There are some tickets going for really high prices on Sunday.

Not just that game in Las Vegas. But when Iowa’s women’s basketball plays Nebraska on Sunday, Caitlin Clark is only 39 points away from the all-time women’s college basketball scoring record.

Ticket prices range from about $150 to over $1000…

No guarantees. Clark might not break the record until Iowa’s home game February 15 against Michigan. But unlike the Super Bowl, when she does, it won’t be an event repeated next year.

We’re less than a week from “Pitchers and catchers report.” Here’s the question, however, for many big name free agents ”Report where?

Maybe if we can make it a fantasy betting game more people will pay attention to this election. Thanks to Stephen Colbert and his team for the graphics.

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly “When you come back to my state to do TV interviews at the border , you better be ready to explain why you chose politics over addressing this crisis that’s staring you in the face. This a shameful week for the U.S. Senate” . He’s right.

Lindsey Graham says, trying to justify “This has been a half-assed effort to deal with border security.”

What an insult to Senator James Lankford, Krysten Sinema & Chris Murphy, along w/ many others who spent months including nights & weekends working on bill. How much effort did Graham put in?

Another WTF media moment. Have seen a few headlines about Trump’s “big win” in the GOP caucuses in the US VIrgin Islands

The vote total, 182 to 64.

Yes that is a big percentage win. But 250 total votes? More people vote for homecoming king-queen in small high schools.

As national media goes after Biden on potential memory issues… moe GOP “I don’t recall” history

I can post these all night.

October 2021: Jim Jordan: “I ‘Don’t Recall’ Number of Times Trump and I Spoke on Jan. 6.

April 2022. Marge Three Names responded, “I don’t remember”—to every single question about who she talked to before during and after Jan. 6. Or if she made threatening statements and/or discussed possible violence.

2018: Amy Klobuchar questioning now SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh if he ever “drank so much you didn’t remember what happened night before, or part of what happened?”

“You’re asking about a blackout? I don’t know, have you?”

Forget theater:

The biggest political story of week SHOULD be: GOP, after claiming border is USA top priority crisis, tanked decent bipartisan solution co-written by conservative Senator James Lankford. Because Trump wants people to suffer to make Biden look bad. Period.
