Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: In a 2015 post, Abel Danger argued...

Editor's note: ...that it was among the earliest outlets to warn that the U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) program was being exploited as a covert financial and contracting channel rather than a legitimate small-business aid program. This blog was the first to politically connect firms and intermediaries used 8(a) status (contractor listings) to route federal contracts, launder funds, and shield misconduct from oversight, with federal agencies allegedly enabling or ignoring the abuse. Abel Danger (AD) demonstrated systemic corruption within the 8(a) program long before later scrutiny emerged, positioning this blog as an early critic of what it described as the program's "nefarious operations." Abel Danger who were a global team of virtual economic forensic investigators warned President Trump back in 2017 about the 8(a) program. AD told the Trump administration British Serco as a "prime contractor" secures U.S. federal prime contracts and subcontracts portions of that work to SBA-certified 8(a) minority businesses to satisfy federal small-business contracting requirements.

Hegseth's move to return the US military to conservatives hits a shocking scandal

January 21, 2026 | By revolver

For a while, conservatives were asleep at the wheel. We actually believed there were lines the left wouldn't cross. We thought there were institutions they would never be able to take over. The United States Military was one of those "sacred" and seemingly untouchable institutions. The military was mission-driven, hierarchical, and grounded in 100 percent total reality. It wasn't built for social experiments, and it could never be twisted to bend to ideological nonsense.

But that assumption turned out to be a mistake. A huge one, actually.

While our attention was focused on other things, like schools, media, corporations, and churches, the left made it's move. They were smart. They didn't try to confront the military head-on. Instead, they worked around the edges, slowly but surely embedding ideology through policy, contracting rules, and cultural pressure that never made the headlines. What followed was the total and complete weaponization of the US Military.


DEI frameworks crept into decision-making, and merit took a backseat to identity and skin color. And the armed forces were treated as a testing ground for gender ideology and progressive politics. Recruitment circled the drain, and moral was in the toilet.

We didn't lose the military in some dramatic showdown. We lost it because we thought it was untouchable, and we took our eye off the ball. Lesson learned.

But the good news is that the course is starting to be corrected. Team Trump has been strategically bulldozing the DEI disaster that destroyed this country from the inside, including hallowing out the military. That cleanup didn’t start yesterday, but it's now reached a critical point. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has just made his boldest move yet, taking decisive action to return the US Military to where it belongs, back in the hands of conservatives and back to its core mission.

And it all kicks off with something very few Americans have ever heard of…

For decades, a race-based federal contracting program has been operating inside the military, steering billions of taxpayer dollars through DEI programs. This program has quietly decided who got paid, who got protected, and who avoided any scrutiny.

We recently covered a story on this very system. It was flagged by the Daily Wire, which urged Team Trump to dismantle it.

Revolver:
A long time ago, in a swamp far, far away, the government cooked up a program that said, "Some businesses get special goodies if the owner fits a certain category." It was sold as a way to help genuinely struggling, disadvantaged people.

But then the government added a shortcut:

"If you're a racial minority, we will automatically declare you disadvantaged. No questions asked." And that's where the fairy tale ends and the games begin.

Companies figured out they could form 51–49 partnerships where the "51 percent owner" brought absolutely nothing to the table except their skin color, and the 49 percent partner did all the actual work. DEI at its scariest.

And in perfect government fashion, they never bothered to check who was actually disadvantaged, never checked if anyone actually faced discrimination, and didn't even care if the so-called "disadvantaged owner" was a millionaire nepo baby.
Daily Wire:

In 1953, Congress instructed the Small Business Administration to reserve some federal contracts for "disadvantaged" businesses. Beginning in 1986, SBA counted businesses owned by racial minorities as "presumptively" disadvantaged. That meant instead of an applicant having to show that he had actually faced discrimination, he simply needed to show his race. The result was the 8(a) program, a sprawling DEI enterprise that has impacted every aspect of government.

[…]

Ultima sued in March 2020, alleging anti-white discrimination, but the Trump administration fought it, filing a motion to dismiss in July 2020.

Documents unearthed through that lawsuit revealed that even though the government claimed being a racial minority merely provided a "rebuttable presumption" that someone had experienced discrimination that "could be overcome with credible evidence to the contrary," it had no mechanism for someone to actually rebut it. That means even "nepo babies" and people who worked in industries where their race never experienced discrimination were put on the fast track to government contracts.

A "socially and economically disadvantaged small business" is one that is at least 51% owned by a disadvantaged person. So, soon people began forming 51-49 partnerships where one person’s role was essentially to be a racial minority so contracts could be awarded to the company with no competition, while the other provided the actual expertise and work.

Even worse, there was no process for anyone to say:

"Hey, I'm not actually disadvantaged. This isn't real."

So, as you can imagine, it turned into a giant magic-word DEI scam. Say the right racial category, get free government contracts, and everyone else is locked out.
Let freedom ring…
This is a great article, filled with details and back-story information. You can read the entire piece here:

Daily Wire just blew up the 8(a) Scam. It's time to kill this DEI disaster for good…

Hegseth's latest move blows up key parts of this dangerous system. He's begun dismantling one of the oldest DEI programs in the federal government and is redirecting that money back toward the military's actual purpose: defending this great nation. Yes, that is a meaningful shift, and this move matters.

But the fact that it's only a partial dismantling is the part of this story that should give every Americans pause.

This program has not been fully terminated. According to reports, factions inside the White House fought to keep pieces of it alive. And they succeeded. Now, what we have left is a massive contracting pipeline, basically, a multibillion-dollar slush fund, that's still operating under DEI rules and still feeding the same DEI machinery. That can't stand.

Christopher F. Rufo:
EXCLUSIVE: Despite promising to abolish DEI, President Trump's Small Business Administration is running a $26 billion slush fund that is open to all identity groups, except for one: white men. This is the story of the scandalous 8(a) program.

Sources are now telling me there was a proposal to unilaterally terminate the 8(a) contracting program, but a faction within the White House shot it down. It’s time to take action: discontinue the program, which violates the 14th Amendment, and settle it in the courts.

In addition, per sources, there are some senators from states with significant tribal populations—particularly, a senator from Alaska—who want to keep the billions flowing through Native American shell companies. This is a scandal. It has to stop. No more racialism.
