Nima and I review the bidding on war in Iran; plus China, Ukraine, NATO, Russia. MOST IMPORTANT -- Joe Kent: “For any agreement to work, we must first restrain Israel, which will thwart any peace deal unless we take away weapons they need to attack Iran.” youtube.com/watch?v=MlvjVZ…

Why is Iran a no-show today for Islamabad talks w/Vance (and his Zionist minders)? Simple. Iran's team leader and Parliament speaker Ghalibaf: “US America First policy is in practice Israel First; US makes decisions based on false information from Israel." youtube.com/watch?v=iqV0c0…

Scott Ritter and I review the bidding on Iran: from Pope Leo to Epstein; Tehran to Kiev; “warrior” Hegseth to professional military; Strait of Hormuz to the Arc De Trump of the narcissist-in-chief; Estonia to China; with Joe Lauria asking tough questions: consortiumnews.com/2026/04/18/wat…

Scott, Larry, and I dissect Trump’s “PROHIBITING" Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Why did Iranians unselfishly insist on including Lebanon in the ceasefire? Because they lead AXIS OF RESISTANCE TO OCCUPATION – NOT "terrorism" – to the 'Greater Israel' project. youtube.com/watch?v=-jrevd…

Prattling on w/Jeff Prather: Personal intelligence anecdotes - all of them true, most of them w/lessons for today. Abrahamic roots; the pre-Aramaic word for “Justice” DENOTED“showing mercy to the poor”; for Catholics it's "preferential option for the poor" rumble.com/v78lcoq-challe…

Pope Leo the Lion cannot ban the “Holy Card” Trump published of himself today. But Leo can artfully lampoon him from Aboard the Papal Plane (AP) “Putting my message on the same plane as the president, mine is rooted in the gospel, and I will speak out.” youtube.com/watch?v=1TfIiM…

“Trump Must Demonstrate That He Can Control Netanyahu, Again” writes an out-to-lunch erstwhile analyst rsn.org/001/trump-must… Really! Netanyahu’s smirk itself betrays “who the managing partner is”. Author should see the even more telling photo atop p1 of NYTimes yesterday. raymcgovern.com/2026/04/09/ny-…

Today’s NY TIMES, YES, THE TIMES, largely blames Netanyahu for ill-conceived attack on Iran. #permid=150217484" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/… Pew poll in March: 59% of US adults lack confidence in him. For cogent commentary from an Iranian specialist on Trump's backdown yesterday. youtube.com/watch?v=U_YpJE…

WHY WAR ON IRAN? Easy to explain. First, hard evidence. Then psnl vignette: 20 yrs ago, distinguished Virginia Gentleman, Sen. John Warner, unconsciously cut the blood-flow from my arm and escaped, when I suggested he try to stop Israel from attacking Iran raymcgovern.com/2026/04/05/ray…

On Sunday, top Catholic armed forces prelate, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, labeled the US attack on Iran “unjust.” Uh-oh. The US Navy has the highest percentage of Catholics. Should we expect to see still more clogged latrines and laundry-room fires at sea? youtube.com/watch?v=vFV4sx…

Easter Egg Hunt down memory lane. Like Alice, I was taught to believe “impossible things” – the kind that Queen of Hearts Kaja Kallas apparently still practices believing daily before breakfast. A personal-professional & historical review of NATO & Russia. youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

Judge notes Mossad chief stayed at Blair House, asks how the CIA feels about that. My guess: the other half of the queen-size bed likely hosted an agency counterpart – further proof, if more were needed, that the two services are “in bed with each other”. youtube.com/watch?v=EJO40S…

Were you there when they Tomahawked the girls? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Cannot just look the other way. "When injustice takes place, few are guilty, but all are responsible. Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself” Rabbi Abraham Heschel

With US guarantee in doubt, EU “Foreign Minister” Kaja Kallas is pushing a NATO-like Mutual Defense Treaty with stronger teeth than NATO’s Article 5. Yesterday Maria Zakharova expressed her open disdain for Kallas and fellow Illiterati - including Liz Truss and Annalena Baerbock raymcgovern.com/2026/04/02/rus…

Mearsheimer: US govt is joined at the hip with Israel. Evils include genocide, assassination, and war on Iran (which no threat to US). John’s provocative words (min 29:10 ff) brace us with challenge. Do not shy away. ACT. There is such a thing as too late. youtube.com/watch?v=YKqf-3…

@ConteRocco Many thanks, Rocco.

@raymcgovern You are a great and wonderful man @raymcgovern - it is always a pleasure to listen and learn from you on Judge Nap - God bless and keep you and yours dear brother in Christ

Memo to those who swore oath to Constitution. Seize the moment! Tulsi - like Kamala, Samantha, Madeleine, Kofi Annan - put power over principle; winked at genocide. Joe Kent knows war - and duplicity - is your model. raymcgovern.com/2026/04/01/the…

Winding down the war is the right call, but for any peace agreement/exit plan to work we must restrain Israel 1st. Israel will thwart any peace deal or come back to us in a few months demanding more support to topple the Ayatollahs & IRGC unless we restrain them now. Restraining the Israelis means taking away the military aid & support they need to conduct offensive military ops in Iran.
