My guess is this coalition lasts exactly long enough for Likud to get rid of Nrtenyahu. Then the far right parties will just get back in bed with them and continue the fascitising of Israel.

The Maine Legislature is debating L.D. 1225, “An Act To Provide Dignity for Fetal Remains by Requiring Their Interment or Cremation.” As president of the Maine Chapter of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the nation’s largest organization of atheists who defend the separation of church and state, I oppose L.D. 1225.

A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by employees of a Houston hospital system over its requirement that all of its staff be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Houston Methodist Hospital system suspended 178 employees without pay last week over their refusal to get vaccinated. Of them, 117 sued seeking to overturn the requirement and over their suspension and threatened termination.
In a scathing ruling Saturday, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes deemed the lead plaintiff’s contention that the vaccines are “experimental and dangerous” to be false and otherwise irrelevant.
He also said it was “reprehensible” of her to compare the vaccination requirement to the Nazis’ forced medical experimentation on concentration camp captives.

There may be hope for Texas yet.

BOOM!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Biden made a speech and said:
"How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries and everybody knew it? What would it be like if we engaged in activities that he engaged in? It diminishes the standing of a country."
No paragraph more hypocritical than this is possible.

One more down. I missed the Missouri block that happened on the 9th.
