    The medal is from the order vitézi rend.

    The order of Vitezi
    The group has the distinction of being on a list of Nazi collaborators at the State Department. According to LobeLog:
    Eva Balogh, founder of the news analysis blog Hungarian Spectrum and former professor of Eastern European History at Yale University, confirmed to LobeLog the identity of the medal worn by Gorka. She said:

    Yes, the medal is of the “vitézi rend” established by Miklós Horthy in 1920. He, as a mere governor, didn’t have the privilege to ennoble his subjects as the king could do before 1918, and therefore the “knightly order” he established was a kind of compensation for him. Officers and even enlisted men of exceptional valor could become knights. Between 1920 and 1944 there were 23,000 such knights. The title was inheritable by the oldest son. I found information that makes it clear that Gorka’s father, Pál Gorka, used the title. However, since he was born in 1930 he couldn’t himself be the one “knighted.” So, most likely, it was Gorka’s grandfather who was the original recipient.
    Horthy would become the head of Hungary.


    Unlike Poland, which was under German rule, Hungary was a willing ally of Nazi Germany. Hungary adopted antisemitic legislation emulating Germany’s Nuremberg Laws beginning in 1938. With its entry into the war in 1941, Hungary sent 100,000 Jewish men to forced labor, where 40,000 died. That same year, the Hungarian government deported at least 15,000 Jews to German-occupied Ukraine, where they were murdered.

    Although Hungary was initially resistant to mass deportations of its Jews, in early 1944 it agreed to do so. After the Germans occupied the country in March 1944, they sent a small SS detachment led by Adolf Eichmann to Budapest to work with a newly appointed prime minister and a more cooperative government. With the approval of Miklos Horthy, the Hungarian head of state, the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior, police, gendarmerie, and local civilian administrators carried out the deportations. In a matter of weeks, from May to early July, they forced 440,000 Jews into ghettos, stripped them of their possessions, and loaded them into trains. Some 425,000 were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. More than three-quarters of them were gassed on arrival, and additional tens of thousands died from disease, starvation, and harsh treatment.

    Seventy-five percent of Hungary’s Jews would be dead by the end of the Holocaust. So the man that started the group that Gorky wants historic “heritage” ties to was a huge anti-Semite who collaborated in the murder of Jewish men, women, and children.

    “In post-World War II Hungary, no noble titles of any sort can be officially used,” said Balogh. “The ‘knightly order’ no longer officially exists. However, right-wing émigrés kept the order going abroad.”

    She later added, “Many supporters of the Horthy regime were enamored by the Nazis and Hitler and the ‘knights’ were especially so. Put it that way, after 1948 one wouldn’t have bragged about his father being a ‘vitéz.’ Lately, however, especially since 2010, it has become fashionable again to boast about such ‘illustrious’ ancestors.”

    Are they Nazis? No. Do they kind of want to maybe be Nazis? Possibly. Do people like Gorka and others want to re-imagine right-wing fascistic European history romantically? Yes

    I love to read these stories, I bet that idiot thought her husband would be alright because "he's one of the good ones", racist don't believe in that shit. The only good brown and blacks are the ones with a lot of money. Hopefully the GOP does not pass Steve King's "anchor babies" bill otherwise her daughters could be screwed.

    Cliffs; Slaw passes a new conceal carry law. Had some really bad shit (exemptions omitted) and passed amendment. NRA says no no no we liked it the way it was passed ie take your gun to Razorback games

    Arkansas Legislators reload for another shot at guns-on-campus law
    Latest NewsTalk Politics
    by Wesley Brown (
    [​IMG]
    Although Act 562 is now the law of the land, Senate Bill 724 by Senate Pro Tempore Jonathan Dismang, R-Searcy, which attaches several new revisions to the legislation, was approved Thursday (March 23) by the Senate in a 22-8 vote, with three members not voting. SB724 now moves to the House, where lawmakers have recessed until Monday.

    That proposal, which Dismang ran through the Senate Judiciary Committee following the governor’s press conference on Wednesday, includes several new amendments that would exempt the gun owners from carrying a concealed firearm at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), the State Hospital, and collegiate athletic events.

    The Dismang amendment would also allow private universities and colleges to adopt a policy to post a “no guns allowed” notice on its premises, and protects state-supported and public universities and colleges from legal claims for monetary damages related to incidents involving a concealed carry licensee.

    NRA national spokesman Lars Dalseide said late Thursday afternoon that the Washington, D.C.-based gun lobby supports the original legislation (Act 562) signed into law less than 24 hours ago, and will work to stop SB724 when it arrives in the House Judiciary Committee next week.

    “People have the constitutional right to self-defense wherever they are legally allowed to be,” Lars said, adding that SB724 erases some of those rights.

    Since the original legislation was filed by Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville, on Feb 23, the frantic efforts to amend HB1249 caused the NRA to pick sides and pitted many of the legislature’s most avid gun rights proponents against each other. HB1249 has been amended seven times in committee, endured four battles on the Senate floor and approved by the House two times in the space of 40 days before it was finally passed into law on March 15. Under the newly enacted law, concealed carry licensees can carry their weapons at public and state-supported universities along with public buildings, including the Capitol grounds, if they have completed an eight-hour active shooter training designed by the Arkansas State Police.

    They also can carry a weapon in places of worship, bars and certain restaurants, unless those establishments post a notice prohibiting guns at those locations. Exceptions include courtrooms and administrative hearings, K-12 public schools, and state prison facilities.

    A much different version of the bill passed the House earlier in the session. The original bill allowed only faculty and staff with a concealed carry permit to carry a weapon on college campuses. It eliminated an opt out provision contained in legislation passed in 2013 and also sponsored by Collins. Under that law, public higher education institutions could allow their staff members to carry a weapon, but they also could opt out of allowing them to do so. All of the state’s colleges and universities opted out.

    Dismang’s legislation on the Senate floor Thursday added another amendment after the upper chamber expunged an earlier 22-10 vote that did not fully clarify whether an exemption for “public teaching hospital” could loosely be interpreted to include any of the state-supported colleges and universities that provided health education. The final draft approved by the Senate now states that “a ‘public teaching hospital’ includes without limitation the premises and buildings of (UAMS).”

    Gov. Hutchinson and Collins on Wednesday gave tepid approval of Dismang’s eleventh-hour amendment at Wednesday’s press conference. Collins said he originally supported exempting UAMS from the list of state-supported educational institutions that allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons, but that proposal did not make it in the final draft of Act 562.

    “I remain open to achieving our main goal, which is protecting the lives of our loved ones,” Collins said.

    The effective date of the new law is Sept. 1, 2017, but the State Police Department has 120 days to work out the details and design of the enhanced training program. Arkansas State Police Chief William Bryant said his staff will work with public and private partners to design and promulgate new rules for the enhanced concealed carry program by Jan. 1, 2018.

    Just listened to the first ep of Lovett or Leave It. My biggest take away is the it's really important to Lovett that we all know he doesn't know anything about sports.

    Enjoyed it overall though. Pretty fun
