Twitter suspended an account Sunday evening allegedly linked to the gunman who killed nine and wounded dozens outside a Dayton, Ohio, bar early Sunday morning, after several reports identified the account and noted its left-wing political orientation. The user, “@iamthespookster,” identified as a “leftist,” according to the Twitter profile. The suspended account tweeted in support of socialism, against the election of President Donald Trump, and in favor of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for president in 2020. Breitbart News obtained several screenshots from the account before it was suspended:

Shortened title. Full title: FULL OF HATE Dayton gunman Connor Betts described himself on social media as a pro-Satan ‘leftist’ who despised Donald Trump The Ohio gunman described himself as a pro-Satan “leftist” who hated President Trump. Connor Betts, 24, was shot dead by cops on Sunday after he had gone on the rampage in Dayton, killing nine people including his sister Megan.

Exploiting the deaths of innocents in El Paso and Dayton for political gain. The bodies in Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton were still in the morgue when the progressive “carrion-picking crows” started politicizing the murders. But everything they said about gun control, “white nationalism,” and Trump’s culpability was based on lies and stale clichés recycled for political gain. The argument that more gun control laws will lessen substantially such murders has been disproven with facts over and over. In the Nineties, gun homicides fell by half, even as the number of guns increased 56%. The reason has been obvious since...

Imagine being a black voter. You have an impressive array of black and brown progressive Democratic candidates to choose from, and then there's that pasty white blonde woman in the pink dress with the high pitched voice over on the end, the one with 1% poll rankings, who's rolling over on her belly to pander for your vote, abasing herself by discussing her awful, awful "white-skin privilege."

Aspiring James Bond villain, George Soros, is clawing his way deeper into America's political system, with a SuperPAC. Democratic mega-donor George Soros is creating a new super PAC, called Democracy PAC, to serve as a hub for his 2020 election spending. Soros, a billionaire financier, is putting an initial $5 million into the PAC, according to a person familiar with the new organization.

Daniel Lee Lewis was involved in his first murder when he was 17 years old. It was July 24, 1990. Enraged by a teenage party prank, he beat Joseph Wavra unconscious. Then Lewis ran to get a knife and helped Wayra’s murderer hide the crime. This was only the beginning of Lewis’ seven-year crime spree that included burglary, bombings, public shootouts, and murder. The crime that landed him on death row happened on January 11, 1996. He and his partner, Chevie Kehoe, kidnapped a Tilly, Arkansas gun dealer with his wife and stepdaughter. Lewis had burglarized William Mueller’s home a...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) is accusing multiple senior Trump administration officials in both the Treasury and State Departments of actively working behind President Donald Trump's back to save the Iran nuclear deal and continue providing Tehran with waivers permitting the regime to conduct sensitive nuclear work at a military site that houses Iran's nuclear weapons program. In reaction to reports that the State Department will renew a series of controversial sanctions waivers that have permitted Iran to continue conducting nuclear work, including at a military bunker dug into the side of mountain, Cruz accused "deep state" officials operating at...

The Trump administration on Wednesday issued sanctions against Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif, formally labeling him a terrorist enabler and blacklisting all of his property, assets, and investments, according to senior administration officials. Zarif has emerged as the face of the Islamic Republic's nuclear intransigence and its threats to U.S. assets and allies in the region. He played a key role in negotiating the landmark nuclear deal with the Obama administration and has been a centerpiece in Iran's bombastic anti-American rhetoric. The designation had been rumored for some time following the Trump administration's decision to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps,...

Shocking new reporting from a progressive media outlet has linked elite billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to Charlie Rose, the now-disgraced mainstay of CBS’s 60 Minutes for decades. Rose was forced out of his comfortable mainstream media position in the aftermath of #MeToo claims against him, alleging that the legacy media titan had made a habit of harassing and groping young women. DemocracyNow is a left-wing media outlet known for its critical editorial stance against establishment liberalism and the mainstream Democratic Party. The outlet sources anonymous former employees of Rose, who claim that they were referred to the sexual harasser by...

Shortened title. Full title: Ted Cruz Sounds the Alarm: Deep State Staffers at Treasury and State Working Behind Trump’s Back to Preserve Obama’s Iran Nuke Deal Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) sounded the alarm on Wednesday and said that staffers at the Treasury and State Departments are tirelessly working behind President Trump’s back to preserve Obama’s Iran nuke deal. Ted Cruz accused many senior Trump administration officials of continuing to give Tehran waivers allowing the terrorist-supporting regime to conduct nuclear tests at a military bunker that holds Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Cruz said “Deep State” in the Treasury and State who...

