countering Biden order to keep it in Colorado

Original Article

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Space Command’s headquarters would move from Colorado to Alabama — capping off a yearslong fight over where the command should be based. While Space Command has been operating out of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump during his first term pushed for the command’s headquarters to go to Huntsville, Alabama. However, former President Joe Biden announced in 2023 that the command would remain based in Colorado.[snip] "will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City,".

How much of this decision was affected by Colorado Springs' sky house prices, crappy roads, rising crime rates and the one no body wants to talk about - Legal Pot ?

Good. More jobs moving to Alabama. We went to Colorado Springs several years ago. Lovely town. Lovely people. What a pity.

Colorado hasn't been much fun since their gun laws and dope laws got passed. I avoid it like Illinois and California.

There's a big NASA presence in Huntsville, so it makes sense to locate the Space Command there. Colorado Springs is nice, but housing there (and most of Colorado's Front Range) is very expensive.

Why was it placed in Colorado in the first place? Colorado is far from all of the space action in the US. Why wasn't it in Huntsville, Houston, or Cape Canaveral when Space Force started? Only the Federal Government would put something in a politically connected place in order to gain votes even though it makes no sense at all.

I could see this coming, as soon as Trump was elected again. As a Colorado resident, I’m all for it. The usual suspects will scream and cry - the Governor and both Senators - but they're all Democraps who have had a hand in ruining the state, especially the homosexual governor who wants to take everybody’s guns. Maybe it will help some people understand that there are serious consequences when you vote for morons. Huntsville is the logical place for Space Command. More rocket scientists, less snow, and the fishing is better.

Reply to #6. Space Commanf as it was called before, was based at Peterson AFB when it was stood up in the early 1980's. The proximity to Magic Mountain (Cheyenne Mountain Complex) which handles all NORAD functions is why. That being said. There's a real big sucking sound coming out of Colorado Springs as those GI's and their money are leaving. Not to mention real estate

Huntsville wasn't the best place to raise a family at the time I was emerging from university; and even though I interviewed for a job with NASA there, I never took them up on the in-person visit. A "cleanup on aisle 7" may be in order there, Mr. President.

For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel. Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates. However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a deadly warning to drug traffickers Wednesday as he shared details about a U.S. military strike that destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 suspected Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists. "It's a new day. It's a different day, and… this is an activity the United States is not going to tolerate in our hemisphere," Hegseth said on "Fox & Friends." Venezuela's Minister of Communication and Information Freddy Nanez dismissed video of the attack as AI-generated, an accusation Hegseth dismissed.

China and Russia have greenlit a new cross-border natural gas pipeline in a major win for Russian President Vladimir Putin, though questions about who pays what and at what price remain unresolved. Once completed, the proposed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline could pump 50 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas per year into China—about 61 percent more than the 31 bcm delivered by the original Power of Siberia line in 2024. The new route would run through Mongolia from western Siberia's Yamal fields.

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans he alleged were part of a criminal gang. In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the Trump administration from removing a group of Venezuelans under the seldom-used 18th-century law. The Fifth Circuit is the first federal appeals court to rule directly on a March 14 presidential proclamation invoking the 1798 law to justify rapid deportations. Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the two-judge majority, rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua

An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor when a passenger was attempting to bring beer to a "dry" village where alcohol is prohibited.

But that isn’t entirely true. After returning from Congress’s month-long August vacation, Thune took to the Senate floor on Tuesday to pin the blame for the continued confirmation delay of the president’s appointees squarely on the shoulders of Senate Democrats. Verbally wagging his finger at his leftist colleagues, the majority leader said that “their historic obstruction cannot continue.”
