After Duke center Kyle Filipowski was injured by fans storming the court at Wake Forest, and Caitlin Clark was knocked down at Ohio State, there’s been some call for the NCAA to ban court storming after basketball games.

How about this

A five minute head start for players to get off the court. Then storm away. The only people who in that case would get hurt would be the stormers themselves.

As most of us went to work Monday morning, your reminder that the House GOP is still on vacation, with not only the foreign aid and border bills languishing, but a government shutdown looming in about 10 days.

Mitch McConnell speech today largely focused on grocery prices. So why didn’t he mention Biden’s FTC just moved to help consumers by suing to block Kroger-Albertson merger?!!

As Trump appeals keeps saying there were no victims in his civll fraud case… How many million of Americans at some point couldn’t get a loan, or paid a much higher rate, because we told the banks HONESTLY what our salaries and assets were?

New idea: If House won’t invite Pres. Biden to give State of the Union at U.S. Capitol, why doesn’t Joe use GOP-approved move – a speech on White House South Lawn?

No Republican complained when Donald had his RNC speech there & there’s room for Congress if they want to attend.

A “travel related” case of measles has been reported in Central Florida. Where Deathsantis’s anti-vax Surgeon General has said parents can choose if they keep their unvaccinated kids home when they get measles. Good thing there’s not a lot of tourism to Central Florida…

So a former consultant for Dean Phillips now admits his role in trying to convince Democrats not to vote in New Hampshire primary. The odds of Phillips winning even one delegate have been low. Sometimes I think the odds of Dean being arrested for fraud are getting higher.

Rachel Maddow tonight on Steve Bannon etc now claiming EVERY election GOP loses is stolen, including non-close elections like Tom Suozzi’s win in NY. A bad thing about MSM media being doom & gloom on Biden: If/when Joe wins in Nov, it fuels GOP claims that Trump should have won.

So Trump lost about 40% of vote in South Carolina primary & media painted it as a huge win. Now approaching Michigan primary CNN talking about protest votes against President Biden over Gaza. Thinking any number over 2% will be painted as “very concerning” for his re-election.

Looks like US may get pandas again. The San Diego Zoo could have them as early as this summer.

And apparently the pandas’ return to the US rooted in meetings between President Biden & President Xi in California in November. During the face-to-face meetings, the two presidents discussed ways to ease tensions between the two nations.

Another Dark Brandon win!!!
