Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! This was too good not to share. Below is a real video of Trump’s new Secretary of Education (Linda McMahon) and the mayor of Knoxville, TN (Glen Jacobs, aka Kane) back when they were both part of WWE. 🤣 

If you grew up watching WWE [like me], this is awesome.

Laken Riley killer found guilty

A Georgia judge found Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra guilty on all charges in the brutal murder of nursing student Laken Riley, whose death sparked a national debate about illegal immigration.

The details: Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard delivered the guilty verdict, convicting Ibarra on all ten charges, including malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, and aggravated assault with intent to rape.

• A mountain of evidence, such as Ibarra’s DNA under her fingernails and scratches on Ibarra’s body.

• Prosecutor Sheila Ross said: “She marked him for everyone to see.”

Back up: Riley, a nursing student, was abducted and killed while jogging near the University of Georgia campus on February 22. Investigators determined she died of blunt force trauma.

New details: Prosecutors revealed during the trial that Riley fought for her life for 18 minutes before Ibarra brutally killed her.

The sentence: Ibarra was given life in prison without the possibility of parole. Georgia has the death sentence, but radical left-wing DA Deborah Gonzalez elected not to make that an option because [brace yourselves] it would create “collateral consequences to undocumented defendants.”

Open border: Immigration became a lynchpin in the 2024 election, often rated as voter’s #2 issue. Since his re-election, Donald Trump has appointed immigration hardliner Tom Homan as his ‘Border Czar’ and has suggested he plans to issue a national emergency to mobilize the U.S. military to assist with his plan for mass deportations.

The last word goes to Donald Trump, who wrote:

• “JUSTICE FOR LAKEN RILEY! … Although the pain and heartbreak will last forever, hopefully this can help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families don’t have to go through what they have. We love you, Laken, and our hearts will always be with you. It is time to secure our Border, and remove these criminals and thugs from our Country, so nothing like this can happen again!”

Jaguar’s woke rebrand

Jaguar was the butt of many hokes online after the iconic car brand abandoned its James Bond aesthetic and gave itself a woke, high-fashion makeover dubbed “a new era.”

The details: The luxury carmaker revealed its new look in a 30-second video posted to social media that featured several emotionless actors dressed in bright, ridiculous outfits straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.

• The post’s caption reads, “Copy nothing.” while the video featured slogans like "create exuberant" and "delete ordinary" flash on screen.

Something missing: One thing is missing from this car commercial… Cars.

Critics were quick to call out the carmaker on social media:

• Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote: “Do you sell cars?”

• Valuetainment CEO Pat Bet-David wrote: “Copy Apple’s 1984 commercial with an LGBTQ twist.”

• Popular X user @WarClandestine wrote: "I’m not sure you all heard, but we aren’t doing that liberal artsy bullshit anymore. Read the room."

The numbers: Jaguar’s sales have bombed over the last few years. In 2016, they sold 31,243 cars in the U.S. In 2023, they sold just 8,348 cars.

What Jaguar is saying: Their Chief Creative Officer Gerry McGovern says the brand is “making it relevant for a contemporary audience."

What is the long game? The brand teased the reveal of a new concept car at Miami’s Art Basel next month.

Real talk from G: This looks more like Ru Paul’s Drag Race than a car you’d see at a drag race. I don’t think there are enough wealthy transgender artists to make this relaunch successful.
