(DCNF)—An unearthed Bluesky account believed to have belonged to suspected White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooter Cole Allen shows he was a fervent supporter of Ukraine, a fixation he shared with another would-be assassin of President Donald Trump.
Allen — a 31-year-old California teacher who had reportedly called Trump a “sociopathic mob boss” on the left-leaning social media platform — faces a pair of preliminary criminal charges after he opened fire at the Washington Hilton hotel, where the dinner featuring the president was taking place. The suspect affirmed his “support for Ukraine” in his alleged Bluesky bio, according to a screenshot shared on X by former Republican National Committee rapid response director Steve Guest.
“Hi! I’m a random California guy with posts about American politics, support for Ukraine, and observations of small creatures,” states the bio of a now-suspended account — identifying as “coldForce” — on the platform. The account was Allen’s, The Post Millennial reported, citing an anonymous senior government official.
The account’s user called Vice President JD Vance a “piece of shit” in response to a clip of Vance saying he was proud of the Trump administration for ceasing aid to Ukraine, according to a screenshot shared on X by Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet. The vice president was also present at the dinner where Allen had fired multiple shots.
“[H]e’s proud that we don’t uphold our commitments,” the account allegedly belonging to Allen said in the same derogatory post hitting Vance for his stance on sending taxpayer money to the war-torn Eastern European nation.
Likewise, Ryan Routh, the middle-aged man who attempted to assassinate Trump — then the Republican presidential nominee — at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Sept. 15, 2024, was also an avowed fanatical supporter of Ukraine.
“I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE,” Routh, who was sentenced to a life imprisonment in February, wrote in a 2022 post to Twitter, The New York Times reported.
In fact, Routh was such a die-hard supporter of the country that Ukraine’s foreign legion even took the step of vocally disavowing him and slamming his ideas as “delusional.”
Oleksandr Shaguri, a representative from the legion, told CNN at the time the eventual would-be assassin reached out to the military unit several times but was continually rebuffed.
“He [Routh] was offering us large numbers of recruits from different countries but it was obvious to us his offers were not realistic. We didn’t even answer, there was nothing to answer to,” Shaguri told the outlet in September 2024. “He was never part of the Legion and didn’t cooperate with us in any way.”
Routh said in a 2023 interview with The New York Times — conducted over a year before he tried to kill Trump in Florida — he spent multiple months of 2022 in Ukraine. He also told the outlet he was looking to recruit Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban for his purported pro-Ukraine effort, claiming dozens were interested. The then-57-year-old added he was planning to transport the purported soldiers from the Middle East and South Asia to Eastern Europe.
Furthermore, the Department of Justice in April 2025 alleged Routh tried to obtain rockets from a person he thought was Ukrainian in order to use them to shoot down Trump’s personal plane.
“[S]end me an rpg [rocket propelled grenade] or stinger and I will see what we can do … [Trump] is not good for Ukraine,” Routh told the individual, according to the agency.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
