Antifa sharpshooter charged with threatening to kill Trump in chilling assassination plot, used copycat 8647 reference from Comey

A member of the far-left Antifa movement has been arrested for allegedly threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump.

Peter Stinson, a former Coast Guard lieutenant and sharpshooter, posted a slew of threats online, according to a 19-page FBI affidavit. He was arrested on Monday.

The Virginia resident wrote on May 9, 2025 that Trump needed to be 'Luigied,' referencing Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

He also allegedly made graphic threats against Trump on multiple social media platforms involving guns, knives and poisoning.

Stinson served in the United States Coast Guard for 33 years from 1988 until 2021. He was a sharpshooter and an instructor with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during that time.

He is listed on LinkedIn as a coordinator for the MayDay Movement, which has the goal of impeaching and removing Trump as 47th U.S. president.

Investigators claim that Stinson 'self-identified as a member of Antifa,' short for 'anti-fascist.'

Stinson also made several references online to '8647,' which government officials recognized as a reference to an Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey.

The document written by an FBI counter-terrorism task force officer stated: 'The post by Comey was interpreted in the news media as a violent threat to President Trump and prompted an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service.'

Stinson made 13 posts in reference to Comey's post, including the text '8647,' to the site Bluesky, which is the left-wing social media platform created in response to X.

To '86' means to cancel or get rid of something. Many interpreted Comey's post as a threat against Trump, who was the 45th and now the 47th president.

Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump in the ear in an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. He was taken out by counter snipers – but not before the shooter killed a rally attendee and badly injured two others.

Based on the timing of that attempt on Trump's life and Stinson's social media posts, investigators found that the former Coast Guard officer was referencing the attack when he wrote: 'A missed opportunity will not come around again.'

Stinson referenced online on February 6, 2025 that he didn't have the 'necessary skills' to carry out an assassination and claimed that many people and groups were plotting action.

He suggested, however, in other posts that he does have those skills.

Stinson received firearms training in the Coast Guard and was awarded ribbons as a sharpshooter with a pistol and rifle.

In recent years, federal prosecutors have brought charges against those who have levied threats against Trump and former President Joe Biden, as well as other government officials.

If convicted, those charged with threatening a president can face up to five years in prison. Judges can and have given out lighter sentences for those convicted.

In September, another alleged would-be assassin's plot was foiled when a Secret Service agent fired at a barrel sticking out of the bushes at Trump's Palm Beach golf course.

Ryan Wesley Routh didn't shoot his firearm before running off when shots were fired in his direction.

He was tracked down and arrested shortly after fleeing the scene.

Since the two assassination attempts, other threats have been found – including post-election plots tied to foreign entities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that two different plots to assassinate Trump's were Iranian-backed.

'These people who chant 'Death to America' tried to assassinate President Trump twice,' Netanyahu told Fox News. 'Do you want these people to have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to your cities? Of course not.'

'You just said Iran tried to assassinate President Trump twice. Do you have intel that the assassination attempts on President Trump were directly from Iran?' host Bret Baier pressed the Israeli Prime Minister.

'Through proxies, yes,' he replied. 'Through - through their intel, yes. They want to kill him. Look, he's enemy number one. He's a decisive leader.'

It was unclear if Netanyahu was referring to attempts foiled by the FBI in November.

We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.

‘We’re trying to embed’ DEI ‘across every area,’ Western Carolina University administrator tells Accuracy in Media

An administrator at Western Carolina University admitted to an Accuracy in Media hidden-camera investigator there is a “strategy” to “embed” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across the university so that lawmakers “can’t legislate it away,” despite the Board of Governors’ ban on DEI across the University of North Carolina system.

Karen Price, the Director of Institutional Assessment at Western Carolina University, told AIM’s investigator, in terms of DEI, they “are still absolutely doing all of that work;” however, in order to keep it under the radar in the “current political climate,” there is no one person in the role of Chief Diversity Officer.

DEI, however, is spread out throughout the school and “being repurposed through other positions so that we can do the work,” she said.

“Like honestly, it’s more we’re trying to embed that kind of Diversity, Equity, Inclusiveness, Inclusive Excellence, really across, like, every area should have responsibility for that,” she said. “Like, it shouldn’t just be like an office or a figurehead.”

When AIM’s investigator said, “And if you embed it, then it can’t be legislated out,” Price enthusiastically agreed.

“There you go!” she said. “Now you’re, now you’re understanding the strategy behind what it is.”

