Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! We are just three weeks away from Election Day. If you haven’t yet, this is the time to fortify your plan to cast your ballot. We cannot afford to lose a single vote to a last-minute hiccup or a meeting that runs late. If you think you’ll be cutting it close on November 5, vote early and hand-deliver your ballot. An early vote is better than no vote.

You can make sure you’re registered to vote here.

Kamala caught plagiarizing book

Kamala Harris was caught plagiarising her book, Smart on Crime — even pulling text from Wikipedia

The details: Professor Stefan Weber claims to have found 27 instances where Harris and/or her co-author Joan O'C Hamilton lifted long passages from other sources for the 2009 book.

• According to Weber, "24 fragments are plagiarism from other authors, [and] 3 fragments are self-plagiarism from a work written with a co-author."

Examples: Conservative activist Christopher Rufo was the first to report Weber’s findings, and he lays out multiple examples where Harris straight-up ripped long passages from other sources — including NBC News, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and [most embarassingly] a Wikipedia page, known as an unreliable source. Here’s the Wiki-rip-off:

• Wikipedia: The Mid-town Community Court was established as a collaboration between the New York State Unified Court System and the Center for Court Innovation. The court works in partnership with local residents, businesses, and social service agencies in order to organize community service projects and provide on-site social services, including drug treatment, mental health counseling, and job training.

• Kamala: The Mid-town Community Court was established as a collaboration between the New York State Unified Court System and the Center for Court Innovation. The court works in partnership with local residents, businesses, and social service agencies to organize community service projects and provide on-site social services, including drug treatment, mental health counseling, and job training.

All she did was remove “in order.”

Back up: In 1988, Joe Biden was forced to end his presidential campaign after it was discovered he was plagiarizing his speeches.

LOL: J.D. Vance responded to the report, writing on X: "Hi, I'm JD Vance. I wrote my own book, unlike Kamala Harris, who copied hers from Wikipedia."

Big picture: One of the greatest issues Kamala is facing in her presidential campaign is inauthenticity. Plagiarising your book from Wikipedia does not help.

Kamala tries to buy off Black voters

Kamala Harris is making a desperate [and likely illegal] pitch to Black male voters, offering $20,000 bribes, as her polling with the demographic collapses.

The details: Kamala unveiled her Opportunity Agenda for Black Men yesterday, which would distribute one million "fully forgivable" $20,000 loans to "Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business."

“Fully forgivable,” of course, means it’s not a loan. It’s a giveaway.

Pot shot: Additionally, Kamala seems to lean into negative stereotypes, with one provision that would include: “Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.”

Zoom out: Harris is making this 11th-hour pitch as recent polls show her underperforming with Black men, usually a reliable vote for Democrats. Here’s the recent historical trend for Black male voters aged 18-44:

• 2012, Obama: +81

• 2016, Hillary: +63

• 2020, Biden: +53

• 2024, Kamala: +41

Dispatching Barry: Last week, former President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail for Kamala and scolded the "brothers" who aren't supporting her, suggesting they were being sexist.

Real talk from G: Isn't this the typical Democrat playbook? Ignore Black voters for 3 years and 11 months. Now, with 21 days left, Kamala Harris has arrived with open arms.

The last word: Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to Kamala's last-minute plan by saying:

• "Trump is making historic gains with demographic because they had more money in their pockets when he was president, crime was under control in their communities, they weren't being put last [while] illegal immigrants are put first."
