Tropical Soulvanglical proclaims the current state of higher education to be at an all time low, now that Rutgers he's seeing as totally compromising both its mission statement and set of rules and regulations in the way they answered their current ransom note. OK, so TSV thinks it's reasonable to have an Arab cultural center and to reach out to Palestinian refugees who may seek enrollment. But that whole bit of Rutgers proclaiming the current conflict with genocidal language is just inexplicable. The word genocide he sees as being so badly twisted by the protestors to the point where the word doesn't have any meaning anymore. Just about every word out of their mouths was the g-word. TSV hopes the RJSU answers back with an insistence that Rutgers -acknowledges- 10/7 as an Attempted Holocaust, because TSV doesn't see how that's not historically accurate. It -was- an attempted Holocaust, and TSV sees Rutgers as owing to both its Jewish student body and concerned gentile students accordingly. TSV's hoping that Rutgers' history professors take Rutgers to task over the historical accuracy of applying the g-word to the current conflict, as terrible as it is. Overall, TSV sees -all schools- as having no business making any deals with radicalist groups that think nothing of breaking into school buildings and taking down the American flag from that school's flagpole. You're only reinforcing bad behavior, and they'll do it again in the fall over something as small as parking privileges in a parking lot that's just 10 feet away from an actual -public- parking lot. Another thing is that TSV doesn't see how Rutgers giving into demands and necessarily passing it by their Board Of Trustees and Concerned Alumni, who he encourages to outright reject the groups' demands, even the reasonable ones. The problem is, the school year is over, and these groups won't meet till September, which is what he believes the protest groups intended all along. As TSV parses through his political junk mail and inexplicably seeing AOC and Greenpeace stuff, he's wondering how serious we necessarily are about any given "threat" to democracy if democracy has never truly existed on college campuses. He's seeing this as a repeat of 2004 whereby he caught activists using the activist infrastructure to meet at a convenience store on non-activist matters while they also tried to tell people that if George Bush got a second term America will be a banana republic. Well as we saw in history, Bush -did- get that second term, but the activists didn't then say, oh now we're in a banana republic so let's give up and throw in the towel. Instead he heard them say, okay people let's keep fighting, which is what TSV was saying all along, but it wasn't "acceptable" because it wasn't political trope compliant. So the next time he hears anyone saying something to the effect of, "If Person X wins, it's all over and no more democracy," he'll take it as a mere political trope rather than as the actual serious concern it should be. By contrast, when AOC runs and wins the Presidency in 2028, TSV proclaims -that- to be the end of democracy as we know it, and yes, we would then -have- to throw in the towel. All other action at that point would be utterly pointless.

OK, people, let's talk about the Supreme Court. Again. Last time, Tropical Soulvanglical called for its abolition, and not only does he call for it again, he also wishes his difference-maker brethren on the Insurgent Network join him accordingly. But instead, he saw them trying to tell people, well because the Supreme Court wants to grant -trump- limited immunity in the January 6 case, pragmatism is bust and you -have- to support our all-or-nothing hysteria for 2024 which we also did for 2004 and 1964. Again, that's the hysteria that says, if the "right person" doesn't win, it's all over and you might as well throw in the towel. TSV taking a pragmatic approach has come back and said, no that's anti-pragmatic to say things like that. And then there's the Supreme Court hearing, and then the Network wants to tell TSV that the hearing by itself somehow means pragmatism is no longer an option, and therefore the only option that's left is the hysteria. No, TSV replies, your saying that just means you're just pro-hysteria at all costs and as such, how does TSV know that you're also not anti-pragmatic by extension? And he doesn't want to hear them go, oh we're not saying we're -necessarily- anti-pragmatic, because then he'll go, well you said it yourself that if A is not an option and if that means B is the only option, how are you -not- anti-pragmatic out of being pro-hysteria? Of course if TSV is faced up with that blonde haired me-too-male that for some reason was able to shoehorn his way on Morning Show to have argued in favor of a pro-hysteria ideology, he'll let MTM go into his word salad fit, a la Matt Gaetz, wait till he's done and say, the details are mostly unimportant, MTM, and they don't invalidate pragmatic thinking. TSV isn't going to let himself get pulled down to MTM's confused frame of mind, because he saw what happened 20 years ago when MTM had at it with Zell Miller, who then said he regretted that having a duel was illegal. TSV can deal with just desserts like MTM far better, so it's just not a good look for Morning Show to have that guy on, and subsequently Morning Show himself wasn't on that day, and TSV really would have wanted to get Show's take on it rather than MTM. In any case, no matter how completely bad and abolishable TSV proclaims the Supreme Court to be, the pragmatic method -itself- is the argument against hysterical thinking, because hysterics TSV has figured out is a good sales argument. It's not a good logic argument, but when has logic ever sold more shaving cream than hysterics do? It's about abandoning reason in favor of giving into the temptation of one's primary urges of the emotion of fear. TSV is conservative, and what he conserves is the pro-pragmatism resistance against fear, because once you give into fear, -that's- when you should throw in the towel. TSV fully expects this coming week on Morning Show not to talk about the Supreme Court again, because all that would do is for cool heads to prevail, and a big problem with the Network TSV finds is there being too many open narratives to close the loop on. He'd like Morning Show The Man to go, oh come MTM get a grip already, but because MSTM wasn't there that day, he may forget that anything ever happened.

