The 90s Baby Show is back with another FULL podcast episode full of chaos, culture, controversy, and comedy

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde pulls back the curtain on a fast-growing threat to U.S. remote hiring: applicants who claim they live in the United States, but are actually overseas, using semi-synthetic or fully legitimate personas complete with U.S. VOIP numbers, "real" apartment-complex addresses, credible degrees, and high-engagement LinkedIn profiles.Why are so many suspicious profiles tracing back to Nigeria, India, and Pakistan: is it simply population scale, or are there specific enablers that make these routes more common? What changes when the motive shifts from "get paid in dollars" to something darker—organized crime, state-sponsored access, or even sanctions-evasion tactics modeled after North Korea's fake IT worker playbook? And how might post-2024 policy shifts, including tighter visa and travel restrictions, be reshaping the incentives and tactics behind this trend?Bidemi explores what these schemes mean for insider risk, why traditional background checks can fail in a remote-first world, and what leadership teams should do now to harden hiring pipelines—before the next "perfect candidate" becomes the next breach.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comSupport the show

In 2014, the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from the small town of Chibok, Nigeria. One of the young women, Naomi Adamu, and her friends smuggled a Bible into captivity, and for seven years the Scriptures were a source of their strength to resist. Upon the hostages' release, Wall Street Journal reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson interviewed Naomi and many others for their book Bring Back Our Girls, and wrote a 2021 cover story for Christianity Today in which they shared the role that their faith played in their captivity. As Boko Haram continues to kidnap and displace innocent people in Nigeria and religious conflict abounds, this piece offers an account of the ways that God can be at work in the darkest places.

John Burrough, CEO of Partners International, is a former mission trip leader and played in the NFL—including playing in a Super Bowl. Listen as he shares how taking a mission trip completely changed his outlook and how that experience could impact and change your perspective in every area of life. Partners International began in the early 1940s with a missionary to China, Duncan Roberts, and from there continued to support and grow local leaders advancing the gospel in China. Later, the ministry's work expanded into Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The focus today is on reaching the unreached parts of the world for Christ. John will share how Partners International invests in local ministries and church networks advancing the gospel in the 10/40 window, and how they come alongside locals to help them go further and faster in achieving the mission God has given them. "All missions begins with prayer," John says, and shares how the Lord is mobilizing prayer for the unreached in restricted nations and hostile areas. Listen for the amazing story of a former Boko Haram member in West Africa who came to Christ while spying on a Christian leadership training session. The former terrorist is now advancing the gospel among the people he used to work with.

Bienvenue dans ce supplément du Grand reportage consacré entièrement à l'Amérique de Donald Trump. C'est le 20 janvier 2026 qu'il a pu marquer ses 12 mois d'un retour au pouvoir quelque peu fracassant. Donald Trump n'a eu de cesse de vouloir bouger les lignes à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de son pays. En seconde partie, direction l'Afrique. où nous verrons les conséquences des coups de griffe du président américain au nom de sa devise «L'Amérique d'abord».  Virginie occidentale, le mirage d'une vie meilleure Il y a tout juste un an, Donald Trump revenait à la Maison Blanche ; raz-de-marée électoral à l'appui, promesse de relance d'une économie sinistrée par l'inflation des années Biden, en bandoulière. Douze mois plus tard, l'économie stagne et les démocrates font entendre une petite musique : celle de «l'accessibilité...». Donald Trump aurait sacrifié les Américains les plus pauvres, sur l'autel du tohubohu qu'il sème à l'international.  Biens et services, ressources de première nécessité, restent inaccessibles. Nous voici en Virginie occidentale, un concentré de détresse sociale : logements indignes, chômage, insécurité alimentaire. On y a voté Trump à 70%. Mais la lumière n'est toujours pas au bout du tunnel.  Un Grand reportage de Vincent Souriau qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.   Interventionnisme, aide coupée, manipulation: le nouveau visage de la politique de Trump en Afrique Il y a un an, Donald Trump était élu président des États-Unis. Le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche est depuis omniprésent à l'international. En Afrique, le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud ont été directement concernés par un interventionnisme décomplexé… La fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international (Usaid), quant à elle, a de lourdes conséquences humaines sur le continent. Un Grand reportage de : Valentin Hugues | Liza Fabbian | Paulina Zidi | Benoît Almeras | Florence Miettaux | Marlène Panara | Laurent Correau. Entretien avec Jacques Allix.

