This is just CYA for the anti-Semitic story backlash. They do some mild hits on leftists to say “see, we’re fair”. The worst they could bring themselves to kid Obama was “he’s too much of a policy wonk”.
Of course, horses came over the Bering Strait too. The natural culture of Native Americans involve sitting on horses and gazing wisely over the plains, until white men came and ruined it all. At least, that is what every art gallery in Sedona leads me to believe.
Mortadella, right? I got to live into my 40’s before I found out. Thought it was just bologna (well, it is the original bologna). Tried some on a cruise ship, and I got hooked. I get authentic Italian mortadella at a deli in Seattle. The only reason I’ve ventured there in the past few years.
Dragunovs are on the list. They are not sniper rifles. They are squad battle rifles, meant to increase the firepower range of a squad, kind of like the army uses the M-14 EBR. EBR = Enhanced Battle Rifle.
That is the accepted name for this class of weapon. Everyone gets twitterpated by the Dragunov’s cool “Soviet Industrial” styling, and the scope (me too), but it’s a battle rifle.
Yeah, it’s not often the winners appeal a verdict. The church wanted a broader ruling, and didn’t get it. I’m assuming they could have been overturned too, if the Supreme Court had taken the case, so be careful what you wish for.
