DOJ TARGETS Trump's Twitter Followers; Are YOU on a Government Watchlist? | 11/29/23

DOJ is targeting people who interacted with Trump on Twitter/X — are YOU on a government watch list?



It’s never been easier to get yourself on a government watch list.

According to recently released and heavily redacted search warrants, the Biden administration’s Department of Justice is making sure of that.

The DOJ demanded information on “all users” who interacted with former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account leading up to the Capitol protest on January 6.

The DOJ called on Twitter to provide the department with the “content of all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted by” Trump’s account, including “deleted tweets.” A list of “all users” that Trump's account “followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked” was also requested.

In addition, the DOJ wanted a list of those who followed, unfollowed, muted, unmuted, blocked, or unblocked Trump as well.

Sara Gonzales thinks it’s all absolutely insane, especially considering Trump was essentially a Twitter icon.

“That’s everyone who’s ever been on Twitter,” Gonzales says, in shock, while Stu Burguiere notes that they might as well just be asking for “all Twitter user information.”

“It shows how deep they’ve gone on this. This is really their game plan, is to target everybody who opposes them, and this is I guess a good starting point,” Stu says.

However, many people who absolutely hated Trump — like those with cases of TDS — obsessively responded to the former president.

“What about all those nice Democrats that have been calling him Hitler all these years?” Stu asks.

“They now are on the government list as well.”

Britney Spears posts VERY STRANGE video, leaving many wondering if it was wise to free her



Pop icon Britney Spears is just as famous for her music as she is for her ever-prominent presence in the tabloids.

Back in 2020, Spears was finally freed from the controlling conservatorship her father wielded over her, but since her liberation, she’s been doing some rather bizarre things.

And when we say bizarre, we mean even more bizarre than her typical doings.

Sara Gonzales plays a recent clip of Spears, who’s wearing very little clothing (nothing new there), while dancing with large kitchen knives.

The video sparked serious criticism and raised questions regarding the decision to end her conservatorship.

Apparently, “Shakira danced with knives during a concert,” which is where Spears allegedly drew inspiration.

“Her excuse was like, 'I was just trying to do what Shakira did, I was just kind of emulating her, they're not real knives, Halloween is soon, [so] don't worry about it,'" reports Sara.

“But everyone is now up in arms like, ‘Oh my God, we did the wrong thing by trying to convince a judge to release her conservatorship,”’ she mocks.

“I still disagree. … You have the right to be a crazy person in this country.”

“If she wasn't famous, nobody would give her a conservatorship based off of what I've seen,” Sara continues.

Blaze Media editor in chief Matt Peterson admits that he might be “old man-ing this,” but he can’t understand why anyone would care about “Britney Spears doing a knife dance at her mansion” considering all of the other madness on the internet.

“Have you seen the internet? Have you been on the internet? There's a lot of other things wrong with it, too,” he says.

However, “I think that Taylor Swift should get a conservatorship to stay the heck away from the NFL and its football players,” he jokes.

TMZ, on the other hand, finds Britney’s “fascination with knives” a cause for serious concern. A previous report by the tabloid revealed that Spears is apparently paranoid that someone will hurt her, which is why she “keeps [knives] all around the house.”

But that’s not convincing enough for Matt.

“Were some of the people in the riot videos, did any of them have knives?” he asks. “I think I see a lot of people who need conservatorships … roaming around the country.”

Touché.

Is AI ACTUALLY going to prevent your kids from getting jobs someday? Here are some things to consider.



Artificial intelligence is all the rage these days. It’s already snaked its way into countless occupations, and it’s projected to be the most profitable industry in the days to come.

Many parents are concerned that when it comes time for their children to get jobs someday, there will be a shortage of opportunities because AI will be dominating the workforce.

While these fears are totally legitimate, Sara Gonzales has some words of comfort.

“There is a lot of work that is immune, particularly jobs that would come through trade schools … mechanics, physical labor-type jobs,” she says.

“Is AI gonna sell you on something? No, you're gonna need a person-to-person interaction; you're gonna need some human conversation,” she assures.

Further, now that colleges have essentially become “indoctrination centers,” kids “might not necessarily need that education to be able to…learn a trade and do good work and make good money,” says Sara.

We also have to remember that “there's going to be a lot of giant holes in AI.” As with any technology, there will be glitches, bugs, and deficiencies in AI that require humans to step in. Certainly there will be a plethora of careers dedicated to this alone.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not frightening to consider what the world will look like as AI continues to advance.

As an artist, Eric July feels the threat of AI deeply, as art is the “industry [AI] is impacting the most,” he says.

“I don't think as it grows there will be an industry that it doesn't at least touch,” he says, “but that's when … people need to get creative about showing how valuable they actually are.”

