Not only have the dynamics of the U.S.-Republic of Korea alliance dramatically improved , but the Moon Jae-in government believes Washington will come up with a realistic North Korea policy it can live with. The Moon government indeed has welcomed the Biden administration’s focus on working with allies, making use of diplomacy and using multilateralism. But for Seoul, the real proof of improved U.S.-South Korea relations will be in the North Korea “pudding.” Moon has one year remaining in office, before he will be replaced by a new president following elections scheduled for March 2022.

‘I still can’t put it into words’: Stephanie Travers on the ‘surreal’ moment she became the first Black woman on an F1 podium
(CNN) As Lewis Hamilton celebrated his victory at last season's Styrian Grand Prix , a member of the Mercedes team grabbed Stephanie Travers and told her she was wanted for the podium ceremony. "My first reaction was: 'Are you sure? I don't think you've got the right person -- it's not me!'" she recalls. "But it all happened so quickly and before I knew it, I was walking up onto the podium." As is customary, Mercedes chooses a team member to go up and collect the Constructors' trophy on behalf of them and Petronas, Mercedes' fuel partner, after each race win. It was a poignant moment for Travers -- a trackside fluid engineer -- to be selected, as she became the first Black woman in history to stand on a Formula One podium. "I still can't put it into words for you," she tells CNN's Amanda Davies. "It was such a surreal moment for myself and a momentous occasion for myself and my family. I didn't have time to inform my family beforehand, but my … [Read more...] about ‘I still can’t put it into words’: Stephanie Travers on the ‘surreal’ moment she became the first Black woman on an F1 podium
Biden order could change how colleges handle sex misconduct
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to sign an executive order on Monday directing the Department of Education to review policies implemented by Donald Trump’s administration, including changes to Title IX regulations that prohibit sex discrimination in federally funded institutions, according to administration officials. Biden focused on gender equity during his campaign and promised to strengthen Title IX if he won the White House. He also will sign a second executive order formally establishing the White House Gender Policy Council, according to two administration officials who briefed reporters on the plan. Biden’s transition team announced his plans to create the council before he took office. The order directing the review of Title IX could pave the way to a major shift in how colleges handle allegations of sexual misconduct moving forward. Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, in 2018 rescinded an Obama-era administration standard in cases of reported sexual … [Read more...] about Biden order could change how colleges handle sex misconduct
Sen. Marco Rubio: Biden nominee Wendy Sherman for deputy secretary of state? No way. Here’s why
close Video Biden rescinds Trump's ban on funding for overseas abortions Former NFL player Ben Watson expresses disappointment with the reverse of anti-abortion policy and previews his address to the March for Life on 'Fox & Friends.' Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who served as President Obama's under secretary of state for political affairs from 2011 to 2015, is not qualified to serve as our next deputy secretary of state . Sherman's appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday made this abundantly clear. In her confirmation hearings, the ambassador dodged substantive questions on her role in failed foreign policies, including the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that she helped negotiate. This alone should be disqualifying, but for anyone familiar with her past work, there is another enormous reason for concern: Sherman’s radical position on abortion . JAMES CARAFANO: BIDEN VS. IRAN – CAN PRESIDENT AVOID … [Read more...] about Sen. Marco Rubio: Biden nominee Wendy Sherman for deputy secretary of state? No way. Here’s why
