Tropical Soulvangelical tuned in on YouTube to the Biden Installment with The View with great interest. TSV's general takeaway is to continue going after the Donkeys' Bidenhaters via the primaries, but he wants to obtain a transcript so he can parse what Biden said on the installment per chapter and verse for any other important messages. But never at any time did he hear any implications or overt directives that he discontinue the good fight in favor of faith, principle and righteousness. He does express concern with one View member spinning off with her own reflections on the Biden Installment, and he really doesn't want to watch that particular video for a number of reasons. One main reason is that TSV's pretty sure the Bidenhater Media's not done with him. The View member's name TSV associates somewhat loosely with NPR, which is one outlet TSV has seen has never given Biden the time of day, and he's pretty sure they want to go after him even as a private citizen. He's sure they're concerned enough about the Biden Installment to try to themselves install at least one seat on the View accordingly. The other two hater outlets that TSV had listed here on this shares base back in last October or so were NYT and AP. Biden says he's writing a book, and once it's released TSV's sure the hater outlets will dismiss each and every thing Biden writes in it, particularly the reflection on values which TSV has observed the three hater outlets as not cherishing, let alone a modicum of journalistic integrity. So again TSV muses, how can the hater outlets really make a case for freedom of the press amidst the threats to democracy Trump poses when the outlets themselves aren't keeping up their end of the bargain in setting aside their anti-Biden biases -just once???-

By now you've likely heard about how the Trumpists are going after newly emerged Pope Leo XIV because the Pope's taken positions on things like compassion and immigration that the Trumpists don't agree with. Tropical Soulvangelical sees these attacks on the Pope as blasphemous and inherently heathen, and accordingly wishes and hopes that God have mercy on their souls. That being said, TSV expresses his own disappointments with the Pope in that apparently all he -ever- said in his introductory speech was about those topics that are otherwise important and in line with Catholic teachings, but that he left out things that just because almost no-one else but TSV is talking about them people in general think those things aren't important enough. TSV didn't hear the Pope reflect on the values of faith, principle and righteousness. Sure things like faith and righteousness are -implied- by the Pope's position even existing, but TSV was truly listening for the phrase "faith, principle and righteousness," -verbatim.- TSV also reflects on how older generations while he was growing up were trying to cushy-prevent him and his generation from dating properly supposedly because of the issues of teen pregnancy, AIDS and having to be married in your 20s before you were ever given a chance to date properly. Now he sees that almost no-one says that about -any- young people after TSV's generation, and it's time that they did. TSV wants the Pope and others to essentially cush Gens Y and Z with respect to the dangers of both dating sites and questionable offline venues. He wants the Pope and others to address the repleteness of predators and traffickers on those more adventuresome dating sites that are not geared towards helping young people toward long-term committed relationships. He wants the Pope and others to address offline venues' tendencies to flout the law and associate themselves with elements of organized crime to the point where the venues make an implicit deal with the young people coming in to look the other way if they ever see something morally wrong at the venues. Maybe 5-10 years from now this new Pope will eventually do that, but the fact that TSV didn't hear him talk about it now makes those concerns seem low priority.

Tropical Soulvangelical doesn't believe ICE has a proper certificate of occupancy or a permit to operate a makeshift jail in Newark just a proverbial baseball throw's from where TSV's getting me the Happy Bachelor to write this base share. TSV read his congresswoman's social media feed in which she described being rudely shoved while Newark's mayor was being arrested, and TSV was wondering why there wasn't a cop war where Newark's own cops and the mayor's own security place ICE's own cops under arrest for false imprisonment. That's why TSV gets the impression that the NYC demonstration that took place a couple days after where a young protestor was paraphrasing Joseph Neimoller just simply plays into ICE's side of the debate. ICE's own reps in the media angrily insisted that they -do- have a certificate of occupancy, but TSV asks why don't they just show it already? Better yet, show the mayor and his staff a copy upon request at the makeshift facility so that nothing ever had to come to a possibly avoidable confrontation. ICE's own threats to protestors not to "cross the line" TSV hopes makes it into a court brief challenging ICE's presence in Newark as evidence of inherent illegality, because again they could have presented the proper documentation instead of set of threats that just simply turn the wheel and make additional protests necessary.
