CATHOLIC: Tulsa cathedral priest Father Brian O’Brien shared the story of a DoorDash driver who accidentally entered the cathedral after going to the wrong door to deliver lunch to a nearby office. The driver, who had never been inside a Catholic church, was struck by its beauty. After completing the delivery, he went home and began researching Catholicism. He has now started OCIA, taking his first steps toward joining the Catholic Church.
DEMOCRATS: Alaska has an unusual election procedure called ranked-choice voting (RCV) in which voters rank candidates in order of preference (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd). If no one gets more than 50% of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and those votes transfer to the next ranked choice until someone wins.
The current Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate is Mary Peltola.
Her opponent is the Republican incumbent, Senator Dan S. Sullivan.
A third candidate is named Dan J. Sullivan.
A fourth candidate is another Dan Sullivan who used to be mayor of Anchorage.
One guess who is behind getting extra Dan Sullivans on the ballot.
FAFO: When Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla tried to silence Ambassador Mark Waltz’s speech exposing corruption in the Cuban government, he shoved an American. Sec. Marco Rubio has had him expelled from the country.
PJ Media reports, “The whole thing started over a non-binding resolution demanding an end to the U.S. economic, commercial, and financial embargo on Cuba, which comes up for a vote Wednesday. According to the New York Post, Waltz used his speaking time to show who actually benefits from the Cuban system. That would be a ruling class with real estate, luxury watches, and private jets, while regular Cubans suffer through blackouts and shortages.”
