This wonderful SECOND AMENDMENT PROMISES MADE PROMISES KEPT SUNDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.
Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments. Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, elected thanks to Free Speech on Gab.
SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazil’s far-right President-elect Jair Bolsonaro said on Saturday he plans to issue a decree allowing all Brazilians without criminal records to own firearms, welcome news to many core supporters who want him to loosen Brazil’s strict gun laws.
Throughout his campaign, Bolsonaro had pledged to dismantle Brazil’s current gun legislation, which presents various bureaucratic and legal obstacles for people seeking to purchase firearms. That message appealed to many Brazilians who want to use guns for self-defense amid sky-high levels of violent crime.
“By decree, we plan to guarantee the ownership of firearms by citizens without criminal records,” Bolsonaro, who takes office on Jan. 1, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
Trump Boomerang Effect and Trump Unmasking Effect on STEROIDS.
Gun owners and defenders of the right to keep and bear arms (RKBA) – that lovely populist poison pill for tyranny – have MOAR WINNING to rejoice.
Some, but not all, have been able to stand up to the Deep State machinations which have been arrayed against Free Americans by our communist neighbors and infiltrators, and their foreign allies.
Alas, Son of Mailman is not one of them. I actually don’t blame him. When an obvious MK-mediated murder of policemen in his hometown was committed nearly on his doorstep at a critical juncture as a warning, I realized just how much pressure has been put on him.
They. Will. Do. Anything.
They have only one rule – don’t get caught.
Thankfully, I think the MK murder thing is going to explode, and a lot of commies are going to have burnt lips from THAT exploding cigar.
Back to the story – enough Buckeyes have had the guts to stand up to the Globo-Nazi scum, that SoM’s veto of recent pro-gun legislation was overridden.
Good times. Take that, Globo-Nazis.
I was first alerted to this by MJA at iOTWReport.com:
In a historic action, the Ohio General Assembly has overridden Governor Kasich’s ill-advised veto of H.B. 228. The House override was on a 67 to 22 vote. The Ohio Senate override was on a 21 to 11 vote. Even though John Kasich used all his political power and even used political gamesmanship, he could not stop the legislature from doing the their job, and executing the will of the Ohio people. The law contains many powerful improvements for Ohio’s 4 million gun owners.
Buckeye Firearms
Here are a few of the top fixes to gun laws, listed by Buckeye Firearms:
Shifts the burden of proof back to the prosecutor so that you are innocent until proven guilty. Ohio is the only state in the U.S. that makes gun owners guilty until proven innocent in matters of self defense.
Strengthens “preemption” provisions in Ohio law that prevent local governments from passing their own gun laws.
Aligns the definition of “shotgun” to mirror Federal law to end the confusion about the Mossberg Shockwave and similar firearms that are currently legal under federal law but illegal under Ohio state law.
Eliminates the requirement to post no-gun signs in locations which have authorized the carrying of firearms.
Puts teeth into the law so that authorities can prosecute criminals who make “straw” purchases for felons.
The preemption portion is a BIGGIE. Communist Democrat leadership strategy in Ohio right now is to pack leftist ringers into “apolitical” city councils in suburban and exurban communities, as well as to float ringer candidates like Lying Radical Progressive Danny O’Connor in districts that include such communities (h/t Jane Timken for catching that stealthy truth). Local restrictions on gun ownership to force out gun owners and “blue up” those districts is clearly their path to power, so BIG KUDOS to the Ohio GOP for fighting back.
Better signage on firearms carry is also important, although not yet a done deal. In many places, very crappy fine-print signage against weapons carry is being used to entrap licensed concealed carriers. There is a very stealthy but EXTREMELY ACTIVE war on concealed carry going on right now in this nation, and the Buckeye State is no exception. Dark Muellerian DOJ / FBI forces working with anti-Trump ex-DHS officials and the big-bucks post-Vegas security-industrial complex are now useful not-so-idiots in the DNC / Soviet / Euro-socialist / ChiCom / UN vision of a disarmed America.
