At least 12 people, mostly children, were murdered in a terrorist attack Saturday afternoon in Israel after Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon, launched dozens of rockets at a soccer field. The Islamic terrorist attack on Majdal Shams, a small village in the Golan Heights, also resulted in dozens of people being hurt. The attack was the deadliest that Israel has experienced since Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group based in Gaza that is backed by Iran, launched an unprecedented attack on October 7 in which thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel and killed 1,200, wounded more than 5,000, took hundreds of people hostage, and unleashed a brutal campaign of rape and torture and women and children. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that an intelligence assessment found that Hezbollah launched the attack “from an area located north of the village of Chebaa in southern Lebanon.” Hezbollah has terrorized Israel in the nearly 10 months since the October 7 attack, firing thousands of rockets, drones, and missiles at communities and military sites in the northern part of the country, which has resulted in numerous fatalities and hundreds of thousands of Israelis being displaced from their homes. The situation between Israel and Hezbollah has been on the brink of escalating into a full-blown war for several months now, and the attack on Saturday might be the catalyst that sparks it. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in the U.S. for the past few days and announced that he was cutting his trip short and returning home immediately following the attack, vowing that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.” Here are the twelve kids that have been identified as killed in the attack. May their memory be a blessing. pic.twitter.com/5g0iub0EYT — AG (@AGHamilton29) July 27, 2024

'Lifelong road to Catholicism'

'He is just a bad man'

These voters’ choice for president will not be on the ticket in November.

White House correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez has been extremely protective of fledgling Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and Thursday evening’s PBS News Hour opened with ten minutes of Barron-Lopez celebrating Harris and bashing her Republican critics as racist. Laura Barron-Lopez: This morning, Harris in Houston, addressing the first labor union to formally endorse her candidacy for the White House…. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States (D) and U.S. Presidential Candidate: Donald Trump and his extreme allies want to take our nation back to failed, trickle-down economic policies. She aired Donald Trump’s counter-argument from a campaign rally (“Trump portrayed Harris as a liberal extremist”), then instantly (and falsely) tried to label part of it wrong: Barron-Lopez: And incorrectly labeled her as Biden's border czar, while using demonizing rhetoric toward migrants. Donald Trump: If border czar Harris stays in charge, every week will bring a never-ending stream of illegal alien rapists, bloodthirsty killers, and child predators to go after our sons and our daughters. The press is both contradicting its previous reporting calling Harris a “border czar” and also trying to shrink the scope of the border responsibilities that President Biden bestowed upon his vice president. Bolstered by new border numbers, conveniently hot from the Biden Administration, Barron-Lopez strove mightily to neutralize Trump’s immigration attacks against Harris. Barron-Lopez: In reality, migrant crossings are down 55 percent since new asylum restrictions took effect seven weeks ago, the Homeland Security Department said Thursday…. Back in the studio, she set up a clip from left-wing organizer LaTosha Brown. Laura Barron-Lopez: I spoke with LaTosha Brown. She's the co-founder of Black Voters Matter in Georgia. She helped lead that call with 44,000 Black women and. She said she's never seen this level of excitement. She compared it to when Barack Obama ran in 2008, saying that it's just seismic. And she said that Harris has a history of engaging with a number of key constituencies from black women to Asian American voters and women across the board. Brown isn’t exactly middle of the road; she likens the police to “state-sanctioned violence” and compared abortion rights to voting rights. Host Bennett broached the idea of Harris as a “progressive” (why not just say “liberal”?) not as a documented fact as displayed by her four-year voting record in the U.S. Senate, but merely something Republicans are trying to unfairly “paint” Harris as. She pivoted to the controversy over calling Harris a “DEI hire,” one of those odd liberal concepts bragged about in the abstract which become rude and racist when actual examples are pointed out. Barron-Lopez: ….one thing that they have been doing a lot, Geoff, is they have been calling Vice President Harris a DEI hire -- diversity, equity, inclusion, hire -- and that's included some Republican lawmakers, allies of Trump….And a lot of the black Democratic organizers that I spoke to said that calling Harris a DEI hire is just another dog whistle. And