A 16-year-old skateboarder used her platform at the Paris Olympics on Sunday to push the message of Christianity. Rayssa Leal, competing for Brazil in the women’s final, looked into a camera and signed the Bible verse John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” Leal, who is Catholic, ended up medaling, taking home the bronze. She told reporters after her performance, “Once again, thank God I won a medal. I’m very happy to be here.” WATCH: ??BREAKING: Rayssa Leal, a Catholic skater won a Bronze Medal at the Paris World Olympics and she allegedly was told she wasn’t allowed to praise Jesus Christ.

Rule 50 of the International Olympic Committee says Olympic venues and podiums must be “neutral and free from any form of political, religious, or ethnic demonstrations.” Leal’s messaging comes in stark contrast to the controversial opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, which made a mockery of the Last Supper, the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples. As highlighted by The Daily Wire, the ceremonies featured a parody of The Last Supper with an obese woman wearing an aureole as Jesus surrounded by drag queens as the Apostles, a decapitated head representing Marie Antoinette of the French Revolution, and drag queens dancing around children.

You think anyone takes that seriously?” Barron said in a viral video. Related: Bishop Robert Barron Rips Olympics’ ‘Condescending’ Apology For Blasphemous Last Supper Scene

Joe Rogan called out the legacy media’s flip-flop for Vice President Kamala Harris days after President Joe Biden stepped out of the race and endorsed her for president. During “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on Tuesday, the host and his guest commentator/author Michael Malice talked about how tech and media have gone all-in for Harris. (42:16) “Everybody forever was like Kamala Harris is the worst Vice President,” Rogan said. “She’s the least popular vice president of all time and then in a moment, a moment in time, all of a sudden, she’s our solution.” “She’s our hero,” he added. “Everybody’s with her. All these social media posts about her, try Googling a negative story on her, you won’t find one. Ta-da!” “It’s just so wild that the media’s all behind her now,” Rogan continued, calling out the 180 switch of journalists on the VP. Malice noted that when Harris had tried to run for president in 2020, she “didn’t even make Iowa.”  The two debated why Harris is who the Democratic party is pushing when Tulsi Gabbard, who destroyed Harris in the Democratic primary, exists. “Well, it just shows you that what they’re looking for is not what they say they’re looking for,” Rogan said. “Because she [Tulsi] is a strong woman. She is a person who served overseas twice in a medical unit. So she got to see people blown up by the war. She was a congresswoman for eight years.” “She is a person of color,” he added. “She’s everything you want, all those things you want, and yet you don’t want her …” Malice added, “because [Gabbard’s] not for war.” “Yes, well, she’s also just not willing to play ball,” Rogan replied. “There’s a game that’s being played, and if you’re like, ‘hey, you’re not supposed to f***ing move the ball.’ Like, oh, look at this b*tch over here. Like, get out of here. You’re gonna f*** up our game. It’s not real democracy. It’s controlled parties.” Later in the show, Rogan suggested the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 would not be the only one and said he thinks Trump will beat Harris in a debate, “if he lives.” (2:23:23) Rogan asked Malice, “Do you think they are going to try to take him [Trump] out again?” His guest didn’t hesitate and said “Yes.”  “I think if they did that, this is not the only time they’re gonna do that,” Rogan added. Neither one ever explained who “they” meant.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednseday flipped the script on an ABC reporter who asked him about pardoning January 6 protesters. Trump appeared in person at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention on Wednesday, where his exchanges with ABC News’ Rachel Scott turned heated. “You’ve called yourself the candidate of law and order,” Scott said, noting that Trump has said he would consider pardoning all January 6 protesters despite police officers getting assaulted that day. Trump gives masterful response to a gotcha question about J6: "Let me bring it back to modern day, like about five days ago. We had a horrible attack on the Capitol. People spraying these incredible monuments with red paint that will never actually come off, especially on the… pic.twitter.com/HLOunJiI5Y — TheBlaze (@theblaze) July 31, 2024 “Were the people who assaulted those 140 officers, including those I just mentioned, patriots who deserve pardons?” Scott asked. “Well, let me bring it back to modern day, like about five days ago,” Trump responded. “We had an attack on the Capitol, a horrible attack on the Capitol,” he continued, referencing the anti-Israel protests in Washington, D.C., over the past week. “You saw the people that were protesting and spraying these incredible monuments, bells, lions, all this magnificent limestone and granite with red paint, red spray paint that will never actually come off, especially on the limestone. I’m a builder. I know about this stuff. You’ll see it in a hundred years from now. They viscously attacked our government. They fought with police. They fought with them much more openly than I saw on January 6th. What’s going to happen to those people?” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump said he would “absolutely” pardon the January 6 protesters. “If they’re innocent, I would pardon them.” “They’ve been convicted,” Scott retorted. “Well, they were convicted by a very tough system,” Trump said. Trump continued, referencing the 2020 riots that erupted across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death. “What’s going to happen to the people in Portland that destroyed that city?” the former president asked. “How come the people that tried to burn down Minneapolis, how come the people that took over a large percentage of Seattle, how come nothing happened to them?” “No no no, we’re talking about federal buildings,” Trump said as Scott tried to interrupt. Trump also referenced Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was fatally shot by a Capitol police officer on January 6, noting that “nobody died that day” except for Babbitt. “But people died in Seattle. Nobody died, but people died in Minneapolis,” Trump said. “And nothing happens to those people. But you went after the J6 people with a vengeance.” He also asked, “What about the police that are ushering everybody into the Capitol? Go in, go in, go in. What about that?” Trump’s appearance also started off with a heated exchange as soon as the former president sat down. Scott said she wanted to address the “elephant in the room” and proceeded to list Trump’s alleged slights against minorities, according to her. She accused him of having dinner with a “white supremacist” and “attacking” black journalists, among other things. “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question,” Trump responded. “You don’t even say, ‘Hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network. And I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I’ve done so much for the black population of this country.” The former president said he has worked to boost black employment, mentioning the Opportunity Zones program with Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), which was part of Trump’s tax cuts. The program involved a federal tax incentive for private investment in economically distressed communities. “She was very rude,” Trump said later. “She didn’t ask me a question. She gave a statement.”