Americans need to SEE where CHLs are being forced out by businesses, so they can take their business elsewhere. Note that entrapment is a typically Soviet ploy – make enough bad law, and eventually EVERYBODY is not in compliance.
POWER.
So – good to see some PUSH-BACK on the Globo-Nazi contagion, even if it means overriding a “hostage veto”.
Rejoice! Son of Mailman will be relieved of duty shortly, and Mike DeWine, whose office created the original VERY SENSIBLE Ohio CHL laws (“shall issue”, but plenty of training and quality instruction) is now the governor.
DeWine was at one time wobbly on Clintonian Marxist “assault weapons” legislation, but he has since learned to stand up to the communists, while maintaining his trademark non-confrontational style. DeWine knows where the real pro-RKBA side of “sensible” gun law is, and it is a comfort to know that he will be governor. Frankly, I wish we had some more Mike DeWines in reserve.
I also expect that Mike DeWine will come under the same cunning and evil pressures that John Kasich did, so please INCLUDE MIKE DEWINE IN YOUR PRAYERS! He need powerful spiritual and moral protection coming from the prayers of the People of this Great Nation!
Heck – I think that praying for John Kasich is good, too. Pray for him to be RELEASED from the dark forces which have bound and confused him, so that he can RETURN to where he once was – THE GOP CENTER – not the FAKE FLAKE globalist Obama synthetic center. Pray that the globalists who have made Kasich dizzy and confused are UNMASKED BY TRUMP – the great unmasker!
And finally, have a wonderful and MAGA day! Celebrate!

The Second Amendment is about more than just itself.
Ever since DOJ deception, obstruction, and suppression of evidence in the Trayvon Martin case, which I always thought was the TRUE beginning of the Obama/media war on our CIVIL RIGHTS….
Ever since the sketchy, FBI-allowed, Jarrett-and-Holder linked, therapist-encouraged, “propaganda shooting” at #Parkland….
Ever since “The Bridge” fell on the careers of Florida Republicans after information from Sheriff Israel’s sketchy stand-down was leaked….
Ever since I counter-attacked on Eric Holder’s attack on DUE PROCESS on Twitter, and apparently activated some kind of DOJ/FBI “interest”….
And ever since Eric Holder’s “Mueller Remainder” DOJ/FBI….

With aerial support from Hollywood….
Featuring dirty tricks and stealthy Las Vegas-linked technologies being deployed against Americans and their PRIVACY without their knowledge and with seriously illegal entrapment schemes – designed to embarrass certain political enemies…. (WINK, WINK)
Decided to make our lives moderatelyinteresting and try to frame us using their California actors and Stalinist bullshit…..
(Oh, wait – I have to backtrack on those actors in MY life to JUST BEFORE Sandy Hook – hmmm – didn’t know THOSE California actors were part of the whole thing – boy that’s wild – love this thread already)……
Who would have the records on that stuff? Just curious!….
(Sorry, you Stalinists – Q said – see something, say something!)
OK – anyway – ever since all that stuff, I have been waiting for a sign – any sign – that the tide of battle might have really turned.
First – the DoEd “boilerplate” – still DEFINITELY worth a skim!
After months of research, visiting successful programs & hearing presentations, today the Federal Commission on School Safety will present its final report to @POTUS which details best practices and policy recommendations for improving school safety. https://t.co/AP3k9KmXbM
There can be no one-size-fits-all solution to this complex problem, and so the report is a guide for families, educators, local school leaders, law enforcement, health professionals & elected leaders to consider the best ways to prevent, mitigate & recover from acts of violence.
“Each of us has an important role to play in keeping our students safe while at school,” said @BetsyDeVosED. “Through the Commission’s work, it has become even clearer there is no single policy that will make our schools safer.”
.@BetsyDeVosED continued: “With that in mind, this report provides a wide-ranging menu of best practices and resources that all state, community & school leaders should consider while developing school safety plans and procedures that will work for their students and teachers.”
NOW – the nitty-gritty, fished out by US News, as explained by several tweets pointing to the same article. Yeah, the MSM doesn’t like it – so you KNOW it’s good!
