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.
