Trump Takes Iran Seriously, Here Is Full List Of Firepower That The US Military Is Sending To Middle East Right Now To Counter Latest Iranian Threat

The US military is sending a ton of massive firepower including the USS Abraham Lincoln to take on threats from Iran — here’s everything headed its way.

In response to the threat of a possible attack on US military forces by Iran, the US military decided to send additional firepower to the Middle East. This includes an aircraft carrier with a full carrier air wing, one cruiser, four destroyers, a group of heavy bombers, fighters, an expeditionary warship, and a surface-to-air missile battery.

On Monday, we told you that in response to threats from Iran, the US military had authorized the USS Abraham Lincoln to be deployed to the Middle East. Yesterday, the Lincoln passed through Egypt’s Suez Canal. Iran said they could take out the Lincoln with a single missile, and guess what? The United States is talking them seriously and sending quite an impressive array of ships, planes and firepower. The full list is in the article here below.

NBC News reports that “In a highly unusual move, national security adviser John Bolton convened a meeting at CIA headquarters last week with the Trump administration’s top intelligence, diplomatic and military advisers to discuss Iran, according to six current U.S. officials. The meeting came amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as the Trump administration piles pressure on Tehran’s economy through crippling sanctions. Days after it took place, Bolton, citing indications of an increased threat from Iran, announced the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber squadron to the Persian Gulf. He warned Tehran that “any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”

It is very unlikely that the US military would send this much raw firepower simply as a ‘show of force’. The last time they sent this much at one time to the Middle East, precision guided missiles rained down on Syria in response to chemical attacks on their own people. Trump is planning something for the Iranians, something big indeed.

The US is sending a ton of firepower to take on Iran — here’s everything headed its way

FROM BUSINESS INSIDER: The US military is sending a carrier strike group, a bomber task force, fighter jets, an amphibious landing ship, and a surface-to-air missile battery to the Middle East as a show of force to Iran. There is a ton of firepower heading that way.

The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, which consists of the carrier and its powerful carrier air wing, as well as one cruiser and four destroyers, began moving into the region with an unspecified number of B-52 Stratofortress heavy long-range bombers earlier this week.

US Air Forces Central Command announced Thursday that F-15C Eagle fighter jets were repositioned within the theater to “defend US forces and interests in the region.” On Friday, the Pentagon announced that the USS Arlington, an amphibious landing ship, and a Patriot surface-to-air missile battery are on their way.

These assets, according to US Central Command, are being currently deployed in response to “clear indications that Iranian and Iranian proxy forces were making preparations to possibly attack US forces in the region.”

Aircraft carrier: USS Abraham Lincoln

united-states-deploys-aircraft-carrier-uss-abraham-lincoln-to-middle-east-iran

Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, previously described aircraft carriers as a “tremendous expression of US national power.” A carrier strike group is an even stronger message. “CSGs are visible and powerful symbols of US commitment and resolve,” US European Command said in a statement on Tuesday.

The USS Abraham Lincoln, a mobile sea-based airfield, is the lead ship for the carrier strike group that bears its name and is outfitted with a highly capable carrier air wing.

Carrier air wing: fighters, electronic-attack aircraft, early-warning aircraft, and rotary aircraft

Carrier Air Wing Seven consists of F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growler electronic-attack aircraft, E-2 Hawkeye early-warning aircraft, and a number of rotary aircraft from multiple squadrons capable of carrying out a variety of operational tasks.

Cruiser: USS Leyte Gulf

Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers are multi-role warships that run heavily armed with 122 vertical-launch-system (VLS) cells capable of carrying everything from Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles to surface-to-air missiles and anti-submarine-warfare rockets.

4 destroyers: USS Bainbridge, USS Gonzalez, USS Mason, and USS Nitze

Like the larger cruisers, destroyers are also multi-mission vessels. Armed with 90 to 96 VLS cells, these ships have air-and-missile defense capabilities, as well as land-attack abilities.

Early in the Trump presidency, two US Navy destroyers devastated Shayrat Airbase with 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles to punish the Syrian regime in the aftermath of a chemical-weapons attack.

Bombers: B-52s

In response to the threat of a possible attack on US forces by Iran, the US military decided to send additional firepower to the Middle East.

The B-52 is a subsonic high-altitude bomber capable of carrying nuclear and conventional payloads. These hard-hitting aircraft can carry up to 70,000 pounds of varied ordnance and can be deployed to carry out various missions, including strategic attack, close air support, air interdiction, and offensive counter-air and maritime operations.

