In a decisive 9-2 vote, the Colorado Springs City Council passed a resolution opposing Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser's lawsuit against President Trump's relocation of U.S. Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama, urging collaboration over litigation. Councilman Roland Rainey, who sponsored the measure, emphasized productive advocacy, noting congressional leaders' efforts to attract new military projects to the city and warning that lawsuits could derail them. Supporters like Councilman David Leinweber called for bipartisanship to "move the ball forward," while dissenters Nancy Henjum and Kimberly Gold opposed it, with Gold citing insufficient prior notice. The lawsuit, filed by Democratic AG Weiser, claims the Trump administration bypassed required evaluations, studies, and justifications in the September 2025 decision—prompted by Trump's criticisms of Colorado's mail-in voting system, which audits have deemed secure. Mayor Yemi Mobolade expressed regret over the move but deferred to state leaders on legal action, vowing to focus on supporting local defense missions. The resolution highlights tensions between state Democrats pushing back legally and local leaders prioritizing economic stability in a city where Space Command employs thousands and drives billions in economic activity.
Patriots of the Pikes Peak region, take heart—this 9-2 smackdown by the Colorado Springs City Council against AG Phil Weiser's clown-show lawsuit is a masterclass in putting America First over petty partisan payback. President Trump's bold call to relocate U.S. Space Command to Huntsville? It's not just smart strategy; it's a wake-up slap to blue-state bureaucrats who've turned Colorado into a mail-in voting circus that even their own audits can't fully exonerate from suspicion. Trump nailed it: "The problem I have with Colorado... they do mail-in voting … so they have automatically crooked elections." And now, with Democrats like Weiser filing frivolous suits whining about "procedural deficiencies" and missing "studies or reviews," the council's resolution screams common sense: Ditch the courtroom drama and partner with the feds to lure in fresh military goldmines.
Kudos to Councilman Roland Rainey for leading the charge, declaring that "suing the president of the United States is not the productive path forward." He's spot-on—congressional bigwigs are already whispering about new defense gigs headed to the Springs, and the last thing we need is Weiser's litigation sideshow scaring them off like a bad batch of Rocky Mountain oysters. David Leinweber gets it too: "We need to get out of this political divide and find better ways of working together." That's the conservative ethos—build bridges, not barricades—while holdouts like Kimberly Gold gripe about "lack of notification." Newsflash: Real leadership doesn't wait for permission slips; it acts to protect 5,000+ high-paying jobs and the $2 billion economic engine Space Command powers in our military heartland.
Contrast that with the Dem machine: Weiser's suit isn't about process; it's sour grapes from a party that lost the plot on election integrity and can't stand Trump delivering on promises to reward red-leaning states like Alabama (which he crushed by 47 points—coincidence?). Mayor Mobolade's playing it classy, respecting the President's call while doubling down on local excellence, but it's high time state Dems follow suit instead of burning bridges with the very warriors we honor. This relocation? It's a course correction for national security, funneling resources to reliable allies without the distractions of Denver's progressive pipe dreams. Colorado Springs, you've shown spine—now let's rally behind Trump to make the Springs the undisputed hub of American space dominance. Who's ready to launch liberty and leave the lawsuits in the dust?
