Wake Up Right - July 11, 2025

`

Happy Friday, Wake Up Right fam! You probably wouldn’t know it, based on mainstream media reports, but polling shows support for President Trump’s deportation efforts is SURGING – including with Hispanic voters.

60% of all Americans support, and just 37% oppose the deportation of illegal aliens. Under the hood:

  • 50% of Hispanic voters support deportations – an 11% rise from just two months ago.

  • 53% of Black voters support deportations

  • 65% of White voters support deportations

American citizens of all races get it. Deportations lead to lower rent, higher wages, less government spending, and less crime.

Ignore the well-funded riots. Ignore the left-wing rhetoric. All gas, no brakes. Deport.

  • 🌡️ 40% greatly fear climate change, was 46% in 2020

  • 🛜 Japan breaks internet speed record: 1.02 petabits/sec

  • 🚀 Trump taps Sean Suffy as interim NASA administrator

  • 📉 Trump approval avg: 46.3% approve, 50.3% disapprove

Feds raid Cali pot farms, discover underage illegals

Federal agents conducted immigration raids on two marijuana farms in California, arresting dozens — including 10 illegal alien minors — and clashing with hundreds of protesters.

The details: At roughly 8:30 AM on Tuesday, agents executed a criminal judicial warrant on Glass House Farms’ cannabis facilities in Camarillo and Carpinteria, California, for harboring aliens.

Undocumented children: CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott confirmed 10 illegal alien juveniles were found — eight of them unaccompanied — at the Camarillo site.

  • Glass House Farms is now under federal investigation for potential child labor violations.

Clashes with protestors: Hundreds of protesters attempted to block agents and National Guard troops, prompting the use of tear gas and rubber rounds.

  • One protester fired a gun at agents, prompting an FBI manhunt with a $50,000 reward.

  • Border Czar Tom Homan slammed Democrats this morning on Fox News, saying: “What happened in California is just another example of protesters becoming criminals, and they’ve been emboldened by even members of Congress who compare ICE to Nazis and racists and terrorists.”

Newscum chimes in: California Governor Gavin Newsom took to X to oppose the raid, saying: “Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump calls me ‘Newscum’ — but he’s the real scum.”

  • The Department of Homeland Security responded directly on X, saying: "Why are there children working at a marijuana facility, Gavin?"

The numbers: 60% of Americans – including 53% of Hispanics – support Trump’s deportation efforts.

The last word goes to Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec, who wrote on X:

  • "Thanks to Trump, ICE has now begun finding the children the Biden admin ‘lost.’ Many have been working forced labor in Newsom’s state. The child trafficking is off the scale God’s children are not for sale."

Free ride is over: Trump cuts off free tuition to illegals

The Department of Education (DOE) rescinded a Clinton-era policy that let illegal aliens tap into federal funding to pay their tuition for educational programs.

History lesson: In 1996, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) was signed into law, reforming welfare and restricting benefits to non-citizens.

  • But one year later, Clinton issued guidance that sidestepped PRWORA, allowing illegals to access taxpayer dollars for adult, technical, and career programs.

The details: On Thursday, the Trump administration’s DOE notified postsecondary programs (colleges, trade schools, technical schools, etc) that the rule would no longer be mischaracterized and that beginning August 9, all federally funded programs must verify participants’ immigration status to remain compliant.

Back up: The groundwork for this move was laid on February 19, when President Trump issued an executive order titled "Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.”

  • The order cited text in PRWORA, which says “aliens within the Nation’s borders [should] not depend on public resources to meet their needs."

Zoom out: This move follows the broader push by the Trump administration to root out educational benefits for illegal aliens. It recently sued Minnesota, Texas, and Kentucky for allowing illegals to pay in-state tuition for college.

The last word goes to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who said:

  • “Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens. Under President Trump’s leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens.”

Your thoughts on Trump and the Epstein files

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Somewhere in the middle. (398) 1069 Votes

🟨🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜️ I'm more focused on the economy, border, etc... (348)

🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜️⬜️ This could hurt Trump's legacy. (323)

Somewhere in the middle: “Who the hell knows at this point… political maneuvering, government coverup, inability to collect concrete evidence,… probably a mixture of all of it. Just fix immigration, men in women’s spaces (I have daughters), and pump the economy.”

Could hurt Trump’s legacy: “While I'm a huge Trump supporter, I am disappointed in the lack of answers on the Epstein files… It’s very upsetting and has left a bad taste in my mouth for his administration. He promised transparency and the American people deserve the truth. Who are they protecting?”

More focused on economy, border, etc: “Any hard evidence is long gone, Dems had control of it for way too long.”

More focused on economy, border, etc: “Bondi is the one who messed up here by repeatedly teasing big revelations that never materialized.”

Could hurt Trump’s legacy: “Disappointed that no matter who is in the White House, there is an apparent cover-up. Why should the 1000 girls have to live with this for life? These people need to be exposed, no matter who it is, so the girls can have closure.”

More focused on economy, border, etc: “First the Iran war and now Epstein files - we're getting trolled by bots to break up the MAGA coalition and devolve into a circular firing squad. Do not fall for it!”

Could hurt Trump’s legacy: “He broke a campaign promise. Also, it looks a little suspicious. Who is on that list that he doesn’t want the public to see?!?!?”

Somewhere in the middle: “I feel like there is a good reason for holding back on this information, I just wish there was a better explanation they could present to the public to make it all make sense.”

A few months ago, I was at a butcher in my neighborhood and saw a diagram of a cow, with all the cuts of meat labeled. And that gave me an idea for a t-shirt:

DOGE Butcher Shop — but instead of the cow, we use a pig. And the cuts of meat in the diagram represent all the waste, fraud, and abuse being butchered by the Trump admin.

Over the last few weeks, I worked with a really talented graphic designer who brought it to life. And on Friday I got a sample in the mail and I’m happy to say, it came out better than I’d hoped.

Also, my wife told me I had to mention that the t-shirt it’s printed on is Comfort Colors. Apparently, they’re well-known for high-quality materials. I just chose them because they are printed in the U.S. and made with 100 U.S. cotton.
