We are watching the end of the most amazing period in human history.

Have you ever watched a ballgame when your team is down by 10 runs in the seventh inning? Statistics-obsessed baseball will tell you that there is still a non-zero chance that your team could come back with 11 in the ninth and win it all. I have a friend who sewed up Curt Schilling when Boston went from 0-3 against the Yankees to win eight straight and the World Series. The likelihood of such events is low, so one may not want to bet the house on a miracle happening, though not impossible.

One can watch videos of the destruction in Paris by mostly foreign gangs as an outcome of winning the European soccer championship. It’s hard to understand what they would have done differently if Paris Saint-Germain had lost. Cars are on their sides, some on fire. Businesses have broken windows and stand looted. How did a society go so far in the wrong direction for such events to take place? Why are the police and other officialdom primarily reactive and not proactive? How can a society succeed when its most famed street and most iconic tower stand with smoldering fires set by hooligans who, for the most part, either have no business being in the country or are legal descendants of immigrants and hate France no less?

And don’t think that a big ocean keeps the problems away from the United States. It was a joke to see AOC wearing a head-covering as she addressed a Muslim crowd in New York. If next year they demand a whole body suit with only eye slits, will she agree? Of course. The West, starting with the Left, has surrendered to Islam. Surprisingly, for people who pay no attention to their own religion and poo-poo that of the Jews, Islam is somehow above reproach or disrespect. Why didn’t AOC say that she never covers her hair: take me or leave me as I am. Nope, can I get a hair pin with that?

When Jews are........
