Sgt. 1st Class Dana Bowman, is a former Special Forces soldier and a member of the Army’s Golden Knights parachute team, which is also how he lost his legs. He suffered the injuries in a mid-air collision during a Golden Knights training incident that left a fellow skydiver dead.

According to the Defense Department, he was the first double-amputee to reenlist.

He has 4,000 jumps under his belt, many of them after the accident, according to Black Hills Fox, a South Dakota station.

Bowman has done over 4,000 parachute jumps from an airplane. Friday he parachuted in with the American Flag at the Veterans Ride.

WATCH: Governors Closed Their Churches, So Christians Are Getting Creative; Church Defies COVID Order With Indoor Service

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. As lawmakers across the country slowly rollback their COVID-19 lockdown mandates, governors in several states have refused to lift restrictions on houses of worship. Christians have finally had enough.

Earlier this week, a tweet showing Christians gathered for a time of prayer and worship at a Las Vegas casino went viral. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak has allowed casinos to reopen with precautions while keeping churches shuttered. The event was hosted by Evangelicals for Trump, said Faith and Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed. . .

In Pennsylvania, Christians gathered for worship in the grocery aisles of a Walmart near Pittsburgh. Gov. Tom Wolf has restricted church gatherings since April when he issued guidance urging religious leaders to “find alternatives” to in-person gatherings and directing individuals to “not gather in religious buildings or homes for services or celebrations until the stay at home order is lifted.”

California Church Defies Coronavirus Order With Indoor Service

By Washington Times. A California church held an indoor worship service Sunday morning despite a judge’s temporary restraining order barring the church from doing so.

Pastor Rob McCoy led a 9 a.m. service in defiance of coronavirus health orders at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Ventura County’s Newbury Park. McCoy had vowed Friday to continue in-person services even though the judge’s order cited “an immediate threat to public health and safety due to the 2019 novel coronavirus.”

A livestream of the morning’s service showed a mask-less McCoy and a musician standing before at least two dozen worshipers – most of whom were also not wearing masks. It was not clear from the livestream if they were standing 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart.

The congregation sang to McCoy for his birthday Monday, even though state health officials say singing increases the likelihood for transmission of the virus. (Read more from “California Church Defies Coronavirus Order With Indoor Service” HERE)

WATCH: Trump Wrecks Reporter Who Complains About Crowd Size at Press Conference

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Friday was a big news day, so the president held a press conference at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, to discuss the latest developments. . .

Dozens of onlookers at Trump’s golf course gathered in the room as the president also discussed the encouraging data coming out of coronavirus hotspots in the south, the better-than-expected July jobs report, the violent explosion in Beirut and the U.S. assistance being dispatched to the region, as well as a number of other items.

It was a lot to digest, and the burning question on top of one liberal reporter’s mind was, why weren’t the onlookers practicing social distancing? According to the reporter, the whole crowd was in violation of New Jersey’s rules regarding large gatherings.

“You’re wrong on that,” the president shot back, “because it’s a political activity … and it’s also a peaceful protest.” The crowd erupted in cheers at the president’s comparison.

Silent Majority Roars in Seattle: Massive Pro-Police Rally Held Ahead of Defund the Police Vote (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .City residents turned out in droves for a “Back the Blue” rally outside city hall ahead of a major vote on Monday that would take funding away from the city’s police department.

Videos and photographs posted to social media showed what appeared to be thousands of people outside Seattle City Hall, adorned in blue shirts and holding signs to show support for law enforcement.

Seattle resident John Balph, who said that police reforms are needed and called Black Lives Matter “a very worthy movement,” said that defunding the police department is a “haphazard” prospect.

“There’s bad enough news from the White House and Trump,” Balph told the Seattle Times. “But it’s depressing to live in Seattle right now.”

“Is this the city the council wants to represent, a deserted city?” he continued. “It’s not the Seattle I want to live in. But average citizens can’t do anything about it. It’s very frustrating.” (Read more from “Silent Majority Roars in Seattle: Massive Pro-Police Rally Held Ahead of Defund the Police Vote” HERE)

WATCH: Riot Declared in Portland After Police Union Building Set on Fire

/0 Comments/in , /by

The police union building in Portland, Oregon, was set on fire Saturday night, leading police to declare a riot and order the area cleared. Federal authorities left the city at the end of July after weeks of violent clashes between them and protesters, and local leaders have hoped for calm after the federal agents withdrew. . .