Fighters: F-15C Eagles

us-military-f-15-eagles

The F-15s in the region were reportedly seen carrying live missiles, including the six AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and two AIM-9X Sidewinder’s for air-to-air combat, The Drive reports.

The Pentagon has not specifically announced the movement of these fighters as a response to Iran, but the timing of the repositioning is noteworthy.

Amphibious Landing Ship: USS Arlington

The San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington (LPD 24) departs her homeport of Naval Station Norfolk.

A San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock is able to move Marines, amphibious assault vehicles, conventional landing craft, and rotary aircraft to support amphibious assaults, special operations, or expeditionary warfare missions, the Pentagon explained in a statement Friday.

Air-and-Missile Defense: Patriot battery

A Patriot battery is, according to the Department of Defense, a long-range, all-weather air defense system with the ability to eliminate certain threatening tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircraft. READ MORE

2025 Will Go Down For Among Other Things As The Year That Antisemitism Gained A Foothold Not Only In The MAGA GOP But Throughout America As Well

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

2025 was a seminal year for antisemitism and anti-Zionism not only across America but within the MAGA Republican Party

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A man walks onto a college campus and says “I’m not antisemitic, I just hate Zionists. Free Palestine.” Pretty funny, yes? Or perhaps not, but either way some form of this “joke” has been told endlessly across the United States in 2025. “I’m not against Israel”, they say, “I’m only against Zion”. They advocate for the cutting off of all funding to Israel, and the establishment of a Palestinian state. And no, I am not talking about Democrats primarily, I am talking about half of the Republican Party MAGA Movement, or whatever they call themselves now.

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.” Psalm 128:5 (KJB)

What got me thinking about all this wasn’t something that wasn’t directly antisemitic, but when you think about it for a minute, it becomes quite chilling. Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Trump in the White House over the weekend, where he made a very strange remark. When asked about selling US F-35 jet fighters to Israel’s declared enemy Turkey, Trump said “We’re thinking about it very seriously,” adding “I promise they’ll never use them on Israel,” while walking out of the room. “We’re not going have a problem.” Oh, I see. ‘Trust In Trump’ is it? How could he ever think, in a million years, that giving F-35’s to a country that has threated many times in 2025 to attack Israel could ever be a good idea? It’s a terrible idea, but given Trump’s recent affinity for striking deals with Muslim nations, it makes perfect sense. Just remember, Trump was an avowed antivaxxer right up to the moment he unleashed the COVID vaccine bioweapon. Trump is a lifelong friend of Israel right up to the moment he isn’t anymore.

At the recent meeting of Turning Point USA, antisemitism was on full display with a notable percentage of the participants. “Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads,” Steve Bannon said, to the cheers of thousands. Megyn Kelly said during a talk with conservative influencer Jack Posobiec at the conference that “there was a rift even before we lost Charlie… and it revolves around Israel,” NBC reported. For a group that seemed to speak with one voice when they help reelect Donald Trump last November, this is a paradigm shift to say the least. Take a look at what some of the most-notable influencers are saying now.

Some of the stunning 2025 antisemitic turns by MAGA influencers

  • Tucker Carlson: The former Fox News host (and current independent media figure) has been a prominent voice criticized for mainstreaming antisemitic ideas and white nationalist rhetoric, often focusing on “globalists” and questioning U.S. support for Israel. He has also hosted known white nationalists like Nick Fuentes on his show.
  • Candace Owens: The conservative commentator has made numerous controversial comments, including calling Israel “demonic” and promoting anti-Israel conspiracy theories. She frequently uses the term “globalists” to describe a cabal of powerful individuals, a widely recognized antisemitic dog whistle.
  • Nick Fuentes: A leader of the far-right “Groyper” movement, Fuentes is a self-described white nationalist known for Holocaust denial and overt antisemitic rants, who has gained a following among some younger conservatives within the MAGA movement.
  • Stew Peters: A far-right conspiracy theorist and podcast host who promotes Holocaust denial and claims that “primarily Jewish-controlled central banks” fund evil in America; multiple congressional Republicans have appeared on his show. 
  • Steve Bannon: An architect of the MAGA Movement, Bannon has been accused of making antisemitic comments and comparing Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro to a “cancer” on the conservative movement.
  • Megyn Kelly: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused Kelly of invoking antisemitic tropes when she claimed that Jewish commentators Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are “making antisemites”. The ADL stated that blaming Jewish people for the hate directed against them is a classic victim-blaming trope.

