The 11-year-old joined her famous mom onstage at the grand reveal of the Atlantis the Royal hotel on January 21 where they gave the live performance debut of their song “Brown Skin Girl.” Blue Ivy featured on the song from Beyoncé’s album The Lion King: The Gift, the soundtrack to the 2019 live action-remake of the classic Disney animated film. In the video shared online by fans, Blue Ivy can be seen doing choreography while standing next to Beyoncé who is wearing an elaborate yellow dress with a huge train and feathered back piece....

The Biceps Tendon The biceps muscle is attached at both the top and the bottom to the bone through structures called tendons. The muscle itself is thick, contractile tissue that allows the body to pull with force. The tendons, on the other hand, are very strong, but small and noncontractile structures that connect the muscle to the bone. There are tendons at the top of the biceps muscle and at the bottom of the biceps muscle....

Biden and top Democratic lawmakers have reignited a push to increase the federal minimum wage for the first time in 12 years, promoting legislation that aims to pull 28 million full-time workers out of poverty by 2024. Biden said Friday he will not accept any “ifs, ands or buts” from Republicans who are dragging their feet on passage of the next stimulus relief package. Incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman Bernie Sanders said he’s prepared to jam a $15-minimum-wage measure through with the Democrats’ current 51-vote majority as soon as possible....

With the release of the Biden administration’s related National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism in June of 2021, I suggested that, given its stated effort to combat the claimed most lethal threat to the homeland of white supremacists through anti-racist “equity,” applied critical race theory would become our domestic counterterrorism policy. Now, with the publication of the administration’s government-wide series of “equity action plans,” in response to its first-day executive order, the Biden regime has further vindicated that view—one that, if anything, undersold the size, scope and ambition of the regime’s effort to remake the U....

When survey respondents were asked to rank nine traits in terms of importance for their next presidential candidate, Democrats ranked “bringing the country together” as the most important and “fights for the people they represent” as the second most important. Republicans also ranked “fights for the people they represent” as the second most important quality, but put “bringing the country together” at fourth place. They ranked standing up for “the freedom and dignity of all Americans” as the most important trait....

“The opening was strong, but most of the speech was a typical, boring SOTU laundry list,” Jean Card, a GOP consultant and speechwriter in former President George W. Bush’s administration, told Newsweek. “Imagine how powerful this speech would have been if it had only been 15 minutes long—ten on Ukraine, five on the need for us to unite as a country.” Biden spent a good portion of his speech sending a message to the world about America’s commitment to Ukraine....

The Biden administration recently proposed changes to Title IX that would give males who identify as females access to female-specific opportunities, like women’s sports. We don’t have to speculate about how this will impact female athletes. We’ve seen it happen in Connecticut under a similar policy, and the consequences are devastating. Starting in 2017, two male athletes began competing in Connecticut girls’ high school track. In just three years, these two males broke 17 girls’ track meet records, deprived girls of more than 85 opportunities to advance to the next level of competition, and took 15 women’s state track championship titles....

The confirmation process for Becerra, a former congressman and the current attorney general of California, has crawled along, with the Senate finance committee splitting 14-14 along party lines Wednesday on whether to advance him out of committee. That means Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will now have to bring Becerra’s nomination up for the full Senate vote, which Democrats hope could be as soon as next week. When Biden’s nominations were announced, Becerra stood out as a priority given the coronavirus outbreak that has now killed more than 520,000 Americans, but that was before the number of unaccompanied children and families arriving at the border swelled....

Psaki’s comments came during the daily White House press briefing, just one day after the Biden administration issued a blistering statement against Manchin’s choice to vote against the bill, which, without explicitly stating so, alluded to Manchin as a liar. Asked where the administration stood with regards to Manchin going forward, the press secretary reiterated that the statement issued on Sunday spoke for itself. “The lengthy statement … outlined pretty specifically the events of the last few weeks,” Psaki said....

