The Shameless Son

May 2023May 30, 2023By Taki Theodoracopulos

Jared Kushner should be ashamed of himself for his blatant, unfathomable, and utterly unacceptable profiteering from his father-in-law’s presidency. But shame is a word unknown to the 45th president’s son-in-law . . .

You seem to indicate that you never were a huge Trump fan to begin with, or perhaps your statement is simply the line that those of respectable company have felt for years now that they have to put forth even if they could be counted on, if even temporarily, as a former Trump supporter. As for your new BFF’s, the Clintons, it is really hard to say she accepted her loss. But, frankly, Trump and her both have decent arguments that elections were, effectively, stolen. I expect that to now be the norm for the foreseeable future. Next time it happens to the left they will be allowed to riot and do whatever. Where that in turn leads will be interesting to watch.

I’m sorry. I feel like I should apologize to you for something. Your essay was so much about you pleading for something or other. It became rather on interesting very early. Please try again.

The son-in-law sounds very much like the father-in-law. Trump has been bankrupt many times. His only consistent asset is the celebrity he was able to conjure over the years. Kushner is just Trump without the movie and tv appearances. Glad he doesn’t want to be a part of a campaign but Trump consistently picks bad apples as his allies. His TV appearances are the best thing about him. He hasn’t a clue about how to govern.

Trump took 5 of the 500 companies he founded into bankruptcy. One of them was a company he took over for a dying friend and wound down. That’s an entirely different scenario than “having been bankrupt many times.”

You are another blind leading the blind soul. You obviously don’t know anything about Hunter. You know the one with a trail a mile long. If the article is about crossing a moral like there are much worse people. Pelosi lets say. Try again

Keeping things balanced the Bidens are no saints. The main difference is making money IN government.

How can you write a column (ostensibly) about Jared Kushner’s corruption and ignore the main facet of his corruption?
Kushner and family are tightly interwoven into a tiny country in the Middle East (and it ain’t Bahrain!). Everything he did within his wife’s father’s administration was for that country.
Trump’s main failure in foreign affairs was entrusting the Middle East to Kushner and his kin.
Nice, though, how you were able to ignore that, but still worked into the text: your gazing into Clinton’s eyes (no, he was not pondering your writings, he was wondering if you had a wife or a daughter he could debauch); your kids’ playing with Trump-related kids; your virtue-signaling that you’re not an election-denier; a nasty camel-related insult of Arab royals (they’re as likely to be camel-drivers as you are to be a Greek sheep herder); and the utter absence, in a fake moralistic diatribe about family members debasing the presidency, of any mention of Hunter Biden (and the dozen or so other Bidens lapping up the corruption that drips from Joe), Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Michelle Obama, the Pelosis, the Kennedys, etc.

T cannot believe Chronicles published this— you should write for the Nation or New Republic. This is a stunningly unfortunate article Chowed down with the clintons huh? One good thing: Kushner will not participate in the campaign– you know at first I thought you were talking about Biden et fils. My bad

Amongst the yada yada bad boy stuff, one thing stood out; mention of the House of Thurn and Taxis family, I looked back at Scott Thompson’s article, “Return of The Monarchs; Politics for a New Dark Age”. They are one of the many Princely families running the covert New Holy Roman Empire, through secret societies and Orders, hidden behind the veneer of republican nation-states currently on the map of continental Europe. This family ran the postal service of the old Holy Roman Empire. This family still allegedly runs the Venetian intelligence apparatus for “The Cause” The article goes on to list the twenty-five Royal Houses still in existence, ten of which still occupy thrones and wear crowns. The fifteen others are still around and powerful, but not currently occupying thrones. THIS organization must be what has Putin’s panties in a knot. I’m reminded of an enjoyable fantasy fiction trilogy written by C.C.Finlay, called “Traitor To The Crown”; a series of three novels about the American Revolution against this very thing, which is a system of Crowns & Thrones united under a secretive, supernatural organization called The Covenant, practitioners of Black Magic. Our revolutionaries are helped by the witches previously persecuted in the 17th century witch trials, and now work under cover. The first novel is labeled “The Patriot Witch” (THEIR form of magic is being VERY EFFECTIVE at prayers that obtain instant results). I’m guessing Mr. Finlay was just playing off the extreme popularity of the Harry Potter phenomena, and didn’t mean to suggest any relation to reality. I think, however, that he might have stumbled onto something that is true.

Yes, what did Gloria, referred to as a princess of Thurn and Taxis, used to drive? It probably wasn’t a camel but maybe a.::taxi?

Thomas Pynchon’s Crying of Lot 49 witters on about the House of Thurn and Taxis, btw.

To Matt Gately: Scott Thompson’s article (Return of the Monarchs; Politics for a New Dark Age) went on to say that the Thurn and Taxis family originated in North Italy as the Turn et Tasso family, operating during what I guess was the First Reich, the Holy Roman Empire. Maybe she wears a tasso in her hair while driving a taxi.

Mr Kushner accomplished more in the middle east in a few years than has happened since the creation of Israel. He did so quietly and with little compensation. For this effort, I think the Republic, Israel, the Middle East countries, and world peace in general owe a debt of gratitude.

I understand he got some sweetheart deals given to him from which he may be able to gain some personal benefit. I do not appreciate when individuals use their positions to get personal gain.

I think there is a difference here that must be examined.

Kushner was not selling influence. He wasn’t selling the USA to the highest bidder. He was working to create peace in the Middle East.

Unlike so many others who have created not-for-profits, or steered business to family members, or openly sold access, Mr Kushner did not do these things.

In short, he got us some peace and some people with money sent him business. I’ll give him a pass unless I can find out he sold our republic down the river.

This feels like reading what you wrote on your Notes, in your very leisure times. This isn’t a news article at all, nor is it an well scripted delineation of the interactions you have had with him.

This serves as a buttress. For the bigger newspapers, whose life passion is about Donald Trump.