When Don Lemon appears in a church in St. Paul Minnesota—not to worship, but as part of a protest meant to disrupt and mock—it tells you something about the moment we're living in, because mockery has always come first. Before Christians were hunted by Nero and later wiped out under Diocletian, they were ridiculed—painted as dangerous, irrational, and unfit for public life. That same pattern is playing out today. While churches here are mocked, Christians in Nigeria are being hunted, burned out of their villages, and murdered for their faith—much like believers in Rome, punished not for crimes but for refusing to bow. And the pressure doesn't stop there. In the early Church, false teachers like Valentinus and Marcion didn't attack Christianity head-on; they redefined it, reshaping Jesus to fit the spirit of the age. Different century, same pattern: public scorn, real persecution, and a counterfeit gospel meant to replace the real one. The question is whether the Church recognizes the parallels and stands firm.

C'est l'équivalent du pape pour la communauté anglicane : Sarah Mullally deviendra, mercredi 28 janvier, la nouvelle archevêque de Canterbury. C'est la première femme élue à ce poste – son prédécesseur, Justin Welby, a dû démissionner il y a un an, accusé d'avoir mal géré un scandale d'abus sexuels au sein de l'Église anglicane. Sarah Mullally va devoir reconstruire la confiance dans l'institution, et surtout réunifier une communauté divisée sur les grandes questions sociales (comme l'acceptation des couples de même sexe). De notre correspondante à Londres ,  Trois matins par semaine, les fidèles prient dans l'Église St Mary, au cœur de la City de Londres. Le diocèse de Sarah Mullally. Agnès et Alan, en chaussettes sur le sol en pierre, n'ont pas été surpris de sa nomination.  « Ça ne va pas changer ma vie religieuse, mais c'est l'ancienne patronne des infirmières des hôpitaux publics. Par conséquent elle a une expérience administrative, en plus de son expérience ecclésiastique, qui va lui être utile », dit Alan. « Beaucoup pensent qu'avoir une femme à ce poste est une avancée, mais il reste beaucoup de dossiers à traiter », estime Agnès. Une Église anglicane traversée par de profondes divisions Comme l'inclusion des minorités, la protection des victimes d'abus sexuels... Pour le prêtre de la paroisse, Paul Kennedy, Sarah Mullally ne pourra pas plaire aux 110 millions de fidèles anglicans dans le monde. « Elle a été une bonne évêque à Londres, mais elle pourrait causer des frictions à l'étranger. L'Église anglicane est très large, et inclut des ailes très conservatrices, qui ne seront pas d'accord avec ses idées. Il y aura des tensions ». L'Église du Nigeria par exemple, rejette déjà l'autorité de Sarah Mullally. En visite à Sainte-Mary, Paul Shaw est recteur dans l'ouest du pays. Pour lui, même en Angleterre, les questions liées à la sexualité divisent, d'ailleurs, le prêtre qui l'accompagne préfère s'éloigner, pour ne pas s'agacer explique-t-il. « À l'échelle nationale, même au sein d'une église, d'une paroisse, c'est un sujet très clivant. Et bien sûr, il y a aussi le fait que ce soit une femme : certains pans de notre Eglise sont mal à l'aise à ce sujet, mais je n'en fais pas partie ». Réparer la confiance  Unifier une Église mondiale, pour Linda Woodhead, sociologue des religions, l'ancienne infirmière devra aussi réparer la confiance après une série de scandales sexuels. « Il faut qu'il y ait un système de compensations, à l'écoute des victimes et qui leur convienne, sans avoir à passer par des procédures judiciaires longues et horribles. Il s'agit de retisser le lien entre l'Église d'Angleterre et la population d'Angleterre ». Une reconnexion nécessaire pour prévenir la montée de l'extrême droite, menée sur les réseaux sociaux par l'influenceur anti-immigration et islamophobe Tommy Robinson. « Les voix d'extrême droite comme Tommy Robinson se présentent comme les seules capables de représenter une chrétienté anglaise, patriote. Or, jusqu'à maintenant, l'Église anglicane ne s'est pas demandé comment incarner, au XXIè siècle, une religion nationale. [Sarah Mullally] va devoir prendre position ». Sarah Mullally devra quitter son poste à 70 ans. Elle a six ans pour réunifier son Église. À lire aussiRoyaume-Uni: la «bergère» Sarah Mullally sera la première femme archevêque de Canterbury

