Middle of May

It's the middle of may now. May was about politicians being scrutinized by the courts. We had Donald Trump taken to court for suspected fraud then later being accused of sex crimes. Then we had the packistan prime minister taken to court because he was accused of corruption. My mind was elsewhere the whole time. 

I was thinking about the veranda house. A house I would build If I had a lot of wealth and planning permission. 

I was thinking about what the house would do. It is slightly pyramid shaped; each level is smaller than the level below so it yealds to outside space. The ground floor is a veranda that goes all the way around. The second floor is bedrooms next to a balcony lawn. The top floor is the man cave room and workshop along side water tanks. The water tanks collect rain water from the roof and use it  for the washing machines. The warm grey water that comes from the back of the washing machine would then go into more water tanks and be used flush toilets. The top roof and walls are covered in solar panels. The warm water would help to keep the house warm instead of just going straight down the sewers. 

Then I was thinking about planets. I wonder if people know we now look directly at planets in other solar systems. Mini Neptune planets are very common in the universe. Neptune is a giant gassy planet, we need a telescope to see it so the ancient people didn't know it was there. There are many gassy planets in the universe that are about half the size of Neptune, many people think they're super earths that accreted too much gas on the surface. It's strange there is no mini Neptunes in our solar system that we know of. Maybe there is a 9th planet in the solar system we haven't discovered yet. 

 I was thinking what would happen if Pluto was reclassified as a planet. They would have to call all the other dwarf-planets planets, Ceres, MakeMake and Sedna, we would end up with at least 15 planets on the chart. 

Truth Media

Recently, Elon Musk unblocked Donald Trump's twitter account but Don didn't want to use it because Donald trump now owns his own social media platform called 'Truth Social'. I tried it out myself and thought it was quite good. It is light weight so it runs like a web page embedded in an app. I thought that was a good idea because the app doesn't use much memory, it is using objects on the smart phone os that is already made and present. So far I really like Donald Trump's truth social. I like the simplicity of it and the way it doesn't take much space on the phone. I have been on Twitter for 13 years and only have about 50 followers, I hope I get more followers on 'Truth Social'. I'm also impressed that they allowed CNN on there after they seemed biased against him quite often. 

I went back to Don's old twitter feed and I found this tweet. 

The more I learn about Donald Trump, the more I like him. They were making out like he wanted the January Capital riots to happen but this is wrong. Donald Trump loves law and order. We all know the police force isn't infallible, they employ a few bad cops but overall the police force in America is very constructive. There are harmful people present in every profession unfortunately. The way to deal with them is to monitor them and stop the bad individuals. 

I also share his views on abortion, especially in the 3rd trimester. I agree that Hillary is wrong to campaign for 3rd trimester birth control abortions, I view a 2nd trimester fetus as an infant, not a clump of cells. I would prefer if they chose not to get pregnant or have the abortion in the 1st trimester. That is the way I feel about it. 

Interesting times ahead. My truth social tag is the same as my twitter tag @alspresso. 

Trump impeached

President trump was Impeached yesterday. This means that he was charged with misconduct while in power and will be taken to court to be judged on whether he can remain in office at the start of 2020 I believe. 

I knew it was going to be a political Christmas this year because of the snap election here in the UK but I never saw the impeachment coming. Many experts think that the impeachment won't get through the senetor court because the evidence is insignificant. There is not much evidence that he abused his power and there is no evidence he took a bribe or anything like that. 

All I can say is Christmas 2019 is wet and political in the UK, especially if you watch the news. Lots of rain no snow and news full of politics. 

Trump visit

Earlier in the week, during the d day rememberence day and shortly before for 3 days, Donald Trump visited the United Kingdom. Donald trump is not the type of guy that I would be friends with. Some of the things he said in the past hurt my ears. I think he has little respect for most people. I wouldn't like to meet him in a locker room and hear him talk. However he didn't come to make friends with people. He came as his duty to represent the people of the United States of America. He was doing his job. That is why I was disappointed by all the leaders that didn't show up to the banquet table when they where invited.

Think of it this way. In America one term is 4 years and the maximum number of terms a president can serve is 2. So this means the maximum time he can stay president is 8 years. And he may only serve one term or get impeached before that.

Now he could get replaced by another leader that seems to have a better moral fabric within 5 years from now but if you wait that long to engage in talks and meetings then it may be too late and the ostracized president would cooperate with another state leader and increase relations with them instead of us.

These politicians are working for us and it is their job to represent us. So if they boycott then they are not doing their job. I hope that every party leader that failed to show up and represent their constituents in these talks would not get elected again next time because I think they are forgetting who they are working for.

Jerusalem & Trump

Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump of America officially recognized Jerusalem as the Capital city of Israel. The decision was very unpopular around the world. In my view, a holy city does not belong to anyone. If the city belongs to a government then that city is no longer Holy. If a Christian goes to the church or Muslim goes to a Mosque or Jew to the Synagogue, they will all claim those places are holy and that they belong to the whole community, the same is true of a holy city. The city should belong to itself and no government or ruler should ever own it.

The Palestinian community also claim ownership of the city. To them it must be a huge blow. I'm sure they feel like their identity is being removed from the land.

I lack the ability and the will to even try to solve the problems that exist in the middle East. If the experts can't do it then I will assume that I have no answer.

Today I am grateful for peace because it can be taken away at any time and peace was not always available.

Trump is president

Today I watched the inauguration of Donald John Trump on the news. I was surprised to see George Bush there after the berating and humiliation of his brother.

He seems to be very unpopular and there are lots of protests against him. What I know is disliking a religion is not a racist thing. If I hate Scientology or a Christian denomination I would not be racist, this should be the same for all religions. Hating a theology is just that, there is no racism in the dislike of a religion. But Trump wants to build a wall across the Mexican border, that could be racist and I think that  Americans should remember that most of them are immigrants. 


He looked like he had plan and that he was determined to bring change to America. I agree with a few things that he said like not wasting money giving military aid to other countries. We will see what happens.

I would say, give him 4 years and see what happens, if you don't like what he is doing in 4 years then you can vote him out at the end of the Term. Lets just see what happens. Anyway protesting just seems to make him stronger because his supporters counter the protests with their support.

Donald Trump and Croydon Tram

Donald Trump has been elected president of the united states of America.  I wish him good luck. I hope that he makes good trade deals with the UK and US when we leave the EU in 2 years. 

I wish the best for America and I hope that the people that voted for Hillary or the other guys keep their chins up and sees opportunity in any changes.

I am distancing  myself from politics now because I feel it is out of my control. I'm just a little guy and I don't have any answers and no one listens to me anyway.

I am shocked that on the same Day a tram overturned in south London and seven people were killed. I wonder why,  Perhaps the driver was going too fast or there was something on the track, the incident happened in Croydon yesterday. We will see in good time what actually happened.

Today I am grateful for my good health and all the opportunities that come with it. If my health was too bad then I would not have the freedom to create so many things.
