A federal judge this week ruled against a Biden-Harris administration program that allocated around $37 billion in federal road contracts for businesses owned by women and racial minorities, raising questions about the future of a decades-old affirmative action program.

Since the 1980s, the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program has required around 10% of federal dollars allocated for road construction contracts to go to women and certain racial minorities. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Biden signed in 2021, reauthorized the DBE and set aside $37 billion for eligible recipients.

This year, two small businesses sued the Transportation Department, saying that the DBE program caused them to lose out on business. On Monday, Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove ruled that the Biden-Harris administration could not enforce the DBE’s affirmative action quotas against the businesses.

“The Court is keenly aware of the past discrimination that certain groups of people have faced in this country,” Tatenhove wrote. “And the Court is sure that the federal government has nothing but good intentions in trying to remedy past wrongs. But remedying those wrongs must still pass constitutional muster. The federal government cannot classify people in such a manner that violates the principles of equal protection.”

This is the latest caste that builds off the Supreme Court’s June 2023 ruling that affirmative action was unconstitutional. One federal judge ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency needed to be open to working with business owners of all races, while another judge said that the Small Business Administration could not distribute contracts based on the claim that certain races are inherently disadvantaged.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) filed the lawsuit on behalf of Mid-America Milling and Bagshaw Trucking. The businesses, which are owned in part by white males and operate in Kentucky and Indiana, routinely bid on federal contracts. Mid-America says it has lost out on 82 contracts in Indiana since January 2022 because of the DBE program.

In his decision, Van Tatenhove wrote that both companies have “previously lost out on federally funded contracts to DBE firms, even when Plaintiffs’ bids were lower.”

WILL lawyer Daniel Lennington told The Daily Wire that the decision was a major blow for the Biden-Harris administration’s “equity agenda,” which pushes race-based programs throughout the federal government. 

Lennington noted that after a period of discovery, WILL would ask for a final decision from the judge that would block any business from being subject to the DBE program. 

“The DBE program is really baked into the DNA of road building in America and companies all across America just assume that this program is never going to go anywhere,” he said. “We believe that’s unconstitutional and it hurts real people that have real businesses every day.”

Despite all of the media’s attempts to pretend the presidential race is a blowout for Kamala Harris, there is zero evidence that is the case.

And something happened this week that shows there’s no blowout happening.

On Tuesday, Politico published a piece suggesting Harris didn’t get any sort of bounce out of the much-ballyhooed debate with Donald Trump. On Monday, CNN’s Harry Enten pointed out a New York Times/Siena College poll showing Trump winning in North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia and Harris lagging in terms of support from black and Hispanic voters, which would be a disaster for her.

There are a couple unspoken problems for the Harris campaign. Since 2012, the Democratic electoral matrix has been built to drive out minority votes and then count on suburban white ladies to bring the Democratic candidate over the finish line. Harris is trying to do that, but she’s trying to do so without mentioning her race.

It is obvious as to her reasoning why. She doesn’t want to lose Joe Biden’s blue-collar base. Biden had some blue-collar white voters in 2020 that Hillary Clinton did not have in 2016. So Harris is trying to retain that base, but she’s overwhelmingly bleeding there.

Every single swing state shows that Harris is trailing Trump by 10 to 20 points among the Teamsters. That means there is a quiet male rebellion against the Harris candidacy.

Many men are observing Harris’ campaign and the way she has degraded men into beta males like Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff, subservient men.

And they don’t like it.

There are a lot of men publicly saying they are undecided in this election — but have actually decided they’re voting in favor of Trump.

So, I don’t think polls that show Harris winning women by a huge margin and Trump only winning men by a sort of mid-margin are accurate.

This election is going to come down, once again, to the blue states. It’s going to be about Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Michigan is her best state. Wisconsin is her second-best state. And Pennsylvania is basically a dead heat at this point.

In Pennsylvania on Monday, the most egregiously offensive incident I’ve ever seen in a campaign took place, an unprecedented event in the history of American politics. A shocking story.

According to the Associated Press:

Under tight security, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday visited a Pennsylvania ammunition factory to thank the workers who are producing one of the most critically needed munitions for his country’s fight to fend off Russian ground forces.

Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Democrat who was among those who met with Zelenskyy at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, said the president had a simple message: “Thank you. And we need more.”

Zelenskyy was scheduled to speak at the U.N. General Assembly annual gathering in New York on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then go to Washington, D.C. to hang out with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Instead, the Biden administration flew him to Pennsylvania. They sent a United States C-17 to pick him up and fly him to Pennsylvania.

It seems like there’s something going on in Pennsylvania. What could it be? Could it be that it’s the most important state in a swing-state election? That if Pennsylvania goes Democrat, Harris wins; and if Pennsylvania goes Republican, Trump wins?

I have never seen anything like this. Talk about foreign election interference. In 2016, Democrats claimed the Russians were intervening on behalf of Trump. Their evidence included that the Russians had some cutouts and were trying to retail information to the Trump campaign, information that never materialized and was never used. Then, they proclaimed, “Oh, it was the Russians on Facebook. The Russians on Facebook!”

They put up all sorts of memes. And it turned out that the amount of engagement earned by the Russians on Facebook was less than my own personal Facebook page during that election cycle earned in one month during the entirety of the election. So it was not the Russians interfering.

But this? This is foreign election interference on its face. This is insane. Flying in a foreign leader to campaign in a battleground state is unheard of.

Furthermore, I don’t know why it’s a good move for Zelenskyy. Any foreign leader has to maintain the patina of attempting to reach out to both sides of the aisle. It is a foolhardy endeavor to attempt to cultivate only one side of the aisle.

He went to an arms munitions factory in a swing state and got a tour from Pennsylvania Democrat governor Josh Shapiro.

This is not how foreign policy is actually done in the United States, by having the administration fly in a foreign leader to go do your rabble-rousing for you in a swing state. 

Now it’s clear why Harris randomly name-checked Polish Americans in Pennsylvania during her debate with Trump. She said to Trump, “Why don’t you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch.”

I had never seen such a specific political callout in the middle of a debate. She specifically called out the Polish Americans in an attempt to say that they had to be in favor of her because Trump was not sufficiently in favor of the Ukraine war.

So we know what she’s doing right now. She’s bringing in Zelenskyy to campaign for the votes of Eastern Europeans who have historically lived under the thumb of the Russians.

Not only that, Zelenskyy did an interview with the New Yorker in which he specifically called out the Trump-Vance ticket. When Zelensky was asked about Trump’s statements regarding Ukraine, he said, “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how. With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand. I’ve seen many leaders who were convinced they knew how to end it tomorrow, and as they waded deeper into it, they realized it’s not that simple.”

Then, he specifically said that JD Vance is “too radical.”

It’s a particularly weird move for Zelensky because he’s going to need Republican support if he wants more arms flowing his way.

Regardless, shipping Zelenskyy to Pennsylvania shows the desperation of the Biden-Harris campaign.

It shows that they think the whole election is going to come down to Pennsylvania. They want the Polish-American vote, which is likely to go for Trump. Historically, Polish Americans in Pennsylvania have been blue-collar workers who are in industries like fracking. They tend to be Catholic, which means culturally conservative.

So Harris is trying to make inroads by using Ukraine as the lever.
