It’s almost poetic: three different Trump projects — the $1.8B “weaponization fund,” the Kennedy Center re‑branding adventure, and the July 4th celebration that lost its performers faster than a karaoke bar on fire — all collapsed for the same reason. When you spend your life believing rules are for the little people, eventually the little people’s rules get tired of being ignored. Courts, boards, and even musicians with functioning self‑respect all delivered the same message: “No, actually, you can’t just do whatever you want because you feel like it.”

And of course, this is classic narcissist‑style behavior — the belief, as critics often describe it, that rules, whether legal or just basic societal norms, are for everyone else. Who knew?

These weren’t isolated setbacks; they were a group intervention by reality itself. Turns out that when you govern like a man who thinks “process” is a personal insult, the universe eventually sends you a reminder that contracts exist, statutes exist, and performers don’t enjoy being drafted into your pageantry without consent. Who knew?

And we’ll leave it at that. We’ll be nice and not even get into how critics say the rest of the world has been rolling its eyes at Trump’s Iran bravado — the “we won” declarations, the “nothing short of unconditional surrender” talk sixty days ago, and now a posture that doesn’t even secure a rollback of Iran’s nuclear program. Analysts estimate the U.S. has poured tens of billions into this conflict and imposed what amounts to an energy tax on Americans, only to drift toward a nuclear arrangement that looks, at best, no stronger than Obama’s — which, in Trump’s telling, was unacceptable mainly because Obama got credit for it.

Well, we are finally there - government by cult. Fealty - intense, unwavering loyalty or fidelity to a person or group; Cult - a group of individuals bound together by an intense devotion to a person or idea. (Webster). After what we just witnessed in Kentucky, Texas, and Indiana it’s clear no Republican is capable of having an independent thought without being voted off of Trumps ever shrinking island. Congratulations MAGA - you’ve Made America a Gaping As***le in the eyes of the world.

Terry Disseminates Sanity -TDS Talk #58 Payback to the Ethanol Lobby

In reading the attached May 10, 2026 Wall Street Journal Editorial Board Opinion piece, I could not help but react not just to the hypocrisy of this Administration’s actions, but also the simply obvious incoherence of its policies. Let’s examine.

For decades, the rationale for putting ethanol in gasoline was straightforward: it burned cleaner (not true but we are not getting into organic chemistry here), displaced a slice of petroleum, and gave us a small domestic renewable component. Even at 10%, it helped combustion run cleaner — and yes, as the WSJ notes, it even boosts octane. Fine. That’s chemistry. But the policy justification was always environmental and energy‑security based. You know, good old home grown fuel when we were at the mercy of OPEC. Well those days are behind us as we have plenty of oil so the energy security argument no longer holds, so the only reason to use ethanol at all, must be environmental, right?

This Administration spent five years rolling back fuel‑economy standards, weakening Clean Air Act enforcement, and kneecapping the domestic EV industry — all moves that increase gasoline consumption and pollution. That’s the “deregulatory” story they’ll tell.

And yet, in the same breath, they shoveled billions into ethanol subsidies to appease the corn lobby — subsidies as noted in the editorial that were designed to compensate farmers for the tariff‑driven losses in soybean markets. Then the lobby went further: they threatened to hold the farm bill hostage unless they got year‑round approval for E15 fuel. The problem? E15 (15% ethanol) can only be sold in non‑summer months because in summer it actually increases smog formation. In other words, the last remaining environmental argument for ethanol collapses — we’re now subsidizing a fuel blend that creates the very pollution ethanol was supposed to reduce.

Sanity Point:

So we end up with the worst of all worlds: more pollution, fewer EVs, higher long‑term costs, and a massive government subsidy to support a policy rationale, environmental benefit, the Administration has already abandoned everywhere else in transportation. Further, the expansion of this subsidy (year round E15) is not an environmental enhancement at all.

This is not deregulation, it’s pure pork to compensate constituents that have been harmed by other policy decisions - tariffs. If this Is“energy policy,” then it’s totally incoherent with every other policy in the area of domestic transportation.

The attached table assists in summarizing.

Terry Disseminates Sanity – TDS Talk #57 – My Disdain for Trump Is More Than Personal

I was at a Kentucky Derby party with friends who know my disdain for the Trump presidency. Someone remarked, “Well, you just don’t like the personality — where’s your allegiance to the ideology?” Really? Trump represents Republican ideology? My objections are not limited to ideology. I also find his behavior, rhetoric, and conduct repugnant — and I’m not afraid to say that out loud.

For most of my adult life, I understood the Republican Party to stand on a set of clear, durable principles. These were not abstractions; they were the backbone of American conservatism for nearly half a century. Free trade, strong alliances, constitutional restraint, and a firm opposition to authoritarianism were not optional components of the GOP identity — they were the identity.

I aligned with those principles because they reflected a confident, outward‑looking America: a nation that led the free world, strengthened markets, honored its commitments, and defended democratic norms. That was the Republican Party I knew.

