There was an item in my FB feed that today is the anniversary of the death of Felix-Joseph Barbelin, a 19th century Jesuit priest known as the "Apostle of Philadelphia" who served as the first president of what's now St. Joseph's University.

It is worth noting that the Executive Director of the White House FIFA Task Force, Andrew Giuliani (sigh), told the BBC that excluding Somali referee Omar Artan "was the right decision by customs and border patrol and I support that decision."
Which gives me zero confidence.
Omar Artan, who was set to be the first Somali to referee at the World Cup finals, is dropped from the list of officials after he was denied entry to the United States.

Polls are now closed in Maine, where #MEGov (for both parties) and #ME02 (for Dems) are the main attractions. However, it may be a week or more before we know the results of ranked-choice tabulations, which will likely be needed.
