In a letter to the FBI, suspected political assassin Vance Luther Boelter blamed Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the June 14 shooting rampage that killed a key Democratic House member and her husband and seriously wounded a Democratic state senator and his wife.Liz Collin of Alpha News broke the story Friday, citing “multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.”Gov. Tim Walz said Democrats should ‘bully the s**t out of’ President Trump.The story said that a confession letter that Boelter left in a Buick sedan he abandoned June 15 during his flight from police places the blame for the massacre on the governor. The letter was addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, Alpha News wrote. The story does not elaborate further on the letter contents.Boelter was charged in federal court June 16 with the stalking and assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn Park) and her husband, Mark Hortman. They were gunned down inside the front door of their home that backs up to Edinburgh Golf Course in Brooklyn Park. Boelter is charged with two additional felony counts for use of a firearm in furtherance of the murders. He could face the death penalty.Boelter is also charged with a firearms offense for allegedly pumping 17 bullets into state Sen. John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin) and his wife, Yvonne Hoffman, just inside the entry to their home about five miles from the Hortman residence. They are recovering from the wounds. A GoFundMe account was set up to aid them in their lengthy recovery.RELATED: Phone associated with accused assassin’s home traveled to Dubai, Nepal, India, and Turkey, report says Vance Luther Boelter allegedly sought to kill 4 Minnesota lawmakers in the overnight hours on June 14, 2025.Photos by FBI and Liz Collin/Alpha News According to charging documents filed in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, after Boelter allegedly shot the Hoffmans, he went to the homes of two other Democratic lawmakers, state Rep. Kristin Bahner (DFL-Maple Grove) and state Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope). Bahner was not home. New Hope police rushing to check on Sen. Rest scared off Boelter, who was sitting in his parked SUV a block away.Boelter was dressed in a police uniform and tactical vest with body armor, the FBI said. He wore a “hyper-realistic” silicone mask that covered his entire head and carried a tactical flashlight. Boelter drove a black Ford SUV painted and detailed to look like a police vehicle, including a flashing emergency light bar on the roof. He allegedly parked the fake police vehicle in the Hortmans’ driveway with the emergency lights engaged about 3:30 a.m. June 14. He was on the front porch as cars from the Brooklyn Park Police Department pulled up to do a welfare check on the Hortmans. Boelter allegedly opened fire on the officers, then forced his way into the home and shot the couple and their golden retriever, Gilbert, the FBI said. The couple and their dog died from bullet wounds.After allegedly shooting the Hortmans, Boelter escaped out the rear of the home and went on the lam. He was seen on security video less than three hours later in the alley behind a North Minneapolis home where he sublets a room. There was a second black Ford SUV parked near the home’s garage. Boelter is shown on video smashing the front passenger window with a blunt object before leaving the area.Boelter convinced a man at a nearby bus stop to sell him an e-bike. He rode the bus to the man’s house and paid him $900 for the bike and a used Buick sedan. Boelter then evaded police until 9:15 p.m. the next day, when a woman in her driveway spotted him in a field in Green Isle, some 60 miles from the North Minneapolis house. Police closed in and arrested him without incident.Boelter had earlier abandoned the Buick along Highway 25 in Belle Plaine, Minn. Police found a letter inside addressed to the FBI, along with Boelter’s cowboy hat. In the letter Boelter said he was the one police were searching for in the shooting case, court records revealed.Gov. Walz appointed Boelter to a state workforce development commission for a term that ended in 2023. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Boelter to a similar commission in 2016 for a two-year term.Walz was heavily criticized on the right for remarks about President Trump he made May 31 in which he suggested Democrats “be a little more fierce” and “bully the s*** out of him.” He referred to the president as an “existential threat.”Boelter is being held without bail in federal custody. He is scheduled to be in court in St. Paul on June 27.Blaze News reached out to Governor Walz's office, the U.S. attorney in Minneapolis, and the FBI in Brooklyn Center, Minn.

A visa specialist who worked for the U.S. State Department is out of a job after getting caught on undercover video admitting that he was helping migrants find legal loopholes to stay in the country.The video shows a man named Arslan Akhtar spilling his guts in a restaurant to a woman who works with the O'Keefe Media Group.'I would prefer him to be dragged out of the building with his hair plugs ... and lynched on the street. We need a public justice, I think. That’s really what we need. We need a healthy dose of public justice.'Akhtar also expressed thoughts and beliefs described as "virulent antisemitic, anti-American, and anti-Israel views" by the undercover group.“I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I’m like, ‘Don’t talk to the police.’ Don’t admit the truth. ... If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut,” said Akhtar at one point.“That’s the best advice I could possibly give to those guys, because the good people get taken advantage of. Our immigration system can be really cruel," he added.He said that he worked with a lot of Jewish people, and he called them "terrible" as well as "garbage people."In another embarrassing moment, the man says that he hates Yemeni people because they are so deceptive on the visa application process and identifies other groups he has animosity against.“I hate [Yemenis] with a passion. They’re such awful people in the application process. They are the most conniving group of folks, next to Indians," he said. "Oh, Bangladeshi people, they’re awful.”He also advocated for shocking violence against billionaire Elon Musk.“I would prefer him to be dragged out of the building with his hair plugs ... and lynched on the street," Akhtar said. "We need a public justice, I think. That’s really what we need. We need a healthy dose of public justice.”RELATED: Illegal alien activist group demands Phoenix end 'racist' police stops on broken taillights and tinted windows Photo by Selcuk Acar/Anadolu via Getty Images At one point, the man joked that he didn't want the woman to become a journalist after hearing his comments and "run with the story." The report said that Akhtar denied that any of his views led to bias in the performance of his job. OMG obtained a statement from the State Department about the video.“The contractor is no longer employed by the U.S. State Department," the statement reads.

Trump White House Slams Media for Fake News About DNI Tulsi Gabbard's Testimony on Iran

My bingo card for this month did not include OpenAI telling the world that future frontier AI models coming to ChatGPT will know how to make bioweapons or novel biothreats, but here we are. We can add this capability to the growing list of issues that give us reason to worry about a future where AI reaches superintelligence. However, it’s not as bad as it sounds. OpenAI is giving us this warning now to explain what it’s doing to prevent future versions of ChatGPT from helping bad actors devise bioweapons. OpenAI wants to be in control of teaching advanced biology and chemistry to its AI models rather than ensuring ChatGPT never gets trained with such data. The better understanding of biology and chemistry ChatGPT has, the easier it’ll be to assist humans in devising new medications and treatment plans. More advanced versions of ChatGPT might then come up with innovations on their own once superintelligence is reached. Providing support for creating bioweapons is just a side effect. That’s why OpenAI’s work on ensuring ChatGPT can’t provide assistance to anyone looking to make improvised biothreats has to start now. Continue reading...
