“If you’re a biological man, you shouldn’t be in women’s restrooms.“ That’s just common sense—and common courtesy to women. Yet Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, is being crucified by Democrat House members for wanting women’s spaces to be for women only. “This is not just bigotry, this is just plain bullying,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., whined to Axios. A co-chair of the House Equality Caucus, Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., told Axios, “The cruelty is the point.” Mace announced her resolution Monday, a couple months before Tim McBride, who wishes to be known as Sarah McBride, is slated to begin his first House term. (McBride announced he had “transitioned” while a student at American University in the 2011-2012 school year.) Mace’s resolution would require lawmakers and staffers to use bathrooms matching their birth sex. Asked by reporters if her resolution was related to McBride, Mace said, “Yes.” “If someone with a penis is in a women’s locker room that’s not OK,” she added. “I’m a victim of abuse myself. I’m a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man, and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.” “I’m absolutely 100% gonna stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms. I will be there fighting you every step of the way,” Mace finished. Good for her. Woke reporter asks Rep. Nancy Mace (R) why she wants to exclude men from the female bathroom in Congress.Her response: pic.twitter.com/PHUXmbXIBO— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 19, 2024 Look, I feel genuinely sorry for McBride. No one tries to “change” their gender without real suffering. If McBride is uncomfortable in the men’s restrooms in the Capitol and offices, he absolutely should be provided with a gender-neutral single stall bathroom. But that doesn’t mean that women have to share a private space with him. Contra AOC, it’s McBride who is the bully here, not Mace. The election results also suggest that it’s Mace, not McBride, who is representing the views of the American people. The Trump campaign ran an ad featuring Harris talking about providing gender transition treatment for prisoners, and ended with the line “Kamala’s for they/them. President Trump is for you.” A different version of the ad featured Charlemagne Tha God, a black radio host, talking about Harris’ views and also noted that Harris supported biological males in women’s sports. That ad was extremely damaging to Harris, according to a PAC that supported her. The ad “shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it,” reported the New York Times. Additional data further bolsters the case that Trump’s win was driven in part by voters sick of the radical transgender ideology. Blueprint, a liberal polling firm, reported that a top reason given by swing voters who did not support Harris, was that “Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class.” An exit poll of voters from Concerned Women for America found that 7 out of 10 voters said that “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender boys and men playing girls and women’s sports and of transgender boys and men using girls and women’s bathrooms,” was an important issue for them. There’s little recent public polling on men using women’s bathrooms, but a 2022 Pew Research Center survey found that 41% of Americans agreed that trans people should use the bathroom that matched their birth sex, while only 31% opposed. Twenty-eight percent of Americans were undecided on the issue.  In other words, it’s again Mace, not McBride, who is voicing the view more Americans hold. So far, Democrats largely seem to be in denial about what the election results mean for their radical policies. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., dared to voice that maybe his two daughters shouldn’t have to play sports with biological males. His remark set off a firestorm:  “Mr. Moulton’s campaign manager resigned in protest. The Democratic governor of Massachusetts rebuked him. And the chair of the political science department at Tufts University threatened to block his students from interning in Mr. Moulton’s office,” reported the New York Times. In Texas, the state Democrat Party chairman resigned after expressing concern about the left’s transgender policies. Meanwhile, House Democrats seem determined to win McBride access to women’s bathrooms. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, House minority leader and the top Democrat, called Mace’s move “bullying,” per Reuters. The path forward for Mace’s resolution is unclear. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today, “This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before. We’re going to do that in a deliberate fashion with members’ consensus on it, and we will accommodate the needs of every single person.” Mace either wants her resolution in a rules package or, if that doesn’t happen, will force a vote on the resolution in the next term, reports The Washington Post. McBride, for his part, is arguing the Republicans are focusing on the wrong issue. “This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing. We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars,” he posted on X. But if McBride wants to stop the issue, he has the option to just not use the women’s bathrooms. Instead, he’s trying to act like he’s the victim, not the aggressor, and paint Mace and her supporters, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, as the aggressors. “America is fed up with the trans ideology being shoved into our face,” Greene told reporters, according to NPR. “Women have been the victim of this garbage for long enough.” For too long, Americans have refused to say the emperor has no clothes, and have watched and fallen in line with the radicals who say anyone can be any gender. Yet Trump’s victory seems to mark a changing in the tide, a realization among Americans that they don’t have to just shut up and take it. Yes, we should be polite and kind—but truth matters. Reality matters. No one, including the trans person, is served by endless lying, by free allowance for anyone to appropriate any gender. Men shouldn’t be in women’s bathrooms. McBride’s comfort should not take precedence over Mace’s comfort, any more than Rachel Dolezal’s views should take precedence over actual black Americans’ views. We should listen to the rape survivor, not the man. The post Did They Learn Nothing From 2024 Election? Democrats Fight for Man in Women’s Bathroom appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Germany Says Cut Undersea Cables Were Sabotage (Did Russia Target a Third Cable?)

