Tropical Soulvangelical got me the Happy Bachelor to post another base share in quick succession after his response to the current Clooneyisms. This one isn't about Clooney, though. It's about the fact that TSV looked back on a road rage incident during the Memorial Day weekend back in 2024, just to show you how he doesn't forget these things, because he doesn't believe in unfinished business, but he never got a chance to talk about it till now. So some guy was tailgating TSV on TSV's way to his shift at Bland Barns along a country road where TSV was observing the speed limit (these types tend to drive out on the road just for the sake of driving and having no real destination, which TSV really doesn't understand). The guy was beeping at him from behind to try to intimidate TSV into breaking the speed limit. TSV refused to budge and the guy passed TSV over a double yellow line. TSV beeped back at him in a stance in favor of principle, but the guy beeped back -back- at TSV in response in that guy's apparent follow of personal corruption. TSV hasn't forgotten and he says right now, he knows you the guy are reading this right now, and commands you to repent for your actions. If you don't, may God have mercy on your soul. TSV remembers how the guy was one of those short guys with rubbery faces who tend to get obsessively involved in politics, often as a profession, but not as an elected figure. And with this past year when people were upset about political violence, TSV's wondering whether this guy reapt what he sowed accordingly. He may not even be with us as a result, but TSV still insists that the guy even -posthumously- read this base share. It was that weekend that another guy passed TSV over a left hand turn going the other way onto the same road, but that other guy was riding a motortrike, some sort of ATV. Only in the personally corrupt West does someone road rage someone else using a vehicle of luxury. Pretty much that entire weekend there were just road ragers all over the place on that road. And now just before the New Year not so much. So TSV's figuring that also in their forsaking of their God, they also wasted their time doing so if they were never going to be in a position to do it again. TSV's thankful that he hasn't been road raged on that particular road, or any other road in the past several months, and he hopes things stay that way. He doesn't buy that it was necessarily drugs, because he thinks they knew full well what they're doing. In their road rage, they were trying to tell him, well why don't you be more like everyone else? That's a fallacy, because "everyone else" wasn't road raging, and would also condemn those people's acts accordingly. Was it a contentious election coming up at the time? That's no excuse either because, again, we're now in hindsight 20/20, and -political- road raging is also a lame fallacy. And them trying to tell TSV that they can't be caught by the cops because there weren't any on the road at the time, so therefore they can do anything they want, also not true. TSV figures that separately when TSV's not on the road or in a position to witness them, they -have- been pulled over, ticketed, and likely even arrested if they were driving with a suspended license for having road raged on people. They should have taken such enforcement as a wakeup call for when they face their God with the same personally corrupt mindset they showed on the road. It's never too late to recant and repent and try to turn your life around. All these rationalizations for road raging on people, all wrong, both on the morals and as logical fallacies.

Tropical Soulvangelical acknowledges at least two George Clooney events that are roughly two weeks apart. Clooney is the one that the rest of The Spirit Of 46 believes is primarily responsible for 7/24. TSV at the time went after Schumer and Schiff, and implicitly distrusts those two figures to this day. So here are the headlines TSV heard on newsradio regarding George Clooney. First was when Clooney said he doesn't want to do kissing scenes in movies anymore, but TSV disbelieves him proverbially. Clooney he's seen as doing a lot of -political- kissing, including trying to give Biden the political kiss of death. The other headline was just today (or yesterday-?) when Clooney said he and his family are moving to the south of France to protect their children from the cell phone cameras of movie fans. But TSV's response is, great, so this guy caused 7/24 and then a year later -abandons- America and hence showing what he thinks about the country. Clooney incidentally TSV includes as one of the Three Stodgies, and that's Trumpy, Bernie and Clooney. How did -Bernie- get on there? I the Happy Bachelor vaguely remember our going after Bernie for being the rescuer type and likely didn't care about what happened to Biden in 7/24 regardless of the temporary respect he had for Biden at the time when the Clooney Donkeys threw away their sense of principle and attacked Biden with the worst of an undemocratic election interference. -trump-, of course, is the ultimate personification of personal corruption, but TSV refuses to bend toward the logical fallacy of If Not One Then The Other in that the Clooney Donkeys going after -trump- don't demonstrate a higher morality authority, and that the Bernie Bros -also- don't show a moral authority in going after the Clooney Donkeys. Only The Spirit Of 46 is the true none-of-the-above philosophy, and TSV wants everyone to know that the more inside of The Spirit Of 46 you are, the closer you are on the righteous path toward principle, away from the scourge of personal corruption.

