Wake Up Right - September 20, 2024

Happy Friday, folks! Since it’s the weekend, may I recommend a drinking game..? 😁 Here’s how you play. If you catch Kamala Harris doing a rare interview, you:

  1. Take a drink every time she says: “I grew up a middle-class kid.”

  2. Take a drink every time she says: “I was a prosecutor of a border state.”

These are her stock answers whenever someone asks how she plans to fix the economy and the border, which she broke.

I can’t guarantee you that you’ll find her doing an interview since she’s only done three in total. But I can guarantee you you’ll have a decent buzz if you play this game.

Democrat threatens to kill conservative Supreme Court justices

A democrat donor has been arrested for making repeated threats against the six conservative Supreme Court justices.

The details: The U.S. Department of Justice announced it had arrested 76-year-old Panos Anastasiou for sending more than 465 threatening messages to six Supreme Court justices [it does not name them, but it is implied it the six conservatives].

The messages: They began on March 10,m 2023, and continued through July 16, 2024. The DOJ says they “escalated to messages intending to threaten harm toward the victims” and “contained violent, racist, and homophobic rhetoric coupled with threats of assassination by torture, hanging, and firearms.

The intent: The DOJ claims Anastasiou sent his threats in response to the court's decisions he did not agree with and meant to "intimidate Supreme Court Justices 1-6 and retaliate against them."

Democrat donor: FEC records show Anastasiou donated more than 80 times to Democrat politicians and left-wing causes.

The charges: Anastasiou faces up to 155 years in prison for nine counts of making threats against federal judges as well as 13 counts of threats via interstate commerce.

Zoom out: Kamala Harris has repeatedly attacked the Supreme Court in recent years and even suggested she’d support Constitutional amendments to change it.

Big picture: There is an epidemic of left-wing violence against conservatives — from the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump to the transgender person who murdered children at a Christian school in Nashville last year. All the while, the Democrats insist the greatest threat our country faces is “right-wing extremists.”

Air Force’s DEI goals include reducing number of white males

The Air Force has begrudgingly released documents detailing its efforts to reduce the number of white male applicants for its Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) officer program.

The details: Internal documents from the U.S. Air Force detail its “goal” to decrease the percentage of white male ROTC officer applicants from 60% in 2019 to 43% by 2029 — part of the woke Biden-Harris Pantagon's push for DEI.

  • The bottom of the slide reads: “White male population will decline as other demographics increase."

  • The documents also reveal a budget of $500,000 for “diversity advertising campaigns” and $250,000 for "influencer engagements."

Stonewalling: The Center To Advance Security In America (CASA) initially requested records from the Air Force related to their recruitment standards but were told they could not be located. So CASA sued in April 2024 and finally obtained them after months of stonewalling.

Back up: In 2022, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown issued a mandate to change the gender and racial demographics of the Air Force in the name of "diversity and inclusion."

The last word goes to James Fitzpatrick, director CASA, who said: “The American people are rightly concerned that, at a time when our country is facing dangerous and increasing threats throughout the world, the Air Force is focused on recruitment efforts based on arbitrary racial diversity goals — not merit or increasing the force’s lethality.”
