radicalized assassin
The Trump campaign released a long list of quotes from Democrats and media figures using extremely inflammatory rhetoric against him, claiming it fueled the two attempts to assassinate the GOP nominee.
The details: In a campaign e-mail sent to supporters, Trump’s team claimed the shooter “was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.”
The list: The campaign compiled a list of more than 50 dangerous quotes from Democrats like Kamala, Joe Biden, and others. Here are a few:
Kamala Harris — repeatedly: "Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
Joe Biden: "It's time to put Trump in a bullseye."
Rick Wilson, The Lincoln Project: “They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”
Rep. Stacey Plaskett: Trump “needs to be shot.” [she corrected herself to say “stopped,” but it sounded intentional to my ears.]
Rep. Adam Schiff: Trump is the “gravest threat to our democracy.”
Rep. Maxine Waters: “Are [Trump supporters] preparing a civil war against us?”
Liz Cheney: “Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis.”
Lester Holt, NBC News: Blamed Trump's "increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail” for the assassination attempt.
Zoom out: In a social media post from April of this year, Ryan Routh repeated a line frequently used by Kamala Harris and other Democrats: "DEMOCRACY is on the ballot."
Back up: On Sunday, Routh attempted to kill Trump with an AK-47 at his Palm Beach golf course. Weeks earlier, Thomas Crooks shot Trump in the ear while he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Real talk from G: Kamala Harris reacted to the second assassination attempt, saying, "I am glad he is safe." But if she truly believes Trump is a “threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms,” then why is she happy he survived? I’m serious. Why would you be happy such a “threat” survived? Either her response is disingenuous, or her claim that he’s a threat is. She cannot feel both.

Illegal alien TikToker ordered to be deported
Illegal alien influencer Leonel Moreno, known for using TikTok to encourage illegals to scam the United States, has been ordered deported by an Ohio judge.
Back up: Moreno, originally from Venezuela, illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was released into the country on 'Alternatives to Detention' parole due to a lack of space.
The details: An Ohio immigration judge ordered Moreno removed from the U.S. on September 9 after he failed to appear for mandatory check-ins with ICE. Most illegals don’t check in with ICE, but it appears that this rule was enforced because of Moreno’s high-profile shenanigans.
More about Moreno: At one point, he boasted roughly 500,000 followers on TikTok, where he encouraged others to illegally enter the U.S., bragged about weekly checks from the U.S. government, and encouraged other illegals to "squat" in people's homes. Here are some of the things he said on social media:
"I confess, I don't like to work because it gives me allergies. I live off taxes you pay."
“Work is for slaves, boys... You have to be creative to ask for money."
"If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it."
Not so fast: The one variable complicating Moreno’s deportation is the diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. Earlier this year, President Nicolás Maduro stopped accepting flights of deported illegals after the Biden regime reimposed economic sanctions. So he’ll hopefully remain in ICE custody.
