Justice Department antitrust officials are gearing up to ask a judge to compel Google to divest its Chrome browser, signaling a significant intervention against one of the tech sector’s giants. This move follows a ruling in August by the judge that Google had unlawfully monopolized the search market. According to insiders, and as reported by Bloomberg, the department is also seeking further remedies concerning Google’s artificial intelligence and Android smartphone operating system. Additionally, together with several states, they are recommending that Judge Amit Mehta, who presided over the case, implement data licensing requirements. These proposals are said to be presented to Judge Mehta on Wednesday. The legal efforts, which began during the first Trump administration and have continued under President Joe Biden, represent the most forceful action to curb a tech giant since the failed attempt to dismantle Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. The officials argue that the widespread use of Chrome, the world’s leading web browser, is pivotal for Google’s advertising business. This is because it allows the company to gather data from users who are logged in, thereby enhancing the targeting of advertisements which are the main source of its revenue. Moreover, Google has utilized Chrome to steer users towards Gemini, its flagship AI product, enhancing its capabilities from merely providing answers to becoming a comprehensive web assistant. The Justice Department declined to offer any comments on the matter. The idea to divest Chrome is predicated on its function as a principal conduit for Google’s search engine, controlling about 61% of the market in the US. According to Bloomberg, the antitrust officials considered but ultimately rejected a more drastic measure that would have required Google to also sell off its Android system. Over the past quarter, government attorneys have been in discussions with numerous companies as they developed their recommendations. While some state proposals are still under deliberation and details may change, a forced divestiture could depend on finding a suitable buyer. In other aspects of the case, the enforcers plan to recommend that Google license out the data and results from its dominant search engine and allow more flexibility for websites to shield their content from being exploited by Google’s AI tools.

Donald Trump’s victory made one thing crystal clear: Generation X is sick and tired of the left, and Gavin McInnes of “Get Off My Lawn” has some suspicions as to why that is. “We had ‘Caddy Shack’ and we had ‘Blazing Saddles,’ so we remember when things were fun and funny. I think, unfortunately, Millennials didn’t experience that kind of no-holds-barred language,” McInnes tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “We played their game of being politically correct and watching what we say, and it was really un-fun, and it sucked. And now we have Trump’s DA or Trump’s lawyer saying, ‘Hey Tish, we’re going to put your fat a** in jail,’” he says, adding, “It makes me feel at home. I’m no longer homesick for the glory days of comedy.” And the past four years of being shackled by made-up woke rules have only led more Americans to feel the same way. “I think that having four years of Biden was the best thing that could possibly happen to us as MAGA extremists, because it did two things. It showed America what life is going to be like under this bureaucracy, this Marxist war on meritocracy. So they saw how bad things can get when the Kamala camp is in charge,” McInnes explains. “And it gave Trump a chance to sort of regroup and realize that hiring neocons like John Bolton, hiring trans lovers like General Milley, hiring his son-in-law and his daughter, he was screwing up. It was a real learning curve those first four years,” he continues, noting that this is why the break was so good for him. Not only has the Biden-Harris administration gotten weaker as Trump has grown stronger, but the mainstream media has started to fall apart as alternative media has become the source many Americans trust instead for their information. “I think you’re going to see the Blaze, Daily Wire, even weird outcasts like Censored.TV become numbers-wise the mainstream. I mean, we see that with Joe Rogan and his podcast. He’s supposed to be the outcast and he’s getting millions, tens of millions more eyeballs than MSM,” McInnes says. “Hard times create strong men,” he says, adding, “They’ve hammered us so hard, that we’re just stronger and better.” Want more from 'Blaze News Tonight'?To enjoy more provocative opinions, expert analysis, and breaking stories you won’t see anywhere else, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Critics of Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York called her out for scrubbing her preferred pronouns from her profile, but she is denying any political motivation for the decision. Among those who pointed out the change was the popular Libs of TikTok account, which posted a screenshot of her account with the "she/her" designation and a later screenshot without them. 'The whole "story" of removing pronouns after the election is fake.' Some took it to mean that Ocasio-Cortez was quietly pulling back from supporting the extremist LGBTQ+ agenda after the disastrous election results. Others mocked her for appearing to betray the cause. On Saturday, she denied the allegations in a post on social media and offered another explanation. "The whole 'story' of removing pronouns after the election is fake. It happened a long time ago after the SCOTUS Twitter ruling meant I had to add the 'personal acct' disclosure," Ocasio-Cortez wrote."There weren’t enough chars so I had to swap the end. You can run the timeline to see for yourself," she added. The controversy only further highlighted recent criticism from the left that Ocasio-Cortez was slowly moving away from the far left and trying to join the centrist establishment of the party in order to seek more power and influence. In October, the Democratic Socialists of America said they were planning to vote on censuring her because she hadn't been sufficiently anti-Israel in her congressional voting record. Some have also blamed the spectacular loss for the Democrats in the election on transgender issues that peeled away support from moderate and centrist voters. Like Blaze News?

