Summer is here. It’s time for a break, especially from politics. Why waste time thinking about Hunter Biden’s convictions and President Joe Biden’s lack of them when we could, like Donald Trump, be enjoying our freedom while we can?

Let’s take a vacation in Europe. They have politics there, too, but a change is as good as a rest. European politics, like European food, differs from country to country, is frequently indigestible, and mostly resembles the American versions, only in smaller, historically accurate servings. Europe is full of history. This is why Europe isn’t modern. Then again, if “modern” means new, rather than mid-century, is the United States still modern?
