Former Coast Guard Lieutenant and Sharpshooter Who Identifies as Antifa Arrested For Threatening to Kill Trump

A former Coast Guard Lieutenant and sharpshooter who self-identifies as Antifa was arrested for threatening to kill President Trump, according to CBS News.

CBS News reported:

A former Coast Guard lieutenant and sharpshooter has been arrested for allegedly making threats to kill President Trump.

A 19-page Federal Bureau of Investigation affidavit lists out scores of alleged social media threats by Peter Stinson, who served 33 years in the U.S. Coast Guard through 2021, and also served as a Federal Emergency Management Agency instructor.

The social media posts quoted in charging documents, which span from 2020 to 2025, include online statements that suggested using a gun, a knife and poison against Mr. Trump. In several cases, Stinson allegedly said he didn’t have the skills to kill Mr. Trump himself, but said he’s willing to “serve in a support capacity” or raise money for a “contract hit.”

Federal investigators also allege within 48 hours of the 2024 attempted assassination of Mr. Trump in Butler, Pa., Stinson posted: “Just three inches and today would be a different day,” followed by criticisms of the shooter’s skills.

According to an affidavit, Pete Stinson posted the threats against President Trump to X and BlueSky between 2020 and 2025.

Stinson used a series of code names for Trump including “the orange,” “orange mf,” “orange thug,” “Krasnov,” “tfg,” “one ear,” or an orange emoji.

Minn. shooting suspect Vance Boelter ran bogus security company and faced ‘struggles’ after prolonged stint in Africa, roommate says

Suspected assassin Vance Boelter fronted a security firm that his best friend said never existed and experienced “struggles” after returning from a three-year trip to Africa months before he allegedly turned his gun on a pair of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.

Federal and state authorities are on the hunt for Boelter, 57, who allegedly disguised himself as a cop before executing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday, just prior to shooting and seriously wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in their house.

Authorities are closing in on Boelter after his car was found in a rural area near his home — and neighbors reported hearing gunshots.

Friends and roommates described the accused gunman as a quiet, intelligent family man who rarely discussed politics.

THEY GOT HIM: Minnesota Shooter Vance Boelter Apprehended

The manhunt is over. Vance Boelter—the suspect in the shocking assassination-style shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers—has been taken into custody. Authorities say he was arrested in rural Sibley County, Minnesota.

Boelter shot and killed Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark early Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also targeted in a similar attack at their home in Champlin. 

The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News that Boelter “verbally” identified himself to authorities Sunday evening.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office posted a photo of his arrest, calling it “the face of evil.” “After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody,” the department said. “Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer.”

Who Is Vance Boelter, The Minnesota Shooter?

Once again narratives have been locked in concrete and the shooter was just apprehended.

He’s a “Trump Supporter” but he had “No Kings” flyers

He’s a Pro-Lifer but he shot members of the State Legislature that just voted to deny State aid to illegal aliens.

He’s MAGA but he was appointed into his position by Democrat Governors

If all six are true, Vance is really psychologically and ideologically messed up. Kind of like the Ryan Routh in Palm Beach, FL or Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, PA

So is there targeted, programmed, mass psychosis going on? Likely

But we also have corrupt media issuing narratives, motives, and agendas and we know little about what’s going on yet. This is likely part of the targeted mass psychosis.

I was enjoying a morning at the Army 250th Anniversary on the mall when I first heard this story.

There were a handful, maybe six “No Kings” activists inside the secure areas in Washington, D.C. except for one screaming Latina who said it wasn’t her country that started World War I or II or any other War (she didn’t say which country she was from so I cannot gauge the truth of her comment), the other five where white, liberal losers, standing silently with their signs except for one meathead that placed his sign on the ground so aliens in UFOs could conveniently read his sign (He’s not getting his $200/day for this stunt).

Minnesota Suspected ShooterPolice Locate Abandoned Vehicle… Roughly 50 Miles From Where Shootings Occurred

Police have discovered a car they believe Vance Boelter — the suspect in the shootings that left one Minnesota politician dead and another gravely injured — was driving … abandoned far from the scenes of the crimes.

The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told CNN … they found the car they believe Boelter was driving about 50 miles southwest of the Twin Cities Sunday morning. The shootings occurred in Brooklyn Park and Champlin — two suburbs of Minneapolis.