The British luxury vehicle brand Jaguar released a bizarre new ad Tuesday, prompting intense criticism along with questions about whether the company was still in the business of making cars and whether it may have confused November for so-called Pride month. Jaguar leaned into the backlash to its loud and car-less campaign ostensibly celebrating deviancy, suggesting that its hackneyed call to defy the "ordinary" — already uniformly and reflexively resisted by massive companies, Western governments, the media, and various other institutions unmoored by tradition — was an introduction to "the future." Provocative advertisements have long been used to court controversy, secure earned media, and remind the public that a company and its products still exist. Facing a chicken delivery management crisis in the United Kingdom and widespread closures, the KFC Corporation leaned on the creative agency Mother in 2018 for a novel way to simultaneously apologize and advertise — printing "FCK," the anagram of its brand name, on chicken buckets. Volkswagen ran its playful "Think Small" campaign in the 1960s to promote the Beetle. Red Bull, evidently keen to sell more energy drinks, had Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner take a helium balloon up to an altitude of 39 kilometers, jump, break the sound barrier, and land on his feet in New Mexico. Apple released an ad earlier this year titled "Crush" in which a compressor destroyed the various tools and means for real-world artistic endeavors and in-person activities that its new device would apparently replace and virtualize. On Tuesday, Jaguar gave it a go, launching an ad campaign on social media with the caption "Copy nothing." The video opens with a feminine individual with a Pacman-shaped afro leading five androgynous individuals dressed in misshapen apparel out of an elevator and onto a pink moonscape. The text "delete ordinary" appears over a subsequent shot of an individual painting white lines. 'Fire your marketing team.' In the following shot, a masculine figure wearing a dress and wielding a yellow sledgehammer appears in a blue room with the text "Break moulds." Finally, the cast of androgynes, now joined by a heavyset black woman, crews together on the pink moonscape and strikes a well-choreographed pose. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in response to the ad, "Do you sell cars?" Conservative writer and author Peachy Keenan shared a screenshot of the opening still and wrote, "You lost me at :01." Keenan added, "Copy nothing [b]ut the worst, stalest cultural trends so you can subvert a storied brand. Congrats and no thanks." "Well ... we know where the advertising team for Bud Light went," wrote Nick Freitas, Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates. "Jaguar just pulled a Bud Light," wrote End Wokeness. "Wtf is this?" Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck tweeted, "Fire your marketing team and drop the woke stuff." When asked, "What the actual hell is this[?]" the company responded, "The future." The company's corresponding splash page states, "We're here to delete ordinary. To go bold. To copy nothing." Rather than credit the Ohio band Devo or fashion designer Pierre Cardin with its new aesthetic, Jaguar said in a release that its "transformation is defined by Exuberant Modernism, a creative philosophy that underpins all aspects of the new Jaguar brand world." Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover suggested to Car Dealer Magazine that the company is looking to sell to "younger, more affluent, and urban livers." Like Blaze News?

