Status of Victims in Alexandria Shooting
I pulled my earlier entry, "George Washington University Hospital Spokeswoman Confirms One of the #AlexandriaShooting Victims Has Died."
However, Kevin Lewis, at WJLA-TV Channel 7 News Washington, D.C., has not corrected his tweet from this morning, "Spokeswoman w/ GWU Hospital confirms one patient has died and the other remains in critical condition..."
Frankly, besides updates on Rep. Scalise, there hasn't a lot of news on the status of the other victims. But according to CNN, the others are recovering from their injuries.

Washington (CNN): Rep. Steve Scalise, a congressional staffer and members of the Capitol police force were shot Wednesday in Alexandria, Virginia, during Republicans' early-morning practice ahead of a charity baseball game.
President Donald Trump said the alleged gunman had been killed. Federal law enforcement officials identified the alleged shooter as James Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Illinois.
At least six people including Scalise, the third ranking member of House Republican leadership as the majority whip, were hospitalized.
Scalise was in critical condition after surgery, according to So Young Pak, spokeswoman for MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Scalise is out of his first surgery, according to a Scalise aide. It is not clear if he will have a second surgery. His wife Jennifer and their two young children are traveling up from New Orleans to Washington now to be with him.
A congressional staffer, Zach Barth, was also shot in the leg and has since been released from the hospital. Matt Mika, a lobbyist for Tyson Foods and former staffer, was also identified as one of the victims. He was out of surgery and in critical condition as of Wednesday afternoon, according to a statement from his family.
House Speaker Paul Ryan also identified two members of the Capitol Police who were injured, Crystal Griner and David Bailey. In a statement, Capitol Police said Griner was in "good condition in the hospital having been shot in the ankle," and that Bailey "was treated and released having sustained a minor injury during the incident."
Rep. Roger Williams, a Texas Republican, was also hospitalized and released with an injury to his ankle.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Mika was in surgery and in critical condition, according to a statement from his family...

The accused shooter who was killed during gunfire at practice for a congressional baseball game Wednesday morning was from Belleville.More.
The shooter was James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, who belonged to a number of anti-Republican groups, including one called “Terminate the Republican Party.”
President Donald Trump said Hodgkinson died during gunfire exchanged with congressional security workers.
Hodgkinson, 66, owned a home-inspection business. Hodgkinson was a licensed home inspector from 1994 to 1997, when his license expired, according to records from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. He also held a license from 2003 to 2016, but it was not renewed.
Two days ago, Hodgkinson posted an angry tweet about President Donald Trump on Facebook.
“I Want to Say Mr. President, for being an ass hole you are Truly the Biggest Ass Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office,” he wrote on Facebook.
Hodgkinson is a member of a number of anti-Republican groups on Facebook, including one called “Terminate the Republican Party.”
▪ “The Road to Hell is Paved with Republicans”
▪ “Donald Trump is not my President”
▪ “President Bernie Sanders”
▪ “Illinois Berners United to Resist Trump”
▪ “Boycott the Republican Party”
▪ “Expose Republican Fraud”
▪ “Terminate the Republican Party”
The FBI was investigating Hodgkinson’s postings on social media. Agents from the FBI and other federal investigators arrived Wednesday morning at Hodgkinson’s two-story home on the outskirts of Belleville. Spokesman Dillon McConnell of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said the agency is “conducting emergency traces for a handgun and a rifle,” but declined to identify the weapons types.
Hodgkinson took a Democratic ballot in the primary election in 2016.
In 2012, Hodgkinson took part in a protest outside the downtown Belleville post office. He said he was part of a “99%” team drawing attention to the amount of money and political power the top 1 percent of Americans acquired.
Aaron Meurer is a neighbor of the Hodgkinsons and said he noticed in the last two months James had been gone. The alleged shooter’s wife Suzanne told him her husband was travelling.
“She said that he went on a trip. She wasn’t real specific,” said Meurer, unclear whether the couple had split up recently.”He’s been gone for the last two months, so I haven’t seen him around too often.”
Meurer said he occasionally cut his neighbor’s grass to help out. He didn’t know the neighbors well, just socialized from the lawn, and said his neighbor would fire guns on his rural property, commonplace in the open area outside of Belleville...
#AlexandriaShooting: Democrat Suspect James Hodgkinson Killed After Opening Fire on Republican Lawmakers
I woke up a few minutes before 6:00am on the West Coast, and checked my phone only to see the news of the Alexandria shooting on Twitter.
I got up and made coffee. I watched the news and tweeted for three hours. It's almost too classic a story-line, given the relentless, literally 24/7 climate of hate against conservatives, Republicans, and --- most of all --- President Trump.
Now leftists are declaiming any responsibly for the assassination chic they've been promoting and glorifying, and they're denouncing efforts to "politicize" the shooting. I can't be calm and quiet in a time like this. My tweeting was extremely reserved, mainly because I've been waiting for the facts and trying to comprehend what happened. But watching the congressional statements on TV a few minutes ago, I don't know if I'd have been able to get up there lyricize about our "common humanity." I don't believe we have a common humanity. The shooter, James T. Hodgkinson, was a fire-breathing anti-Trump fanatic. He was a Democrat Party volunteer for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The Democrat Party leftist establishment has blood on its hands. One of the victims has died. The shooter was killed by police on the scene. When I read news that children as young as 10-years-old were on the scene, ducking out of the line of fire, my eyes got a little misty. This isn't the way it should be in this country, but it's not surprising. We're in a civil war. It's a cultural civil war, to be sure, but it's increasingly becoming a martial civil war involving guns, bombs, knives, and a specific left-wing ideological campaign to murder political enemies. And indeed this violent agitation is coming exclusively from the left. The Democrats are the Antifa party in Washington, and they're facilitating violence, along with the so-called cultural "elite," like Kathy Griffin and the theater ensemble putting on "Shakespeare in the Park" in New York, where "Caesar" is "President Trump" who is bloodily stabbed to death.
It's a climate of hate and it's bringing about its intended death and destruction. So, let's not have some stupid far-left "Imagine" moment where we all hold hands and throw daisy-chains in the air. This is serious business. If I were in Congress I'd call it like it is and hold my colleagues accountable for promoting political assassination.
There's a time for comity and uplift. There's a time for grieving. But there's also a time for outrage. Let's put the focus on where it should be, and that's on the left's campaign of obstruction, destruction, and targeted political killings of ideological opponents. Enough is enough indeed.