Tropical Soulvanglical's finding a lot to unpack with respect to what's plain to him as the Israel Haters' takeover of higher education at this time. He beseeches the listener to dispense with all the talk about allowing for free speech, because he doesn't see this as central to the issue at hand. Firstly, it's about what he hears on audio as authorities saying that the protest groups were infiltrated with sinister antisemitic elements, but TSV observes the protest groups as not dismissing those elements. Again, TSV brings up the example of the more peaceful BLM protestors dismissing elements that were infiltrating them at the time and saying, "this is not us." Never at any time did TSV hear the current protest groups saying such a thing, which to him is progressives looking the other way from a clear instance of immorality the same way they looked away 10 years ago when Putin took over and occupied Crimea. That was a year before TSV was made to lose a job because of progressive comfort with both big tech and Ed Snowden, both of which are only now getting their due of criticism. Secondly, he leans on the colleges not to divest from Israel as part of the Haters' demands, because then (like Hamas) they'll move the goal posts and say, oh now that we got you to do that, also do this. TSV doesn't see the Haters' demands as ever ending. He'll see them as effectively dismantling all the occupied colleges' rules and regulations and security departments to the point where he sees students partying all night, sleeping all day and not tending to their studies, because why -shouldn't- he believe this to be the result? Since he lost his job nine years ago, he's been implicitly and justifiably distrustful of the ever encroaching progressive movement. Though he found another job and has -reasonably- recovered economically, he's not going back to that time. He wants people to know who it really is the colleges are dealing with at this time, and also for the colleges to refer the matter to the relevant student councils. We're only talking about 100 protestors for every 10,000 students, so that's only 1% getting their say in, and most of them TSV suspects as not even being from the colleges they're occupying. Thirdly, TSV suspects foreign active measures at least in the darker half of the protests, and he's thinking Iran. After all, TSV remembers about Putin's active measures in 2016, so this strikes him as more or less the same thing. But here's the thing. -If- the colleges end up having to compromise all that they were ever about, they can wait till the protestors fold their tents and go home, and then quietly revest and roll back the rules and security departments when the protestors aren't there anymore to notice it. TSV recommends the colleges wait two weeks after the protestors leave, because again that's a news cycle worth of info, and by then we'll be deep into the Trump Trials.

