Carano was fired from the Disney+ Star Wars TV show after making a series of controversial comments, including comparing herself to being Jewish in Nazi Germany because she was a Republican. The final straw for Disney seemed to be a well-known quote from the Auschwitz museum the actress and former MMA fighter shared to Twitter. Sarandon shared a photo of the quote on Monday and Carano’s supporters called for her to be fired from any current projects....

A decade later, the world can see the fruits of Eisner’s inspiration: the Disney Institute, which opened this month as the latest addition to Disney’s ever-evolving empire of themed resorts in Orlando, Fla. The Disney Institute is an education-themed resort, a Disneyland of the mind. It has no glad-handing Goofys lurching down its paths, no robot hippos lurking in plastic-fronded wallows. Retired couples and young families stroll among the pine-shaded cottages, the porticoed studios and halls, seeking sustenance for the intellect and spirit in programs such as ....

One center of private concerns with America’s Iraq strategy is the Defense Policy Board, a collection of outside experts–mostly heavyweight conservatives–who regularly consult with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Disquiet in this quarter is particularly significant, since the DPB pushed from the outset for the invasion of Iraq. Last week one of the more colorful and outspoken members of the group, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, went public with his worries and ideas in an interview with NEWSWEEK....

The blaze scorched most of Greenville, in Plumas County, between Wednesday and Thursday last week. Dry vegetation and heavy winds have aided the fire in ravaging 370 homes and threatening almost 14,000 more in the region. The fire eclipsed the previous record holder from 2020, the Creek Fire in Central Valley, to become the largest single documented fire in state history. The August Complex, a string of fires sparked by lightning across multiple California counties in 2020, is still considered by state officials to be the largest overall wildfire the state has seen, AP reported....

Djukanovic has reason to be concerned. Last Sunday’s local elections in Montenegro were the leader’s first real political test since he broke from Serbia, Montenegro’s larger partner in the rump Yugoslav federation, in 1997. Djukanovic’s party was expected to win the vote, a victory that should embolden him to move closer to the West and to his ultimate goal of independence. But it’s a dangerous game. The regime in Belgrade is unlikely to let Montenegro slip away unchallenged, and it has 20,000 Serb troops on Montenegrin soil to enforce its will....

DNC members voted down a resolution which would have allowed 2020 presidential candidates to attend debates devoted to one specific topic, a piece of language which was inserted by climate change activists at a controversial Resolutions Committee last Thursday. As it stands, the Democratic Party presidential candidates are not allowed to appear together on stage outside of official DNC-sanctioned debates. A 222-137 DNC vote overseen by Chairman Tom Perez defeated the Thursday resolution which called for a standalone Climate Crisis debate....

So, why would the Broncos’ Super Bowl betting odds improve so much in the wake of the draft without the team making a massive upgrade at the quarterback spot? According to The Denver Post, the Broncos went from having the 24th-best odds to win the Super Bowl at +6,600 (a $100 bet nets $6,600) to the ninth-best chance to take home a title at +2,200. Those odds are similar to what some other books have moved their Broncos odds to as well....

The Browns (9-3) hold an edge on Baltimore (7-5) in the AFC North entering the showdown, which will be Jackson’s second game back from the COVID-19/reserve list. The Ravens will need Jackson to be sharp to string wins together down the stretch in the hopes of squeaking into the playoffs in a competitive AFC wild card race. Here’s more to know about when the Ravens will be playing in Week 14, along with a look at the entire Week 14 NFL schedule....

In a conversation with CNN on Friday morning, Fauci—director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a prominent authority on the coronavirus pandemic—said that Brad Pitt should play him on the iconic sketch-comedy show. To be fair, this wasn’t unprompted. First, Fauci was asked what were the chances of SNL crafting a fictionalized version of him for its show this weekend. He had “no idea,” he said while laughing, before adding, “I hope not....

The doctor is employed at Ramat Gan’s Sheba Medical Center, the largest hospital in Israel and the nation’s first to confirm COVID-19 infections among patients in late February. News outlets that first reported the doctor’s second positive test result did not disclose her identity, nor did Sheba Medical Center. In comments to Newsweek, the hospital confirmed a health care professional on staff initially tested positive for COVID-19 in April during the height of the pandemic....

In a statement sent to Newsweek, an ICE spokesperson said the incident unfolded on Thursday morning during a “fugitive operations” mission in Brooklyn. The spokesperson said agents were “physically attacked while attempting to arrest” Gaspar Avendano-Hernandez, who is believed to be the boyfriend of the 26-year-old’s mother, according to reporting from NBC. Describing Avendano-Hernandez as a “twice-removed illegal alien from Mexico with a 2011 assault conviction in New York City, the spokesperson said he had been arrested by the New York Police Department on Monday for “possession of a forged instrument, a felony criminal charge....

In a statement shared with Newsweek, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said it had been forced to to close its Lesbos clinic, warning that the closure could “have terrible implications” should an outbreak occur at the Moria refugee camp, where more than 15,000 migrants, asylum seekers and refugees are now estimated to be living. The MSF COVID-19 isolation center had opened up on May 6 and had initially received the support of public officials and the local hospital in Lesbos....

The rangefinders, which were used to mark where outfielders should be, were only used before the game and not during the game, which the league said was allowed. MORE: Most memorable baseball brawls since 1976 If the devices had been used during the game, the Dodgers would have violated MLB’s electronics rule. However, the Mets were not pleased about the use of the rangefinders and contacted the league after they found out the Dodgers used them at Citi Field....

Chelsea become Conte’s blazing inferno Is that truly the case, though? Jordan Henderson certainly doesn’t think so. “A lot of the pundits and press up will big up that we’re conceding too many goals, but in terms of the team, when you’re actually in a game, I feel as though we’re dominating and teams aren’t getting many chances,” the captain argued. “We’re definitely going in the right direction.” Liverpool has conceded 13 goals after 10 league games, five of them let in during the opening two matches as the team found its footing....
