Minnesota Officials Make Dramatic Press Announcement Following Capture and Arrest of Vance Boelter

The man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another crawled to SWAT police officers in surrender Sunday after they located him in the woods near his home.  Vance Boelter was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two of attempted murder.

Boelter is accused of posing as a police officer and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs. Authorities say he also shot Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette; both injured at their residence about 9 miles away.  Boelter’s capture brings an end to a nearly two-day search.

The dramatic flair in presentation; a combination of DOJ-Community Relations Service choreography and federal/state political emphasis amid the trained participants; has become too much. The dramatic effect is losing value now. The public has become increasingly numb to it.   WATCH:

Senate Intel Committee Chair Advocates for Expanded Israeli Conflict with Iran

Senator Tom Cotton is the current chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and one of the strongest voices in full support of military strikes against Iran.

Good morning, and Happy Father’s Day to you.

SENATOR TOM COTTON (R-Arkansas): Thank you, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, I know you are staying on top of all these events.

When it comes to what President Trump has said publicly, he seems to be indicating not just that the U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, but he’s saying this is not America’s fight unless Iran hits the U.S.

Should it be such a bright line?

Manhunt Continues for Vance Luther Boelter – Minnesota Assassin

Vance Luther Boelter, 57, continues to evade authorities as the manhunt for him widens. The manhunt followed Boelter, disguised as a police officer, fatally shot former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in their homes.

During their investigation, police allegedly discovered a hit list in Boelter’s imposter-police SUV. That list contained roughly 70 names.

Minnesota – A vehicle associated with a suspect in a shocking political assassination and shooting outside Minneapolis was found empty Sunday afternoon in a rural area about 50 miles away, according to authorities.

The suspect, identified by authorities as Vance Luther Boelter, 57, posed as a law enforcement officer to gain access to the Minneapolis-area victims’ homes in the pre-dawn hours on Saturday, officials said. Authorities said he and police officers exchanged gunfire before he fled on foot.

Sunday Talks – Bret Baier Interviews Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows he needs the support of the United States government if he is going to succeed in his war against Iran; intended to forever eliminate the potential for Iran to ever gain a nuclear bomb.

As details of the ongoing operations inside Iran continue to collate, it is becoming clear that Israeli intelligence has long-term embeds deep inside the Iranian government and security apparatus. Apparently some of these deep intel agents have been inside the Iranian national security system for decades; this seems to have shocked the upper tiers of the Iranian government.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears on Fox News with Bret Baier today to walk through the intentions of the ongoing operations and the overall goals and objectives. WATCH:

President Trump Threatens Iran to Make a Deal

As the G7 leaders gather in Canada for their annual meeting, President Trump delivers a message to Iran from his Truth Social account.

President Trump continues pushing Iran to make a deal before things get worse.

President Donald Trump – “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP! Also, during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR. I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!). Another case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way! Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”

Early this morning, President Trump reiterated that the USA has nothing to do with the ongoing attacks by Israel.  The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight. If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!
