The long-deployed USS Lincoln is returning home to San Diego

The USS Abraham Lincoln, a mighty aircraft carrier, will return to the safe harbor of San Diego later today after proudly serving for an unprecedented 265 days at sea without once setting foot on land. During her historic mission, the USS Lincoln played a crucial role in supporting the ongoing conflict in Iran.

In a surprise appearance in San Antonio, Texas, former President Donald Trump attempted to reignite the divisive anti-Muslim sentiment that propelled him to the White House in 2016. Trump's speech, however, veered sharply into uncharted territory as he falsely accused former President Barack Obama of failing to prevent the 2009 Ft Hood shooting by Nidal Hasan, despite conclusive evidence that the Obama administration had acted swiftly to apprehend Hasan.

Trump's claims about the necessity of the US war on Iran to protect American cities, such as Los Angeles and San Diego, were completely unsubstantiated. In stark contrast, US intelligence agencies concluded in 2025 that Iran had abandoned its pursuit of nuclear weapons in 2003.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) vehemently opposed Trump's campaign tactics, filing a lawsuit in federal court to halt the president from using taxpayer money to run a series of ads promoting himself. The DNC argued that such ads constituted illegal government-sponsored propaganda.