Iran’s Central Bank announced Wednesday that the nation would rename the national currency, the rial, as the “toman” and “delete four zeros” from its value. The move follows months of intense American sanctions on Iran’s oil industry and mimics a similar move to bolster the bolívar currency in Venezuela. “The council of ministers, at a meeting presided by President Hassan Rouhani this morning, approved the central bank’s proposed bill to change the national currency from the rial to the toman and delete four zeros,” the Iranian Islamic regime said in a media statement, according to the government news outlet PressTV....

President Trump doesn’t mince words, so he called the city of Baltimore what it is: a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” And it is. It really is. Trump over the weekend called out Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, who represents the district in the House, for the dismal state of affairs in the city. The president was, of course, labeled a racist for his criticism of the black lawmaker and the majority black city, but on Tuesday, Trump said black residents of the city have a different mindset. “They are so happy, because I get the calls,” Trump told reporters...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) agreed with a radio host's description of Israel's treatment of Palestinians as "criminal" during an interview Tuesday and suggested Palestinians had no recourse but violence. On his hip-hop program "Ebro in the Morning," interviewer Ebro Darden said there was a collection of "corrupt" governments in Israel, the United States, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, "all working in concert," and referred to White House policy adviser Stephen Miller as a white supremacist. "How do you have white supremacist Jews?" he asked. "How do you have people like Stephen Miller? How do you have these individuals who are...

Anti-Trump Hollywood actor Tom Arnold professed his undying emotions Tuesday for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who’s spent her short tenure in Washington advocating radical far-left policies and pushing antisemitic tropes, saying he would be “lucky” if he and the “Squad” member “[fell] in love.” “She’s beautiful, smart & brave. If I’m lucky we’ll fall in love,” Arnold wrote on Twitter of Ilhan Omar, before launching into a defense of the Minnesota Democrat for promoting the actor’s remarks justifying Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) neighbor’s vicious assault against the libertarian-leaning lawmaker last year. “Rand Paul is a horrible neighbor a terrible Senator...

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) is blaming President Trump and racism for the city of Baltimore’s well-documented crime, poverty, rodent, and despair problems. He is doing this even though, by any objective measure, Trump has done more for black Americans than any president in decades, including our first black president. Thanks to Trump’s economic and immigration policies, black unemployment is at its lowest level EVER. And I add “immigration policies” to that mix because illegal aliens are helping to devastate the inner-cities that are all run by Democrats who give sanctuary to the same illegals who steal countless starter jobs from...

Baltimore law enforcement has launched an investigation into the cause of 11 fires that broke out in the city’s Edmondson Village neighborhood early morning. Firefighters responded to reports of a fire at approximately 1:30 a.m. EST, said Baltimore Fire spokesperson Blair Adams, according to the Baltimore Sun. Firefighters then scrambled to a second fire a few blocks away and did so nine additional times.

Some of the...

His accuser, Army Colonel Kathryn Spletstoser, 51, watched on as General John Hyten said 'all of the allegations are...

With each passing week, the tally of Iranian provocations that feed fears that the Middle East is on the brink of war continues to grow. Iran’s firing of a middle-range missile in violation of a United Nations Security Council resolution and its seizure of a British-flagged oil tanker came after a series of other incidents, including the shooting down of an American drone and sabotage of other shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump’s critics have depicted these actions as the inevitable result of his policies. Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and...

Shortened title. Full title: Jeffrey Epstein’s life ‘in jeopardy’ as powerful pals ‘don’t want their secrets out’, victim’s lawyer claims Spencer Kuvin, who represents three of the billionaire perv's sex trafficking accusers, threw doubt on claims the financier attempted suicide. Epstein was found "sprawled on the floor" and "blue in the face" in a New York jail, last Tuesday according to reports. Investigators are still probing whether it was a suicide attempt or if the shamed 66-year-old was attacked. Now Kuvin believes Epstein knows so much dirt about his rich and famous friends that there may be some individuals willing...

Al Sharpton has been in the public limelight for just over 30 years – ever since he first burst upon the scene by promoting the fake story of a white-on-black gang rape in upstate New York in 1987. But not until now has America had a president with enough courage to tell the nation exactly what Sharpton is: “Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score,” said Donald Trump on Monday. In response, Sharpton did the only thing he's ever really learned how to do: He accused the president of harboring “a particular venom for blacks...