“Anything where you are creating something or adding value, you'll be fine,” adds contributor John Doyle.

So there you have it. Is AI going to impact the workforce? Absolutely. Does that mean there will be no job opportunities? Highly unlikely.

The truth is technology can be incredibly efficient and convenient, but it will never equate to the value of a human being. And in a world centered around human beings, the need for human touch will always be necessary.

Dr. Fauci CONFRONTED by an Unusual Suspect

Dr. Fauci CONFRONTED by an Unusual Suspect

Anthony Fauci was just CONFRONTED by the most UNUSUAL suspect



It's an odd day when CNN makes sense.

This past Saturday, CNN host Michael Smerconish confronted Anthony Fauci with a study that showed masking made little to no difference in the course of COVID-19.

“The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illness, including COVID-19, was published last month,” Smerconish told Fauci, explaining that the conclusion was “there is just no evidence that they — masks — make any difference.”

Even the N95 masks were found to “make no difference.”

Fauci retorted with what seemed to be more garbled nonsense, saying that on an individual level they work, but “when you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong.”

“This dumba** really wants you to believe that somehow it didn’t work on a pandemic level, but on an individual level, they worked,” Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why It Matters" comments. “Well, no, idiot. Because if they worked on an individual level, they would work on a pandemic larger scale.”

Jaco Booyens, while noting how ridiculous Fauci’s reasoning is, isn’t surprised.

“It’s so on par with their whole message,” he says. “The collective.”

“The individual doesn’t really matter, you know. So the collective is made of a bunch of individuals, and the virus attacks the individual, right. And if the mask doesn’t work for the individual, it won’t work for the collective,” he continues.

Gonzales notes that despite the plethora of information now available, like the study the CNN host brought up, people are still beginning to wear masks again.

“I have seen people start wearing masks again in public. I automatically judge you. I am judging you,” she says, adding,

“Like you’re really, you are really going to do this again.”

January 6 protester gets 17 years in PRISON while violent BLM rioters walk away unscathed



When someone is sentenced to 17 years in prison, naturally you assume they must have committed some violent atrocity.

But when it comes to Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs, that’s far from the case.

Yesterday Biggs was sentenced to seventeen years behind bars “for seditious conspiracy on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol.”

What exactly did Biggs do that day? Murder someone? Assault police officers? Incite mass violence?

Far from it.

Sara Gonzales plays a clip showing Biggs pulling down a piece of temporary fencing and then videoing himself afterward with his friends celebrating the feat as “a day in infamy.”

“To be clear, all of that was wrong,” says Sara, “and he should have been charged with something and held accountable, but seditious conspiracy?”

“According to the United States Code, here is the definition of seditious conspiracy: if two or more persons in any state or territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspired to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States or by force to seize, take or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be defined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”

“This is what Joe Biggs did: he didn't touch anything in the Capitol, he didn't break anything in the Capitol, he didn't steal anything in the Capitol; he used the bathroom, washed his hands, found a police officer, asked him how the hell do I get out of here, and left after the cop showed him the way out,” recounts Sara.

“I'd be willing to take this more seriously if the government had shown any of this law-and-order energy for any of the Black Lives Matters protesters burning down cities, burning down cop cars, looting Louis Vuittons. Not only did they not get sentenced severely, they just got their charges dropped – like poof, nothing ever happened,” she rants.

“But if you're a white conservative who's ever worn a red hat in your life, they want you to know that if they want to manipulate the law to throw you in jail for as long as they want, that’s exactly what they will do.”

“They're making an example – it's the scare tactic,” says Jaco Booyens.

“They own the mechanism to define those words and also the enforcement of it; we're just completely on the back foot,” adds John Doyle.

This is the most EPIC takedown of climate activists you’ve EVER seen



Climate change activists aren’t exactly known for their logic. Many of them seem to think lying in front of cars, gluing themselves to various objects, and vandalizing art will magically tip the scale toward a greener future.

That was certainly the mentality the “Seven Circles,” an anti-capitalist climate activist group, had at this year’s Burning Man festival in Nevada.

The group set up in the middle of the road leading to the festival, refusing to let traffic pass, but little did they know, they were in for what Sara Gonzales calls “the greatest takedown [she] can remember.”

Sara plays the video of rangers plowing over the group’s signs and trailer with their truck before forcing every member to lie on the ground. One woman refuses to comply and is yanked to the ground by an officer.

Another group member can be heard shrieking, “We’re not violent!” in the background, as their entire setup is obliterated.

“If you are blocking my right to travel freely, that is an act of aggression; that is not peaceful,” says Sara, who is reveling in the epic takedown.

“You've convinced literally zero people – nobody has been convinced by any of [this] stupid sh**,” she rails.