Ella Chikezie steps into the director's chair with In Her Shoes, a short film shaped by urgency and care. Known for her work on Christmas in Lagos and in the production trenches of Choke and Tokunbo, Chikezie makes her directorial debut. The project was awarded under the initiative Using Entertainment Media to Combat Gender Based Violence in Nigeria. For Chikezie, this film is personal. It is also political. It is a quiet declaration of intent. The story follows Halima, a young autistic Muslim girl who finds freedom on a football pitch. At home and at school, she is misunderstood. Her joy is dismissed as unfeminine. Her difference is treated as a burden. As financial pressure and social expectations close in, Halima's mother considers an arranged marriage as an escape. Her father, shaken by his daughter's moments of joy, must choose between tradition and tenderness. One choice could change everything. In Her Shoes joins a strong lineage of African films that confront painful truths with purpose. Like Dazzling Mirage, The Lucky Specials, and Nawi: Dear Future Me, the film treats cinema as a tool for awareness. It addresses autism, child marriage, bullying, and gender bias without preaching. Screened at the 2025 Lagos Fringe Festival, the film announces itself with restraint and confidence. Darasimi Nadi delivers a performance of striking honesty, allowing silence and gesture to speak where words cannot. Chikezie directs with clarity and resolve. The film trusts its audience. It builds to an ending that lingers, not because it shouts, but because it refuses to look away. A girl runs. A ball rolls forward. The noise follows. In Her Shoes reminds us that change is rarely polite, often uncomfortable, and always necessary. This episode of Visual Intonation Podcast explores how one filmmaker uses story to insist on dignity, visibility, and hope.  Ella Chikezie's Filmography: imdb.com/name/nm13215349 Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient.

For the child's safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended Conejo Arias.   Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administration's immigration enforcement.

An immigration judge issued him a final order of removal in 2019. In a dangerous attempt to evade arrest, this criminal illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots. The criminal illegal alien was not hit and attempted to flee on foot. He was successfully apprehended by law enforcement. The illegal alien was not injured, but a CBP officer was injured.  These dangerous attempts to evade arrest have surged since sanctuary politicians, including Governor Newsom, have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest and provided guides advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest. Our officers are now facing a 3,200% increase in vehicle attacks. This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.   https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2014063905413177637?s=20  CNN Panelist Issues Retraction and Apology After Going Too Far in On-Air Trump Attack    footage of CNN's “Newsnight with Abby Phillip” was posted to social media platform X featuring 25-year-old leftist activist Cameron Kasky alongside panel mainstay Scott Jennings. A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features. Critical as future third party presence in those areas proximate Diego Garcia could in practical terms render those U.S. military facilities operationally impractical (ie useless). The current deal under consideration in the UK parliament in a rushed vote as soon as 2 February is ill advised. And it likely would break the decades long understanding with the U.S. government.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

Nestled between Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria, Benin is a rich sliver of West Africa too often overlooked. This program puts Afropop's spotlight on Benin, starting with the country's favorite daughter. International star Angelique Kidjo looks back on her musical education in the Benin capital, Cotonou, as she walks us through the songs on her album Oyo, which spans covers of songs by James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Miriam Makeba, and Benin's own Bella Bellow. We meet the 70s "vodoun funk" band Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, who are still going strong, and recently made their belated US debut. We move forward to present a chat with Lionel Loueke, a Beninois guitarist who has moved on to become one of the most original voices in contemporary American jazz. The program ends with a remembrance of the brilliant Malian guitarist and singer Lobi Traore. APWW PGM #594 Originally aired in 2010

People around the world are using AI more than Americans, a new poll finds. About 40% of adults in the U.S. told pollsters that they used generative AI in the last year. In Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, and India, that number was about 85%. What's driving the divide? But first: a preview of markets before President Donald Trump's speech at Davos, and a look at the struggle between the Trump administration and the Fed.

A new report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change says that most countries, including those in Africa, will find it difficult to have full autonomy over AI systems. According to the Institute, only 32 countries worldwide host AI-specific data centres, leaving around 160 nations dependent on foreign infrastructure. We hear how the situation is for African countries. And, Nigeria wants to resume oil drilling in Ogoniland in Southern Rivers State; thirty years after environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others were executed following a protest that saw the killing of four tradional chiefs of an oil producing community known as Ogoni. This led to the suspension of exploration by oil giant Shell – the company accused of causing the environmental damage. We hear the views of the Nigerian government and environmental activists.