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Monday that Democrats could not count ballots that were undated or misdated in their recount for one of the state's U.S. Senate seats. Sen. Bob Casey, the Democratic incumbent, refused to concede the election and pressed for a recount despite numerous news outlets declaring Republican challenger Dave McCormick the winner. The official margin of victory narrowly falls within the 0.5% cutoff for a recount, though many have called on Casey to concede to save taxpayers money and based on the long-shot odds of a challenge. 'The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rightfully struck down the flagrantly lawless campaign by Bob Casey and his scumbag lawyer, Marc Elias, to undermine the will of the voters and steal a Senate seat.'"Senator-Elect McCormick's lead is insurmountable, which the AP made clear," said McCormick's communications director, Elizabeth Gregory. "A recount will be a waste of time & taxpayer money, but it is Casey's prerogative. McCormick knows what it's like to lose an election & is sure Senator Casey will eventually reach the right conclusion."Critics were even more outraged when Democratic officials in some counties began counting undated or misdated ballots in their recount, an apparent violation of Pennsylvania election law. The court quoted a 2023 election law in its decision. "The Election Code commands absentee and mail-in electors to date the declaration that appears upon ballot return envelopes, and failure to comply with that command renders a ballot invalid as a matter of Pennsylvania law," the section read. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley denounced Democrats after the ruling. "Following our latest RNC lawsuit, today the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled yet again that undated ballots CANNOT BE COUNTED. No more excuses. Election officials in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and other counties have absolutely no choice but to reject illegal ballots," wrote Whatley on X. "We will hold them to it. Protect The Vote!" he concluded. The National Committee of Senate Republicans was far more acerbic in its fiery response. "The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rightfully struck down the flagrantly lawless campaign by Bob Casey and his scumbag lawyer, Marc Elias, to undermine the will of the voters and steal a Senate seat weeks after the election was called," the organization wrote on social media. "[Pennsylvania Gov.] Josh Shapiro, [Sen.] John Fetterman, and national Democrats must call on Casey to concede and stop undermining faith in our elections."Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia, one of the commissioners who reportedly voted to continue counting the ballots, did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.Republicans elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota on Wednesday as their majority leader when they take control of the Senate in January. Like Blaze News?

While it's certainly had its issues, Vessel of Hatred has mostly gone over well with Diablo 4 players - the new Spiritborn class is a popular and powerful new addition, and the swathe of gameplay additions and improvements that arrived alongside it have strengthened its position as an excellent ARPG. Diablo 4’s sixth season, Season of Hatred Rising, also dropped alongside it, but all of its offerings could be enjoyed by everyone, with or without the DLC. However, it sounds like it's not going to stay that way, as Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson has revealed that future seasons will bring “exclusive” content to those that own Vessel of Hatred.
