Tropical Soulvangelical finds it hard to believe that the Congressional vote to release the Epstein files is necessarily going to matter all that much. He hears them getting excited over it on newsradio, but it appears a foregone conclusion to him that -trump- will rationalize not releasing the files on the basis of national security or there being an ongoing investigation into whether Epstein helped Bill Clinton attack children perhaps. TSV sees this time and time again. Oh there's X-gate involving -trump-! -trump- is going down! The walls are closing in on him! And then something else happens that causes both politicians and the populace to forget such a thing has happened until TSV comes back and says, oh by the way, what about that scandal back in April? -What- scandal back in April? You know, the one where everyone was declaring that -trump- was going down and he's still there six months later. So TSV's wondering that if -trump- being convicted on 34 criminal counts didn't stop him from being reelected, why would the Epstein files necessarily end his Presidency? TSV's aware of a potential Donkey target dismissing -trump's- investigation into Donkeys that attack children as a distraction of sorts, and he doesn't think -trump's- really helping himself by not responding to such a charge by saying something to the effect of, I still think we need to investigate Donkeys that attack children regardless of this other person's comment. Instead -trump- goes and verbally attacks reporters asking him other questions like that one reporter from ABC and that other one he called "piggy." That sort of thing TSV doesn't think, to kind of be a devil's advocate about it, that sort of conduct is conducive to an investigation into Donkeys that attack children and if it turns out they did, how that somehow automatically exonerates -trump- from having done so. -trump's- present day actions TSV sees as politically shooting himself in the foot. That said, TSV sees -trump- still being there till 1/19/29, though TSV does not see -trump- getting an impossible third term. 2024 was a Florida Man Election from the point of view of people voting for -trump- in order for them to avoid having to face their own shortcomings by declaring, I can do anything I want, and I can do it as stupidly as I want like one Florida Man did that TSV heard about on newsradio. This is why TSV keeps up on Florida Man that he's pretty sure the intellectualist media never meaningfully does. This was a guy who tried to hold up a gas station using the finger-in-the-pocket-looking-like-a-gun trick, and the gas station held up a -real- gun in self-defense, scaring the suspect away and for that suspect to be subsequently arrested. Seemingly unrelated though not really, TSV wished Joe Biden a prelated Happy Birthday (today was the 19th, Joe Biden blows out the candles on the 20th). This time TSV left the current politics out of his birthday wishes but starting on the 21st or so, TSV will pick up where he left off in heralding the Spirit Of 46 in preaching that the populace follow the path towards principle, and reject the mentality of I Can Do Anything I Want, I Can Be As Stupid As I Want For No Particular Reason, I Can Try To Stupidly Hold Up A Gas Station With A Finger-in-the-pocket-looking-like-a-gun Trick That No-one Buys For A Second. So that's TSV's own gift to 46 to also make available to the populace. He's doing the populace a favor that way.

Now that the government shutdown is over (remember the shutdown-?, feels so long ago now), Tropical Soulvangelical wants to announce that he has "fired" both Colbert and the BBC partly for their biased appeasements leading up to and through the shutdown. After he was shocked and upset about Colbert being cancelled as of next May, it was shortly after that in interviews like with Jean Marie Pierre that he said he supported the apparently undemocratic coup ouster of Biden in 2024, so then TSV figured that he'd only be getting the rip-on-trump satisfaction of things via Colbert, and would still have to search for a podcast or something else to get the satisfaction of the Spirit Of 46. He's still looking. And then after the shutdown came to an end he glanced at both Colbert's and Kimmel's video thumbnails about how they thought that those Donkeys that voted to end the shutdown somehow "caved." (TSV's keeping Kimmel on on a "probationary" basis). TSV thought that was a biased appeasement of the ABCD line, the Anti-Biden Central Donkey line, and also didn't buy the notion that nothing was gained from the supposed cave. For what it's worth, you -do- get a vote on the extended subsidies, but TSV also found out that even though his premiums are going up next year like pretty much everyone else's, he -wasn't- affected by the debate over extended subsidies after all. He determined that that debate had to do with salaries -above- 400% of the poverty line with respect to a measure that -Biden- (btw) signed into law around 2022 and not about salaries -within- 400% (because TSV is so dirt poor, because he just doesn't "work hard enough" to earn a six figure salary) with respect to default subsidies via Funny Named Care. Nevertheless TSV also has determined that the ABCDs spun a conflation of both above-400% and within-400% trying to make people believe they're both one and the same, for the sake of "scaring" people into supporting a logically fallacious ABCD line of things. TSV will look at his premium notices in the months to come, but he's willing to wager that he's more right in his research than the ABCDs are in their spin. And of course he sees it as consciousness of guilt on the ABCDs' part that they can't deal with and instead use deflection and diversion from