It's Wednesday, January 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims kidnapped 160 people, many of whom are Christians Armed bandits raided three church services in Nigeria on Sunday. The suspected Fulani Muslim militants kidnapped over 160 people in Kaduna State. Morning Star News reports it could be the largest mass kidnapping of Christian farmers in the area. Rev. Joseph John Hayab is the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria for the country's north. He told media outlets, “The terrorists invaded the churches while worship services were on. They held the worshippers hostage and marched them out into the bushes.” An eyewitness told TruthNigeria, “It was around 10 a.m. on Sunday. I was in our Evangelical Church Winning All church when we suddenly heard gunshots everywhere.  The gunmen were shouting that everyone should lie  down or be killed.” In addition, he said some of the assailants wore black robes with black head turbans, and others were outfitted with “shabby-looking Nigerian Army camouflage uniforms.” The man and his 10-year-old son escaped through a window while the Muslim assailants were forcing the congregation out. Sadly, local police are acting as if nothing happened.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” UK court: Men not allowed in female changing room A court in the United Kingdom ruled against a hospital's transgender policy last week. The landmark ruling said that Darlington Memorial Hospital discriminated against eight female nurses. The nurses simply objected to a man, pretending to be a woman, from using their changing room.  The Christian Legal Centre supported the nurses in the case. Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, commented, “The [National Health System] and the government should now give up their sabotage of clear judicial decisions and abide by the law which acknowledges that men are men and women are women.” Britain tracks new Christian songs Britain's Official Charts Company is launching a new official singles chart for Christian music this month. AStepFWD, the organization behind the U.K. Christian Charts, has partnered with the Official Charts Company to introduce the Official Christian & Gospel Singles Chart. Christian Today reports the chart will “formally recognize the growing impact of faith-based music within the wider U.K. music landscape.” 10,000 Christians gather in France's March for Life Around 10,000 people gathered in Paris on Sunday for France's annual March for Life. AUDIO:  (Marchers chanting for life in French.) The event highlighted opposition to legislation that would legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.  Listen to this testimony from a French marcher through a translator. POST-ABORTIVE WOMAN: “I had an abortion under circumstances where my fiancé forced me to do it so that we could get married, and it literally broke me. But God saved me. God healed me and helped me rebuild my life and turned the worst event of my life into a source of greater strength.” Marie-Lys Pellissier is the spokeswoman for the March for Life in France. The 24-year-old said, “Going out into the street seems essential to us. It is the only moment in the year when we can publicly express our opposition to abortion and euthanasia and propose concrete solutions. The rest of the time, the media never give us the floor.” Trump announces tariffs against goods from Denmark On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced tariffs on all goods from Denmark. President Trump said the tariff will be in force “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.” The 10% tariff will also apply to all goods from Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland. 70% of Americans diagnosed with cancer survive More Americans are surviving cancer, according to new findings from the American Cancer Society. The report found the five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined reached 70% for people diagnosed during 2015-2021. That's up from about 50% in the 1970s. The survival rates for people diagnosed with more fatal cancers is up significantly as well from the 1990s. Gallup poll: Americans trust nurses, not telemarketers Gallup released their latest Honesty and Ethics Survey of the professions that Americans trust the most.  U.S. adults have the most trust in nurses, military veterans, medical doctors, and pharmacists. They have the least trust in members of Congress and telemarketers.  Only 27% of Americans have high levels of trust in clergy, down from 64% in 2001. Hoosier quarterback gives glory to God And finally, the Indiana Hoosiers won their first college football national championship on Monday. ANNOUNCER: “He's gonna take off and run. Mendoza weaves his way first and diving toward the end zone. Touchdown!  A century of futility is forgotten. The Indiana Hoosiers are the kings of college football. The 2026 college football national champions: Coach Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers!” The Hoosiers beat the Miami Hurricanes 27 to 21 to cap off an undefeated season. The team's historic victory represents a turnaround led by head coach Curt Cignetti over the past two years. For decades, the Hoosiers were known as the “losingest team” in college football. Members of the tight-knit team are now known for sharing their faith. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an outspoken Christian who also won the Heisman Trophy last year, college football's top individual award.  Listen to his comments after the championship victory. MENDOZA: “This victory is so sweet for everybody, for the entire Hoosier nation, but also it's super sweet for myself. I was a two-star recruit coming out of high school. I got declined to walk on offer to the University of Miami. Full circle moment here. Playing in Miami for all the friends and family. I can't thank Coach [Curt] Cignetti enough, and Coach [Chandler] Whitmer and Coach [Ola] Adams for taking a chance on me. I just give all the glory to God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