A couple of things Tropical Soulvangelical forgot to mention with respect to the protests at Columbia University. Firstly, he did hear a couple days ago that there's a -counter- protest there as well, emphasizing the need for the return of the hostages, and this is another effort that TSV recommends supporting. But here's something he's just figured out regarding how the progressives tend to think. Whenever they mount an extreme protest campaign about something, they go out of their way to make their message as reasonable sounding as possible or at least somewhat ambivalent, not meant to stir up strong feelings one way or another. A ceasefire by itself isn't necessarily controversial. But what TSV observes this does is by default paint any counterprotest as automatically being -against- or the -opposite- of the canon protestors' messaging and hence -un- reasonable. The counterprotest at Columbia TSV observes as not opposing a ceasefire as much as bringing the hostages home. Of course TSV notices the protest groups as bearing sheer contempt for the hostages, and at the risk of repeating himself, generally -trumpist-. So it's supporting the counterprotest and again, reiterating that Columbia retain its Israel investments and not to divest. He also encourages another counterprotest for Columbia students essentially protesting the uncivil nature of the protests by taking Columbia up on its online/virtual learning offer, even if they don't have to deal with the protestors. Just do what they can to not step foot on campus and hence dignify the protests. Stay tuned as TSV monitors further developments as he may have further proclamations.

Here's what Tropical Soulvangelical wants to tell Columbia University, and he may very end up doing so at some point, possibly in an email. In two words, Don't Divest!! This is in response to the Anti-Israel protestors demanding that Columbia divest from Israel, because TSV sees the worst thing to do with respect to this protest group is to do what they say. He wants people to know that if you do that, they'll just come back with more demands, and then more and more demands, and before you know it you only live to do their bidding. He asks that people show more backbone in dealing with these types, because, again, you will know a tree by the fruit it bears. As a side-note to the whole protest issue, TSV heard about that one guy who burned himself to death as a part of his own demonstration. At first, he thought it was part of the regular protests. Turns out it wasn't, but this is an illustration of where TSV sees all the protests going, and not just with respect to Gaza and Israel, but other causes as well. He doesn't see any end to what the protest groups will end up doing, and he sees it amounting to an insurrection of sorts. If you don't know by now that it's these groups that are themselves undemocratic, TSV's not sure when you will. So he's not mad at the groups anymore, but he's thinking that once we as the grownups in the living room get through the current protest situation, the protests themselves in retrospect will not have aged well.

-trump- is WRONG and Tropical Soulvangelical doesn't care how many proud boys or oathkeepers or dangerous people with zip ties or AR-15s -trump- sends TSV's way for having said that. The thing TSV proclaims -trump- is wrong about (this time) is this "focus on the real crime" narrative. Both what -trump- did in business and what that disgruntled customer did in attacking the bodega worker -are both illegal-. TSV proclaims that it's partly because of -trump-'s crimes that that customer attacked that worker. When people hear things such as I Can Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue And Get Away With It, people like the disgruntled customer will follow through accordingly. This is one of countless examples of personal corruption TSV started noticing nearly ten years ago, and such a culture caused him to lose a previous job around that time. TSV rebuts -trump- in that if you want people to focus on "real crimes," don't commit any of your own. You're being tried for a reason, and your presence in the courtroom is an acknowledgement of that fact. The rest of us are -not on trial- just because we're not -trumpist- enough.

Now that Iran's attacked Israel, Tropical Soulvangelical wants to take that coverage to the not-committed type protest groups. He wants to ask them, is it just about a cease fire anymore? Or is it about an overall alliance with Israel, which TSV observes is shared by other countries and not just the U.S. TSV saw that it was the U.S. in conjunction with European countries that helped counter the attack, so he's wondering what exactly is the protest point in that. He's pretty sure they're either going to find one, or try to change the subject from the attack. Either way, TSV sees an Ed Snowden immorality going on which he sees no different from the personal corruption type immorality of a hit-and-run or what TSV just the other day mentions as -trump- trying to tell people I Can Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue And I Should Be Able To Get Away With It. This is also the kind of immorality that TSV sees as a response to Biden just being President. He does not see it as about anything particular thing Biden's doing wrong, because if it isn't Israel, it'll be another issue. TSV's pretty sure that even if Biden responds affirmatively on any possible issue the protest groups take issue with, it still won't be good enough. So -of course- there's going to be defamations and smoke bombings and handprintings and threats to Jewish students, not to mention election interference, and -of course- it's not limited to this elusive One Percent. TSV still induces it to be closer to up to 50%. The protest groups are just simply Neverbiden types, just like executive offices at most media companies.

