Regional restrictions may apply.) Ticket Cost: $6.19 The Spurs have enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will take on the Portland Trail Blazers at 10:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter after having had a few days off. The Trail Blazers took a loss in their last match and will be looking to turn the tables on the Spurs, who come in off a win. The Spurs will bounce into Friday's game after (finally) beating the Pelicans, who they had gone 2-8 against in their ten prior meetings. The Spurs snuck past the Pelicans with a 121-116 win on Sunday. The victory was some much needed relief for San Antonio as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak. The Spurs' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Victor Wembanyama led the charge by dropping a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds. Wembanyama is becoming a predictor of the Spurs' success: when he posts at least eight rebounds the team is 6-2 (and 6-10 when he doesn't). The Spurs smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 12 offensive rebounds in four consecutive matchups. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers' recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Sunday after their fourth straight loss. They fell 107-98 to the Lakers. The win got San Antonio back to even at 12-12. As for Portland, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-16. Going forward, the Spurs are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last four times they've played. The Spurs beat the Trail Blazers 118-105 in their previous matchup back in November. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Spurs since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

BOSTON — Many people are remembering former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100, after more than a year in hospice care. He was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government as president and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of ex-presidents. He was a peacemaker, a champion of democracy and public health, and a monitor of human rights around the world. Carter said his Baptist faith demanded that he do whatever he could, wherever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. "We're not going to see a political leader like that — you know, coming from the humble origins that he did, a peanut farmer. Someone who basically ran as a non-partisan candidate," said Boston University professor Tom Whalen. "He is a complicated fellow but the bottom line is that he had such enormous integrity both as president and in his post-presidency year that makes him a candidate, in my mind, for Mt. Rushmore." Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey ordered flags in the state to be flown at half-staff through Jan. 28 in honor of Carter's life. "President Carter lived a life dedicated to peace, human rights, democracy and moral clarity. He set an enduring example of what it means to serve others, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come," Healey said in a statement. "I'm sending love and strength to the Carter family as they, and our nation, process this profound loss. May we all honor his memory by building a more just, peaceful and caring world."Prime Minister James Marape’s 2025 New Year Address

End of an EraResults from a new poll may explain why CNN, MSNBC, and other broadcast news channels are experiencing such a sharp drop in viewership since the election: Most adults are fatigued by political news. According to a NORC poll , 65% of people feel the need to limit their consumption of news surrounding government and politics in the wake of the election. The poll found that 72% of Democrats and 59% of Republicans report feeling the need to avoid political news, in addition to 63% of independents. NORC surveyed adults on several other topics, such as the economy, foreign affairs, and climate change. The results show that the only other issues causing a majority of respondents to limit their news consumption are overseas conflicts. Fifty-one percent of respondents feel the need to avoid news about foreign conflicts overall, including 54% of Democrats, 52% of independents, and 47% of Republicans. The poll results coincide with recent lackluster ratings for left-leaning broadcast outlets. CNN , for example, has seen a 45% drop in prime-time viewership and 33% overall since the election. MSNBC is down 46% overall. CNN finished 2024 with the network's smallest viewership in history, and its 2024 election night coverage had 44% fewer viewers than its 2020 coverage. Fox News, on the other hand, has seen its ratings surge. After the election, the network boasted a record 70% share of the total cable news audience. The poll also looked at how adults respond to businesses, athletes, and celebrities making political statements. The plurality of respondents of each political affiliation, and overall, were supportive of small businesses making such statements but opposed large corporations engaging in such behavior. Democrats support public political statements by businesses, athletes, and celebrities significantly more than Republicans and independents do. They are the only group whose plurality supports such statements from large corporations, athletes, and celebrities.

The plurality of independents are neutral on the matter. The NORC poll was conducted from Dec. 5 to Dec. 9, surveying 1,251 adults across the nation from a sample that included 44% Democrats and 37% Republicans.
