Not sure what Ghostery is, but I am using Chrome as a browser, and I do have DuckDuckGo installed as a search engine (and separately, I think, as a browser). DDG has caused a lot of problems like this, so I wouldn't be surprised. I am THIS close to just abandoning it entirely, from my phone, to the desktop and laptops.
Ghostery is a privacy extension. It'll do things like prevent things like websites tracking your web surfing by blocking them from loading on other sites (thus, by preventing tweets from showing up on other websites, twitter won't be able to track your surfing on other websites). Ad blockers can produce a similar effect at times.

I don't think having duckduckgo as your default search engine would cause this result.

It’s being reported now that the alleged Pelosi laptop thief is custody.

I haven’t seen anything on the status of the laptop.

A Justice Department spokeswoman told CNN on Monday that Williams had surrendered to authorities.

Williams is not accused of theft. She is only charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct, and entering the restricted space of the Capitol, the same charges faced by many who took part in the siege that day.

To get a little technical, the process of radicalization often creates a black/white view of the world which can cause them to leave their loved ones behind. Those loved ones may not be too happy with them or worry that they'll get into more trouble.

That's censorship. That's the socialist acts of all of these radicalized activist liberal extremist corporate interests. That's the un-american partisan acts during a time when we need healing as a nation. That's a violent attack on a patriot and will only serve as a call to action for these long silenced frustrated Americans without a voice.

You might want to sit down, but apparently Giuliani used a provisional ballot to vote in the 2020 election:
Giuliani, one of Trump’s staunchest allies, spent months defending the president’s baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, and frequently challenged the use of provisional ballots.

During a now-notorious press conference in November, Giuliani claimed without evidence that voters were given provisional ballots when they showed up to vote after Democrats voted on their behalf.

However, CNN’s investigation found that Giuliani used a provisional ballot to vote in Manhattan when his name did not appear on voter rolls when he went to vote. Records obtained by the news outlet show that his registration was moved to his home in Long Island in August, and his registration in New York City was purged in September.

Since his name didn’t show on the voter rolls, he cast an affidavit ballot swearing he was registered to vote in the district where he voted, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by CNN.
Unreal.

Countdown to Biden inauguration as President:

1 day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Additional details have surfaced regarding Agolf's meeting with the MeinPillow crack whore. Staffers allege that the crack whore poured himself a cup of coffee and Agolf slapped it out of his hand, screaming, "Coffee is for grifters! Don't come in here with that martial law bullshit, get out there and make me some fucking money! Always be grifting!"

Rhetorical question I guess, but how is it that a MAGA PATRIOT can maintain their vision of themselves as a PATRIOT while actively trying to engage in espionage to benefit Russia? Does this somehow fit into the Q worldview? Or is it that they've taken Trump's love of Putin so to heart that acts in service of Putin are the same as acts in service of Trump and therefore, PATRIOT?

It hurts my head.

Trump has been friendly to Putin while Democrats hate him. Therefore, Putin must be good.

Also, the deeper you go into alt-right circles the more popular Russia gets. Putin has all-but-declared that Russia is a white Christian state (in the old Tsarist "national church" sense) and that Europe should follow his lead, so American white nationalists see him as a natural ally.

Fun. Just got a PIN (Private Industry Notification) from the FBI saying there is 'Potential for Malicious Cyber Activities to Disrupt the Presidential Inauguration, Including Media Broadcasting Environments and Emergency Services'. They stress they don't have a specific threat identified but essentially said Media Companies/Service Providers get your Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plans out and be prepared. What a time to be alive.

Note: PINs are non-classified flash bulletins for urgent communications with the private sector meant to communicate risk, threats and increase vigilance against disruptive events.

Well I know that President Elect Biden wasn’t going to fly coach (and actually he wanted to take an Amtrak train) but instead of the current President offering a military plane to pick him up, Biden is forced to take a private plane to Andrews.Yet another example of the pettiness and classlessness that is Trump.

"Fun" fact. The Amtrak trip was cancelled only after this craziness began. The last time a train trip to the inauguration was cancelled for security concerns was...1861.

I'm retitling this article from 'Biden team snubs outgoing Pentagon chief in transition spat' to 'Biden team plays hardball with unvetted, unqualified, and ultimately untrustworthy Acting Secretary of Defense who just recently delayed sending national guard troops to an insurrection'. But that is a bit of a long title.
President-elect Joe Biden’s team denied Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller’s request for transition space at the Pentagon after he leaves office on Wednesday, a courtesy normally extended at the Defense Department.

The Biden transition told Miller’s team that it had denied his request for transition office space for himself and a handful of aides, in a reversal from past practice, according to a senior Defense Department official.


Outgoing secretaries typically get office space at the Pentagon for several weeks to handle any final tasks that remain undone by Inauguration Day.

Biden’s team didn’t give a reason for the denial, though the official said Miller’s team believed it was payback over the contention by Biden and his staff that the Trump administration sought to delay and obstruct the transition at the Defense Department. Early in January, incoming White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the transition team was encountering “intransigence” in the department and Office of Management and Budget, as well as “other places that we’ve had ongoing concern.”

Indeed. It's not just payback (though that's deserved) - given who he is an why he was put at the DoD, I think there's plenty of reason to expect that anything that the guy is going to do over the next few weeks is going to be hostile to the Biden administration and to good policy making.
