San Antonio city officials are openly defying federal law and wasting taxpayer dollars on illegal rainbow 'pride sidewalks' despite clear warnings from the Trump administration, according to a bombshell new report.

The Texas city has found what they believe is a clever workaround to federal and state prohibitions on the controversial rainbow crosswalks that became a woke staple during the disastrous Biden years. But their scheme could backfire spectacularly, leaving hardworking taxpayers holding the bag for potentially millions in federal funding cuts.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has already fired warning shots across the bow, alerting governors that the Trump administration won't tolerate this radical agenda being forced on American communities with federal highway funds. Yet San Antonio's liberal city council apparently thinks they're smarter than the federal government.

Woke Agenda Over Fiscal Responsibility

Here's what's truly infuriating: while families across Texas struggle with inflation and rising costs, San Antonio bureaucrats are prioritizing virtue signaling over basic fiscal responsibility. These aren't just painted crosswalks – they're expensive installations that require special materials, ongoing maintenance, and create potential liability issues for the city.

"The Biden era of forcing woke ideology on American cities is over. Communities that continue down this path do so at their own financial peril."

The timing couldn't be more tone-deaf. President Trump has made it crystal clear that his second term will focus on ending the radical left's assault on traditional American values. Transportation infrastructure should serve one purpose: moving people safely and efficiently – not promoting political agendas.

Patriots in San Antonio deserve better than city officials who would rather play woke politics than fix potholes or improve actual transportation safety. How long will Texas voters tolerate local governments that put radical ideology ahead of their constituents' real needs?

This fight is just beginning, and San Antonio taxpayers may soon learn the expensive consequences of their city council's defiance.

This is exactly what's wrong with local government today - they think they can just ignore federal law and waste our hard-earned tax dollars on their woke agenda. Those sidewalks should be gray concrete, period!

Couldn't agree more! My property taxes keep going up and this is what they spend it on?

Can someone explain what specific federal law this violates? I want to share this with my city council but need the exact statute.

We had something similar happen in our town last year - the city council approved rainbow crosswalks without any public input. At least we voted out three of them in the next election!

That's how you do it! Local elections matter just as much as federal ones.
