Unfortunately, it is being reported that shooting victim Majority Whip Steve Scalise has now had a second surgery and may need a third. Rep. Scalise is still in critical condition as he is treated at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C.
Additionally, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have visited his family in the hospital.

2016 GOP Baseball Team Pictured
At approximately 7:00am this morning a man named James T Hodgkisson (66) opened fire on a group of republican congressmen, staff and associates who were practicing for an upcoming congressional baseball game. (Details)
The dramatic eye-witness video (and audio) below captures most of the event:
Treeper SharkFL has captured and provided a fully archived Facebook download of DC shooter James T Hodgkison (66). The 461 page file is converted to pdf format and embedded below. Hodgkison was a worker for the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders, and a resident of Illinois.
Last week Senator Bernie Sanders appeared at an event in Illinois called the “People’s Summit”, a convention in Chicago, where he called for his supporters to rise up and take over the Democrat party. Senator Sanders called on his supporters to move the party and “fight for social and economic justice,” and to “take down President Trump.”
James Hodgkison was also a resident of Illinois and traveled to Washington DC in order to assassinate Republican politicians. It is unknown if he attended The People’s Summit the week earlier. However, he opened fire on a group of republican congressman who were part of a baseball team during early morning practice on June 14th.

It will be interesting to see if the Democrats on Capitol Hill continue supporting political violence against President Trump and Republicans now that their supporters have started shooting people.
GOP House Majority Whip Steve Scalise is in a stable condition after a rabid left-wing activist named James Hodgkinso, 66, opened fire upon the house republican baseball team during practice Wednesday morning.
James T. Hodgkinson was a former campaign volunteer for Bernie Sanders. After asking if those practicing were Democrats or Republicans, he opened fire on players with a high powered rifle from the third base dugout (Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia) The group was taking grounders and practicing batting at around 7.00am.
Zachary Barth, a congressional staffer for Texas Rep. Roger Williams, was also shot but is expected to fully recover. Two US Capitol Police officers who were accompanying Scalise were wounded as they exchanged fire with the gunman. They are both in a ‘good condition’ in hospital.
Jurors in the case against Minnesota police officer Jeronimo Yanez for the shooting death of Philando Castile began deliberations this afternoon. No verdict was determined and the jury will continue deliberating tomorrow. Yanez is charged in Ramsey County with second-degree manslaughter and two counts of reckless discharge of a firearm for shooting Castile in Falcon Heights.
Officer Jeronimo Yanez fatally shot Philando Castile, a 32-year-old cafeteria worker during a traffic stop on July 6, 2016. The shooting drew widespread national attention because Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, livestreamed the aftermath on Facebook.
Minnesota – […] Defense attorney Earl Gray told jurors that the state “failed miserably” in presenting its case. He emphasized the defense’s main contention: that Castile failed to follow orders because he was too stoned from smoking marijuana and grabbed a gun in his right pocket, forcing Yanez to shoot.
During a segment on Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan questioned Islamopologist London Mayor Sadiq Khan about the current location of 400 known London Jihadists that traveled to Syria for terrorist training.
Notice the very end of the video snippet:
…. the most recent terrorists “had not come from overseas; they were, for all intents and purposes, integrated into our way of life“…
Really?
That’s an interesting way of looking at it. The most recent London terrorists who ran people over and chopped people up were “integrated into our way of life“.
Alrighty then.
Random video footage surfaces showing heavily-armed London police stopping a sketchy fellow and checking his backpack in east London on Monday – barely a day after the London Bridge attack.
According to video loader – The incident occurred on a side street near East Ham on Monday. The footage shows six police officers surrounding the man before opening his duffel bag (backpack) to reveal several machetes in a plastic bag.

We don’t normally share these stories, but there’s so many layers to it -including warnings about how everything you do and say has the potential to be recorded and forever alter your life- well, it deserves some attention/discussion.

Journalist Colleen Campbell called work at PHL 17 to tell her boss why she was unable to come to work. [It is unknown whether she told her boss she was in jail.] Ms. Campbell was surprised to discover she was fired.
There was video. “Video, what video”? She protested.
In the aftermath of the still rolling out consequences she is now sharing feelings of being “ruined”; sound familiar.
Here’s the video. (Warning, salty language alert):

[The police officer showed a remarkable amount of restraint. God Bless our police.]
Terrible behavior you say? ….Oh, but it gets worse.
