Nancy Mace says 'trantifa' wants to kill her as office is bombarded with threats over trans bathroom war Sign up for the latest with DailyMail.com's U.S. politics newsletter By SARAH EWALL-WICE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM IN WASHINGTON, DC Published: 16:29 EST, 22 November 2024 | Updated: 16:55 EST, 22 November 2024 e-mail 11 View comments Congresswoman Nancy Mace said 'trantifa' wants to kill her as she crusades against trans women using women's facilities including bathrooms and locker rooms. The South Carolina lawmaker was responding to a report on X on Friday about a transperson in Portland, Oregon threatening to murder her. 'NGL. I had to google “trantifa.” I’ve learned a lot this week,' Mace wrote. 'These people deserve a room in prison and/or a mental ward,' she continued before calling out Oregon leaders. 'Also, wondering out loud what @Portland_State and Oregon Governor @TinaKotek think about an alleged student threatening to kill a Congresswoman?' she went on. She was responding to a post that identified the person posting a series of threats against Mace and author J.K. Rowling as a 24-year-old transgender student activist based in Portland . 'Trantifa' is a term that refers to a rise in extremism and threats of violence from far-left transgender activists. A United Nations investigator warned about the trend last year. Mace's use of it comes after she sparked a firestorm this week by introducing a resolution to block trans women from using women's bathrooms at the U.S. Capitol on Monday. Her push comes as the first transgender member of Congress Sarah McBride is set to arrive in Washington in January. House Speaker Mike Johnson said in response that facilities for a gender at the U.S. Capitol are reserved for those of that biological sex, blocking McBride from using the women's bathroom. Rep. Nancy Mace speaking to reporters at the U.S. Capitol on November 21. She said 'trantifa' wants to kill her as she pushes to ban trans women from women's restrooms in an escalating bathroom debate Mace went a step further on Wednesday. She also introduced a bill to ban transgender women from using women's facilities at all federal properties across the United States. She argues that she is protecting women but her efforts have sparked fiery responses from people on both sides of the issue. Critics have asked how her push would be enforced. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed the ban would endanger women with people wanting to check their privates in the name of enforcement. Mace has taken a combat approach in her fight calling out critics and firing off a series of posts on social media and doing interviews with conservative news outlets. Mace said she has been receiving threats because of her efforts, but she vowed she would not backdown. On Thursday, Mace was speaking at an event at Georgetown in Washington when a protester holding up an LGBTQ+ pride flag interrupted the panel from the audience. 'This is ridiculous. It is the day after Trans Day of Visibility. We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading,' Evan Greer, a transgender activist, shouted while being escorted from the auditorium. 'Are we're building an internet with free speech for everyone or just the privileged few? Are you gonna stand up for the lives of trans people? Black and brown people? Are we fighting for justice or are we fighting for big tech?' she said as there was some scattered applause. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna was also participating in the event where he clashed with Mace saying the two have a 'profound disagreement' on transgender rights. He thanked Greer for her activism. Evan Greer, a Boston-based left-wing activist, musician, writer and transgender woman, confronted Rep. Mace at an event at Georgetown on Thursday Since announcing her resolution, Mace has posted or reposted more than 300 times on X about the issue as of Friday afternoon, DailyMail.com analysis found. Some of the posts have included accusations like 'The Left wants to NORMALIZE balls in women’s stalls.' She also posted with a selfie video 'No balls in our stalls.' She has clashed with activists online as well as current and former colleagues in the House. In one post she wrote in response to former Congressman Adam Kinzinger: 'It’s ok Adam, even though you don’t have balls anymore, you can still use the men’s room.' 'You need help. You’re on the verge of something unhealthy,' Kinzinger fired back online.

