7 Ways to Respond Biblically When a Trusted Believer Falls

A federal agent attempted to arrest an illegal immigrant in Minnesota and was ambushed by people who attacked him with a shovel and a broom handle. According to DHS, the attack on the officer is the result of hateful rhetoric coming from Democrat politicians. The agent was forced to open fire. He shot the Venezuelan […] The post Minnesota Is Occupied by Violent Radicals: DHS Agent Beaten appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Many of us GenX adults have fascinations with our childhood television and/or movie heroes.  We played with our toys or confidently walked out of our bedroom appearing steadfast as a character; with or without the cape and cowl.  Yet, as adults when we were preparing to welcome our children into the world, were we so captivated by our characters to the point of adding the character's name to the baby "name list"?  Would you have been able to recommend to your spouse to name your expectant newborn after a character's name from the 1980s?Many of you know, especially if you listen to the Memory Jogger podcasts, that my favorite 1980s television show is the Dukes of Hazzard.  The truth is, however, I would rank the Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, and Airwolf all as my number one television shows.  I even wrote an article entitled "How Would You Write it?" on Rediscover Old School (which is the latest addition to the Rediscover Media family of sites) in which my U.S. Air Force roommate Ryan and I had come up with a movie idea to rescue St. John Hawke utilizing the A-Team, MacGyver, Knight Rider, and Airwolf.Back to the primary topic of discussion... As my wife and I learned of the news that we were expecting baby number one, with the subsequent confirmation that it would be a boy, I believe that we were in the third or fourth month before we finally said, "we'd better come up with a name or at least put a list together."  Promptly, I said Stringfellow Hawke!Stringfellow Hawke play by Jan-Michael Vincent(Photos Courtesy: Google search "Stringfellow Hawke" and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086662/mediaindex/?relatedNames=nm0001821&contentTypes=still_frame&ref_=ttch_sm)Note that this conversation was at night as we were preparing to go to sleep so I could not see my wife's facial expression.  Instead, she began to explain (lecture) to me how much our son would be bullied by the name.  I attempted to argue my point that I was attempting to give our firstborn a truly unique and uncommon name.  I even included the reason my sister, my late brother (who died shortly after birth), and I were named rare names compared to the common Matthews, Josephs, Johns, etc.  Still, the case was arbitrarily closed.Throughout the entire four sons that my wife and I have welcomed to this earth, I have attempted to name each one of them Stringfellow Hawke.  And like clockwork, I keep being met with the same, emphatic and boisterous "no!"  However, I was able to sneak in '80s character names as part of their full name.  My two older sons are endowed with Dominic, yes named after Dominic Santini from Airwolf (however my wife will tell you that her reason is after a doll name from her youth), and Alexander, named after Alex Sector from Mobile Armored Strike Kommand (M.A.S.K.).  Sorry Doug, I could not pull off Bruce, Matt, Floyd or Boris...I had enough battles with Stringfellow.Dominic Santini played by Ernest Borgnine(Photo Courtesy: https://airwolf.fandom.com/wiki/Dominic_Santini)Alex Sector voiced by Brendan McKane(Photo Courtesy: https://mask.fandom.com/wiki/Alex_Sector)Why do I bring this character name up?  Several years ago while I was serving in the U.S. Air Force, I was newly assigned to a unit as the Flight Chief (Superintendent) and as I am reviewing the list of the Airmen in which I would oversee, I came across Cheetara.  When I met with my new Airmen, I had to ask if she was named after the Thundercats character and she, regrettably, confirmed.  She was not too thrilled about the name, however she noted that her mother was a big fan of the Thundercats cartoon.  Wow!  I wasn't the only person attempting to name my children after favorite television or movie characters!Cheetara voiced by Lynne Lipton(Photo Courtesy: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thundercats/images/8/80/Cheetara.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111219202357)What about you, fellow GenX parents?  Have you named your child or children after favorite 1980s characters

French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a stark warning that any breach of Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland would trigger “unprecedented” consequences, directly challenging President Trump’s renewed push to acquire the strategic Arctic territory. Macron Draws Red Line on Greenland Sovereignty During a January 14 cabinet meeting in Paris, President Macron delivered France’s strongest warning yet regarding Trump’s Greenland ambitions. “If the sovereignty of a European country and ally were to be affected, the knock-on effects would be unprecedented,” Macron declared, promising France would act in “full solidarity with Denmark and its sovereignty.” This represents an extraordinary escalation between NATO allies, with France positioning itself as the lead defender of European territorial integrity against American pressure. BREAKING: In a stunning repudiation of Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron just made clear Greenland must not be taken. Wow. pic.twitter.com/mUD2hTShzg — Democratic Wins Media (@DemocraticWins) January 13, 2026 Trump Escalates Pressure Campaign Against Allied Territory President Trump has dramatically intensified his rhetoric since returning to office, declaring the U.S. will “do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.” Trump dismissed Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen’s rejection of U.S. control, suggesting it could become “a significant problem for him.” This coercive language toward a NATO ally’s autonomous territory represents a dangerous departure from traditional alliance diplomacy and respect for sovereignty principles that have underpinned Western security cooperation. The President argues that U.S. control of Greenland is vital to counter Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic, where melting ice has opened new shipping routes and access to resources. However, his approach of pressuring allies through threats undermines the very alliance solidarity needed to counter these competitors effectively. European Unity Forms Against U.S. Overreach The European response extends far beyond Macron’s warnings. France will open a consulate in Greenland on February 6, explicitly described by Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot as a “political signal” of European presence. