California and other states have launched ‘boycotts’ of conservative states whose policies they disagree with. And corporations have done the same thing. Now the Biden regime is doing it with the federal government.
Bases are a major point of leverage with conservative states. Much like Major League Baseball or the NFL have threatened to pull games from states over religious freedom laws, Biden is doing the same thing with a military base.
This is grotesquely illegal and a violation of the most basic political norms, not to mention federalism, but you can say that about pretty much everything that this grotesquely illegal administration that would be more at home in Venezuela than America does.
Some defense and congressional officials believe the White House is laying the groundwork to halt plans to move U.S. Space Command’s headquarters to Alabama in part because of concerns about the state’s restrictive abortion law, according to two U.S. officials and one U.S. defense official familiar with the discussions.
“The belief is they are delaying any move because of the abortion issue,” one U.S. official said, referring to the White House.
Another U.S. official said, “This is all about abortion politics.”
Abortion, environmentalism, gay rights, transgenderism, critical race theory and assorted wokeness always matter more than national security to this corrupt junta.
Given a choice between the culture war and the real war, they always choose the culture war.
And the administration’s defense officials are political appointees with no interest in military affairs beyond using it as a sock puppet for their leftist extremism.
The White House directed the Air Force last December to conduct a review of the process that led to the Trump administration’s decision to move Space Command’s headquarters from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. The review was ordered up in the months after Alabama’s law banning nearly all abortions, including in cases of rape and incest, went into effect last summer. The law is considered among the most restrictive in the U.S.
It followed two previous, extensive reviews that took place after President Joe Biden took office that found there was no improper political influence on the process that awarded the headquarters to Alabama. Just days before leaving office, Donald Trump had announced Alabama would be home to Spacecom’s headquarters. He later said he was “single-handedly” responsible for the state’s selection over others that were under consideration, but the review did not support that claim.
Biden administration officials have signaled privately to Pentagon officials and lawmakers that they’re looking to reverse the Alabama decision over concerns about operational disruptions that moving Spacecom’s headquarters, which is currently located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, could bring.
The White House said Alabama’s abortion ban was not a factor in its ongoing review of the decision to build Spacecom’s permanent headquarters there. A White House official said that access to reproductive health care does not weigh in to making the decision about location.
So who’s lying, the official administration or its unofficial leakers?
The bottom line though is that the Biden regime does not want to move the headquarters to Alabama because it has the wrong politics, whereas Colorado has the right ones. Now I’m not all that sure that it makes sense on a practical level to make that move, but blocking it over politics is corruption and extremism.
And the Biden regime is stuffed full of corrupt political extremists.

Time for the States to “boycott” DC.

Yeah, a political decision.

I think space command should be as far from the coasts as we can put it, preferrably under a big hunk of granite. That said, this is typical dem abuse of power.

Stupid me still can’t comprehend how having the social choice of abortion decided by legislatures and electoral referendum is not self governance.
