I will give Melania credit for shielding her son and not using him as a political prop. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Jared Kushner plots Balkan development deals
Luxury real estate deals nearing in Albania, Serbia

Jared Kushner has been in no rush to deploy his firm’s investments, but is floating plans for luxury development deals in the Balkans.

Kushner’s Affinity Partners is closing on several significant real estate deals in the Balkans, he confirmed to the New York Times. The deals would represent some of the biggest investments made by Kushner’s firm, while also reigniting ethical questions he and his father-in-law, Donald Trump.

In Belgrade, the firm would sign a 99-year lease with the Serbian government to build a luxury hotel and 1,500-unit residential project. The project at the former Yugoslav Army headquarters — destroyed by NATO in 1999 — would also have a museum.

The site is the same one eyed by Donald Trump two years before he began his presidential campaign, and where Trump Organization associates traveled for an inspection, according to the Times. The deal was ultimately scrapped when Trump was elected in 2016, when he promised to end foreign dealmaking.

Another plan is to build a luxury hotel and villas on Sazan, an island in the south of Albania that was used as a secret military base for submarines.

It’s been vacant since the end of the Cold War, but stretches two square miles and is a short speedboat ride away from another luxury resort destination being overhauled with the help of Saudi Arabia’s government (which is Kushner’s biggest backer, though it’s unclear if its $2 billion investment will be put to use here).

In the same region of Albania, Kushner is also planning a project on the Zvërnec peninsula, which would include hotels and hundreds of villas.

Torn on this. I did a 3 week R&R in Belgrade during my time assigned to our Embassy in Bangladesh -- Serbia was the only country in Europe in September 2020 where you didn't need to spend 2 weeks in quarantine upon arrival, as long as you took reasonable masking precautions in public areas, so it was my only real choice but it was a fantastic one. I loved it enormously. Great food, nice public parks, enjoyable museums, people were kind, at one point I was sitting and reading my kindle in the park and a little boy walking with his mother approached me to ask what I was reading, and when he heard me speak English he started busting out what little English he knew and his proud Momma beamed and it felt so slice-of-life sublime.

My point is that I really enjoyed Belgrade, keep one eye on it for serving there again someday, and I simultaneously want it to have investment and prosper more but ... >sigh< Ah, well.

Honestly, my response was "poor woman." Sympathetic feelings. That family seems to suck the life out of everything around it, even themselves.

Now I got that song stuck in my head.

On a related note, what is with the racoon look? Is that supposed to be attractive?

I’m not usually one to beauty-shame. I think people have the right to dress, coif, cosmeticize, surgify, veneer, and botox themselves to whatever extent makes them feel beautiful to their own eyes when they look in the mirror.

Nor am I usually one to criticize sex workers. It’s a hard way to make a living. Same goes for plumbers.

But damn. She looks like she just came in from a night on the stroll after a plumbers convention in Des Moines.

I had to go on a road trip late last week for lawn supplies. Des Moines or Sioux Falls? I decided or Sioux Falls. Good thing, too. I would have hated to have run into her.

I'm not sure Junior realizes that Biden...is a practicing Catholic.

How would my bank know if I bought a Bible? They don't all cost $60.

The last Bible I bought was from Amazon.

My church gives Bibles to all the 3rd graders. I wonder if we'll get reported.

Biden has designated himself as a domestic terrorist?