Now that OJ Simpson's died, Tropical Soulvanglical wants to remind -trump- of how OJ died. TSV sees OJ as the unaccountable of his time, possibly to whom many of today's moguls of personal corruption look up to for guidance on how to immorally live. TSV sees them as seeing that immoral spirit of I Can Do Anything I Want, I Can Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue And I Should Get Away With It. When OJ died, his family called for "privacy and respect" according to the audio TSV heard on newsradio. He's thinking, privacy yes, but respect NO!! The newsradio followed up with examples of healthful and accountable non-respect in the case of OJ from those who had every reason to despise him. TSV in his religiosity is acutely aware of the maxim that you have to let someone like that go who has gone, but also that doing so is undermining your own self-respect. In fact, TSV complies what he hears implied as execution by bad health or just simply the inevitability of death. The same religiosity also called for praying for us sinners at the hour of our death, and when it comes to both OJ and -trump-, TSV sees that end of things as the ultimate answer of justice to the immoral society's inability to dispense justice on its own end. So that's why TSV wants -trump- to know that even if he thinks that winning an election will somehow mean that the justice can never hold him accountable because somehow he'll make it that way, sooner or later justice -will- catch up with him, and imprison him within his own body, and ultimately a casket or an urn or the form of ashes. At that point, all the people he wronged can now really take it to him because he will then be defenseless. That's what TSV sees happening to OJ right now. Also where it comes to OJ's health problems in the last few years, TSV also sees one's doctor as the ultimate sentence judge. -trump- can hear -trial- judges say things such as "not guilty" or "I hereby release the defendant because of technicalities" only to hear a -doctor- tell him later on "You have cancer" or "You only have X amount of time to live." TSV acknowledges that no-one can escape the Ultimate Accountability so best to fess up now, say you're wrong, both with -trump- and the Ed Snowden types, and stop this immature beating around the bush at trying to delay -anything.- Nixon at least said at one point, "I was wrong."

Tropical Soulvangelical has made answer to the not-committed voters and their CRG advocates by making a donation to those middle class economics candidates close to Michigan and Minnesota whom TSV has identified as Strong Israel, and informing their campaigns accordingly. In so doing, TSV has started the concept of Strong Biden, or StrongBiden, the spelling being tentative, which he wants to keep going with regardless of how the election turns out. He calls for an end to the Neverbiden Natterings either on the Wednesday after the election or on January 21 of next year, whichever is more appropriate depending on results. This is part of his assurance that the "wrong" person winning won't mean the end of anything. More to the point, TSV has made a stand against the increasing radicalism that was part of the reason why he lost his job 9 years ago. His donations and mails today should stand as reminder that in his conscientious objection of the concept of social amnesia, he will remember for as long as it takes for him to assure the future of the concept of National Principle. This is the main thing he sees in StrongBiden.

Joe Lieberman died, and the name as Tropical Soulvangelical was hearing it on newsradio reminded him of when he started on his journey toward what he currently knows as tropical conservatism. He reminds people to disregard the rhetoric of 2024 as being The Most Important Election Of Our Lifetimes also because the -real- most important election that ever took place was the primary between Lieberman and Lamont, the current governor of Connecticut. That was back in 2006, the year for progressive purism when TSV saw the progressives basically seeing as -their- turn to pull a George W. Bush and tell people they're either with them or against them. Let's also not forget that 2006 was two years after 2004, which was yet -another- Most Important Election Of Our Lifetimes whose moniker TSV observed the progressives totally forgetting about in 2006. He saw the progressives as wanting Ned Lamont to be the Ed Snowden of his time, but he ended up being quite reasonable, and as such is basically a non-political governor that's never garnered controversy. TSV believes that as a result, the progressives are quietly disappointed in never being able to -buy- Lamont, and wussed out in never labeling Lamont as Lieberman Lite for never conforming to the concept of progressive purism. So you had Lieberman-Lamont in 2006, and now you have those various protest groups, including those CRG's TSV's ready within the next week or so to make answer to for trying to essentially take TSV's President away from him. There's nothing in the Constitution that TSV's aware of that says that a private group of sorts can interfere with the citizenship rights of others. TSV needs to remind these groups that not only that it's not about them, but that they have to think about the consequences of their actions as not happening within the political vacuum they seem to think they are. TSV will see them as -astounded- that -anyone- can think that their actions might be seen as interfering with citizenship rights, but TSV would then ask them how far they're willing to go with their activism, and wouldn't they ever consider that -maybe- they're taking things way too far if ordinary citizens aren't all in agreement with their actions or with all their messaging. Again TSV doesn't disagree with them about some sort of cease-fire, but he doesn't think they're all that concerned about Israel's sovereignty like TSV is, and he doesn't think they particularly care that -ordinary citizens- care about such sovereignty and not just politicians, and as such these citizens would regard the protest groups' expectations of others as condescending and patronizing and short-sighted. By the way, TSV sees Trump's appearance at that event regarding that fallen cop as basically saying Please Don't Arrest Me, regardless of the fact that the cop's family had given him an invite.