Can’t we find a MEANER picture of Secretary DeVos? C’mon! You’re tryin’, MSM, but you’re not GIVING IT YOUR ALL!
Seriously, this is a good picture to connote seriousness, so I’m just pulling your leg, MSM. But stay frosty! I’m always lookin’ for the bogus!
Eric Holder’s Promise Program – his PROPAGANDA FARM SYSTEM – is going DOWN THE TUBES.
Now if you want to see all the research I did on the due process horror of these promise programs, just go to Twitter and search on:
@WOLFM00N promise program
You will get a WEALTH of research and insight on this stuff. I did numerous posts and threads where I figured out a lot of really insidious stuff about these promise programs. TOTAL communist TROJAN HORSE.
These programs were not only used to subvert local authority and put political groups in charge of law enforcement in schools – these things seemed to brew up ideal circumstances to create radical left-wing PROPAGANDA – hence my referring to schools, districts, neighborhoods and communities with these things as “propaganda farms”.
The propaganda was typically race-baiting violent BLM stuff for blacks and anti-gun for whites. All clearly on the Russian Stalinist agenda – which incidentally might explain the Russian agents living near Nikolas Cruz that were “indicted back to Russia” by Mueller – but I digress.
The US News article is linked in most of the tweets above.
If you want to know why these recommendations are so good, just look at who was on the commission. NO POLITICAL NONSENSE. Just people who do their jobs effectively.
Yeah, they’re all white, but – well, why they hell should that matter? You put Diamond and Silk on this one and you watch a report come back that’s gonna make the snowflakes CRY LIKE BABIES!
You see, it’s ALL ABOUT SENSIBLE PEOPLE. Nothin’ to do with skin. And THAT is how PC messed us up. But I digress!
Here’s a video!
Now – at this point I’m just itching to read these recommendations and see if anybody is talking about using these super-expensive scanners that they tried to frame me with, that were supposedly part of the impetus behind the Las Vegas massacre, that they are trying to sell to the ritzy venues with deep pockets for a LOT of MONEY now – and instead use them to keep guns out of SCHOOLS!
Yeah – that might be a good thing – use them to protect kids instead of trying to make a bunch of money and FRAME NRA members and civil rights activists (that’s what I am, by the way!)
Some schools may also wish to use screening systems to limit who and what can enter a building. These systems typically require one-at-a-time entry to check the person and belongings. Such systems can use metal detection, X-ray, explosives detection devices, or a physical search. The purpose of screening is to prevent illegal or prohibited items from entering any given facility, and there is evidence that supports the efficacy of screening as a method to detect, deter, or deny violent actors. However, these screening systems are labor-intensive, time consuming, and costly. The cost of a retrofit of a school or the time it takes to admit students into the building in accordance with screening procedures may be impediments to implementation. The impact of metal detectors, X-ray machines, and similar screening technologies on school violence is questionable, with at least one study concluding that metal detectors have no apparent effect on reducing violence on school grounds.
FINAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL COMMISSION ON School Safety, page 123
Hmmmm. They don’t seem to work that well. And they really do invade privacy. Isn’t privacy a good thing anymore? I thought privacy was a civil right of some kind. Maybe even for WOMEN. (COUGH, COUGH, HOLDER’S WIFE, COUGH, COUGH, ROE VS. WADE, COUGH, COUGH)
I think the commission is right. One size doesn’t fit all. Maybe elite schools where kids of scanner company executives go can have the expensive scanners and no privacy, and regular schools can have a few trained teachers with guns. Almost sounds like state and local, and OMG, that’s what Betsy was saying!
And as long as mass-murder-planning, due process subverting, RUSSIA-CONNECTED, former campus radical, DOJ, FBI, CIA, FSB, KGB, PLA and other types are in jail, maybe there won’t BE so many school shootings! Hey, that’s a thought!
So should I tell the people how that scam worked? Or have I said enough?
Everything stated has a purpose. Think timing of Tweet (above) v last drops [HouseOfCards] re: Maggie NYT re: WL ‘Maggie’ drops re: WL attack re: ‘Q’ Do you believe in coincidences? Be ‘extremely’ vigilant in Dec. See something. Say something. EXTREME PANIC IN [DC] WWG1WGA! Q
Q Post 2499
See something – say something! Hey! That works for REAL civil rights activists, too!