Seasons Greetings from all of us here at Tropical Soul And Principle. Or perhaps -both- of us, me the Happy Bachelor announcer and Tropical Soulvangelical. We respectfully wanted to wait till after the contemplations of the 25th proper before making commentary. But do you know whom TSV observed doing the same? The sky-is-falling doomsay-distraction-from-anti-Biden-July24 Clooney Donkeys. TSV did not get -even one- text on either the 24th or the 25th. So if he gets any correspondence from now into the New Year about an impending doom of sorts, again he's not suggesting being in denial over it, but if things were truly that dire, why did they say to their respective staffs "enjoy the Holidays?" It's because TSV figures that staff hours at the doomsday offices had the 24th and 25th off. TSV remembers that George Washington and his troops didn't take those days off when they crossed the Delaware to try to turn the tide at the battlefields of Princeton and Trenton. TSV remembers the book of 1776 written by David McCollough and how the portrayal was that it was that year that was the most dire for the country, because the country only had declared independence on 7/4 that year (hence technically not a country till then), and the impression TSV got from reading that book was that most members the continental congress truly weren't absolutely sure that such a declaration was necessarily the right thing to do, because that would have been burning bridges. There's no do-over on that one if they were going to be led the gallows depending on what was going to happen next. But they went ahead with it feeling the undertow despite a plurality of Loyalists in the colonies. As terrible as -trump- is, TSV sees the anti-Biden Cloonies as having difficulty in making the doomsday case if unlike General Washington, they were willing to take off for the Holidays. So, again, TSV figures if they go back to that talking point over the coming year, it's going to come off as disingenuous for him. He also imagines that if he asks them about their roaring silence during the Holidays, they'll likely respond with a word salad, or otherwise a feeble attempt at changing-the-subject-red-herring or some sort of emotional language. TSV isn't going to buy it, either from the Cloonies or the Bernies, and certainly not from the -trumpists-. -Only the Spirit Of 46 upholding the belief in the concept of principle embodied by Biden- TSV regards as the true preventive and antidote to a doomsday scenario. You can't have a true democracy without the concept of principle, otherwise it's just another form of dictatorship, albeit a dictatorship of personal corruption.

It seems to Tropical Soulvangelical that everyone living in Tropical Blue State has already forgotten we had a snowstorm over the weekend. So TSV also wants to remind people of what Eric Adams said just before the storm happened. He advised against going out during the storm and instead stay inside with some hot chocolate. The problem is, Eric Adams is inherently guilty of corruption and bribery and effectively inherently pleaded guilty when he pulled out of the past race. So TSV doesn't think Adams has any business advising anyone to do anything, no matter how much sense it makes. By that logic TSV's expecting reports coming out about there being more traffic snow accidents in New York City during this storm than in storms past, because those involved had decided they're not going to take the advice of an inherently guilty Mayor, and that they're going to get into whatever accidents they want, just to spite him. TSV doesn't recommend that now that the storm is over that people necessarily go out right now and get into accidents, just that he understands if people refuse to give an inherently guilty Mayor "authority" by refusing to take his advice on things.

Tropical Soulvangelical's not sure anybody remembers at this point, but it was only a few days ago that newsradio talked about an interview that Eric Adams had on TV, where he apparently talked about everything -except- being charged with corruption and accepting bribes. TSV doesn't forget about such things, and he declares, once again, that in exiting the past mayor's race, Eric Adams has effectively pleaded -inherently guilty- of corruption, and TSV will always see Eric Adams as corruption-guilty from here on out. TSV doesn't care about the vagaries of the justice system in this case, because TSV along with the people are our own justice system. When it comes to public figures, TSV sees due process as a two-way street, in that -the people- serving as subjects of said public figures also have a right to due process. TSV wishes they said all this in the Federalist Papers when it comes to due process rights in criminal cases. TSV figures they would have gotten around to it eventually if the authors didn't die all of a sudden or something. TSV's wondering whether the Federalist Papers couldn't have been added onto even after the US declared independence and after the Constitution had gotten written. Maybe now -we the people- can all add onto the Federalist Papers collectively via -responsible- social media, not endless unhealthful Tic Toc challenges. Add this onto what TSV said about the people having the inherent right themselves to reverse a corrupt pardon. God almost certainly did so in the case of at least those 10 insurrectionists, and certainly half of everybody else involved in 1/6.

