Officials also claim that Russian-linked networks have increased online efforts to discredit Pashinyan and bolster opposition figures such as Samvel Karapetyan, who denies any involvement with Russian support.

Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards.

She said that she thought he was having a “stroke,” and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do. The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse.

In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple “choke,” leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!

Citizens of EU countries, You should realize your authorities have unilaterally entered into a war with Russia.

So be vigilant and don't be surprised by anything. The peaceful sleep is over. But you know who to ask why!

The Conquest of Istanbul was the reconstruction and revival of a city whose neighborhoods had turned into swamps, whose places of worship—including Hagia Sophia—had been looted and damaged.

It was the restoration of that city and the bringing of new life to it.

The Conquest of Istanbul was not merely a great victory, nor simply an event that closed one age and opened another; it was the transformation of darkness into light in one of the world's most cherished cities.

The Conquest of Istanbul was the establishment of a lasting order of peace and security in a city where neither life nor property had been safe, creating an atmosphere of stability that would endure for centuries.

The Conquest of Istanbul was also the extension of unprecedented tolerance to people of every origin, faith, and viewpoint, granting them a level of respect and recognition they had never before received.