One of THE BEST windows into Russia’s REAL position on the 2016 election is Vladimir Putin’s “NRA spy”, Maria Butina. Yeah, I will admit that I think this gal is smoking hot, in a Euro-floozy, Moscow-to-Washington-to-Tennessee, mail-order mama, “I fell in love at a gun show” way.
But that’s not the only reason I love this woman. Oh, no. This lovely Cabela’s version of Anna Chapman is proof that there are places SO far out of Russian expertise in espionage and disinformation, that any action in them betrays EXACTLY what Putin is up to.
As far as I’m concerned, this woman NAILS DOWN the idea that the Democrats and Russia were colluding to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidency, and if that failed, to get him removed from office.
I hate to say this – I know it breaks a lot of dreamy bubbles about “fellow nationalist” Putin, including my own – but Putin would rather OWN or ELIMINATE the Trump Presidency than make tough deals with it – what with old asset Hillary and crew so ready to make those EASY DEALS – ya know? – and since OWNING the Trump White House is unlikely if not impossible, ELIMINATING the Trump White House is safer.
Why this woman is not part of the Mueller probe was a mystery to me at first, but now I get it. She is the proof that the Russians and the CIA/FBI treason complex – totally separately – had EXACTLY THE SAME OBJECTIVE. Put Russians next to Donald Trump, so the Democrats could take him out.
You think Mueller wants anybody seeing that? Nah. Not a chance.
Look at that happy face! You CANNOT fake gun lovin’ like that. This one is a keeper, boys!
Maria Butina’s greatest asset was her AUTHENTICITY. That is key to understanding why she was so useful. Because she AUTHENTICALLY wants “gun reform” in Russia – meaning a right to keep and bear firearms – absolutely the opposite position of everybody who has ever held power in Russia since the communist revolution of 1917 – she made a perfect DUPE to send against Trump.
Now – the “party line” of EVERYBODY on this Butina broad is exactly her Russian cover – WHICH SHE ACTUALLY BELIEVED. That cover story is that she was trying to make cozy contacts with the Trump administration in the interest of furthering everybody’s interests. Presumably, Butina thought that she could advance her cause of gun rights at home, by helping her government get cozy with a gun-friendly administration in America. Makes sense – right? Trump wins better relations with Russia, Russia wins better relations with Trump, and gun rights for everybody!
“Diplomacy! Hooray! It’s FUN!”
Well, if you believe this story, I would like to sell you shares of Chuck Schumer’s garage.
Seriously, her cover story is just DUMB. However, I must admit, that thanks to decades of FAKE NEWS, most Americans are sheep ready to be fleeced.
Why would Russia settle for a wee bit of GUN-FRIENDLY with Donald Trump – knowing the Russians don’t even LIKE guns – when they can TAINT Trump – and then OWN him or REMOVE him by those exact same contacts?
Vladimir Putin is many things, but he is NOT stupid. The Russians were not sending this woman into the NRA for any good reason. And you would be very smart to assume it is the WORST reasons – to BRING DOWN Trump, BRING DOWN the NRA, BRING DOWN the Second Amendment, and BRING DOWN our current state of Freedom in the United States. None of which Maria Butina had any idea about, because she’s the PERFECT DUPE.
Before we get to the deep reasons of WHY Putin would do these things, we need to reflect on the fact that the fall of the Iron Curtain did NOT put power back in the hands of the PEOPLE of Russia. I’m not saying it SHOULD – that is THEIR BUSINESS. Russia is not the United States. But the fact that perestroika DID NOT fully return power to the people, shows the kind of government we are dealing with, when we deal with Putin.
If you have any doubts about Putin’s ideas on gun control, recall how he blamed the recent mass shooting in Crimea on American attitudes toward guns.
Mass shooting in Crimea? What? You didn’t hear about that? Then read up….
Searches on this incident (e.g., “mass shooting Crimea”) betray a curiously lower American press interest than one might normally expect for 20 dead and 70 wounded.
