The location of a highly anticipated women's volleyball match between San Jose State and the University of Nevada scheduled for Saturday in Reno has been moved to San Jose as the schools prepare for a forfeit over an SJSU transgender player. "The decision to move the location of the match has been made in the best interest of both programs and the well-being of the student-athletes, coaches, athletic staff and spectators. The decision has been made with the approval of the Mountain West Conference," the Nevada Wolf Pack said on its website. Nevada's captain, Sia LiiLii, told Blaze News in an exclusive interview that observers will 'just have to see' if the team decides to protest on the court or simply not show up.

An OutKick report said the Mountain West Conference previously indicated that SJSU would need to travel to Reno in order to accept a potential forfeit from Nevada. But sources confirmed to Blaze News that because Nevada players intend to go through with the forfeit, that ultimately cemented the joint decision by both schools to move the game to California so that SJSU could receive the forfeit-victory without traveling. Whether Nevada plans to step foot on the SJSU campus remains to be seen, as it's unclear whether Nevada Athletics will field a team after stating the players' decision to forfeit was "made independently, and without consultation with the University or the athletic department." Nevada's captain, Sia LiiLii, told Blaze News in an exclusive interview that observers will "just have to see" if the team decides to protest on the court or simply not show up. Several politicians have shown support for the Nevada players, including Tulsi Gabbard and U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.). Gabbard posted a message of encouragement on X. "The courage of the University of Nevada-Reno women's volleyball team to stand up for objective truth by refusing to play against biological males is inspiring others to do the same," Gabbard wrote. She added, "Harris-Biden destroyed Title IX and over 50 years of progress for women and girls. We must stop them by standing with these brave young women for objective truth, common sense and fairness, and make sure our voices are heard in this election." Like Blaze News?

A coalition of more than 40 sheriffs from 18 states released a joint letter addressed to the public on Tuesday, slamming the Biden-Harris administration’s destructive open-border policies for unleashing crime and drug surges in small-town America.In the letter, obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the sheriffs expressed “grave concern for the safety and security of our communities” nationwide, noting that under the current administration, “Every town is a border town.”'The impact is broken families, lost futures, and devastated communities.'“As sheriffs, our first duty is to protect the citizens we serve, but today, we find ourselves confronted by a growing crisis that threatens the very fabric of our country and its sovereignty: open-border policies,” they wrote.The sheriffs blamed the administration for allowing between 10 to 15 million foreign nationals to cross the border illegally, adding that those totals are “more than the individual population of 46 states in our nation.”By refusing to enforce the country’s existing immigration laws, the Biden-Harris administration has “allowed dangerous criminals, human traffickers, and drug cartels” to infiltrate American communities, they contended.“The result is a flood of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, into our cities and towns. The impact is broken families, lost futures, and devastated communities,” the sheriffs continued.The Biden administration, Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, and their Democratic allies have repeatedly insisted that the only way to stop the immigration crisis is for Congress to pass more laws — specifically, the failed so-called "bipartisan" border Senate bill, the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, H.R. 815.However, the coalition of sheriffs appeared to push back on the administration’s false claims that it does not already have the authority to shut down mass illegal immigration.“The President alone can act to fix this crisis. The president can suspend or restrict the entry of noncitizens if it is deemed in the national interest, proclaim a national emergency along the border, and redirect federal funds to construct a border wall. The Biden-Harris Administration has done none of these. And we are seeing the consequences,” they wrote.Sheriffs Rich Stanek of Hennepin County, Minnesota; Chad Leonard of Dallas County, Iowa; Adam Infante of Dallas County, Iowa; and Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, were among those who signed the letter.Sheriff James Custer of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, another signatory, told the DCNF about how the fentanyl crisis has impacted his community.“I’ve seen this trend has been going on over the last three years, the fentanyl crisis, that has come across our southern border. ... Our overdose deaths rose each year,” Custer stated. “Now we are in a slight decline this year, but we have several deaths pending toxicology results.”Sheriff Bob Songer of Klickitat County, Washington, who also signed the sheriffs’ letter, told the DCNF, “Personally, I think both the Biden administration and their administrative staff ought to be charged with treason, they’ve broken this country to where we don’t have a border.”The Biden-Harris administration and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.Like Blaze News?