Police said there were several protests on Saturday that were peaceful, but a small group lit a fire at the Portland Police Association (PPA) building. According to The Oregonian, it’s the second time a fire has been lit at the police union building, a regular site of protests since they began in late May.

According to police, the group was warned around 10:30 p.m. to “not engage in criminal activities” and disperse. “People within the crowd committed crimes when they erected a fence, pushed dumpsters into the street to block traffic, set a dumpster on fire, vandalized the PPA office with spray paint, and destroyed security cameras,” police said in a release.

At 11:35 p.m., people within the crowd broke the window of the police union offices, entered the building and then lit a fire, “committing the crimes of criminal mischief, burglary, and attempted arson,” police said. A riot was then declared and all people assembled were ordered to leave, including members of the media and legal observers.

Officers from the Oregon State Police and the Portland police tried to break up the crowd. But three officers were injured as police said the crowd started throwing bottles and paint balloons, as well as shining green laser lights, which is a crime in Oregon.

‘Back the Blue’ Mural in Tampa Vandalized by 2 Separate People, City Says

By Fox 13 Tampa. Tampa police are looking for the people who defaced a mural painted on the roadway in front of the Tampa Police Department’s downtown headquarters.

The “Back the Blue” mural was painted over the weekend, but by Wednesday morning, the mural was splattered with red paint and tar.

Officials said it appears to have happened around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Cameras caught a subject, wearing all black clothing and a black mask, getting out of the hatchback of a black vehicle. The subject poured what officials believe is tar on parts of the mural.

The vehicle was seen on camera circling the area of TPD headquarters beforehand.

Later, just after midnight, a second subject spray-painted an obscenity and “BLM” in red on a mesh, roll-up utility door on the north side of TPD’s building. The person also poured red paint on the mural. (Read more from “‘Back the Blue’ Mural in Tampa Vandalized by 2 Separate People, City Says” HERE)

WATCH: Biden Doubles Down on His Racist Comments About All Blacks Being the Same; President Trump: Biden Is ‘Against’ God

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. . .For those who may have fallen victim to the media’s covering for Joe, here’s the original racist thing that Biden said during the video call.

“Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things,” Biden said on the call that was released Thursday.

Biden believes Latinos have diversity of thought and opinion whereas African-Americans all think the same. The Biden campaign must have been thinking that surely Biden didn’t mean to say the racist thing he said when his handlers allowed Biden to expand on his controversial remarks from earlier. Oh, but were they mistaken.

“We can build an administration that reflects the full diversity of our nation and the full diversity of the Latino community,” Biden continued. “Now what I mean [by] full diversity, unlike [the] African-American community and many other communities, you’re from everywhere — from Europe, from [the] tip of South America, all the way to our border [in] Mexico, and in the Caribbean, and different background and different ethnicities — but all Latinos.”

Trump Claims Biden Is ‘Against God’ and Will ‘Hurt the Bible’

By The Hill. President Trump on Thursday claimed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, is “against God” as he levied a stream of attacks on his likely opponent in the November election.

Trump painted a grim picture of a Biden presidency during a rally-style speech to supporters on the tarmac of the Cleveland airport, claiming the former vice president would follow a radical agenda.

“Take away your guns, take away your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything,” Trump said, standing behind a podium with the presidential seal. “Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy.”

An Arkansas man who says he received a packet of unknown seeds from China has planted them — and KSFM-TV calls the burgeoning plant “wild.” . . .

Booneville, Arkansas, resident Doyle Crenshaw said he planted a nondescript — and unsolicited — package of seeds from China.

“We … planted the seeds just to see what would happen,” he told the station, revealing that the large plant — which initially grew from orange-colored flowers — is producing large, white fruits.

“Every two weeks I’d come by and put Miracle-Gro on it, and they just started growing like crazy,” he admitted.

The Booneville resident said that he only opted to plant the seeds before the USDA issued a warning against doing so to U.S. residents. (Read more from “WATCH: Arkansas Man Plants Mysterious Seeds From China” HERE)
