The most openly abused and shockingly corrupt program in the federal government is so-called set-aside contracting.

The program was created in 1978, mostly to help Black Americans start businesses since they'd been discriminated against by the government.

But I don't believe any member of this committee would support the program if you see how it works a half century later.

These billions don't go to poor minorities in your states.

They go to insiders in the suburbs of D.C., which are already the wealthiest counties in the country.

I can say in my opinion that the contracts that I feel were signed felt like we weren't doing 51% of the work.

What were you doing?

So explain this to us.

The Virginia School District pursued punishment against boys who complained about being filmed by a girl in the boys' locker room and not the trans-identifying girl who broke rules by filming, even though the girl repeatedly changed her story about purported anti-transgender harassment.

That's according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday.

The school district doled out 10-day suspensions to boys who wondered among themselves why a girl was in the boys' locker room.

The suit says the district did so even though officials' interviews and the videos the girl took failed to corroborate her claims that the boys denigrated, threatened, and ordered her to leave.

The lawsuit accuses district officials of deleting at least one recording, leaking confidential information to a left-wing PAC that it says defamed the boys, and dropping the charges against a Muslim student but not against two Christian boys.

The incident occurred at the same school where a transgender rape is struck in 2021.

Loudoun County Public Schools infamously covered up that rape because it would have hampered the passage of the very policy that now allows transgenders to use the opposite sex locker rooms.

So this is a small federal agency, kind of like USAID. It's got 30 employees and a $45 million budget. And by law, it's only allowed to give grants to Africa up to a quarter million dollars each. The agency locked the doors and refused to let Doge in and said it wouldn't recognize Trump's appointee to lead it, Peter Morocco, who was also dismantling USAID.

The group's board also filed a lawsuit claiming Doge was intruding on the privacy of its financial records, personnel, documents, and so on. Ultimately, the Trump administration seized the building with the assistance of U.S. marshals. So Elon Musk has said when people get really angry about being audited by Doge, it's usually because they have something to hide. And that definitely applied here.

What I found is that this group would give money to African organizations like it was required to by law, but then it would require them to redirect that money back to the United States to pay officials at their headquarters or their friends or former employers, almost like laundering it.