“It is easier for them to be like, well, you need to get rid of that position because it has that niche title,” she explained. “Well, if we don’t create titles, and that it’s more just the work you do, and it’s part of everything that should be centered on just being, living your mission… That you’re right, you can’t legislate it away. You can’t take away positions.”

Price told AIM’s investigator how positions and money have been dispersed to evade the DEI ban, while continuing to do DEI-related work. “I think if you saw the news, there are some places that did lose a lot of positions because they were more, less strategic, I guess, about the approach,” she said. “So we were able to take, in fact, take the monies that were there and more disperse them down to action level.”

“So, the work is still occurring very much here at Western. You just might see it called different things,” Price summarized.

“I don’t even mind pissing people off,” Price said. “But I think what it comes down to, though, is just making sure that we’re able to do the work.”

When Accuracy in Media tried to ask Western Carolina University staffers what they thought about DEI work being spread out, dispersed, and embedded throughout the university, they did not have a response.

Price admitted that DEI work is still being done at Western Carolina University under different names, throughout the school, in order to circumvent the Board of Governors’ ban. At the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the University of North Carolina at Asheville, AIM also found administrators bragging about evading the DEI ban. The administrators were removed from their positions, but that does not mean radical administrators have stopped plotting throughout the UNC system.

Go to SaveNCSchools.com to tell the Board of Governors that administrators should not be discussing how to “embed” DEI throughout the school, using different names in order to bypass the ban.

Republicans cut funding for University of Michigan by 65 percent, more than $230 million

The Michigan House of Representatives recently passed a budget that significantly reduces state funding for the University of Michigan (U-M) and Michigan State University (MSU). Originally, lawmakers proposed slashing U-M’s funding by 92% and MSU’s by 73%, citing their large endowments and what some legislators called “woke” policies2.

The final version of the bill softened those cuts but still imposed major reductions: U-M’s funding was cut by 65% ($234.4 million) and MSU’s by 18% ($56.6 million). The savings will be redistributed to Michigan’s 13 other public universities and programs like tuition grants and Native American tuition waivers1.

The budget also includes provisions that penalize universities for supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or allowing transgender women to participate in women’s sports.

JD Vance

@JDVance

Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue:

First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways–the easy way or the "other" way.

Second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of "civilian nuclear power" and "uranium enrichment." These are distinct issues. Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that. Meanwhile, they've enriched uranium far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose. They've been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is hardly a rightwing organization.

It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity. And it's still another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.

I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations. I've yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings.

Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.

He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president. And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.

But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals. Whatever he does, that is his focus.

Russia slowly being squeezed out of Syria

The new Syrian authorities has gone a long way towards gaining full recognition by the international community and as these relations get better those with Russia are getting worse. The new president, Ahmad Hussein al-Sharaa, is slowly squeezing Russia out. If forced to choose between the West and Russia, Damascus is increasingly choosing the West.

“Al-Sharaa has shown himself to be a pragmatic leader, so there is no reason to expect Damascus to exhibit excessive haste in ending its cooperation with Russia. But it will be increasingly difficult for Moscow to maintain its presence in Syria,” said Nikita Smagin, a political analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in a note.

Although Moscow was among the first to establish contact with the new Syrian authorities following the collapse of the Assad regime, the Kremlin’s leverage has steadily diminished. Russia had relied on a partnership that included key military assets – most notably the Khmeimim air base and the naval hub in Tartus – which play a critical role in Russia’s regional logistics across the Middle East and Africa.

At the outset, Damascus gave security assurances for those facilities, and al-Sharaa himself publicly acknowledged the value of continued cooperation. However, the geopolitical calculus has shifted rapidly. “The normalisation of relations with the West could cancel out the remaining arguments in favour of cooperation with Moscow for new Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa and his entourage,” Smagin said.

Turkey and the Gulf monarchies – particularly Riyadh and Doha – played a decisive role in supporting Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist faction that now forms the backbone of Syria’s post-Assad government. The new leadership has rapidly diversified its international partnerships, ranging from Middle Eastern capitals to Brussels and Washington. Most recently al-Sharaa has backed Israel in its conflict with Iran by giving the Israeli air force permission to use Syrian airspace to refuel its fighter jets. Smagin noted that “Riyadh and Doha have already paid off Damascus’s $15mn debt to the World Bank, and offered to pay government salaries.”

By spring 2025, the European Union suspended some its sanctions on the country, and US President Donald Trump met al-Sharaa during a Middle East tour – symbolic milestones in Syria’s re-entry into the Western political fold.

