LOL, as if Netanyahu is a honest actor on the world stage. He has a 30% or so approval rating with Israelis and is currently on trial for bribery, fraud, etc. Hanging your hat on that one, eh?
Oh, come one, you were literally doing that in the other thread.
"Don't need a do-over. This thread is about transgender men in women's sports. I'm not aware of what the SOS "just did" or why. Start a thread on that."
Well, you're stupid that way. Bibi has proved that he has the eye on the main chance and doesn't give a shit about ethics and morals but only about power.
Rogan's a little toady for the rich and powerful.

Of all developed western nations’ heads of state, ttump is the runaway winner of the Corruption Derby. There’s an argument to be made that Bibi is #2. A rudimentary heuristic of mine: your relative level of corruption is inversely related to your credibility.

Idaho Lawmakers Want Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Decision
A state legislative committee has advanced a resolution asking that the power to regulate marriage be returned to the states.
“Since 1793, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined a request by President George Washington to offer legal guidance on foreign relations, the court’s justices have steered away from weighing in outside the context of a formal lawsuit.
That has not deterred lawmakers in Idaho, however. This week, a State House committee overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to undo Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 decision that gave same-sex couples the right to marry, and to hand the power to regulate marriage back to the states.
The resolution would still need approval by the full House and the Idaho Senate before any request could be sent to the Supreme Court. Both chambers in Idaho are controlled by Republicans.
“Since court rulings are not laws and only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach,” the resolution reads. It continues: “The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.’’ …”

“… An organization based in Massachusetts called MassResistance has pressed for the resolution, The Idaho Statesman reported. The group describes itself as a “pro-family activist organization” and traces its roots to marriage equality battles in Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage became legal as a result of a 2003 decision by the state’s Supreme Judicial Court.
… Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, legal scholars have said that the same-sex marriage ruling may also be vulnerable. Two of the court’s conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, have suggested that it should be reconsidered.
Still, legal scholars said that Idaho’s approach — with a letter of request, instead of an active legal suit — seemed unlikely to carry weight.
“This is just theater,’’ said Tobias Wolff, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. …”

There are also other attempts (like the Kim Davis appeal) to get Obergefell in front of SCOTUS for reconsideration. And now a MAGA solicitor general can join the fray.Idaho Lawmakers Want Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Decision

Charges Dropped Against Doctor Who Obtained Records on Minors’ Transgender Care
The decision by federal prosecutors came at a time when President Trump was rolling back protections for transgender people.

“Federal prosecutors have dropped charges against a surgeon in Texas who was accused of obtaining and sharing private medical information about gender-transition-related treatments for minors at one of the largest children’s hospitals in the country.Charges Dropped Against Doctor Who Obtained Records on Minors’ Transgender Care
The decision by federal prosecutors came at a time when President Trump was rolling back protections for transgender people.
The surgeon, Dr. Eithan Haim, was indicted last May in U.S. District Court in Houston on four counts of obtaining, under false pretenses, personal medical information from the online system at Texas Children’s Hospital. He requested access to the hospital’s record database in 2023, two years after he last worked there, claiming that he needed the information to provide “adult care services.”
The doctor took the health care information of children who had received transition-related services and disclosed that information to a conservative activist, Christopher Rufo. Mr. Rufo then published an article saying the hospital was continuing to provide transgender care to minors after it had announced an end to the practice.
Dr. Haim, 34, who has acknowledged disclosing the records, pleaded not guilty because he did not think he had done anything wrong, he said in a telephone interview on Saturday from his suburban Dallas home. He called himself a whistle-blower and said he had redacted the patients’ records to hide any identifiable information. …”

The Trump admin press release on transgender military members is just shameful:
“Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.”
It’s not enough to simply refuse to provide gender-affirming care. No, we have to call every transgender person a lying, dishonorable sack of shit too. Don’t hold your breath waiting for @HeelYeah2012 and other self-proclaimed “moderates” who claimed they just wanted trans people left alone as long as they stay out of women’s sports to criticize this.