then Donald Trump again recently on the campaign trail repeatedly mispronounced Kamala Harris' name. Donald Trump: So now we have a new victim to defeat, lying Kamala Harris, lying, L-Y-I-N apostrophe. For three-and-a-half years, lyin’ Kamala Harris has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. I used to call it Biden migrant crime, but now I will probably change it to Harris or Kamala. [Trump pronouncing Harris’s first name Ka-MAL-a, not COMMA-la]. Barron-Lopez mothered over Kamala, the newly birthed Democratic hope. Barron-Lopez: Her name is Kamala. And this is something that Donald Trump did in 2020 as well. He and his surrogates repeatedly mispronounced her name. And a lot of Democrats have said that it's just another dog whistle. Perhaps Barron-Lopez could provide a list of things to say about Kamala Harris that aren’t “dog whistles” (i.e. supposedly racist attacks coded to be only heard by other racists). It’s also an interesting criticism given that another prominent politician who constantly mispronounced Harris’ first name was…her boss Joe Biden. Barron-Lopez has been flashing cheery optimism regarding Harris’s fledgling campaign all week. On Tuesday’s PBS NewsHour she bragged about Harris’ influx of big bucks from donors: Barron-Lopez: A surge in campaign organizing has broken records. As of this morning, the Harris campaign raised more than $100 million from 1.1 million donors since Sunday afternoon…. Barron-Lopez was also high on Harris after Biden’s retirement address Wednesday evening, saying of Harris that “she’s already changing the map” and giving Democrats hope in states “like Georgia, North Carolina.” This nauseatingly pro-Harris coverage was brought to you in part by Raymond James. A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 7/25/24 7:02:30 p.m. (ET) Geoff Bennett: Vice President Kamala Harris was in Houston today, honing her campaign message one day after President Biden explained why he exited the presidential race. Harris' likely nomination has former President Donald Trump and his team racing to shift their strategy following Mr. Biden's withdrawal. Our Laura Barron-Lopez has more. Laura Barron-Lopez: This morning, Harris in Houston addressing the first labor union to formally endorse her candidacy for the White House. Harris only mentioned her opponent's name once. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States (D) and U.S. Presidential Candidate: Donald Trump and his extreme allies want to take our nation back to failed trickle-down economic policies. Kamala Harris: Back to union busting. Back to tax breaks for billionaires. Laura Barron-Lopez: But drew a sharp contrast to Trump throughout, boiling the election down to one question. Kamala Harris: What kind of country do we want to live in, a country of freedom, compassion and rule of law or a country of chaos, fear and hate? Laura Barron-Lopez: That question answered in her first campaign video. Kamala Harris: We choose freedom. Laura Barron-Lopez: Released early today, it also lays out the future Harris sees for the country, once again referencing Trump. Kamala Harris: We choose a future where no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care, where no one is above the law. Laura Barron-Lopez: It all comes a day after President Biden's Oval Office address justifying his seismic decision to drop out of the race. Joe Biden, President of the United States: I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That's the best way to unite our nation. There's also a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices, yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now. Laura Barron-Lopez: Meanwhile, the former president scrambles to pivot his attacks from Biden to Harris. Question: Mr. President, welcome back. Laura Barron-Lopez: In a phone interview on "FOX & Friends" this morning, Trump responded to Harris' messaging against him. Donald Trump, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: I get a kick out of one thing. They say, sir, be nice. He just got hit with a bullet. Maybe he's changed. Be nice. And I'd love to be nice, but I'm dealing against real garbage when you hear that. Lying Kamala Harris. Laura Barron-Lopez: That played off of remarks last night from the former president's first rally since Biden dropped out. Trump portrayed Harris as a liberal extremist. Donald Trump: So, if you want socialist health care, nation-wrecking inflation, the death of American energy, and a lying radical left liberal San Francisco extremist as your commander in chief, then Kamala Harris is your candidate. She's the one for you. (Booing) Laura Barron-Lopez: And incorrectly labeled her as Biden's border czar, while using demonizing rhetoric toward migrants. Donald Trump: If border czar Harris stays in charge, every week will bring a never-ending stream of illegal alien rapists, bloodthirsty killers, and child predators to go after our sons and our daughters. Laura Barron-Lopez: In reality, migrant crossings are down 55 percent since new asylum restrictions took effect seven weeks ago, the Homeland Security Department said Thursday. This afternoon, the vice president was back in