CBS reports that a discarded cowboy hat was found near the vehicle. Remember, a photo obtained by law enforcement yesterday showed Boelter in a Minneapolis business with a cowboy hat on. Unclear if this is the same one.

While there isn’t currently a shelter-in-place order in the area, deputies are asking citizens to exercise caution and stay vigilant.

Yesterday, Vance’s wife — Jenny Boelter — was pulled over and detained just hours after the shooting occurred, according to 5 Eyewitness News, citing law enforcement sources. Cops allegedly found a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports in the car.

Roommate Reveals the Chilling Text Message Vance Boelter Left After Allegedly Assassinating Minnesota State Democrat Lawmaker and Her Husband

The best friend and roommate of the person who allegedly killed a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband while dressed up as a police officer has revealed the chilling words of the suspect right after the attack was carried out.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, two Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party lawmakers and their spouses were shot in ‘targeted’ attacks at their homes early Saturday by a man dressed as a police officer.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press briefing that Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed in the shootings. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were seriously wounded. Walz called the shootings “targeted” attacks.

57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter was later identified as the suspect in these attacks. As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald notes, Boelter was a Tim Walz appointee and led an international security firm.

Now, David Carlson, the best friend and roommate of Boelter, shared a text message revealing the suspect’s final words before the attack. The message was reportedly received around 6 a.m. Saturday, shortly after former Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot.

Multiple Minnesota media outlets, including the Minnesota Star Tribune, recorded the video. The message is quite cryptic and chilling.

“David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way,” Carlson read from his phone while sitting on his porch steps.

“I don’t want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this. But I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused,” the message continued.

Israel Opens The Door to Assassinating Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei

Israel is opening the door to assassinating Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

According to The Wall Street Journal, an Israeli official said that assasinating the theocratic leader was “not off limits.”

“The war would only end either with Iran voluntarily dismantling its nuclear program or Israel making it impossible for Tehran to reconstitute it,” the official was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, an official told Amit Segal of Israel’s N12 News channel that Israel would not rule out the possibility of an assassinaiton attempt.

“Israel is not ruling out the possibility of eliminating Ali Khamenei, but it depends on many things.”

The warning comes after Israel launched a series of missile strikes against Iranian targets on Thursday evening, with a particular focus on eliminating the country’s nuclear program.

This prompted Tehran to retaliate with a series of their own missile strikes, although so far they have been largely unsucessful.

Media Critics Call on CNN to Fire Brian Stelter Over Reckless Tweet Following Minnesota Shooting

Two media critics are calling on CNN to fire ‘media reporter’ Brian Stelter over a reckless tweet in which he clearly tried to politicize the recent shooting of two Democrats in Minnesota by an appointee of Governor Tim Walz.

Before all of the facts were even known about the shooting, CNN correspondent Edward-Isaac Dovere tweeted:

“In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city,the president has called for a gov to be arrested &the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned & handcuffed, and 2 state legislators have been shot in their homes.”

Brian Stelter then quote tweeted that message, saying:

“And it all points in the same direction.”

Stephen L. Miller, who hosts a media criticism podcast on Substack named ‘Versus Media’ called for Stelter’s firing over this.

Miller made the point that this was actually worse than a reckless tweet that just got reporter Terry Moran fired from ABC News.

Minnesota Lawmaker ShootingsPerson of Interest Vance Boelter Works in Security …Trained By Military Personnel, Private Firms

Vance Boelter — the man authorities say is a person of interest in the fatal shooting of a Minnesota politician — has training from military personnel and experience with security situations in foreign countries.

A profile for Boelter on the Praetorian Guard Security Services website lists him as the Director of Security Patrols … and, it describes his various experiences in the security field.

According to the site, Boelter has “been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.”

He is also said to have training from both private security firms and people in the U.S. military … though it does not say he served in the armed services himself.

Worth noting … we don’t know who wrote this profile or if it’s at all embellished — but, it gives an insight into how the company was marketing Vance and his experiences.

Boelter has allegedly worked for large corporations in the U.S., Switzerland and Japan … and, the profile ends by adding his experience will ensure the security service provided “covers the needs you have to keep your family and property safe.”

It appears Vance works alongside his wife, Jenny, in the company where she serves as CEO. TMZ reached out to her for comment … so far, now word back.

The company offers a variety of services — and appears to outfit personnel in tactical gear — and offers SUVs with flashing lights.
