‘Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life’: A Moving Testimony of Faith from a 16-year-old Olympic Medalist from Brazil
At the Paris Olympics, amidst the pomp and controversy of the opening ceremony, 16-year-old Rayssa Leal from Brazil captured hearts worldwide. After clinching a bronze medal in skateboarding, Leal shared a poignant message using sign language: “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.”
The opening ceremony had sparked significant controversy by featuring a parody of “The Last Supper” and numerous references to LGBT ideology, provoking outrage among Christians globally. Amid these contentious displays, Leal’s gesture stood out as a heartfelt act of faith.
The young athlete’s bold statement quickly spread through social media, captivating audiences with her commitment to her beliefs.

A San Antonio police officer was struck during a shootout with an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the U.S. just months ago, according to reports.
Authorities responded to a domestic violence call at a residence in the Texas city at around 3 a.m. on Sunday morning.
There they encountered a man identified as Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, 25.
Police say Chacon-Gutierrez opened fire with a rifle he was brandishing, striking a female officer.
He was found dead following an ensuing shootout.

On Sunday afternoon, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported Chacon-Gutierrez was a Venezuelan national who illegally entered the U.S. in November of 2023 near Eagle Pass, Texas, which was under siege at the time.

Chacon-Gutierrez crossed the Rio Grande among a group of around 600 illegal aliens, a Department of Homeland Security source told the New York Post.
“At the time, border agents were processing him for ‘expedited removal,’ but he argued he had a fear of persecution in Venezuela so he went before an asylum officer, who rejected his claim and continued to process him for removal,” the Post reports.
“Chacon-Gutierrez, however, asked to make his claim before an immigration judge, who quickly vacated his order of removal and let his case continue.”
Chacon-Gutierrez was given a notice to appear at a hearing in April of 2026 and released into the U.S. without any conditions, records reviewed by News 4 San Antonio indicate.

UK: Child Killer Suspected of Stabbing Spree at Dance Workshop was Son of Rwandan Immigrants
The knifeman responsible for stabbing to death two young children and injuring several others attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England on Monday was a minor with a migration background, according to U.K. press reports.
Emergency services were called to Hart Street in the Merseyside town just before 12 p.m. local time following reports of a stabbing spree at a venue known for holding dance and yoga classes for children and new mothers.
Two children were murdered and nine others were stabbed when a hooded man entered the workshop and attacked attendees indiscriminately. Two adults are understood to be in critical condition in hospital after bravely attempting to protect the younger victims.
Images circulating on social media show in graphic detail the injuries of some of the younger victims, some of whom were as young as six.
BREAKING: ?? Reports that several children have been stabbed in Southport, England.
A nursery may have been targeted.
The victims were taken to three hospitals, including the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

Merseyside Police confirmed on Monday that a 17-year-old boy had been arrested in relation to the attack, which they stated was not considered to be terror-related.
The boy was described by the mainstream media as living in Banks, a village near Southport, having originally been born in the Welsh capital of Cardiff. He continues to be questioned by police and remains in custody.
The boy cannot be named for legal reasons, however, The Telegraph newspaper reported late on Monday that the suspect is the son of immigrants, having moved to Southport with his Rwandan parents at the age of six.

A name consistent with an Islamic upbringing has been circulated online which Remix News has been unable to verify.
Those at the scene on Monday said it was “like a scene from a horror movie” with local business owner Colin Parry telling PA: “The mothers are coming here now and screaming.”
“I feel sick. It’s literally a few houses down from me,” one local resident said in a voice note that has since gone viral. “There’s a holiday club, a daycare, and someone has just gone in and stabbed all the kids.
“There’s a little girl dead in the road. They’ve gone in and stabbed the kids. Who does that?” she said.
Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool declared a major incident and asked parents not to bring their children to the hospital unless it was urgent, as they were overwhelmed with dealing with the victims.
Condolences flooded in from British politicians and the Royal Family following the attack, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling the news “horrendous and deeply shocking.”
A message from His Majesty The King offered the King and Queen’s “heartfelt condolences, prayers, and deepest sympathies to the families” following the “utterly horrific incident.”

Elon Musk says Christianity is Under Threat in Response to Blasphemous Olympic Ceremony
(LifeSiteNews) — Elon Musk declared on Saturday that “Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish,” following his condemnation of the Olympics’ mocking of the Last Supper.
Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 27, 2024
On Friday, Musk called the ceremony, in which drag queens and demonic-looking figures were arranged in a grotesque parody of the Last Supper, “extremely disrespectful to Christians.” While Musk has admitted he is not religious himself, he recently described himself as “probably a cultural Christian” and “a big believer in the principles of Christianity.”
He added in his Saturday’s X post thread that he embraces Christian tenets such as “love thy neighbor as thyself (have empathy for all) and turn the other cheek (end the cycle of retribution).”
A couple of Christians replied to Musk’s X comment with the insistence that “Christianity will never perish.” Christ Jesus Himself declared that “the gates of hell will not prevail” against His Church.
Nevertheless, He made clear that Christians are to actively spread and defend the fullness of God’s truth, the Christian faith, calling on His disciples to “preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Scripture further declares that “Whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:20).
Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester wrote in response to Musk’s comment, “My mentor Cardinal Francis George remarked that the Christian faith can be lost in a single generation, if Christians aren’t vigilant. However, it won’t be Christianity that will perish, but Western Civilization. You cannot separate a tree from its roots and have the tree survive.”
Prominent public figures have since decried Friday’s ceremony, including British TV host Piers Morgan, who slammed the display on X as “appalling.”
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson called the mockery “insulting to Christian people around the world” and declared that “truth and virtue will always prevail.”
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton wrote on X that the ceremony shows “the transnational Left’s” “contempt for Western civilization.”

A recent murder in the suburbs of Washington D.C. has led to the arrests of three men, at least two of whom are illegal aliens, according to reports.
On July 20, the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) was alerted about a body in a wooded area in the town of Oakton, Virginia.
FCPD later identified the victim, who was pronounced deceased at the scene, as Nicacio Hernandez Gonzalez, 47.
On July 22, FCPD announced the arrests of Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz, 27, and Wis Alonso Sorto-Portillo, 45, both whom have “no fixed address.”
Local media later confirmed Guzman-Videz is an illegal alien from Honduras with a lengthy rap sheet.
