Notre-Dame Cathedral Reborn: A Testament to Resilience and Restoration

  After five years of meticulous reconstruction, the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral is set to reopen its doors to the public on December 8, 2024. The reopening ceremony will take place on December 7, marking a significant milestone in the cathedral's history. The fire on April 15, 2019, caused extensive damage to the historic cathedral, collapsing its iconic spire and causing significant harm to its roof, stained-glass windows, and interior artworks. Despite initial doubts and estimates that the restoration could take up to 40 years, French President Emmanuel Macron's ambitious goal to complete the reconstruction within five years has been achieved.

Trump’s Chilling New Courthouse Rant Gets Put On Ice By Critics

 

Former President Donald Trump found himself in a chilly situation during his trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Complaining about the low temperatures in the courtroom, he lamented, “I’m sitting here for days now, from morning til night, in that freezing room, freezing, everybody was freezing in there.”

By most accounts, the courtroom was indeed quite cold. Trump’s attorney even asked the judge to raise the temperature by “just one degree,” but the judge declined, preferring a cooler room over a warmer one. Social media had a field day with Trump’s frosty complaints. Critics pointed out that the cool temperatures might help keep him awake, especially since he reportedly fell asleep in court on days one and two. Some reactions were less sympathetic, with tweets like:

  • “Somebody get this guy some cheese  to go with that… ‘whine’…”
  • “They are keeping the courtroom ‘freezing’ to keep Trump awake.”
  • “His ultimate destination? Will be hot. Promise you.”

Perhaps Trump needs a winter parka for the trial or even one of those foil blankets he once gave to immigrant children. As a former casino owner, he should know that cold temperatures keep people alert But don’t worry, his jail cell will likely be warmer.

In the end, Trump’s chilling courtroom rant got a frosty reception from critics. Whether he’ll warm up to the proceedings remains to be seen.