what they did to Biden in 7/24 when TSV figured, again, they can solve 90% of their internal strife by admitting wrongdoing and trying to make amends. The reason why TSV fired the BBC is because in reporting the deal to end the shutdown, it occurred to TSV that all the BBC was doing was reading headlines from the US press (in this case, the Attack Dog News Network) rather than doing their own original reporting like they used to. So where international headlines go, TSV has elected to follow the World page on the PNG National newspaper web site. Those use Reuters and AP sources, but among other things it gives TSV insight as to which headlines about the US PNG feels are important and which ones they don't. It looks as though PNG'ans are aware who Gavin Newsom is, but may not have heard of Bernie. TSV was hoping that Glenn Kirshner would talk about -trump- getting Pam Bondi to look into -Donkeys- who are associated with Jeffrey Epstein like Bill Clinton for example, because TSV would hope that someone else other than just him would point out an apparent logical fallacy. Sure it's classic diversion (ABCD kind of knows about that one), but -trump's- trying to tell people that if there are any -Donkeys- who might have attacked children through Jeffrey Epstein, that somehow automatically means -trump- himself is innocent. It's like Al Capone trying to get a get out of free jail card by pointing out in court how Elliot Ness got a parking ticket. There's the possibility of both -trump- -and- Bill Clinton getting implicated. One person getting implicated does not automatically exonerate the other person, but -trump- wants people to believe otherwise. But right now -only TSV can see through the fog-. He believes that since no-one else has pointed out the fallacy, they're automatically being swayed by it. In a larger society oriented by the scourge of personal corruption, TSV sees people just outright buying logical fallacies at face value, because why wouldn't they? Whereas if we all followed the righteous path towards principle, we would be more critically thinking. But TSV is only one of only 144,877 people or so making an effort to stay on the righteous path.

Tropical Soulvangelical extends his congratulations to Mikie Sherrill for becoming Tropical Blue State's (as he currently calls it) next governor. This of course despite TSV's observations of Ms. Sherrill effectively -killing- her campaign with her ongoing anti-Biden stance for -never- having apologized for her part in 7/24. If it weren't for that, TSV projects she would have won with perhaps 1.5 million rather than a measly 1.2 million, keeping in mind that TBS has a population of 9 million people. TSV's math is that we saw a turnout of roughly 3 million, which is just one third of the state's population. Perhaps she could have won with far more because a sincerely contrite expression of desire to make amends for the Spirit Of 46 would have, by TSV's estimate, turned out -5 million more voters- to her side. But TSV will take what he can get, and you probably have guessed from the tone of this base share that TSV voted against both Ms. Sherrill and Mr. Ciatarrelli and did a Spirit Of 46 Personal Choice. His vote did not cause Mikie Sherrill to lose, which he's relieved by, but concerned that Ms. Sherrill will never learn from her political mistakes. TSV projects that on day 101 of Mikie Sherrill's governorship he will call for snap primaries because he thinks it's -highly unlikely- that Ms. Sherrill will ever make amends for Biden supporters by that time, but instead finding all sorts of state business, particularly economically relevant stuff, she can use to divert from the bad press of what she helped do to Biden. TSV noticed that it was -Obama- that came out for Sherrill and not Biden, because he doesn't think anyone ever -considered- asking Biden to help out, and that's because he thinks they think that Biden would somehow refuse. On the contrary, TSV notices that Biden often lives the Catholic notion of turning the other cheek, which is why TSV notices Biden only expressing disappointment over 7/24 when being asked about it, whereas those with the Spirit Of 46 like TSV still harbor justified anger and resentment toward the Central Donkeys, and TSV also views Bernie as part of that fray, not buying Bernie trying to claim anything to the contrary. Though Bernie did at least demonstrate -the optics- of opposing 7/24, TSV thinks that was just Bernie playing rescuer, because TSV has never gotten sincere signals from Bernie's office in joining with the Spirit Of 46 like he's seen with Chris D. Jackson, Louise Mensch, Karine Jean Pierre and Jaime Harrison to a certain degree. TSV wishes that Mr. Harrison's podcast be more about the Spirit Of 46 and less about just generic policy discussions, including, inexplicably, the -ongoing insistence- that the problem with the Supreme Court can somehow be solved with just throwing more justices on the Court rather than getting back to the basics of Federalist Paper 78's decree that it's the -citizens- (or rather God as TSV points out) that are the True Supreme Court, and what we call the so-called supreme court should really known as something to the effect of the Federal Central Court. But TSV also extends congratulations to Mr. Mamdani and to Ms. Spanberger, and puts -trump- on notice not to try to send troops into NYC or TBS or VA just because he doesn't like the election results. TSV will be there at the border along with the Spirit Of 46 to present citizens' orders to troops to turn around back to their respective barracks. This TSV is aware the alarmist anti-Biden central Donkeys would never do, except in the form of ineffective press conferences.