Here's another thing. Remember last week how Tropical Soulvanglical condemned those CRG's for getting people to vote uncommitted in an apparent attempt to take his President away from him? It's still happening as on Super Tuesday, and TSV believes it's just going to keep on happening regardless of what Biden does or how he does it to get a ceasefire going and help deliver humanitarian aid. But not only does TSV still want this to be his President, but the actions of the radicalists have gotten him on Israel's side, and he's being pushed to that side more and more, and he's not going to allow these CRG's to take away his citizenship rights. He researched at least one district that is a source of the uncommitted votes, but unfortunately that incumbent is running unopposed this year and had gotten 70% of the vote in their last election. So TSV's looking into supporting an incumbent in a neighboring district, same "party" apparently, who's an Israel -supporter-, and he wants to do it for both Michigan and Minnesota at least. But here's the thing. You'll also remember that TSV disagrees that democracy is over if the "wrong" person loses, and hence he does -not- believe that this election is the most important one ever. Instead he's citing 2028 as the most important election ever because he's pretty sure that all other elections after that for all eternity will be useless gestures, because that's when he's sure that the contest would be AOC vs. Nikki Haley for President. He's sure AOC will be at least 35 by then and therefore qualify for that office. Sure we will have the first woman President, but TSV wonders how meaningful that would be if your own party demands that you support someone who at the very least looks the other way when there's radicalism. He's also puzzled by AOC getting accosted by protest groups when he sees her as agreeing more with them than they do with themselves. Also don't forget that once the war is over in Gaza and we do find a way of doing the right thing for the people there, TSV's sure that the now ceasefire proponents will become proponents of Israel no longer being a country and stripping it and its citizens of national sovereignty as compensation for what happened in Gaza. Once that happens, TSV sees AOC as joining in on that proponence as a platform plank, and all other figures that protest that kind of desovereinization will get not-committed votes or some other kind of castigation -as well as citizens who also want to protect Israel-. So TSV asks, you think democracy is in danger now? How about when the protest groups, in the spirit of Ed Snowden, tell ordinary people that they are with them or against them? Imagine losing your job just because you disagree with AOC on Israel or any number of issues? Also once AOC is our next President, not only will Israel be kicked out of its present location, but it'll have to settle for an office building in either downtown Athens or downtown Rome similarly to the Hospitaller Knights Of Malta, along with a smattering of embassies. TSV sees there something seriously wrong when by 2035 the most Israel can be is to be a Hospitaller Knights Of Israel. Of course once that happens, TSV projects the human race to become extinct by 2040. Looks as though we kind of deserve that.

Yesterday Tropical Soulvanglical accidentally left something out when he got to be talking about political deathbed confessions, and that's that he doesn't buy this narrative that the "right" person has to win, otherwise it's "all over" or the "end" of democracy. That's why he says he's got plans depending on what happens. He remembers they said that the "right" person had to win in 2004, and when that "right" person didn't win, it was -not- the end of -anything-, and instead 2006 was an opposite election of sorts. That is, to a fault, because TSV saw that as the start to progressive purism, the effects he sees our suffering from today. Those "not committed" votes, anyone? So he already paid his dues in buying into the whole doomsday narrative, and he's just not going to do it again, frankly no matter what happens. He'll always try to do the right thing, but there's only so far he's going to go, and how far he -should- go.