Georgetown is set to play its first road game of the season while West Virginia attempts to build off its successful 2-1 trip to the Bahamas when the former conference rivals meet on Friday in Morgantown, W. Va., as part of the Big 12-Big East Battle. Picked 13th out of 16 in the Big 12 preseason coaches' poll, West Virginia (5-2) has been riding the hot shooting of Javon Small and Tucker DeVries. Small averages a team-high 19 points and shoots 41.3 percent on 3-pointers while DeVries adds 14.9 points per game and hits on 46.9 percent of his threes. Every basket was needed last week as the Mountaineers upset then-No. 3 Gonzaga and then-No. 24 Arizona with a loss to Louisville sandwiched in between. All three contests went into overtime, believed to be a first in program history. First-year coach Darian DeVries, who led Drake to three NCAA Tournaments in the last four seasons, had never seen anything like it. "I've never been a part of three games like that, especially with the quality of opponents that we went up these last three days," he said after the Arizona win. "Just incredible resolve and grit and toughness from our group all three nights." Georgetown has started 7-1 for the first time since the 2018-19 season and has done so with a completely revamped roster that includes 14 freshmen or sophomores. As a result of an inexperienced squad, coach Ed Cooley specifically delayed the Hoyas' first trip out of the nation's capital. "Obviously, the competition is going to change," Cooley said after the Hoyas defeated UMBC 86-62 on Monday. "We systematically scheduled this way to build confidence, continuity and chemistry and let our players feel what it is to win, and that's something hopefully that will have some carryover as we now get ready to head out on the road for the first time." Since losing to Notre Dame on Nov. 16, Georgetown has won five straight games by an average of 25.2 points. Thomas Sorber leads the Hoyas in scoring at 15.8 points per game and leads the conference in rebounding at 8.9 per game. Sorber was named as the Big East Freshman of the Week for the third time in four weeks. Georgetown holds the narrowest of leads in the all-time series at 27-26. The two schools met 27 times between 1995 and 2012 as league foes. The Mountaineers captured their lone Big East Championship in 2010 by defeating the Hoyas 60-58 at Madison Square Garden. --Field Level Media

NoneSan Diego federal judge nominee now a political pawn in run-up to Trump inauguration( MENAFN - Caribbean News Global) KINGSTON, Jamaica – Caribbean countries need to urgently address the growing challenge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). NCDs account for over 75 percent of all deaths in the region, with devastating economic consequences, including productivity losses and unsustainable healthcare costs. This critical message was emphasized by health experts from the World bank and regional health organizations during a public discussion as part of the Ask WBG Series . In countries like Barbados and Jamaica, NCDs lead to losses equivalent to 5.34 percent and 5.87 percent of GDP, respectively. Jamaica alone has seen $17.2 billion in lost economic output over 15 years. Without targeted interventions, the region faces rising premature deaths -40 percent of NCD-related deaths occur before age 70 – and escalating healthcare expenditures. “The current losses to economies from health care costs and lost productivity is massive and projected to increase exponentially as our populations age. The future of health in the Caribbean must be one where we act decisively to address non-communicable diseases and protect our economies” said Lilia Burunciuc, World Bank's country director for the Caribbean. The discussion shed light on critical gaps in NCD policies, with Caribbean nations implementing less than 40 percent of recommended measures. Priority areas for improvement include increasing taxes on tobacco and alcohol, restricting unhealthy food marketing, and promoting physical activity. No Caribbean country currently meets the WHO-recommended 75 percent tax share on tobacco. Dr Edit Velenyi, World Bank's senior economist, highlighted that investments in NCD prevention yield high returns. In Jamaica, for every $1 spent on NCD prevention, $2.1 is gained in healthcare savings and productivity, with potential GDP savings of 4.3 percent and 5,700 lives saved over 15 years. Experts offered a set of policy recommendations: The panel speakers included Dr Shana Cyr-Philbert, senior medical officer, ministry of health, wellness, and elderly affairs, Saint Lucia; Dr Kenneth Connell, president of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition; and Dr Heather Armstrong, head of the NCDs Unit at The Caribbean Public Health Agency. These experts shared their valuable insights on tackling the pressing issue of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Caribbean. Recognizing the unique challenges of tackling NCDs in island nations, such as limited healthcare resources and geographic isolation, experts highlighted the critical role of innovative solutions in addressing these issues effectively. Innovations in technology, policy, and community-based approaches were emphasized as essential tools for overcoming these barriers. Experts also stressed that tackling the NCD challenge will require coordinated and collaborative efforts with partners and civil society organizations, not only at the national level but also across the entire region. The World Bank is working with the Caribbean governments to help countries address these challenges by focusing on areas such as improving health financing, enhancing health management information systems, strengthening care for non-communicable diseases, and boosting hospital sector performance. Through these efforts, the bank supports countries in their journey toward achieving universal health coverage and building resilient, efficient health systems tailored to the region's needs.
