SCOT LEHIGH DAN WASSERMAN GOP economic plan based on disregarding climate change CLEVELAND N iGHT TWO of the Republican convention was themed “Make America Work Again.” Hmmm. If one were a slave to literalism, “MANY MORE SPEECHES ABOUT WHY WE HATE HILLARY, plus a thought or two on jobs” would be a more precise summation of the evening presentation. Fortunately, however, politics is a horseshoes-and- hand grenades affair, where close enough is good enough. Still, contemplating Clinton through the GOP’s Tuesday looking glass called to mind Alice’s protestations to the White Queen. “One can’t believe impossible things,” Alice objected when the queen urged her to do just that. “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” replied the Queen. “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” And when it comes to merely improbable things, and you’ve got the entire day to go about that mental task? Why, the possibilities are endless! But back to jobs and work, which was, after all, the night’s nominal topic. It’s important to understand the JOAN VENNOCHI unstated assumption of the Trump Republican Party’s economic plans: They are premised on disregarding any and all concerns about climate change.

That we are now at the precipice of the renewal of Trump’s political reality show for another three months is a tribute to the media that helped promote his idiocy and the desperation that exists in America today. The coronation of Trump as the official candidate of the Republican Party this week will serve only to remind us that the 2016 version of the Grand Old Party — a party that gave us real leaders and visionaries like Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Reagan – has been hijacked by those who would willingly sacrifice and trade common sense, respect, and compassion for xenophobia, isolation- ism, and electoral expediency.

ARIS—It’s a thin line where the patina of age on Europe’s countless monuments gives way to the onset of neglect. Like with so many loved ones, all is assumed to be fine, until suddenly it’s not. In the wake of the fire last week that gutted Notre Dame, questions are being raised about the state of thousands of other cathedrals, palaces and village spires that have turned France—as well as Italy, Britain and Spain—into open-air museums of Western civilization. If even an iconic building like Notre Dame could not be protected from devastation, if such a potent symbol of France had to scramble for maintenance funds, that lays bare a culture of apathy that can undermine a shared history, as well as the multibillion-dollar tourism industry upon which much of Europe depends. “We are so used to our outstanding cultural heritage in Europe that we tend to forget that it needs constant care and attention,” Tibor Navracsics, the European Union’s top culture official, told The Associated Press. Some say the wake-up call, YTD 6.9.16 Crack serial key, not just for Europe but the whole world, rang in Paris. Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovicis, head of the Europa Nostra heritage foundation, said it was “as if Notre Dame decided to set itself on fire to YTD 6.9.16 Crack serial key the alarm bell. As if she wanted to sacrifice herself for the cause.” Devastating fires have robbed mankind of its knowledge, art and treasures since the famed library of Alexandria in northern Egypt burned down in ancient times. Prior to Notre Dame, the last global warning came when Brazil’s Museu Nacional in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most important cultural institutions in South America, burned down in September. “Unfortunately, the fire in Notre Dame is just one of many examples,” said Navracsics. Experts look at the near-endless
list of fires at historical sites in Europe and wonder why officials so often don’t learn before it’s too late. Data on such fires is limited, because monuments are so varied.