Biden made the remark during a virtual call with Jewish leaders ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday next week. The president raised concerns about antisemitism and hatred toward minority groups, and then mentioned a supposed visit to the Tree of Life synagogue. “I remember spending time at the—you know, going to the—you know, the Tree of Life Synagogue, speaking with the—just—it just is amazing these things are happening—happening in America,” the president said....

With Biden vying to flip the state, 46 percent of those polled said they would vote for him, only 2 percent less than the 48 percent planning to back Trump. The Progress Texas/PPP polling was conducted June 18 to 19 among 907 Texas voters, contacted over phone call and text message. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 points. Biden previously indicated his focus on the state at the Texas Democratic Party state convention, which was held online due to the pandemic, where he said: “Texas is an important battleground state for our campaign in 2020....

The CBS News/YouGov poll revealed that 26 percent of Americans believe Biden is doing a “very good” job at managing the pandemic while another 40 percent think he is doing a “somewhat good” job at it. Only 34 percent disapprove of the COVID-19 response, with 18 percent calling it “very bad” on Biden’s part. People said the country as a whole is doing a better job now at getting the coronavirus under control than efforts in January of this year....

Biden signed an order on his second day in the presidential office instructing FEMA to provide 100 percent reimbursement to states, tribes, and territories through September 2021 for emergency costs related to the pandemic. After two earlier extensions, this latest move will now provide the reimbursements through July 1. After the Omicron variant-driven surge peaked in January, the U.S. has seen a gradual decrease in infection rates and an easing of some restrictions throughout the country....

As the world’s preeminent financial power, the United States has a responsibility to work to deny Iran the financial resources it needs to build a nuclear program, develop ballistic missiles and support terrorism and terrorist proxies. Sanctions generally aim to change behavior or deny the enemy something it wants for nefarious purposes. This economic and foreign policy tool is uniquely powerful for us, due to the importance of the dollar and the U....

Biden must engage in bold, top-level diplomacy with North Korea, while at the same time outdoing Trump by empowering a parallel bottom-up approach and coordinating closely with South Korea if the new administration hopes to achieve progress toward peace on the peninsula, the experts said. “There’s an opportunity here,” Philip Yun, a former presidentially appointed State Department official who now serves as president and CEO of the World Affairs think tank, told Newsweek....

The executive orders, some long-promised, center on constituting a family reunification task force for families separated by the Trump administration, that will work with representatives of impacted families and partners across the hemisphere to find separated families, while offering recommendations to President Joe Biden and federal agencies on steps they can take to reunify families. The orders also call for a review of the so-called Remain in Mexico policy that stranded asylum seekers, raise the refugee cap, and include policies that represent an about-face toward migration from Latin America....

Steven Cliff has been serving as the agency’s deputy administrator since February. However, he could be its first real leader since 2016. While speaking at his confirmation hearing for his official appointment, he reiterated his commitment to reducing the staggering amount of car crashes that have occurred over the past year. “I am committed to turning this around,” he said of the trend. Cliff added that the United States has to “change a culture that accepts the loss of tens of thousands of people in roadway crashes as inevitable....

In a statement released Saturday, Biden said the threat of another attack at the airport in the next 24 to 36 hours remains “highly likely” and that he has directed commanders to take every measure to prioritize the safety of U.S. troops “They assured me that they did, and that they could take these measures while completing the mission and safely retrograding our personnel,” he said in the statement....

The U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan collapsed last weekend as the Taliban regained control of the country two weeks before the U.S. planned to complete its full withdrawal of forces from the country. As a result, the U.S. has rushed to quickly evacuate Americans remaining in the country, as well as thousands of Afghans that worked with the U.S. and its allies during the two decades of war. Biden and his administration have received substantial criticism for failing to anticipate the swift Taliban takeover, and for not better preparing to evacuate Americans and Afghans who supported the U....

A Gallup poll released Tuesday found wide support on both sides of the aisle for “allowing up to 100,000” Ukrainian refugees into the U.S.—the highest level of American support for admitting refugees that pollsters have recorded. More than sixty percent of Republicans said they would support the policy—the highest acceptance rate from Republicans since the Kosovo war in 1999, when 65 percent supported admitting several hundred ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo....
