Scalise’s Family Releases Emotional Statement – His Family Needs Your Prayers

Jennifer Scalise, the wife of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), released a statement Friday thanking supporters for an “incredible amount of prayers” two days after Scalise was shot during a congressional GOP baseball practice.

Scalise and four others were injured Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on them at a baseball field in Alexandria, Va.

In the statement, Scalise thanks Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner, who shot the suspected gunman despite both being injured themselves. Police identified the gunman as James Hodgkinson, who later died from his injuries.

“On behalf of Steve and our children, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for the incredible amount of prayers and warm wishes we have received since Wednesday’s events,” Scalise wrote. “We are especially appreciative of the strong outpouring of love and support from our neighbors, friends, from Louisiana and across the country, as well as from President Trump, Vice President Pence, and all of Steve’s colleagues who have reached out to us during this most challenging time.

“Most importantly, we are forever grateful for the heroism of Special Agents Crystal Griner and David Bailey, who saved the lives of everyone at the baseball field that morning, including Steve’s. Crystal and David have been family to us for years, and we ask that you continue to pray for their full recovery.”
The statement was read aloud at a press conference by Brett Horton, Scalise’s chief of staff. Scalise was visited in the hospital Wednesday by President Trump and Thursday by Vice President Pence.

In a statement Thursday, a hospital spokesman said Scalise’s condition was “critical with imminent risk of death” when he was admitted, but was improving after several surgeries.

Caught Red-Handed! Look Who Was Just Arrested For 103 Counts Of Anti-Trump Vandalism?!

Caught Red-Handed! Look Who Was Just Arrested For 103 Counts Of Anti-Trump Vandalism?!

America has been a witness to the damage one community organizer can do to this country after he’s served eight years as president. Barack Obama paved the way for more of the same by opening up the borders to allow more illegals to stake their claim on a portion of America, the beautiful.

They came here by the thousands without hindrance and availed themselves of all the benefits that the Democrat party promised them. Taxpayers have been forced to provide free housing, healthcare, food stamps, and education.

Now, America is paying an even bigger price from all the damage these illegals are doing. A student at the University of Connecticut was arrested after committing vandalism on university buildings with anti-Trump graffiti. The student, Eric Cruz López, is an illegal immigrant and a protester, who is now an ex-student.

Gateway Pundit has more:

Illegal Eric Cruz López was a student protester and even protested outside the Obama White House in Washington DC in February 2016.

Lopez was spotted in February leaving the areas where the vandalism occurred on various occasions.
The damage in total added up to about $4,200.
UConn police identified Cruz-Lopez through surveillance cameras and his UConn swipe card, according to a warrant. Police also installed extra cameras to help them find the vandal, reported the Hartford Courant.

Cruz-Lopez was arrested on May 7 and released without having to post bail – and is no longer enrolled at UConn.

‘I did the graffiti,’ he wrote in his police statement.

‘I am open to entering into a conversation about restitution.’

According to arrest paperwork, Cruz-Lopez is a community organizer for CT Students for a Dream, an organization that advocates on behalf of undocumented immigrants and has described himself as one too.

He has not yet entered a plea to the charges and is not represented by a lawyer. He is due back in Superior Court in Rockville on June 14.

Oftentimes illegals who are protesting will commit crimes that they know will not be prosecuted, because of the protester’s illegal status. This emboldens them to flagrantly violate American laws just to get themselves arrested which brings more attention to the illegal immigration issue.

They are already costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars for welfare entitlements, but it just compounds the problem when the cost of arresting and incarcerating them are added. Not to forget the subsequent court costs incurred later.

Pissed Off Mad Dog Mattis Just Named Our New #1 Enemy And Is Now Going After Them HARD

Pissed Off Mad Dog Mattis Just Named Our New #1 Enemy And Is Now Going After Them HARD – It’s Not ISIS

Our new Secretary of Defense James “Mad Dog” Mattis has never been known to mince words. And that fact has once again been confirmed after the statement he made when asked who is the biggest threat to the security of America and it’s people.

He warned of emerging threats to the United States and its national security from Islamic terror groups, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and even went as far as to make a reference to climate change. But his harshest criticism was for the US Congress, for failing to pass budgets on time year after year and refusing to repeal the arbitrary budget caps that legislators passed into law during the 2011 budget deadlock as part of the Budget Control Act. More widely known as sequestration.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, it refers to a legal clause that goes into effect when our federal government doesn’t pass a budget in a timely manner. It caps the spending across the board and has translated into lower budgets than the Defense Department deems necessary to pay our troops, keep our military hardware running, research and develop, and to buy new military technology.

This is what sequestration does according to Yahoo New:

What is sequestration?

Let’s get the pedantry out of the way, shall we? It’s sequestration. Sequester is a verb. Everyone from Obama on down has used “sequester” as a noun, but lest you suffer the wrath of your nit-picking friends, call it sequestration. Learn it, love it, let’s move on.
Sequestration is $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts due to go into effect over the next 10 years, with roughly $85 billion slated for this year. Make no mistake, a lot of people in both parties want to cut spending. The reason so many people hate sequestration, though, is that agencies and departments don’t have any input on how it goes into effect—the spending cuts are implemented across the board.

Whose idea was it anyway?