Washington for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She did not attend his speech to Congress yesterday, her campaign citing a scheduling conflict. As she campaigns, Harris will have to continue navigating one of the toughest foreign relationships for President Biden, one that's cost him some support within the Democratic Party and in key battleground states. It will now fall on Harris to bridge the gap ahead of November. And just four days into her campaign for president, Vice President Harris is starting to see a surge of support and new openness from key voting blocs that could ultimately determine the election. Geoff Bennett: Well, let's talk more about that Laura because President Biden, as you well know, won women voters by roughly 57 percent in 2020. How is the Harris campaign trying to capitalize on that success and reach out to that voting bloc? Laura Barron-Lopez: Just in the few short days since she launched her campaign, Geoff, they have held nonstop calls with women, be it Black women, Latinas. Tonight, they're going to hold a call with white women organizers and grassroots organizations across the country. One on Sunday with Black women organizers, 44,000 Black women joined that call that had campaign officials on it. And within the few hours of that call, they raised $1.5 million while people were on that call. And then they had a one with Latinas just last night that roughly 4,000 Latinas joined, and they raised $118,000 on that call. So the campaign is really hitting the ground running trying to mobilize women across the board. Geoff Bennett: I know you spoke — speaking with key organizers in multiple states today. What did they tell you? Laura Barron-Lopez: I spoke with LaTosha Brown. She's the co-founder of Black Voters Matter in Georgia. She helped lead that call with 44,000 Black women and. She said she's never seen this level of excitement. She compared it to when Barack Obama ran in 2008, saying that it's just seismic. And she said that Harris has a history of engaging with a number of key constituencies from Black women to Asian American voters and women across the board. LaTosha Brown, Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter: As a vice president has been leading on two issues that I think Black women care deeply about. That's reproductive rights and voting rights. She has a particular kind of guilty young people, because there were some young people that, if there was a concern about the campaign, there were young people who are deeply, deeply upset with this current administration about Gaza. Laura Barron-Lopez: LaTosha Brown said that one of the young people she's been talking to was her niece, who had started to say she was actually on board, when previously her niece was not necessarily happy about President Biden running. And I also spoke to an Arizona organizer, a Latina there, who said that the shift has already happened when they have been knocking on doors, that they used to hear questions about whether or not President Biden was going to stay in the race. And now they're more energized and some undecided Latinos in that state are saying that they're curious about Harris and that they want to learn more about her. Geoff Bennett: Well, let's return to this issue of young voters, how they view the Harris campaign. What's your reporting suggest about that? Laura Barron-Lopez: So we spent some time in Michigan, my producer, Shrai Popat, and I. And in April, we held a roundtable with young voters under the age of 30, including two young women of color. And one of them, Saba Said (ph), we checked in on, she's an uncommitted voter, those voters that are not happy about President Biden's response to Israel-Gaza. And she said that she's unsure if she will vote for Harris, but that she's much more open to her than she was to President Biden.   And then we also checked in with a young Black woman, Melinda Billingsley (ph), who said that Biden was too moderate for her, but that she — If the election were held today, she would vote for Harris. And so she hopes that she hears more from Harris about criminal justice reform. Geoff Bennett: Well, that's interesting because Republicans are trying to paint Kamala Harris, the vice president, as being far more progressive than President Biden. This line that she's a San Francisco liberal, I keep hearing over and over again. Unpack that strategy for us, the Trump campaign strategy, and trying to define the vice president. Laura Barron-Lopez: Well, they have been really rushing to try to define her after — and some of it is repeated attacks that they used on President Biden. But one thing that they have been doing a lot, Geoff, is they have been calling Vice President Harris a DEI higher, diversity, equity, inclusion, higher, including, including — and that's included some Republican lawmakers, allies of Trump. And Trump has also himself called Harris — quote — "dumb as a rock." He did that this week on TRUTH Social, really questioning her qualifications for the job. And a lot of the Black Democratic organizers that I spoke to said that calling Harris a DEI hire is just another dog whistle. And then Donald Trump again