In 1958, they were arrested in their bedroom and exiled from Virginia just for being married.
Nine years later, Richard and Mildred Loving relaxed on their porch after winning the Supreme Court case that legalized interracial marriage across America.
Albanians should not oppose American investments in Albanian lands ๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฝ๐ฐOn the contrary, we should do everything possible to encourage and attract American investments not only in Albania, but also in Kosova, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and the Presheva Valley.
The investment by President @realDonaldTrump's daughter, @IvankaTrump, and her husband, @jaredkushner , on Sazan Island is a great project that will promote economic development, encourage other international investors to explore opportunities in Albanian lands, create new jobs, and open new doors for our young people. It will also contribute to the long-term security and stability of Albanians throughout the Balkans.
This project has the potential to attract visitors from around the world, including prominent international figures, business leaders, and influential individuals. It places Albania on the map of global tourism and development and showcases the country as a destination for world-class investment.
These are not investments from Russia or China. These are American investments, from the country that has been the greatest supporter of Albanian freedom, democracy, and security, and the strongest friend and ally of our people. For decades, the United States of America has stood by the Albanian people during the most important moments of our history. Stronger economic ties with America help reinforce the enduring friendship and strategic partnership between Albanians and Americans ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ
I strongly support environmental protection. However, protecting nature and serious American investment should not be viewed as competing goals. We can and should achieve both.
For fifty years, Albaniaโs isolation under the communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha brought no benefit to the Albanian people. Our future is not isolation. Our future lies in openness, cooperation, and partnership with the democratic world, especially with the United States of America.
The Albanian-American community works every day to strengthen the bridges between Albanians and America and to encourage greater American investment throughout Albanian lands. As a result of these efforts, just days ago, Prishtina hosted the American Investors Conference.
I hope that the investment by the Trump and Kushner families in Albania will be only the beginning of a new chapter of American investment throughout Albanian lands ๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฝ๐ฐ
May God bless the American people and the Albanian people.

New: Joe Rogan leaves NASA astrophysicist Michelle Thaller completely stuck after asking her a deep question about the reality of time:
ROGAN: โThe weirdest thing that Iโve ever heard anybody say is that all time exists currently.โ
THALLER: โThatโs Albert Einstein.โ
ROGAN: โWhen we measure time what exactly are we measuring? When we create a clock that runs 24 hours per day what is it measuring?โ
THALLER: โThatโs a deep question. That question caused everything in physics to fall apart.โ
ROGAN: โI still donโt understand what weโre measuring.โ
THALLER: โI donโt think I have an answer for you. I donโt think anybody does.โ
African traditions and culture on display in Vlorรซ, Albania ๐ฆ๐ฑ
Albania has a small but growing African community, with many families and individuals arriving over the past 7 years..
Iran is using Russia's playbook: hiring cheap proxies for attacks in Europe and setting up a fake terror group to claim responsibility.

This 15-year-old girl lived in the Inca empire and was sacrificed 500 years ago as an offering to the gods.
She is preserved this well because she was frozen during sleep and kept in a dry cold condition at more than 6000 meters above sea level all this time. No other treatment was necessary.
Found in 1999 near the top of the Llullaillaco volcano, in northwestern Argentina, she was an archaeological revolution for being one of the best preserved mummies, since there was even blood in her body and her internal organs remained.
Albania is a leader in the Western Balkans, a @NATO Ally, and a strong partner. Today in my meeting with President @BajramBegajAL, I expressed our appreciation for Albania's support for Ukraine and for hosting our Afghan allies.

Knowing that Aleksander raped a woman, this high kick KO by Mirko Cro Cop is so damn satisfying especially because of how big Aleksander is despite both men being heavyweights.
As you prepare to go to sleep tonight, 3 abducted Kosovo police officers are currently in an undisclosed location in Serbia, enduring who knows what, while the international community maintains complete silence.
Also, try to imagine the anguish experienced by their families.