Again Tropical Soulvangelical heard those likely fake polls on audio regarding the election. One of the previous times he heard them do that was about January when he heard them say, Trump is ahead of Biden within the margin of error. He knows full well that if it's -within the margin of error-, that's a statistical dead heat, so maybe he thinks a presenter is trying to get one in without anyone noticing. Perhaps both campaigns, he's wondering, compete for PR time on audio, but he'd prefer listening to audio first thing in the morning to be about political weather reports objectively done, rather than the account of what someone said about something else. That's why he's not letting that one station go with respect to Libelous 2/10, nearly a month later. But here's the thing. If Trump does win, TSV has plans for that guy, and it's TSV picking up where he left off on January 19 2021 tentatively with respect to both The Great Resistance and Still Not My President. He's not sure what's going to happen with a number of court cases, but there's no way Trump is going to get a get out of free jail card at The Ultimate Court, ultimately the only court that matters, because you-know-who's been watching that guy, and as of this writing TSV's starting to understand nuances of how people get to a political deathbed confession, and that's a subject TSV would be interested to know more about. But to put it as briefly as possible, those who successfully game the system time and time again when countless others serve felony sentences for misdemeanor offenses will eventually feel the pressure of the guilt and anguish they've been holding back, and it's at their worst weakness when they say, I confess that what I did was wrong, and what I said about them was wrong, and that my adversaries were totally right about me being inherently -wrong-. Not only that, but they would also say, I deserve to be punished for what I did so therefore I'm totally at peace with said adversaries posthumously portraying me as serving eternal jail time in the underworld. This TSV is starting understand a bit more about, and he expects to add details to this kind of scenario as time goes on. He may have started thinking about this when Henry Kissinger died, and his adversaries admirably posthumously pronounced him guilty of war crimes. He's also wondering the same about Richard Nixon, even having been pardoned nearly 50 years ago. So he's thinking that once there are posthumous eternal jail time portrayals of both, he's seeing a template of what lies for Trump if the "worst" should ever happen.

Tropical Soulvangelical is adding to his boycott list that one (or more) cultural relations groups in Michigan that are in turn boycotting Biden solely because of his support for Israel, and like with NYC Pride for its anti-cop stance, TSV will never forget the CRGs' actions for years to come. Every time NYC Pride and the CRGs make any announcements about anything at all going forward, TSV will be there to remind both how morally empty their announcements are for being based on outright cynicism. He will especially stick it to the CRGs if they along with the protest groups all get together and -force- Biden to lose, thereby depriving supporters like TSV to be undemocratically deprived of their President and hopes of a quicker National Principle that TSV would be hopeful as pivotal towards teaching our young people right from wrong. Shame on these groups.

Tropical Soulvangelical joins with the solidarity of Ukraine on the second anniversary of the war being done on it. For TSV, though, this also involves taking Chuck Schumer to task for both his Debbie Downer stance and his everything-depends-on-one-thing stance. Just because Vlodimir Zelensky told Schumer that "it's over" if they don't get the Federal aid package TSV doesn't see it making it so. TSV reminds people as per both Scripture and all other lessons of global faiths that hope is inherent to the righteous path. When you know you're on the righteous path, TSV reminds people there will always be hope. And now the Debbie Downer bit. TSV believes that Chuck Schumer saying something to the effect of "if this doesn't work it's over" only helps Mike Johnson, because then TSV sees Mike Johnson as saying, well my thoughts exactly, because I'm trying to make it -not- work so therefore -making- it an over thing. Once Mike Johnson makes this response, TSV doesn't see -anything- changing his mind. No amount of pro-Ukraine/anti-Putin protests outside of any of Mike Johnson's offices TSV sees as swaying him in any capacity, because TSV sees Schumer as giving Johnson the one unbreakable geometric proof he needs to -never- bring any Ukraine relief/aid to the House floor. As a side note, TSV doesn't see any of the protest groups we saw last year like the climate protestors or the Palestine protestors join in with solidarity with Ukraine in any significant fashion that could possibly change Johnson's mind. He'll just say, no, I'm sorry, I'm just not doing it, no matter what anyone says, so just go away already. TSV strongly urges those pledging solidarity with Ukraine to look beyond the Federal aid package and instead look to other options to help Ukraine defeat Putin once and for all. TSV suggests the appropriate charity paths, whichever ones those are, and which have passed verifiable scrutiny. TSV also suggests international action on part of state and local governments, and urges them not to only think about themselves and not just pragmatically, but also convictionally. Where there's a will there's a way, TSV reminds people, and the one thing TSV reminds people as being most at stake with respect to the survival of Ukraine is the moral health of our young people, and having them prefer the righteous path over the path of personal corruption any day.