Over the past decade, however, I have watched the party’s center of gravity shift dramatically. What now passes as “Republicanism” bears little resemblance to the principles that defined the party from Reagan through Romney. This is not just a matter of ideology — though the ideological break is real. It is also a matter of character, temperament, and basic civic decency. Trump fails on both fronts.

Although Trump did campaign on using tariffs as leverage, the sweeping, multi‑front tariff regime he ultimately implemented went far beyond what he described on the trail. His campaign rhetoric focused on targeted measures aimed primarily at China and offshoring companies; he did not present voters with a plan to impose broad tariffs on allies, launch a global steel and aluminum tariff program, or replace decades of Republican free‑trade policy with a protectionist economic framework. The governing reality represented a much larger ideological shift than the campaign message suggested.

My lack of support for Donald Trump is rooted in this divergence — and in his conduct. He has jettisoned core Republican principles and replaced them with a populist‑nationalist framework that is fundamentally at odds with the party’s long‑standing commitments. And on top of that, his behavior, language, and disregard for norms are simply unacceptable to me. I do not reject conservatism; I reject the abandonment of it — and I reject the behavior that accompanies it.

To illustrate this shift, I offer the following high‑level comparison of traditional GOP positions and the Trump‑era realignment.

𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭

My disagreement is not with conservatism. It is with the abandonment of it — and with the behavior that now accompanies that abandonment.

𝗧𝗗𝗦 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 #𝟱𝟲 — 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲?
𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗱.

The purpose of this TDS is simple: to explain how a President can ignore both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, and why—despite months of public argument—nothing stops it.

This analysis summarizes the constitutional and statutory framework governing the initiation of military force by the United States. It draws on publicly available legal sources, including the Constitution, the War Powers Resolution, and relevant Office of Legal Counsel opinions. It is provided to help you understand the confusion over War Powers and how Presidents, not just Trump, are able to conduct wars while bypassing Congress. Readers are encouraged to consult primary materials to deepen their understanding of the issues discussed.

Ever since the Venezuelan operation, and now throughout the Iran conflict (which the President and his allies insist is “not a war”), many of us have been arguing that these actions are illegal. And yet the operations continue. The question is how. How can this be?

Article I of the Constitution is unambiguous: Congress has the power to declare war. We haven’t declared war since World War II, but we’ve certainly had our share of wars. Why?

Article II names the President as Commander in Chief. That role carries limited authority to use military force without Congress. It is not open‑ended. Twice this century, the President’s own Office of Legal Counsel has reaffirmed the same rule: a President may unilaterally use force only when the operation is limited in nature, limited in scope, and limited in duration.

Congress eventually recognized that Presidents were stretching this “limited” authority beyond recognition. In 1973, after Vietnam and the secret bombing campaigns in Cambodia and Laos, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution over President Nixon’s veto. The law requires a President to seek congressional authorization after 60 days if hostilities continue.

In the Iran conflict, that 60‑day clock expired on May 1, 2026.

Will anything happen? Not likely.

The President says he doesn’t need to come to Congress because “hostilities have ended,” but in the next breath he says Iran has only two options: make a deal or be destroyed. Even if Congress were unified enough to order a cessation of hostilities, the President would likely ignore it, claiming the WPR is unconstitutional.

And who would stop him?

The answer is: no one. This is the structural flaw in our system of three coequal branches. We teach that one branch makes the laws, one executes the laws, and one interprets the laws. But in war powers, the branch that executes the law also interprets it. And the courts refuse to intervene because they do not want to second‑guess a Commander in Chief during an ongoing conflict.

That is how we have entered and sustained 21st‑century wars with only one Authorization for Use of Military Force since World War II. It took me months to understand this convoluted construct. This TDS is meant to give everyone else the same clarity—because very few people understand how something that looks so blatantly illegal can continue unchecked.

𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁:
Two hundred fifty years into the American constitutional system, the United States still lacks a workable mechanism to prevent or reverse unilateral presidential military actions. On paper, Congress holds the war power. In practice, the legal tools designed to enforce that power — including the War Powers Resolution — have proven largely unenforceable.

There has never been a criminal charge against Donald Trump for r**e, sexual assault, or pe******ia.
None. Not in New York. Not federally. Not anywhere.

And because no prosecutor ever brought a case, there is no legal mechanism by which he could have been 𝗲𝘅𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Exoneration is a criminal‑law concept — overturned convictions, dismissed indictments, DNA‑based clearing. None of that applies here.

So the claim is not merely false.
It is 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.

Two federal juries heard testimony, reviewed evidence, and reached clear conclusions:

• Trump was 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for statements he made about Carroll.
• A second jury found him 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 and awarded $83.3 million.
• The judge later clarified that the conduct proven at trial meets the common definition of r**e, even though New York’s statutory definition is narrower.

These are not exonerations.
They are 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 — the strongest findings available in a civil system.

There is no criminal charge, civil claim, investigation, or judicial finding involving pe******ia.
Nothing exists from which he could claim to have been 𝗲𝘅𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.

So when he tells Norah O’Donnell, with full indignation, “𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱,” he is not referencing any legal process.
He is not referencing any judicial ruling.
He is not referencing any factual record.

