Happy Birthday, Kentucky!

June 1, 1792 - 234 Years Ago Today - Kentucky became the 15th state admitted to the union of the United States of America.

On April 2, 1792, five delegates from each of Kentucky’s nine counties gathered in Danville for a constitutional convention after the United States finally accepted Kentucky’s petition for statehood following nine conventions held over seven years. The state’s first constitution created a structure for state government but it never mentioned taxation, education, or a means of adding amendments. Ironically, Kentucky’s 100,000 citizens never voted on the constitution.

Two hundred thirty-four years later, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that Kentucky's current population is 4,629,682.

Welcome to Trump’s Washington, where the line between public power and private profit keeps getting blurrier by the day.

Earlier this year, Trump bought millions in Dell stock. In May, Trump stood at the White House and shouted at people to “Buy Dell!” That was at an event for…Mother’s Day.

Totally normal presidential behavior.

Now, we’ve learned that Dell has landed a five-year Pentagon contract worth nearly $10 billion.

Let’s call this what is: blatant corruption with a side of insider training.

Because the commander-in-chief oversees the military. The Pentagon spends public money in the name of national security. And when a company the president has invested in receives a massive Pentagon contract after public praise from that same president, Americans have every right to ask who exactly is really being served.

The country? Or just one narcissist at the top?

And Dell is hardly the only example.

Trump has also bought shares in Nvidia, another company deeply entangled with U.S. national security policy. At the same time, his administration has made major decisions involving AI chip exports, China, and the companies positioned to profit from those decisions.

This is a major problem.

When the president owns stock in companies affected by his government’s contracts, export rules, tariffs, and public endorsements, every policy decision is with the same mindset as a day trader on the stock market floor.

At a time when Americans are being told to tighten their belts, Trump is playing fast and loose with national security, federal contracts, and global markets — all to increase his bloated net worth.

The Pentagon’s objectives are supposed to be to deter war and defend the NATION’s interests.

Really batting 0 for 2 there.