recently on the campaign trail repeatedly mispronounced Kamala Harris' name. Donald Trump: So now we have a new victim to defeat, lying Kamala Harris, lying, L-Y-I-N apostrophe. (Booing) Donald Trump: For three-and-a-half years, lion Kamala Harris has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. I used to call it Biden migrant crime, but now I will probably change it to Harris or Kamala. Laura Barron-Lopez: Her name is Kamala. And this is something that Donald Trump did in 2020 as well. He and his surrogates repeatedly mispronounced her name. And a lot of Democrats have said that it's just another dog whistle. Geoff Bennett: Well, what's the campaign strategy for dealing with these attacks? Because I have spoken with Democratic strategists who say, yes, this is offensive, but Kamala Harris, the vice president, should not take the bait. She should rise above this. What is the campaign saying? Laura Barron-Lopez: Well, so far, she hasn't been taking the bait. They haven't really been responding to this at all, Geoff. And in some cases, they're preempting it. So in the case of past comments made by Trump's vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance, Democrats are trying to get ahead of that, highlighting some disparaging comments he made in 2021. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Vice Presidential Candidate: We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via — via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies, who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they have made. And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too. And it's just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we have turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it? Laura Barron-Lopez: Kamala Harris is the stepmother to her husband's two children. And her family has come out defending her, as well as Doug Emhoff's ex-wife. And Democrats have highlighted those comments, Geoff, preempting a lot of those attacks, and essentially trying to make the argument that Republicans are out of step with voters when it comes to reproductive rights and when it comes to privacy around family planning.

The 2024 Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in Paris was supposed to be an event that drew the world together as one, united with the common goal of celebrating the best athletes on the planet. Instead, it was a highly offensive ceremony filled with satanic and anti-Christian imagery. From scenes that appeared satanic to moments that could have come straight from The Book of Revelation in the Bible, the creators laughingly claimed the symbols were just rock music, volcanoes, the “Olympic Spirit” or wings of a dove. However, when put all together and added to the outright mockery of Christianity in a disgusting portrayal of The Last Supper with a female DJ Jesus, their excuses weren’t believable in the least. Near the beginning, a man with angel wings plays the accordion on a bridge above the Seine River where the ceremony took place, already hinting at a Christian theme.             The satanic imagery started during a rock segment as a creepy decapitated Marie Antoinette appears in several windows and chants while a hellish atmosphere with pitchforks, fire, and red colors flash by:             Kelly: What? Can we talk about all the different styles of music and dancing? This is incredible. Michael: You mean we don't mix "Les Miz" with heavy metal every day? Kelly: Yes, we do. Incredible. Oh my gosh. We just had metal after "Les Miz," after can-can. Michael: And that image representing Marie Antoinette, and this section is called Liberty, exploring the Paris political emancipation over time. Oh, okay. It’s just rock and roll and freedom. Gotcha. During a segment featuring a ménage à trois, the three lovers are first seen in a library reading books. As they pull various tomes from the shelves the camera focuses on the titles. One book, ‘Le Diable Au Corps,’ which translates to “The Devil in the Body,” is about a 16-year-old child who has an affair with a married woman who is fifteen years older than her while her husband is at war. The creators weren’t sly about their true messaging when it came to a runway/fashion show segment on a foot bridge during the "Festive" section of the show, as a group that included drag queens, a female Jesus DJ, and a child (who later walks the runway, as well), portrayed The Last Supper at the opening:             Michael: Look at Snoop's reaction when he heard that. He's visiting with us from up on that perch at the Plaza de la Concorde. This is the bridge very close to the Eiffel Tower. If we talk about food, we talk about music, we also talk about fashion. So many of those things, so ingrained in French culture. Little bit of a party time now. Kelly: Yeah! Michael: We saw a red carpet earlier. When you think of red carpets around the world, nothing matches the red carpet in Paris. The fashion show in France in the spring brings the beautiful people from around the world. Every designer comes here, so you knew, Kelly, in the opening ceremony, the tribute to the fashion show. Kelly: And on the bridge? This is incredibly cool. And that is a wet floor. Do not slip. That was going to be my outfit, but I heard she was going to wear it, so I was like, okay.  