Tropical Soulvangelical was watching a video on the Soviet Union when they talked about Stalin's agri-czar who caused a famine that caused the deaths of millions, and apparently died at a ripe old age without ever answering for what he's done. That is, until now. The great judgment follows certain people well beyond the grave who've never had to answer for anything in life. As a result, TSV has gotten wind of the penalty of judgment against the agri-czar for which said agri-czar can never gain parole from. The agri-czar will now suffer the consequences of his actions for all eternity. We read that only God can judge. All that TSV can humbly do is hold up a mirror to said agri-czar. Judgment in history has also been passed on the Soviet Union because just in case anyone hasn't noticed, there is no Soviet Union anymore (even if someone like Putin wants there still to be one). Both penalties are far more severe than what either entity would have endured in the mortal world even if there were functioning court systems. The people who died, on the other hand, TSV has gotten wind of their elevation as holy martyrs. The decree in that prayer to save them from the fires of hell, and bring their souls to heaven because they are especially in need of divine mercy, TSV has gotten wind that that's been fulfilled. This brings us to that moment from over two weeks ago that -trump- made the stunning admission, apparently unsolicited, that he's not going to heaven. This was in response to a question on Air Force One as -trump- was flying back from Israel after what media via newsradio called a "peace" deal (though they all knew that technically it was a -ceasefire- deal). They asked him whether he expected to gain anything personally from the ceasefire deal, and then for whatever reason he said something to the effect of, well if you're asking me if I expect to get to heaven, then no I don't expect to get to heaven. TSV wonders whether Caroline Levitt was asked about that answer, and whether her response was something to the effect of, well he was answering a question specifically in response to being able to get to heaven via the ceasefire deal, not about being able to get to heaven, period. But TSV has never heard such a thing, so to him it appears as though -trump- has accepted the ultimate judgment of eternal forsakenness compared to which him ever spending time at Rikers Island could be compared to a so-called Swedish prison. TSV wants the personally corrupt and faithless to understand that hell is a jail with the devil as your jail warden. As such, the personally corrupt always claim that "hell's afraid I might take over, because once I die I will take over hell," but that's a really big presumption for the mere mortal, because the devil is far more supernatural than the mere mortal. Maybe TSV's thinking that -trump- thinks he can cut a deal with the devil, which of course the devil will renege on immediately and -trump- will suffer eternal consequences accordingly. You could say it takes one to know one, and this whole bit of "hell knows I'm taking over" is really just another way of saying "hell's taking -me- over." Again this isn't -judgment- on TSV's part, because again it's not for him to judge. TSV's just making an observation which he's under a spiritual obligation to make for the sake of soul. He'd be concerned otherwise if never made this observation, and if I the Happy Bachelor didn't support him doing so by making this base share. So as a result, TSV is considerably more satisfied with respect to the morality of young people (and still concerned) than he sees modern day activists as being, particularly those Central Donkeys predicting doom and gloom as a distraction from their -own- moral transgressions in trying to pass divine judgment on Biden as mere mortals. This is the great unfinished business. Until they finally apologize and express sincere contriteness and inherent wrongness for their judgments against Biden starting in 7/24 and beg to make amends to Biden's family and supporters, they cannot hope to rejoin TSV on the road towards principle.
