“This is a painful and crucial moment for all of us who are Jews and who love Israel, and it’s not a time to stay silent,” declared Ari Emanuel, the CEO of sports and entertainment company Endeavor and one of Hollywood’s most outspoken voices in the fight against antisemitism, in a fiery speech as he accepted the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s highest honor, the Humanitarian Award, at the organization’s National Tribute Gala fundraiser Wednesday evening. Emanuel, who is Jewish, then went on to slam, at length, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his handling of the Israel-Gaza war. Many attendees applauded, but dozens of others stormed out of the room in fury, and others still booed, as Emanuel opined: “For the good of Israel, he should go.”

The US could become a place where Covid-19 transforms into a situation where we “learn to live with it,” according to a former member of President Biden’s coronavirus task force.
Speaking on NBC’s Meet The Press today, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel cited vaccines, new treatments, and other mitigation measures that he claims will help make the coronavirus more manageable and akin to the flu. Emanuel’s comments echo those of other government officials and medical personnel, who appear to be moving away from scare tactics on case loads and toward acknowleding that deaths are flat and hospitalizations won’t face a doomsday scenario.
“We think that over the course of 2022, we will get to an endemic stage, and the plan is — or the proposal is — we need a strategic plan for that, that covers vaccines, getting more people vaccinated, and the only way to do that, as we’ve been very clear over time,...

As the White House unveiled a set of guidelines for states to determine if they can start reopening their economies, a question is just how possible it will be for major sporting events to resume.
At the daily coronavirus briefing, President Donald Trump suggested that the guidelines make it possible to resume major sporting events soon.
He told reporters that “many of them will be starting without the fans, so it will be made for television, the good old days, made for television. And it will go that way, and maybe the fans will start coming in. Maybe they will be separated by two seats. and then ultimately...

Beauty and brains: Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly has both. The blonde beauty has proven over the past decade that she's smart, well-educated about the issues she tackles on her shows, and won't give up when a guest tries to evade a line of questioning they don't particularly enjoy.
In honor of "The Kelly File" host's 43rd birthday on Nov. 18, here are three of her most tenacious moments.
Kelly's most famous moment -- or at least her most badass one -- came during the 2012 presidential election. She informed Karl Rove that Fox analysts had called Ohio for President Obama, confirming his reelection, but Rove continued to protest. Instead of letting Rove continue to ignore the facts, she called him out, saying, "Is this just math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better, or is this real?"