Donald Trump's presidential victory earlier this month has thrown the trajectory of his legal challenges into question.On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) asked for the New York criminal case against Trump to be put on hold during his presidency. 'A total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American people.'While Trump's legal team sought to dismiss the case outright, Bragg opted instead to freeze it. Bragg's move may suggest that he hopes to revisit the case after Trump is no longer in office.Prosecutors from Bragg's office wrote to Judge Juan Merchan, "The people deeply respect the office of the president, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that defendant's inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions.""We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system," prosecutors added.Trump, who was found guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, was slated to face sentencing on November 26. With Merchan's approval of Bragg's freeze request, that date will be pushed back indefinitely.Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, celebrated the pause and called it "a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American people."He told the New York Times, "The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump's legal team is moving to get it dismissed once and for all."The other state-level case lodged against Trump — this one in Georgia — also appears to be on hold. On Monday evening, the state appeals court abruptly canceled a December 5 pretrial hearing to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the case after it was discovered she was having an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since stepped down.The court did not provide a reason for the decision but noted that the hearing was tossed "until further order of this court."Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who brought the motion to recuse Willis, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the unexpected cancellation is "not something you normally see.""They could reschedule it," Merchant said. "It could mean they don't need to hear oral arguments and can decide it on the merits."Townhall columnist Phil Holloway concurred with Merchant's assessment, predicting that the court "might" be prepared to rule without hearing oral arguments."If so, that likely means bad news for Willis," Holloway stated.The two federal cases against Trump, led by special counsel Jack Smith, also seem to be nearing their conclusions. Sources told the Times that Smith intends to wrap up his involvement with the cases and step down before Trump's inauguration, Blaze News previously reported.For the Washington, D.C., federal case alleging that Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Smith has requested the cancellation of all related deadlines.In the Florida case in which Trump was charged with improperly handling classified documents, Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida had already dismissed the charges. While Smith initially sought to appeal the dismissal, he moved to put that appeal on hold last week.The Department of Justice has a long-standing policy not to prosecute a sitting president, claiming that it "would impermissibly undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions," according to its website.Like Blaze News?

Left-wing activist Al Sharpton issued a sharp rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump over his Cabinet and administration nominations and demanded he "deliver" for black America. Sharpton issued a statement Tuesday after Trump made several nominations to his Cabinet and other administration positions. 'The president-elect needs to put his money where his mouth is if he actually wants to deliver for Black America.'“In the two weeks since Donald Trump was elected to a second term, he has put forth a dozen troubling nominees, yet the most alarming factor in his proposed cabinet is that not a single candidate is Black,” wrote Sharpton. He went on to point out the Trump campaign focused on garnering the vote of blacks, especially males, in the presidential election. He also criticized the controversial nomination of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) as U.S. attorney general. “Trump spent this campaign selling himself to Black voters, especially men, by peddling sneakers and implying his criminal convictions would resonate with our community. Instead of meeting the demands of more Black voters who supported him, Donald Trump has proposed an Attorney General nominee wrapped up in an ethics probe over trafficking allegations and a Health Secretary whose views on vaccines and other safeguards could devastate our community." Sharpton then mocked Trump for comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln. "Right now, it appears that the self-proclaimed ‘best president for Black America since Abraham Lincoln’ has lost interest in us," he concluded. "The president-elect needs to put his money where his mouth is if he actually wants to deliver for Black America.”Some Republican members of Congress have publicly opined that Gaetz has zero chance of being approved for attorney general, but others are convinced the nomination is pivotal for the success of the incoming Trump administration. Sharpton has faced criticism after the Harris-Walz campaign divulged in finance records that it had given his nonprofit organization half a million dollars prior to a softball interview between Harris and the activist. Sharpton was paid $650,00 by the nonprofit in 2021. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