He is referencing 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, because nothing exists.

He constructs an alternate reality in which:

• the absence of criminal charges becomes proof of innocence, and
• the presence of civil liability becomes proof of persecution.

Trump was not exonerated.
He was never charged.
And in the one venue where evidence was actually tested — he lost. Twice.

Yet he looks into the camera and declares the opposite, because the truth is incompatible with the self‑image he must maintain.

That is not strategy.
That is pathology.

Strong Legal Framework to Ensure Ethics in Government — Yet They Don’t Apply to the President or His Family

There are days when I think back to my federal career and wonder whether I imagined the entire ethics system. Under the rules we lived by, even the appearance of benefiting a family member could trigger an investigation. You couldn’t attend a meeting, sign a memo, or even be in the same ZIP code as a procurement decision if a relative might conceivably profit. That was the culture: protect the integrity of government by avoiding even the shadow of a conflict.

And then you look at the presidency — and discover that the entire ethics framework stops one rung below the top. The Hatch Act? Applies to federal employees, not the President. The criminal conflict‑of‑interest statute? Applies to federal employees, not the President. Procurement integrity rules? Apply to contracting officers and SES officials, not the President. The “appearance of impropriety” standard? Universal in the civil service — nonexistent at the presidential level. It’s a strong legal framework, but it has a presidential‑sized escape hatch built right into it.

That’s the irony: the strictest ethics rules bind the people with the least power, while the broadest exemptions apply to the person with the most. And unless Congress chooses to act, those exemptions stay in place. So far, Congress has not acted. The result is a system where federal employees tiptoe around hypothetical conflicts, while the presidency operates in a zone the ethics statutes simply don’t reach.

Against that backdrop, it was hard not to miss Eric Trump’s appearance on Fox Business, where he discussed a $24 million defense‑related contract involving a company he advises. He described the project enthusiastically, and the conversation did not address the kinds of conflict‑of‑interest questions that would immediately arise for any federal employee involved in procurement. The contrast between the rules that govern the civil service and the exemptions that apply at the presidential level is stark — and it’s built into the structure of federal ethics law.

Public discourse is full of graphics and posts alleging that various business ventures connected to presidential family members have benefited from the presidency. Whether individual figures are accurate or not, the sheer volume of these claims reflects a broader public awareness of the structural gap: the ethics rules that apply to federal employees do not apply to the President or to family members who are private citizens.

And then there’s the contrast that dominated political conversation for years: the allegations surrounding Hunter Biden. Those allegations centered on the appearance of influence — not U.S. government contracts, not procurement decisions, and not evidence of official action benefiting him. Let’s illustrate the structural differences:

Comparison: Hunter Biden vs. Eric Trump

CATEGORY: Type of Business Involvement
• Hunter Biden: Board member of a foreign energy company (Burisma)
• Eric Trump: Adviser/investor in a U.S. robotics/drone company

CATEGORY: Connection to U.S. Government Contracts
• Hunter Biden: No U.S. government contracts involved; Burisma is a private Ukrainian firm
• Eric Trump: Reporting suggests involvement in a company that received a U.S. defense‑related contract

CATEGORY: Alleged Concern
• Hunter Biden: Appearance that his role could overlap with his father’s diplomatic portfolio
• Eric Trump: Appearance that a president’s family member may benefit from U.S. government procurement decisions

CATEGORY: Evidence of Official Action by the President/Vice President
• Hunter Biden: Multiple investigations (including Republican‑led) found no evidence Joe Biden took official action to benefit his son
• Eric Trump: No public evidence the President took official action to award or influence the contract

CATEGORY: Applicable Ethics Rules
• Hunter Biden: Private citizen; ethics rules apply only to federal officials; Joe Biden was bound by federal ethics rules as VP
• Eric Trump: Private citizen; ethics rules do not apply to him; the President is exempt from key ethics statutes (Hatch Act, conflict‑of‑interest laws)

CATEGORY: Nature of Revenue Source
• Hunter Biden: Compensation from a foreign private company
• Eric Trump: Revenue from a U.S. government contract awarded to a company he advises

CATEGORY: Investigations / Oversight
• Hunter Biden: Multiple congressional and DOJ reviews; no evidence of official misconduct found
• Eric Trump: No formal congressional or DOJ investigation reported regarding the contract

CATEGORY: Core Issue Raised in Public Discourse
• Hunter Biden: Whether foreign business ties created an appearance of influence
• Eric Trump: Whether family business interests intersect with U.S. government spending and procurement

Two very different situations — yet often discussed as if they were equivalent. So the question practically asks itself: is this what anyone meant by “making America great again.”

As already inferred, it’s egregious that the President and his family can profit so blatantly from the President’s policies and deliberative actions.

𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺. Experience has shown it’s futile to argue with people operating from blind allegiance. You’re welcome to react however you choose — like, love, laugh, or send the angry face — and you’re free to comment in agreement, disagreement, or clarification. But I will not be responding. The only caveat is this: if you misrepresent what I’ve said, I won’t correct you; I’ll simply delete the comment. My page, my rules.
