Welcome back to another episode of The Haute Guide! In this episode, I'm diving deep into the 2025 Met Gala, unpacking this year's compelling theme: "Superfine", inspired by Monica Miller's exploration of Black dandyism. Join me as I candidly break down the hits, misses, and everything in between on fashion's biggest night.

Reflections on how the fashion industry at large missed a prime opportunity to truly honor and elevate Black culture, creativity, and historical significance. Plus, I'm sharing a heartfelt update about my recent health journey, why I've been away from fashion events, and how this Met Gala reignited my passion and purpose. Key Moments: Best Dressed Spotlight: Janelle Monae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Tessa Thompson, Ava DuVernay, Kerry Washington.

It's Wednesday, January 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Indian Christian suffers miscarriage when extremists strangle her Sadly, a Christian woman in central India suffered a miscarriage earlier this month after tribal relatives beat and strangled her. Kunika Kashyap was about six weeks pregnant. She was visiting another Christian who was sick. The local tribal leader believed she would pray for the sick person and began videoing to capture evidence of a perceived crime. The leader, along with his wife and daughter, then assaulted Kunika. Her husband said, “It was only God's doing that enabled her to escape from three people continuously beating her from all sides.” Local Christians told Morning Star News, “We have been facing strong opposition for the past few years from the tribal village headman and the villagers.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in India. According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump withdraws from pro-abortion World Health Organization President Donald Trump signed over 200 executive actions on Monday after beginning his second term as president. Calling it a “big one,” Trump signed an executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the World Health Organization. Trump ordered the withdrawal over the group's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. And LifeNews notes that the World Health Organization spends over 10% of its budget promoting abortion. Trump also signed an executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. LifeSiteNews.com notes that the climate agreement supports abortion as a way to supposedly fight “climate change.” Trump to reinstate soldiers who lost jobs over COVID shot On his first day back in office, President Trump also promised to reinstate thousands of military members who lost their positions for refusing to get the COVID-19 shot. TRUMP: “This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pay.” (applause) The military expelled about 8,400 troops who objected to the shot. This included many who objected for religious reasons. Trump's Border Czar open to pause legal immigration In an interview with Rob Finnerty on NewsMax, Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan vowed to go after criminal illegals first, reports Real Clear Politics. HOMAN: “President Trump and myself have been very clear. We're going to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats right out of the gate. That's our priority. We're going to go for the worst first. And I find it hard to believe any elected official doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities. I would think that's your number one responsibility is protecting your community.” FINNERTY: “So, would you move to prosecute any governor that stands in your way and harbors illegal aliens?” HOMAN: “Well, I would ask the Department of Justice to, I mean, I'm not a prosecutor. I'm a border czar. But when I was an agent, many years ago, I've arrested U.S. citizens for harboring and concealing. So, if I'm going to arrest U.S. citizens for violating those statutes, if would be something DOJ would decide, but I'd be pressing for it. Absolutely!” FINNERTY: “We've had between 12 and 15 million illegals cross in the last four years. Do we need immigration at this point, legal or illegal? Do we need to just pause immigration for a little while until we can get this under control?” HOMAN: “Look, I think it's the biggest national security vulnerability I've seen in this nation. And then we've got over 2 million known got-aways. We don't know where they came from, why they came here. They weren't arrested; they weren't vetted. We know we got 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch list being apprehended at our borders. So yeah, I think we need to shut the border down. We need to get control the border. We can't keep bailing out buckets of water. We got to plug the hole first.” Former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards died Former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards died Monday of brain cancer at age 67, leaving behind the largest abortion chain in the nation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Richards headed Planned Parenthood from 2006 to 2018 and remained active in pro-abortion activism afterward. The daughter of Texas' last Democratic governor, the late Ann Richards, she revealed last January she had been diagnosed with incurable glioblastoma, a highly aggressive form of cancer with a survival length between just 12 and 18 months and an adult survival rate of just 17 percent two years after diagnosis. At the time of her publicized diagnosis, Dr. Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life America, said, “Richards is facing the end of her own life. Many prayers must be said for her – to pray she will repent of her abortion advocacy and the killing of her own baby.” She noted that Cecile Richards publicly admitted in 2015 to aborting her fourth child because she and her husband “decided that was as big as our family needed to be” and that “[i]t wasn't anything more dramatic than that.” Miller said, “To kill another human being and say ‘There's no more to it than that' – is bone chilling.” During her 12-year tenure at Planned Parenthood, Richards presided over the abortions of an estimated 3.5 million preborn babies (almost half of whom were likely female), whose lives she dismissed as not “really relevant” to the discussion of abortion. Her time leading the abortion giant also saw sharp declines in actual medical services, like breast cancer screenings or prenatal care, while abortions rose by 11 percent. Plus, Planned Parenthood's practice of selling aborted babies' organs was also revealed during her tenure. U.S. cancer mortality rate declines A new report from the American Cancer Society found the cancer mortality rate continued to decline in 2022. Cancer deaths declined 34% from 1991 to 2022 in the U.S. That translates into 4.5 million deaths averted. However, the report found that cancer incidence has increased gradually among women and young Americans. College champions, Ohio State Buckeyes, champion Christ And finally, the Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday. The team defeated Indiana's Notre Dame Fighting Irish 34 to 23 for the national title. It's the first time the Buckeyes won the title since 2014. ANNOUNCER: “The odds looked impossible. The longest, toughest post season climb in the history of the sport. And, after all that, it's Ohio State, together at the mountain top, champions of college football!” (cheers) The Ohio team has been known for expressing their Christian faith. Coach Ryan Day told ESPN, “Faith is huge with these guys.” Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard said he had to “give my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all the glory, all the praise.” Robin Roberts chatted with Howard on Good Morning America. ROBERTS: “I know as a kid you had the dream of a moment like last night. Can you just share your emotions?” HOWARD: “You know, waking up this morning as a national champion, it's still surreal. God is good. It's just an unbelievable feeling. I'm just so proud of the guys and coach day and all the coaches.” And linebacker Cody Simon said, “The Lord did something special on this team, and we're just so thankful.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, January 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025.