Vice President Kamala Harris admitted during an interview with MSNBC that she wants mass amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants who have come to the United States during the Biden-Harris administration.Telemundo host Julio Vaqueiro grilled Harris on her plans for addressing the massive issue, a longtime weak spot for Democrats even before the border crisis started when Joe Biden became president."Right now, we're talking about border security, and there's nobody, no Democrat, talking about pathway to citizenship, immigration relief, benefits that migrants bring to this country," Vaqueiro said to Harris."I am. I am talking about it. ... There's no question that ... migrants bring — America is a country that was built in part by immigrants," Harris stammered.When Vaqueiro brought up former President Donald Trump's plan to conduct mass deportations, Harris interjected that she is not proposing that."We need smart, humane immigration policy that includes a pathway to citizenship," Harris continued, adding a need for more "resources in terms of security" at the southern border.U.S. Customs and Border Protection finally released the data for the number of illegal immigrants encountered at the southern border for fiscal year 2024, which ended at the start of October.U.S Border Patrol encountered over 1.5 million illegal immigrants in this recent fiscal year, a slight drop from 2 million in fiscal year 2023. The drop in encounters, while still historically high, is due to the Biden-Harris administration expanding the nation's parole program, typically used on a case-by-case basis, to thousands of people per day. This was an effort to reduce the number of illegal crossings in order to reduce the bad optics of people flooding the border even though the strength of their cases is very much in doubt.Despite those efforts, illegal crossings in areas around Eagle Pass, Texas, are starting to pick up again as illegal immigrants want to enter the country before the presidential election.Like Blaze News?

America is currently standing at a fork in the road. Which path we take will determine our fate as a nation. One path is “we try something entirely new,” as in “not the Constitution,” and the other path is “we go back towards the Constitution,” says Glenn Beck. The stakes for this decision are higher than they’ve ever been. “We're deciding this year whether or not our kids are going to grow up in a country that gives them the opportunity to be themselves and to move forward and chart their own course, or we're going to continue to live in a place where we're not sure if our kids are going to have a better life than we did,” Glenn warns. Regardless of who you vote for, Glenn says that one thing applies to everyone: “You’ve got to get involved this year,” which includes voting. Election Day is rapidly approaching, and it will undoubtedly be a night that goes down in history, which is why BlazeTV will be broadcasting it live. “We’d love to share it with you,” says Glenn.

Battlefield 1 received an update on October 22 that updated the game's anti-cheat and in the process removed any compatibility for the Steam Deck. This isn't the first EA game to adopt an anti-cheat that isn't Linux-friendly, but it's painful nonetheless to see another game disappear from the Steam Deck library. EA is using EA Anti-Cheat (EAAC) in most of its in-house published games now, and the system isn't compatible with the best handheld gaming PC. In fact, it's not compatible with Linux at all, and it's led to a discussion around just how large the Steam Deck user base is if large publishers are happy to remove compatibility without remorse. This also recently happened to GTA 5 on Steam Deck, where an update also added an anti-cheat that is incompatible with Valve's handheld.

Last year, Baldur’s Gate 3 started a CRPG reappraisal. That genre of fantasy adventure fell out of the mainstream quite some time ago, but the colossal success of Larian’s megahit brought it back to the forefront. From Ossian Studios, Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand is poised to capitalize on that success. Built by Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights veterans, the entire game is based on the Pathfinder module of the same name, which itself is a spinoff of DnD. If that sounds like a game you want to play, the team has finally reached its Kickstarter goal.

The Arc Raiders system requirements have been revealed with the first technical playtest taking place on October 24 and lasting four full days. These aren't the final specs, but they do offer a great insight into where the system requirements may sit come the 2025 release date. With technical tests, the listed specs can sometimes be inflated as the game isn't yet completely optimized and developers can often play it safe by selecting more powerful hardware to account for poor performance. This doesn't mean the best graphics card is required, but the Arc Raiders specs shouldn't be taken as final until specified as such by developer Embark Studios.