Tropical Soulvangelical beatifies Alexei Navalny as a true man of principle, and he's not going to wait for any church or house of worship to try to do so. TSV waited a while as the coverage of Navalny's -life- continues, and this is his decision. He just wishes he himself could uphold the concept of principle onto the pain of death like Navalny had, but he thinks he could very well bow out at a given inconvenience against which he has no plan of resistance. He never saw Navalny as ever worrying about that, so he condemns both Trump and Julian Assange's supporters -personally- for using Navalny's name in vain. He stands ready to similarly condemn supporters of that one driver who struck and killed a police officer under the influence of drugs and alcohol, along with an anti-cop ideology. Principle also won in court the day she was sentenced to maximum time in prison.

Tropical Soulvangelical's calling for the complete firing and replacement of the present White House Press Corps over their continuing memory attacks on Biden. He also requests that the current members themselves be subject to the same kind of quizzing about countries and their presidents they want to go after Biden for. TSV's pretty sure they'd fail utterly miserably, to the point of not even remembering that Egypt and Mexico are actual countries, let alone the fact those countries have presidents, let alone who those presidents are. What TSV believed happened was that when Biden laid down the malapropism regarding Egypt's/Mexico's President, some Ed Snowden Smartass member of the Press Corps heckled behind Biden's back as Biden turned from the conference something to the effect of, well you -know- Mr. President that President you just cited happens to be a member of a different country. If malapropism is truly a symptom of failing memory in the elderly, TSV estimates that up to 50% of the entire country -in all age groups- would or should be accused of elderly failing memory. TSV hopes that those who struggle with things like memory or malapropism and their families, friends, neighbors and coworkers tear the entire media industry a new one over the industry's ableism and utterly arbitrary standards as to what constitutes memory problems and what doesn't. Again, TSV asks, how does today's media deserve to wear the moniker of the Fourth Estate? What if Ben Franklin, TSV wonders, went after Tom Jefferson or George Washington over -their- memory problems?

