Failed to Verify Authentication

Hello there! I am using this as a last attempt to try and figure out why I am unable to log into any servers on Java!  I am using MacOS to play Minecraft and have done so on my computer for 3~ years.

I have tried looking into host files via youtube video instruction on clearing lines that have anything related to mojang in them, I have restarted my router multiple times, turned on and off my laptop multiple times, logged in and out of my account and tried everything I could think of.

The message I am receiving is as follows from the Game Output Logs:
