The company has ended the ability to cast video directly from your phone to a bigger TV screen, a move many frustrated Netflix users claim came without any warning last month.

Casting is a handy way of sharing movies or shows with friends and family, or just enjoying a better view than on a small mobile device...

A spokesperson for Walz said the letter was being reviewed. "We take safety on our roads seriously, and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety has already worked to ensure we are in compliance with federal law," the spokesperson said...

It’s election season in the state of Texas, and Governor Greg Abbott (R) is kicking it off by getting tough on the issues that Texans care about — but BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t buying it. “Greg Abbott’s policy is basically shaped by licking his finger and putting it up in the air to determine which direction the wind is blowing, and then making the most politically advantageous call to him that he thinks he could make in that time,” Gonzales says, pointing out that he’s historically been soft on the Islamification of Texas. But now, he’s publicly taking a stand against it...
