#1 Looking from the outside: it's Tramp or Kamala - and only somebody for whom "first female POTUS" is the principal consideration can vote for Kamala.

#3 The key point in the upcoming election is the still unresolved voter fraud of 2020. Nothing substantial was done to correct that. The fraud of the 2024 election is yet to occur. I think it will be a doozy.

#4 Raymond Ibrahim in "Sword and Scimitar" gives a quite horrific description of the events of that day and beyond, from primary Christian and Muslim sources. The events in the Hagia Sophia are described in gruesome detail:

"...we have primary source documents describing exactly what the Turks and Sultan Muhammad did after conquering Constantinople and its Hagia Sophia in 1453. (All quotes in the following narrative were derived from contemporary sources, mostly eyewitnesses, as documented in chapter 7 of my book, Sword and Scimitar.)

Once inside the city on May 29, 1453, the "enraged Turkish soldiers . . . gave no quarter": When they had massacred and there was no longer any resistance, they were intent on pillage and roamed through the town stealing, disrobing, pillaging, killing, raping, taking captive men, women, children, old men, young men, monks, priests, people of all sorts and conditions...
Because thousands of citizens had fled to and were holed up in Hagia Sophia, the ancient basilica offered an excellent harvest of slaves, once its doors were axed down. "One Turk would look for the captive who seemed the wealthiest, a second would prefer a pretty face among the nuns. . . . Each rapacious Turk was eager to lead his captive to a safe place, and then return to secure a second and a third prize. . . . Then long chains of captives could be seen leaving the church and its shrines, being herded along like cattle or flocks of sheep."
A great deal more detail from primary sources is at the link.
