Korby Aaren Strube, a 29-year-old man from Horton, Kansas, was jailed without bond in Palm Beach County after records showed he faced 23 counts of making written or electronic threats to kill or cause bodily harm. Investigators said the case centers on social media posts that targeted Donald Trump, Benajin Netanyahu, Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro.

That is what put his name in the record now: a local jail booking tied to online threats investigators say he made last month after Secret Service agents visited him at home. They said he admitted posting the threats on social media during that visit, turning what might have been dismissed as online bluster into a criminal case with 23 separate counts.

The affidavit adds a detail that sharpens the case further. Investigators said Strube showed signs of paranoia, but they also said he admitted to the posts, leaving little room for a claim that the messages were not his. In the threats involving Ben Shapiro, the affidavit says he included a countdown to an apparent target date that referenced Shapiro's Jewish faith, a detail that makes the allegation more specific than a vague online insult or a stray threat.

Palm Beach County records show Strube remained jailed without bond after that interview, but the case file does not lay out the next court step. What matters now is that investigators say they have both the posts and the admission, and the remaining question is how prosecutors will use that evidence as the case moves forward.