Michael: I'm looking. This is a footbridge. This is a bridge that people traverse all the time, and what they did to all the monuments and all the places in Paris to bring it alive as a stage above the Seine. Peyton Manning: It's just not normal to turn a bridge into a runway walk. There's a great documentary on Peacock about the creation of the show. It shows how many people were involved in this ceremony. It's pretty stunning. The rain has probably forced them to audible a little bit, and you know, the fact that they had to keep so many things secret. Kelly was talking about how hard it is to perform live when there was no rehearsal. It was no, like I said, live reps. It's incredible what Paris and this entire opening ceremony is pulling off.  Kelly: It's so cool, just involving all the different avenues of their culture. I mean, we have heard dance music, can-can, Lady Gaga. I think we've heard everything. Hard, heavy metal, opera. Michael: It's hard enough to pull off in a stadium, but in the rain, especially, it has not rained in a summer Olympic opening ceremony since Helsinki in 1952. So, now Paris in 2024. Peyton: It's me. It's my fault. I bring the rain. X users also noted a naked, blue man being served on a platter at the supper, and a person who appears to be a transgender woman with a beard singing on the runway, all which weren’t aired on NBC’s broadcasts. (They were apparently aired on European broadcasts.)  Kelly Clarkson gushed about the runway segment, stating, “…that runway, Mike and I, we have been talking about this. Everyone is included at this table. Like, every -- it doesn't matter who you are. They have -- represent all ages, all ethnicities, everything is represented on that runway, and I think that's so important that Paris did that. It's very cool.” Her co-host Mike Tirico agreed, saying, “That's the spirit of this city, isn't it?” Kelly added it was “inspiring.” No mention of the Christian mockery whatsoever. More satanic imagery came during a dance that was supposed to be, “representing the turmoil of the evils affecting the world,” but the creators claimed the hell-like floor the dead bodies were dropping on was a… volcano. Michael: ...part of what has happened over the years at the Olympics is a call for peace around the world, and this dance is representing the turmoil of the evils affecting the world. These young people are dancing on a volcano. And this will morph into a more reflective moment of what has been a big part of this opening ceremony. Kelly: Wow. Mike: And after the celebratory mood thus far at the opening ceremony, a change of tune in the City of Light. Wink, wink, it’s just a volcano, folks! Nothing to be concerned about here! Towards the end of the ceremony, a mechanical horse “gallops” over the river with a rider wearing a cape with the Olympic symbol on it. The vision reminded many of The Book of Revelation in The Bible, which states in chapter 6, verse 8, “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him...” However, the creators claimed it was just representative of “The Olympic Spirit”: Michael: Translated to solidarity, a call to the world. If you recognize that bridge, that's Pont de Austerlitz where the parade and flotilla of boats down the Seine started. 3.7 miles and a few hours ago. And we have a rider on horse galloping on the Seine, which the creators tell us is a representation of the Olympic spirit carrying the Olympic flag. As the horse rides under each bridge, the bridges light up with what appear to be angel wings. But, continuing their plausible deniability tactic, the creators claimed they were the wings of a dove. If anyone might have dismissed the mechanical horse being representative of Revelation because it wasn't technically white or pale, a real, white horse ends up taking over on land, at which point the Eiffel Tower lights up with another pair of wings. The wings appear to be coming from the back of the rider. But, sure, yeah. They’re just wings of a dove. #eyeroll Kelly: All right. Michael: So, here in Paris, the horse began its journey with the Olympic flag where the parade started 3.7 miles ago. It has now made its way not only on land but into the Trocadero Stadium to be joined by the flags of the nations competing in these games. As of this writing, #BoycottOlympics, #BoycottTheOlympics, and #BoycottParis2024 were trending on X, with many people outraged by the shocking and offensive displays. One citizen of France even apologized to the world on behalf of her country: The opening ceremony of the Olympics is not even hiding the satanic rituals anymore. There is no longer anything hidden in plain sight. These are the demonic dark forces of Satan who want to eclipse the light. You can already see: - Skulls - Motifs of death - Satanic red… pic.twitter.com/0C0zsfWd1X — Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) July 26, 2024 If you still watch the Olympics after that disgusting display of anti-Christian, pedo, satanic filth in their opening ceremony - you’re a part of the problem.
