The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2024 includes a provision by U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Huntsville) that prohibits funding from being used to expand U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs.
With the 2024 presidential election fast approaching, the stench of politics surrounding Space Command becomes exponentially stronger with each passing day.
If Colorado is ultimately named the permanent headquarters of SPACECOM, any support for this decision, whether purposeful or complicit, will reinforce the White House’s gross abuse of political power and the disregard for Alabama’s commitment to the sanctity of life.
Former vice president and current 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence gave his support for locating the permanent U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) headquarters in Alabama.
Aderholt announced Tuesday he was able to include the item in the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs fiscal year 2024 spending bill following a review and approval by the United States Air Force.
It should be obvious that Huntsville is the ideal spot for Space Command. But Democrats in Washington never let the facts get in the way of good politics.