Typically, our stupid fake news media knee-jerks on all shootings according to prior rules of “the narrative”. Depending on who does the shooting, it MAY be reported heavily, or it may not. It MAY be blamed on the gun, or it may not. It MAY be blamed on mental illness, or it may not. However, in this case, there was really no precedent for a shooting in Putin’s Russia, much less in “stolen” Crimea. And worst of all, Putin sounded suspiciously like a Democrat, and definitely NOT like Trump.
In fact, Putin’s blamecasting toward America pissed me off so much, I fired back in anger on Twitter. One does not ride on a legacy of Soviet-engineered cultural degradation in America, complete with a secret plan to gin up mass shootings here, and then blame the BLOW-BACK on America. The SOVIET UNION was fully responsible for foisting mass shooters on the world, and THEIR Marxist clap-trap – still being leveraged by Putin through Soviet products like Obama – is precisely where the blame resides.
Cultural Marxist back-splatter, Putey. YOUR Soviet KGB demoralization and cultural Marxist PLANTS (should I list NAMES?) wrought this MADNESS in America, and now you get some blood on your SUIT? SHAME ON YOUR USSR for CREATING "gun violence" through SUBVERSION. SEND THE FILES!!!
And NOW, in typical communist fashion, you BLAME THE VICTIM, Vlad.
YOU and YOUR KGB used cultural subversion on America – paid a pretty penny to fund it, too. Filled our government with YOUR spies and YOUR assets pushing GUN MURDERS to disarm us.
The foreign press picked up the story, but the American leftist fake news media generally did not. The American CONSERVATIVE media picked it up from foreign sources. Note that this is something Hillary Clinton cited as part of her “vast right wing conspiracy” accusation – that the FOREIGN PRESS was used by the American conservative press to get around “good” gatekeepers here in the U.S. “OH NOES! So sinister, going around the gatekeepers!“
I was watching this shooting closely to see how Putin would react. Here is why.
I was clued into Russia’s curiously continued communist attitude toward RKBA during the aftermath of Sandy Hook, when I noticed Russian attempts to personally influence me on gun control at that malleable moment. It’s amazing when people make little mistakes like being too obvious. It seemed strange at the time, that “now capitalist” Russia would even BOTHER working the old KGB position, but I filed it away to be explained later. I can thank Maria Butina for helping do just that.
I really urge you to read the article, because it clears up EVERYTHING about this woman, and why she was here. Here is the link again, direct to the Daily Caller.
Butina’s case is NOT part of the Mueller prosecution – rather incredibly
Butina TRIED – at the behest of her Soviet Russian handlers – to set up Russian contacts with TRUMP OFFICIALS
Butina TRIED – and to some extent succeeded – to infiltrate one of the strongest defenders of gun rights in America, while maintaining contacts with Russian intelligence
The prosecutor is Jessie K. Liu, who was part of the Trump transition team
Trump likes her
Looks like a Bushie
Harvard and Yale grad
Husband is Yale grad
Just sayin’
Background looks relatively clean, but so did Lovely Loretta Lynch’s
Bottom line – not expecting a massive bust of Democrats here
Spidey senses remain tuned and won’t shut off
Anti-Trump probably wants this case gone as bad as the Dems do
My prediction – based on my writing this article and having repeatedly outed Butina as part of the Democrat-Russian plot to taint POTUS – is that DOJ is going to “make a deal” and kick Maria Butina out of the United States PRONTO, just like they helped skedaddle those lovely Russian neighbors of Nikolas Cruz in idyllic Broward County, back to Moscow for good.
Nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see. Trust the Democrats, their pet RINOs, and the NeverTrump anti-dupes. There’s nothing to see.
So what is the greater significance of this?
It is a waypoint – a piece of the puzzle – a CLUE to a much bigger thing.
Are you starting to put the pieces together? I hope so.
Stay tuned. More dots are coming.

If the Democrats actually cared about Putin influencing America, they would defend the Second Amendment with their very last breath. Smoke and mirrors, people. Smoke and mirrors.