Tropical Soulvangelical wants to talk about "fatalism" again. This is a behavior that elements of the larger culture -outside- tropical soul calls bleeding heartedness. TSV sees it increasing but for all the wrong reasons in the mid-2020s (but TSV is led to believe will decrease in the early 2030s or so as -trump- goes away and the practice becomes less fashionable). Fatalism TSV sees as thriving in credibility or support when you cannot immediately disprove the fatalism rationally, but now he sees it breaking down. He references the YouTube channel Hit Pause, which is a channel he keeps close at hand, because it addresses instances of misinformation TSV had to research on his own in the late 2010s against the vagaries of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking with the use of the book author web site logicallyfallacious.com. As of me the Happy Bachelor writing this, TSV hasn't checked again whether that physical site is still there, but he finds that info on the logical fallacies outlined in the site is readily available elsewhere. In a sense, TSV was ahead of his time in 2018 as he was effectively disproving the credibility of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking, because many things he outlined found themselves in Hit Pause's videos. The one topic in Hit Pause TSV deems relevant to the practice of fatalism is something called Emotional Language, and TSV saw that being replete in at least a couple areas on YouTube, the home base for Hit Pause. Firstly was when TSV tuned into a video making it clear that -trump- does not have the ability to "cancel" a pardon made by Biden or a previous President. The video turned to the subject of -trump's- pardons, and TSV saw fatalism just about running amok. He saw the claim that -only elections- can bring a sense of justice, and while he thinks elections are a pretty good mechanism for things, and of course are what democracy is generally about, the presumption is that the video didn't have to prove their "only elections" point as much as you as the viewer had to -disprove- that point, which TSV did, but that the actual act of disproof itself is a form of personal denial. They didn't actually -use- the word denial but TSV's sure they would have certainly done so, and it would very reasonably fall under the Hit Pause rubric of Emotional Language. One of TSV's takeaways from logicallyfallacious.com back in 2018 is that logical fallacies become the vehicle of choice when their user doesn't believe they can make a substantive reasoned argument in favor of their point. So with that in mind, TSV wonders, what was that video so afraid of that it had to resort to the Emotional Language of fatalism? This is where TSV tunes into his alternative point regarding the -trump pardons-, particularly those of the 1/6 rioters. The presumption in the video is that -only elections- can deliver a sense of karma to the personally corrupt, but God has already cast His Vote when reporting showed 10 of the rioters back in court again on separate and unrelated felony charges that they got convicted on, and which leads TSV to believe that roughly half of the rioters found themselves in a similar situation unreported. It's clear to TSV that when the 1/6 rioters accepted -trump's pardon- they were effectively accepting the guarantee of further jail time that -trump- can't and won't pardon them for, so, no, they did -not- walk as is the ultimate intention of pardons. It should have been about admission of guilt as per the 1910 court precedent but instead it's culturally evolved into a form of personally corrupt revenge, read, "revenge travel", against those of one's critics who walk in the divine path towards principle. That's why TSV sees people being upset by the -trump pardons- much more he observes they should be. TSV asks the fatalists if they want advice from him, and course they're going to say no, but the more fatalistic they get about all issues -trump-, the more it helps -trump- politically, and in the age of the Epstein Files TSV sees it as the one thing that keeps -trump- physically alive, and that's his perverted satisfaction that he's getting under his critics' skins. It's his "infusion" that you see his hands being bruised with. Not so with the more apparently more immune TSV as you've read about thus far. The other fatalism TSV immediately outlines was the video title You're Not Worried Enough About Sea Level Rise. In terms of essential emotionality, therapists have long made the case that getting worried about something does not psychokinetically cause the thing you're worried about to magically go away, but TSV asks people not to misunderstand. TSV isn't casting aspersions on the topic of sea level rise per se, but he questions the use of Emotional Language because, again, if they believed they had a strong enough case that by itself was sufficient, they would not have resorted to the use of Emotional Language. Again, what were they afraid of from their audience? TSV wonders if they were afraid of being ignored or the issue of sea level rise being ignored if they didn't use Emotional Language, but the results were the opposite of what they wanted to achieve. TSV hit the option of Not Interested also because the video came from a channel he does not have a subscription for and which he decided to not subscribe to when he saw their videos page. But he did sense the guilt trip of, well if you hit Not Interested on our video, that means you really don't care and you're in total denial. Again, that's the presumption and it's what he sees the larger personally corrupt culture to ultimately be about, and that's this notion that only the larger culture can have authoritative universal knowledge of absolutely -everything-, whereas it's its subjects that -have- to accept what the larger culture says at face value for being ignorant and not having the authority to reject the personally corrupt presumptuousness of the personally corrupt larger culture. But do you know what's above and superior and more authoritative than the personlly corrupt larger culture? It's God Himself. In the movie Oh God, TSV sees it being for a very good reason that John Denver's character says the following towards the end of the movie: we've already heard from the highest court.