It’s been widely reported that the idea for sequestration came from Jack Lew, who was Obama’s budget director at the time and went on to become his chief of staff and is now his Treasury secretary nominee. But to stop there misses the point, many argue.
Sequestration was put into effect as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011. Both parties had already agreed to about $1 trillion in cuts, but couldn’t agree on what to do next to get the nation’s fiscal house in order. They were also desperate to raise the national borrowing limit to prevent a default—an occurrence that would arguably inflict more damage than sequestration. To achieve both goals—raising the borrowing limit and improving the nation’s fiscal standing—they borrowed from a Reagan-era law.

The idea was simple: schedule automatic cuts for the future that were so bad to everybody that Congress would be compelled to implement better, smarter cuts before they hit. Sequestration was initially scheduled for the start of the year. Lawmakers delayed it then, but it now seems unlikely that anything will be done before it goes into effect on March 1 (though it could be addressed retroactively).

OK, So how will it affect me?

Sequestration could affect you if you fit any of the following profiles:

Ms. Defense Department Employee

Do you work for the Pentagon? If so, you may be one of 800,000 civilian employees who face possible unpaid leave after sequestration goes into effect. “There is no mistaking that the rigid nature of the cuts forced upon this department, and their scale, will result in a serious erosion of readiness across the force,” Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta told employees in a memo last week.

Mr. Airline Passenger

Are you a fan of flying? Well, if nothing is done, airline passengers could start seeing meaningful delays by April 1 under sequestration. That’s because the Federal Aviation Administration, which is facing $600 million in cuts, may have to start furloughing thousands of employees, Transportation Secretary and former Republican lawmaker Ray Lahood said on Friday. The cuts could also lead to the closing of hundreds of air traffic control towers, making it harder for planes to land and take off.

Ms. Jane Q. Public and little Jonny Doe.

BREAKING! Unbelievable Announcement Made After What Medical Examiner Found On Congress Killer’s Body

BREAKING: Unbelievable Announcement Made After What Medical Examiner Found On Congress Killer’s Body

In the wake of the violent shooting that took place on Wednesday in a suburb of D.C., the nation is still holding its collective breath, trying to understand both the reason, and whether it will happen again. This horrendous event was obviously politically motivated, and even though the shooter was shot by security and eventually died of his wounds, we’re left wondering what made him motivated enough to do something like this and whether there are others like him ready to strike.

It’s hard to see something like this as anything other than domestic terrorism. Yes, we usually equate that phrase with those who ascribe to a particular religion, but the word “terrorism” brings with it the connotation of someone who’s attempting to manipulate a large group of people with fear. I think that would be an accurate portrayal of what this far left individual was attempting to do. He wanted to beat down the Republicans ideals with the threat of violence and death.

What’s even scarier is that this attack may have been more planned than what we even originally thought. This shooter was (thankfully) stopped at his first outburst, however, it appears as if he had an entire hit list of objectionable conservatives that he planned to eliminate. The list that was found by investigators sheds a disturbing light on the shooter’s plans.

Via Daily Caller:

“James T. Hodgkinson, the shooter who opened fire on dozens of Republican congressmen and staffers at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, had a list of Republican names in his pocket that was recovered by the FBI, The Daily Caller has learned.

The news that the shooter had a list of names suggests the shooting was not a random outburst, but instead appears to be a premeditated political assassination.

The list was written out on notepad paper and found in the shooter’s pocket, according to multiple sources with intimate knowledge of the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the investigation. The list of names included Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, TheDC has confirmed. Fox News reported after this story that Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Tennessee Rep. Scott DesJarlais and Virginia Rep. Morgan Griffith are also on the list. All six congressmen are members of the House Freedom Caucus, which contains the lower chamber’s most conservative members.
The FBI has contacted the congressmen to inform them of their inclusion on the list. Rep. Franks confirmed to Fox News that law enforcement officials have told him he is on the list.

‘For those still wondering, he didn’t hate baseball or beautiful summer mornings in June,’ White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said in reference to this article. ‘He hated Republicans.’

The FBI’s Washington field office, which is handling the investigation, provided no comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

Both Duncan and Brooks attended Wednesday’s baseball practice.
Duncan said he spoke with Hodgkinson briefly before the shooting, when the would-be assassin asked him in the parking lot if the players on the field were Republicans or Democrats. Duncan said he answered that the players were Republicans, before leaving the field. Brooks was still present on the field when Hodgkinson began shooting with a rifle, wounding four people including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. The gunman died after being shot by a member of Scalise’s security detail.
The FBI also recovered a cell phone, a computer and a camera in the shooter’s van and is processing the items, according to a statement the agency issued on Thursday.

A 66-year-old progressive who volunteered on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign, Hodgkinson’s social media profile was filled with violent-sounding rhetoric against the Republican Party. “It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co,” Hodgkinson wrote in one post. He also belonged to several anti-GOP groups on Facebook, including one called “Terminate The Republican Party.” The members of that group celebrated Hodgkinson’s mass assassination

Boss Tells Muslim Her Burka Isn’t Safe For New Job Duties – Here’s What Happened When She Didn’t Listen

Another scumbag Muslim strikes again. This time in Canada, where the Muslim population is less than 4% but they still believe they are special and need special treatment.

An Edmonton Muslim woman who can’t seem to be able to live in the 21st century with the rest of us was fired from her oilsands job after raising concerns about so-called Islamophobia. She claimed multiple co-workers stated the fact that it might be a hazard to this Religion of Peace disciple if she insists on wearing her burqa in while performing the duties she was hired to perform.
Social Justice Liberals, of course, got wind of the situation and since they always seem to be on the side that opposes the civilized world, they urged Calgary-based Husky Oil company to address workplace discrimination and offer Amino Rashid and two colleagues who were also fired, new jobs.