NBC News Star Katy Tur 'Doesn't Support the LGBT Community'
There's all kinds of controversy with this woman.
She was featured in a big New York Times puff-piece the other day, notes NewsBusters, "Poised, Witty, Truth-Teller to Trump: NY Times Gurgles Over 'Katy Tur on the Rise'."
Folks on Twitter attacked the Times for its "sexist" headline, so the editors changed it, of course. See Poynter, "The New York Times has changed the headline on its Katy Tur profile (again)." (Also at the Hill.)
And now her dad's attacking her as a transphobe. That's gotta hurt, considering her dad's now a trans woman. At Mediaite, "Zoey Tur Slams Daughter Katy Tur for Being 'Transphobic' in Blistering Facebook Post."
Frankly, Ms. Katy's often seen on MSNBC, which is far-left. So that "transphobic" slur's gonna leave a mark.

New Gallup poll tells a tale on the state of our culture, and it’s not good https://t.co/ZTw4tH2q5i— LifeSiteNews.com (@LifeSite) June 13, 2017
Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am not a pessimist; however, what I am going to say might cause angst among some in the pro-life and pro-family movement, especially Catholics.
A recent Gallup poll exposed three terrible truths. First, we are not succeeding in transforming hearts and minds to cultivate and sustain a Culture of Life. Second, we are losing the younger generation to materialism, secularism and moral relativism. Third, the moral compass and Christian conscience in America is systematically being phased out of existence while indifference and tolerance of evil fill the void.
I readily admit that I usually place little emphasis upon polls; however, the results of this survey highlight and parallel trends we see around the world. Societies are radically rejecting centuries of Judeo-Christian beliefs concerning life and family while embracing a secular view of life and the human person.
How did we get here? It's been a slow fade. The acceptance of homosexual marriage. Normalizing it. Flaunting it. Adoring it like a god. https://t.co/HEarItXX5J
— Terri Green (@TerriGreenUSA) June 13, 2017
And don't forget normalizing transgender ideology and depravity. Christian values are playing defense. It's an assault on decency.