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen publicly assured Greenlanders they can “rely on EU support,” while Germany’s foreign minister stressed that Greenland’s fate belongs to “Greenlanders and the Kingdom of Denmark” alone, citing UN principles on sovereignty. This coordinated European pushback demonstrates how Trump’s coercive approach is driving allies toward greater strategic autonomy rather than cooperation. Denmark has announced plans to strengthen its military presence in Greenland and push for increased NATO exercises, effectively militarizing the dispute within the alliance framework. Greenlandic Self-Determination Challenges U.S. Ambitions Greenland’s political leaders have issued a powerful joint statement rejecting U.S. acquisition attempts, declaring “We don’t want to be Americans, we don’t want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders.” This unified stance from the 56,000-person territory complicates any U.S. acquisition strategy, as Greenlandic autonomy and eventual self-determination aspirations align more closely with European support for indigenous rights than American territorial expansion. The Greenlandic position undermines Trump’s justification that acquisition serves regional security interests. If the goal is countering Russian and Chinese influence, alienating the very people whose territory America seeks to control while fracturing NATO solidarity achieves the opposite result. This approach hands adversaries a propaganda victory about American imperialism while weakening the alliance cooperation essential for Arctic security.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is in a very special category: black, Muslim, and a refugee from Somalia. It’s a triple-banger, like Karine Jean-Pierre, always touted as black, lesbian, and Haitian. Never question their prominence on the merits. It’s a born-on-third-base situation in national politics and media. So, when Omar submits herself to television interviews from liberal networks, she knows she can say inflammatory things and not be seriously challenged. On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” the topic was Renee Good being shot after she drove into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with her SUV. Omar claimed Good was “sitting in her car peacefully,” and then the ICE agent “shouldn’t be trying to get in front of a moving car.” Good was right whether she was in park or in drive. On top of that, Team Trump shouldn’t defend the ICE agent, because “we can see in the videos that have been produced so far that what they are describing is really not what is taking place.” This is engaging in denialism. It’s obvious from the ICE agent’s video that he was struck by Good’s car. CBS host Margaret Brennan didn’t challenge Omar on that, or anything else about the incident. She only pushed back by vaguely stipulating there has been violence against ICE agents. This agent was previously run over by a car in his official capacity. That’s not relevant when you’ve decided that in every instance, ICE and President Donald Trump are the villains. That wasn’t as outrageous as Omar’s appearance later on MS NOW’s “The Weekend: Primetime.” Over half an hour, all the questions were designed to elicit her talking points. Co-host Antonia Hylton asked: “In the wake of someone being shot and killed, are you worried that more of your constituents’ lives will be at risk? Are you worried at all as they pull out their cellphones, as they interact with these officers, that that might just, frankly, not be safe?” Omar broke out the conspiracy theories: “What this administration is looking for is for there to be deadly encounters so that they can invoke the Insurrection Act and have martial law. And it is a dangerous, dangerous escalation that they’re looking for.” But it’s the second segment of this interview that shocked the conservative world, when they asked Omar about fighting welfare fraud, as if Omar isn’t connected to Somalis who benefited from fraud schemes, including employees of her campaigns. MS NOW star Ayman Mohyeldin disparaged “conservative YouTuber” Nick Shirley and complained, “We have politicians making decisions based off of conspiracy theories. I’m just wondering what you make of that and how dangerous that is, that our politicians are falling for this.” Omar lamented that anyone would fall for the idea that “Democrats condone this fraud,” and suggested all the fraud prosecutions occurred under the Biden administration. That’s not true. But Omar was on a roll, attacking Team Trump: “I’m so exhausted in trying to ask what any of this, you know, information has led to you finding any criminals that you have indicted, that explains why you are wasting so much of our taxpayer resources.” U.S. attorneys under President Joe Biden achieved about 60 fraud convictions, many of them Somalis, and that effort continues under Trump. That’s not “wasting” taxpayer dollars. It’s trying to punish people who stole money from social programs. Shameless Ilhan Omar doesn’t have to worry about journalists bothering her with challenging questions about her conspiracy theories or her connections to fraudsters, or her booming net worth and if that was ethically gained. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion” goals translate to media coddling, polishing, and defusing.
