Will this be the start of the war that American neoconservatives and the Israeli Likud Party have been agitating for my entire life, or will this help with the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran over their nuclear energy program? Hopefully not the former, but probably not the latter either.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

I told them, in the strongest of words, to &#8220;just do it,&#8221; but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn&#8217;t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come - And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner&#8217;s spoke bravely, but they didn&#8217;t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Again. The main reason that I voted for Donald Trump in this election is because the Democratic Party chose to install their eventual nominee after hosting a rigged primary in favor of President Joe Biden, and their refusal to let Democratic voters choose the direction of the party is one of the big reasons, in my opinion, why the party keeps losing so spectacularly to Trump. When they had a relatively competitive primary in 2020 they beat him, and when they rigged the primaries in 2016 and 2024 they got crushed.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.kevinmckenzie.co/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.kevinmckenzie.co/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p><strong>From Kevin&#8217;s Substack:</strong></p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;99f77415-c5a5-44f1-b51a-b29aef0d8187&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;My personal rule when it comes to voting has been that I will only vote when I have something to vote for; I will not vote simply for the sake of voting.

And how dare any of us expect otherwise?</p><p>We are still in the beta episodes here at <em>Never Say Nothing</em>, so I am still looking for feedback of any nature. For this episode I noticed that when I save the file so that I can upload it here to Substack, it&#8217;s saving at a much higher volume than the &#8220;mix&#8221; is playing at within GarageBand, which is the app I&#8217;ve been using to record the podcasts. I&#8217;m not sure why that is, and I&#8217;m planning to record the next episode in Audacity to see if I have more success with that. So if this episode sounds loud, as I think all of the episodes have so far, then just know that I am aware of the issue and am going to try to resolve it.

It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas. &#8220;The Big Three,&#8221; the official said, referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be directly involved. &#8220;On Sunday morning,&#8221; the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, &#8220;Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, &#8216;Here&#8217;s the deal. We have Kamala&#8217;s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.&#8221; The amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.</p><p>&#8220;It was clear at this point,&#8221; the official said, &#8220;that she would get the nod&#8221;&#8212;that is, the support to run for the presidency in the November election. &#8220;But Obama also made it clear,&#8221; the official said, &#8220;that he was not going to immediately endorse her. But the group had decided that her work as a prosecutor would help her deal with Trump in a debate.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div class="embedded-post-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:147068506,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/leaving-las-vegas&quot;,&quot;publication_id&quot;:1377040,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Seymour Hersh&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F972a3674-1cd8-4e4e-9ba2-8d38d3306045_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;LEAVING LAS VEGAS&quot;,&quot;truncated_body_text&quot;:&quot;In late 1967, as the Vietnam War was raging and President Lyndon B.