Tropical Soulvangelical's wondering how he could have missed the fact that the vote to try to override Eric Adams's veto on the How Many Stops Act was scheduled for Tuesday 1/30. He thought it was scheduled for Monday 1/29 according to how he listened to newsradio earlier the morning of this latter date. The focus was on how that one councilman was stopped by a cop on his way to an exercise that Eric Adams encouraged the councilpeople to take to ride with the cops to see just what the cops have to do and how they have to do it on a daily basis to drive home the point that How Many Stops -will- at least in TSV's view also present a burden on cops. Subsequently the councilman abruptly decided to not to take part in the exercise solely because he was stopped, and TSV appreciates the fact that the councilman was one of the Exonerated. That said, TSV sees there being unanswered questions about the stop, regardless of what the councilman told newsradio. The conventional thinking is that the cop didn't tell the councilman why he stopped him, but that's not TSV's takeaway from the audio playback from the bodycam footage he heard on newsradio. TSV insists that the cop was going to tell him why he stopped the councilman with respect to the tinted windows of his car, but that the councilman interrupted the cop before the cop could get a word in edgewise. Otherwise the cop would -certainly- have told the councilman that he stopped him because of his tinted windows. TSV's not sure that would have mattered because he's pretty sure the councilman would still take it out on the exercise he was driving to and say, I'm not doing the exercise. TSV's fully expecting that to be the -sole determinant- of the city council successfully overriding Eric Adams's veto, thereby affecting the entirety of all cops everywhere in the city based -solely- on that one incident, and possibly indefinitely going forward without even so much as input from the city residents. Though TSV is an Eric Adams supporter, he encourages the councilman to throw his hat in the ring to challenge the Mayor in next year's election if the councilman believes by conviction that he's in the right in his version of leadership of the city over that of Eric Adams. TSV wants to hear why the councilman believes he's better than the Mayor, because TSV's impression that Eric Adams, whether at 28% or 0% approval, cares more about the city than the city does about itself. Because TSV sees strong leadership as paramount in the city, he wants to hear sincere convictions from those who either disbelieve in strong leadership or don't believe it should be a priority. TSV wants to hear them try to defend humanity's inherent inability to take care of itself, and why you can't have an apparently select few who are the collective shepherd. TSV doesn't want to hear the Ed Snowden types try to play a game of Tu Quo Que as a weak non-argument for why such a shepherd has to be a 'perfect' person. TSV doesn't see such a leader as having to be perfect as much as sincere and pursuing the concept of principle as closely possible, specifically in a world that's apparently forsaken such a righteous path. By the way, TSV doesn't want to keep dumping on the protest groups, because it's like beating a dead horse at this point. But he's faith-restored to hear Biden's supporters drown out the Palestine Protestors trying to crash Biden's write-in victory party in New Hampshire. This victory was against a challenger that TSV sees as progressives seeing as the Ed Snowden candidate trying to tell Biden how he's wrong about everything -almost- as much as Trump wants to do, possibly using the same arguments. Just a little side note.

Happy New Year people, and here's something to give you an idea of how Tropical Soulvangical doesn't forget, and how neither anyone else should do so, even after the war is over. The protests stopped getting talked about shortly after the new year was rung in because they didn't stop the ball-drop. There was apparently unprecedented security. That's not to stay the protests stopped happening, but the sticky side of the protests is not lost on TSV. That's about the antisemitic incident at that school basketball game in Yonkers, and TSV's pretty sure that it probably wouldn't have happened if the protests weren't so culturally dominant. Like with Ed Snowden, TSV saw a relative minority speak out, and yet it's the majority that must consider themselves "wrong" just because they don't swear fealty to the minority. Even worse than that is TSV finding claims that somehow the incident actually didn't occur, which he finds inexplicable, and just as reprehensible as that One Percent Claim we talked about. Everyone was in earshot of any comments that were made, since we're talking about possibly just over 100 people all told, as opposed to an NBA game. TSV's pretty sure that if you play back -any- smartphone recording of the event, you -will- hear actual chants. He's also sure that the high school itself made a recording of the game mainly for the benefit of the local school media for people wanting to keep up on how well their school's teams are doing. TSV's also hoping that the school doesn't try to claim that the incident didn't happen and then get caught having tampered with the recording, and he's also hoping that the protest community didn't put undue pressure on the school to both tamper with the recording and claim the incident didn't happen. He's thinking it's possible that maybe the recording was made with an auto-swear-word-blanking-bleeping system, so slurs and epithets he's pretty sure are included in the list of words that might get auto-bleeped out. So he doesn't think the school should look at a bleeped tape and then say well how can anyone say any slurs when they got bleeped out anyway? He thinks you have to use common sense and say that the slurs -were- there to begin with if they had to get bleeped out. But worst of all is him seeing it being the "progressive" thing to do these days to turn a blind eye to antisemitism of pretty much any kind. Apparently that's what you're expected to do if you believe in things like affordable care and a living wage. He thinks they'll actually make that conflation, and that's because he didn't forget either Ed Snowden or the progressive politics of 2006, or how he previously had to lose a job partly because he didn't swear fealty to either.