Christian, if you are an anti-Zionist, you possess a pathetically-low understanding of the Bible, in either Testament, and should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously. The Bible openly declares that God is a Zionist, and that the kingdom He will usher in during the Millennium will be a Zionist kingdom. If you are anti-Zionist, not only are you antisemitic, you stand in opposition to God Himself. How ’bout that?

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

As we watch America struggling with a very fast rising tide of antisemitism, why don’t you pick a side and stay there? You see, I believe my Bible, and I know how it all winds up, who wins, and how it all will go when the end times dust settles. So here and now, by faith, I stand on the side of the King of the Jews, on the side of His chosen people, the Jews, and with the biblical, and literal, physical, and earthly Zion which is the City of David. Where do you stand?

Why Did Gov. Tim Walz Approve A New Minnesota State Flag That Shows A Chilling Alliance With Flags Representing The Islamic Federal Republic of Somalia?

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The new state flag of Minnesota approved by Tim Walz bears a stunning resemblance to the flags of the Islamic Federal Republic of Somalia

While Donald Trump and the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth distract us with meaningless ‘lethal kinetic strikes’ on drug boats in Venezuela, a much more serious and pressing problem is brewing right here at home in Minnesota. Not only are government actors within that state operating a crime ring in the high hundreds of millions of dollars, it would seem that Minnesota is rapidly becoming an Islamic state.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

As we have said many times, the greatest threat to the sovereignty and security of the United States of America, hands down and bar none, has always been and will always be Islam. This was something we recognized clearly under the multiyear reign of Barack Hussein Obama, but something we have conveniently forgotten here in the second term of Donald Trump who is courting Muslim favor like no other president before him. Today I want to show you the battleground state of Minnesota, and how it looks for all the world like a coup is underway. View the evidence and decide for yourself.

1). Radical Leftist governor Tim Walz approves a Somalia-themed new Minnesota state flag

As you can see in the graphic at the top of this article, the “new” state flag of Minnesota bears an undeniable and overwhelming resemblance to the flags found in the Federal Republic of Somalia, a region of the globe that is nearly 100% comprised of Sunni Muslims. Less than 1% of the territories are Christian and Shia Muslim. I am sure it’s just a crazy coincidence, but the Somali-born congresswoman Ilhan Omar has stated multiple times that she serves the interests of the Somalian people in Minnesota above that of the interests of the government in which she presides.

2). The Minnesota Somali Fraud Network

Federal authorities have uncovered several major fraud schemes in Minnesota, primarily related to the misuse of over $1 billion in federal and state social service funds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 87 individuals charged in these cases, the majority are of Somali descent.

Key cases include:

Feeding Our Future: This was the largest single scheme, where a non-profit organization and its partners allegedly stole approximately $250 million from a federal child nutrition program by submitting fraudulent receipts and invoices for meals that were never provided. The founder of the organization was found guilty in this case.

Housing Assistance and Autism Services: Other separate but similar schemes involved fraud in programs providing housing assistance and therapy for children with autism. In one autism fraud case, an individual allegedly stole $14 million by billing Medicaid for fake sessions using unqualified staff.

State auditors and federal officials noted that the Minnesota Department of Education missed numerous red flags and failed to adequately address complaints, which critics argue allowed the fraud to balloon. Federal investigators have stated there is no evidence that any of the stolen money was funneled to the terror group al Shabaab, a claim that was investigated after political allegations were raised.

3). Minnesota as the new ‘Little Somalia’

Minnesota is home to a significant Muslim population, with Arab Americans nearly quadrupling from 2000-2022, and a substantial Somali community settling in the Twin Cities. The state has elected prominent Muslim officials, including the first Muslim Congressman (Keith Ellison, now AG) and Somali-American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, alongside growing numbers in local government. A robust network of mosques, Islamic schools, and cultural organizations with terror ties like CAIR-MN are the predominate influences. In April of 2023, Minneapolis made history when it became the first major city in the US to allow mosques to broadcast the call to prayer using loudspeakers at any time. Before the change to a city noise ordinance, it had only been permitted to be put out between 7am to 10pm. The majority of Muslims in Minnesota remain unassimilated to American culture and way of life.

Bit by bit, and bite by bite, Minnesota is becoming an Islamic state with a state, led by elected Islamic representatives who are only too happy to encourage this transition. Governor Tim Walz is very proud of his new state flag, a flag that bears obvious allegiance to and solidarity with the Islamic Federal Republic of Somalia. America is under siege from within, and our ‘America First’ president isn’t doing anything of note to solve this problem other than just talking about it.

Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen, simply known as Al-Shabaab, is receiving funds from the Minnesota taxpayer, while Somali congresswoman Ilhan Omar simply shrugs her shoulders.
