Firefighters tackle the blaze as flames and smoke rise from Notre Dame cathedral as it burns in Paris, Monday, April 15, 2019. I am sickened by the footage of the ongoing fire that is, as of this writing, engulfing the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.

Sprinklers?
Become God.
Do not renovate!
Halt and reverse immigration.