Why do we really choose the churches we attend? In this episode of the McIntyre Inc. Podcast, Michael and Brianna McIntyre have an unfiltered conversation about Christianity, denominations, and the often-unspoken truth: many of us don't choose our church theologically—we choose it culturally. From Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Charismatic, and Episcopal traditions to underground churches in North Korea, persecuted believers in Nigeria, and the early house churches in Acts, this conversation explores how faith, power, comfort, and control have shaped modern Christianity.

A dangerous deception is spreading inside the conservative movement—and it could cost America everything. In this urgent episode of The Stakscast, Erick Stakelbeck sits down with Brooke Goldstein—human rights attorney, founder of The Lawfare Project, and one of the most fearless voices confronting antisemitism and Islamist lawfare in the West. Goldstein exposes how Israel and the Jewish people are being weaponized as a wedge issue to divide conservatives, fracture Christian unity, and weaken America at the exact moment the West needs moral clarity and strength. She warns that isolationist narratives and anti-Israel conspiracy theories aren't just wrong—they're a deliberate diversion tactic that distracts from the real threat: Islamism's war on Judeo-Christian civilization.  Goldstein makes a shocking but clarifying point: How the “woke right” mirrors the radical left in targeting Israel Why Islamists don't distinguish between Jews and Christians: we're all “infidels” The chilling reality of Christian persecution worldwide—from Nigeria to Sudan Qatar's influence campaign and why education is the battlefield for America's future Goldstein's warning is unmistakable: first the Saturday people… then the Sunday people.If the Jewish-Christian alliance fractures, the West fractures—and our enemies win Learn more about your ad choices.