Despite Moscow’s early diplomatic outreach, residual animosities persist. “The Syrian authorities made it clear that they still had grievances against Moscow, which bombed the members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham themselves, who form the backbone of the new government,” Smagin observed. He added that “in 2015 it was Russia’s intervention that extended al-Assad’s rule for another decade” and won no favours from the members of the new government.

Since Assad’s fall, Russia has halted food deliveries and begun to lose key economic contracts. In early 2025, Damascus cancelled a Russian management contract for the port of Tartus – signed in 2019 – and replaced it with an $800mn investment agreement with Dubai Ports World. The port has been a cornerstone in Russia’s strategy of returning its naval power to the Mediterranean, after being bottled up in the Black Sea for most of the Cold War. The printing of Syria’s currency, long outsourced to Russia, has also been shifted to Germany and the UAE.

Meanwhile, trade ties are beginning to fray. Although Russia resumed deliveries of oil and grain in March and April respectively, Smagin noted that these are likely to be short-lived. “Syria is due to be imminently reconnected to the SWIFT international payment system, to which Russia does not have access,” he said. “It’s unlikely that Damascus will deem that grey schemes to import Russian goods are worth risking Syria’s reintegration into the global financial system.”

The fate of Russia’s military presence in Syria remains the most contentious issue. Reports have emerged that Syrian authorities are increasing security checks on Russian personnel at Khmeimim and Tartus, amid growing pressure from Western allies to close the facilities.

North Korea to send 6,000 engineers and workers to rebuild Russian region

North Korea is sending thousands of construction workers to help rebuild a war-torn Russian border region, a Russian official said Tuesday, as the Kremlin boasted of new steps in the deepening partnership between the two countries.

Sergei K. Shoigu, a close aide to President Vladimir V. Putin, met with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, in Pyongyang on Tuesday. It was his third visit to the North Korean capital since March.

Afterward, he told reporters that Mr. Kim had agreed to send 5,000 construction workers and 1,000 sappers — combat engineers — to Russia’s Kursk region. That is where North Korean troops fought alongside Russian forces this past winter and spring to push Ukrainian soldiers out of several hundred square miles of Russian territory. The sappers, he said, will work on demining the region.

There was no immediate confirmation in North Korean state media of the announcement by Mr. Shoigu, who was Russia’s defense minister until last year and now serves as the secretary of Mr. Putin’s Security Council. But in a video of Mr. Shoigu’s arrival distributed by Russian state media, Mr. Kim could be seen embracing the Russian visitor and telling him that “our cooperation is deepening.”

Mr. Shoigu told Mr. Kim that he was back in Pyongyang — he last visited June 4 — at the direction of Mr. Putin. “There is an order from the president,” Mr. Shoigu said. “It must be carried out.”

As many as 15,000 North Korean workers are already employed in Russia, South Korean intelligence officials said in April. Their labor violates U.N. Security Council sanctions but is of mutual benefit for both Moscow and Pyongyang. The North Korean government earns much-needed foreign currency by claiming much of the workers’ salaries, while Russia gets an infusion of help at a time when its labor force has been depleted by the war in Ukraine.

South Korea has reported a sharp uptick in North Korean laborers in Russia since last year, when South Korean officials said there were roughly 4,000 North Korean construction workers in Russia, each earning about $800 a month.

The plan announced by Mr. Shoigu on Tuesday would deepen that arrangement in a symbolically important region 4,000 miles from North Korea: Kursk, where an estimated 14,000 North Korean troops fought on Russia’s side for months until expelling Ukrainian forces from the area in April.

Mr. Shoigu described the 5,000 North Korean laborers to be sent to Kursk as two brigades of “military construction workers.” He said they would help fix electrical and communications lines, roads and buildings after the region is demined.

“This is a kind of fraternal aid of the Korean people and the leader Kim Jong-un to our country and to the Kursk region in particular,” Mr. Shoigu said.

It was not immediately clear how Russia would compensate North Korea for the workers. South Korean intelligence officials and analysts say that Russia has provided North Korea not only with fuel and food, but also with military materials and technologies in return for support in the war against Ukraine.

Mr. Shoigu said that Russia and North Korea were working on starting direct flights between their capitals for the first time in more than 30 years, according to Russian state media.

There were also sculptors and architects in the Russian delegation in Pyongyang on Tuesday, Mr. Shoigu said. Their job was to work on plans for memorials in North Korea and Russia to honor North Korea’s war dead in Kursk.

“The feat that Korean servicemen — now comrades in arms in the Kursk region — accomplished should of course be immortalized,” Mr. Shoigu said.