Voilà tout juste un an que Donald Trump est retourné à la Maison-Blanche. Douze mois d'essoufflement pour la planète, tant la cadence imposée par le président américain est intense et inédite. Comme le reste du monde, l'Afrique est, elle aussi, prise au dépourvu par les méthodes brutales du milliardaire. Fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international, bombardement aérien au Nigeria, accaparement des terres rares en RDC, sans compter les taxes douanières et la restriction d'entrée aux États-Unis imposée à des dizaines de millions de ressortissants africains. Dans une analyse pour le site d'information français Mediapart, le journaliste et essayiste sénégalais Ousmane Ndiaye décrit un « impérialisme trumpien violent pour le monde entier, mais encore plus pour l'Afrique ». Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. Durant son premier mandat en 2018, Donald Trump désignait les pays africains comme des « shithole countries », des « pays de merde ». Mais depuis son retour il y a un an, le président américain, et les États-Unis en général, n'ont jamais montré autant d'intérêt pour le continent. Pour le pire ou pour le meilleur ? Ousmane Ndiaye : Pour le meilleur pour les Américains, sans doute, quand on se situe dans l'axe trumpien du America first. Par contre, du point de vue africain, je crains que ce soit pour le pire. Parce que ce nouvel intérêt pour l'Afrique est d'abord purement financier, accompagné d'une volonté d'impérialisme. Et on oublie trop souvent que les États-Unis ont toujours été une puissance militaire présente en Afrique, avec l'Africom (Commandement des États-Unis pour l'Afrique) et que Trump utilise désormais pour intervenir contre des pays sur des questions de politique intérieure. Je pense à l'Afrique du Sud qui a été menacée à plusieurs reprises parce que les Blancs seraient maltraités, selon Trump. Au Nigeria où les États-Unis sont intervenus par des frappes aériennes dans le nord du pays dans des conditions encore floues. Deuxième volet très important de l'offensive trumpienne : « Je viens en Afrique parce que stratégiquement vos minerais m'intéressent. » C'est clairement formulé, c'est clairement dit. Les pays d'intérêts de Trump ont un fort potentiel minier, comme la RDC. Certes, il y a l'accord de paix avec le Rwanda, mais il est corrélé avec un accord de partenariat économique qui donne un accès privilégié aux États-Unis aux ressources minières de la RDC. Ça rappelle la politique de la Françafrique des années 1970-1980 où la France avait un accès privilégié aux ressources de son pré-carré. Autres pays d'intérêt pour Trump : la Guinée. Dans le cas de la Guinée, quel est cet autre intérêt précis ? D'abord, le gisement de fer du Simandou. Et ensuite, il ne faut pas oublier que Trump aussi projette les obsessions de la diplomatie américaine, à savoir la concurrence avec la Chine, très présente en Guinée. Alors même que ressurgissent en Afrique les slogans qui ont fait les Indépendances - tels que la lutte contre l'impérialisme et le colonialisme, la défense de la souveraineté - les dirigeants du continent, mais également les opinions publiques africaines, pour l'instant en tout cas, montrent beaucoup moins de ferveur à critiquer Trump. Pourquoi ? Il y a une scène qui m'a beaucoup marqué, c'est le sommet Afrique-États-Unis à la Maison blanche en juillet dernier [auquel participaient les présidents de la Mauritanie, de la Guinée-Bissau, du Sénégal, du Liberia et du Gabon, NDLR]. Ils ont été reçus comme des écoliers. On les a mis dans un car, Trump oubliant leurs pays d'origine tout en oubliant leurs noms. C'était un spectacle de domination terrible ! Je m'attendais à une sorte de posture de dignité de ces chefs d'États. Au contraire, on les a vu dans un acte de contrition et d'aplatissement. Notamment le Gabonais Brice Oligui Nguema proposer le prix Nobel à Trump avec force et dans discours mielleux, ou encore le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye surfer sur la passion pour le golf de Trump et lui proposer des terres. Ce qui me frappe, c'est que face aux États-Unis de Trump, les Africains n'ont ni réponse individuelle ni réponse commune. Tout le reste du monde s'organise pour faire face à ce désordre, à cette tempête qu'est Trump et je trouve que l'Afrique reste assez en marge, à tort. Car Trump est en train de bouleverser l'ordre du monde. Et dans ce bouleversement, comme on l'a vu avec la fin de l'USAID et le retrait américain des organisations internationales, l'Afrique en subit les premières conséquences. Des millions de personnes risquent de mourir en Afrique suite à un seul décret de Trump. On risque d'avoir plus de morts que durant le Covid. Donc l'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump. Personnellement, je crains un retour de la guerre froide, c'est-à-dire des stratégies de positionnement des grandes puissances mondiales, où l'Afrique n'est qu'un instrument et, encore une fois, le terrain d'une lutte par procuration. Dans un espace où il n'y a pas de respect des conventions internationales, ça va être encore plus catastrophique que durant la guerre froide.

Mike Slater confronts the spiritual dimensions of global Christian persecution, drawing from Ephesians 6:12 to expose how unseen "principalities and powers" manifest in earthly systems of oppression, authoritarian control, extremist ideologies, and societal rejection. This episode explores the ongoing realities in the world's most hostile regions, including North Korea—where faith can lead to immediate execution or labor camps—alongside escalating pressures in places like Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, Eritrea, and others marked by violence, discrimination, and restrictions on worship. Viewers are invited to grapple with these truths, recognize the spiritual warfare behind the headlines, and consider the call to vigilance, prayer, and faithful response in light of Christ's ultimate authority.

In Part 2 of our interview with Pastor Hassan Abduraheem Taour, he shares how his heart remained upbeat, even as the judge pronounced him guilty and sentenced him to 12 years in prison. He'll talk about how reading the Bible is different inside prison than when you're free. Hassan says he experienced persecution as a blessing from God—a blessing that brought him tears of joy. "It is really a privilege to be persecuted," he says. Pastor Hassan recounted how fellow members of the Body of Christ in Sudan encouraged him in prison with faith that the Lord would release him. His prayer life also grew in prison, as he became a prayer warrior, quoting Bible verses as he prayed with tears. Your faith will be encouraged and you'll be challenged to pray for Sudan, Christians imprisoned for Christ, and their families as you hear Pastor Hassan's amazing testimony this week on VOM Radio. Hear Part 1 of our conversation here. Pastor Hassan was imprisoned alongside VOM's Africa regional director, Petr Jasek. You can hear Petr's side of the story here. Pastor Hassan's story was also featured in the I Am N virtual event, which you can watch online.
