Here's some food for thought Tropical Soulvangelical has for people if we truly think we're fighting the good fight. It's about that often paraphrased passage by Joseph Neimoller, but here's how TSV reframes it. A couple of playground bullies are carrying a nerd to a garbage can. On his way to the garbage can, the nerd says out loud, "First they came for this one group and I didn't speak out. Then they came for another group and I didn't speak out." As the bullies are tipping the nerd into the garbage can, the nerd says, "And then they came for me..." Then the bullies walk away from the garbage can with the nerd's feet sticking out of the top and you hear his voice resonate from within the can saying, "...and there was no one left to speak for me." As the bullies still keep walking away, one bully says to the other, "I think he doth protest too much." So TSV's point is that if you really hold the values of faith and principle near and dear, you've got to find a way of doing much better than that. He doesn't remember either Gandhi or MLK paraphrasing Neimoller at opportune moments. That's because he's observed that they found a way of fighting back, and accordingly did away with wasting time with the Neimoller references.

Tropical Soulvangelical contacted Joe Biden via his activist social media to send him wishes for a good recovery. Now that TSV figures that's out of the way, he wants to make clear that even though Biden's been diagnosed with cancer, TSV -will not- let up on the Bidenhaters. In fact, he's pretty sure that the haters' stance was, "why didn't Biden tell us this earlier!? He -lied- to us!!!" TSV's impression that -trump- and -some trumpists- at least were relatively more gracious, but not so much the mob racket that the Donkey central party's become. He just happened past a Kamala Harris mail, and it's just inexplicable to him that not only has she -not- yet established a PAC to help get worthy candidates into office, he's seen continued capitulation to the hatefully two-faced Donkey Committee. He also happened past an email from the Congress Committee supposedly saying, "We're done, TSV." His response is that sure you're -definitely- done if the central party keeps on attacking Biden even after getting a cancer diagnosis, obstensibly showing lack of the real kind of empathy that Biden has shown -your- members when -they- were faced with a difficult health diagnosis. So, no, TSV is -not- falling into the empathy trap that the central office is laying out for Biden supporters like TSV, Ms. Mensch and Mr. Jackson among others. TSV's aware of the political trope of the well-wishing political cease fire, but he's not buying it. The Bidenhaters will want Biden's supporters to "show mercy" to -them- while the haters take full advantage and go after both Biden -and his supporters- in the latter's silence. TSV only heard announcement of Biden's diagnosis early this morning so TSV's thinking that the announcement had just come out while we were doing our last base share, but that we hadn't heard it yet. But -should- we take back anything we said in that base share just for the sake of appearing more "appropriate?" With the above, TSV has decided -no-, absolutely not. So TSV's pause to wish Biden well he's made as brief as possible, before he gets back to the task of helping the country reclaim its soul through the values of faith, principle and righteousness, regardless of whether there's a D or an E (elephant) after any given figure's name.

Tropical Soulvangelical wants to give his own update on where he's at on fighting the Bidenhaters. When that Jake Tapper book came out, he said to himself he knows what he needs to say on his activist social media and whom to say it to in terms of "I urge you to do X." Even though he kind of knows of people here and there also opposed to the Bidenhaters, he was pretty sure there's nothing organized going. And then he just happened to stumble on Louise Mensch's feed where she was more or less saying the same things in pushback to the Tapper book that TSV was about to. Another ally she cited was Chris D. Jackson whom TSV believes might be a sitting member of Congress. He was really faith restored when he saw all that, and it does get to the value of the truth and how that value brings people out as part of their duty to God, even if they consider themselves heathen. So TSV went after David Axelrod and Jake Tapper and Jake Tapper's coauthor. One small difference TSV has from Ms. Mensch and Mr. Jackson is that TSV takes the Bidenhating just as seriously as -trump's- attacks on the country. TSV doesn't see it as a mere silly indulgence on the part of the central Donkeys' party. That's because as far as TSV's concerned, the attacks on Biden and the attacks on the country are, in fact, one and the same. They are the same conflict, so while lines are redelineating in ways TSV hasn't seen the end of yet, he's seen Pete Buttigieg getting promoted as a "possible candidate" in 2028. The guy seems likeable enough, but TSV doesn't know where Mr. Buttigieg stands on the War On Biden, but he suspects that the central party wants to give Mr. Buttigieg an offer he can't refuse if he hopes to get support from said central party. It would not surprise TSV in the least if one of those "I'd like you to do me a favor though" favors is either supporting the War On Biden or looking the other way. This, despite the fact that TSV sees there coming a point where it'll be impossible to ignore and all players for '28 will -have- to pick sides. One possible player that -nobody's- been talking about TSV observes is just going to sound ludicrous. But that player TSV's thinking about might be Taylor Swift. He'll verify that she was born in the country, and surely by the time '28 rolls around she'll be over 35. She certainly has an interesting can-do resume which TSV sees as just flying circles around the putzcakes TSV sees as dipping their toes in the water like Bernie or Pritzker or Slotkin or the Connecticut Attorney General. After all, everyone thought -trump- was ludicrous when he "came down the escalator," but in the case of Taylor Swift, TSV thinks she will "go up the escalator" if she intends to announce in '27 or so. She probably doesn't need the backing of the Bidenhating central party, and as an outsider she may very well in fact tell the Bidenhaters to go jump in the lake with their War On Biden. This TSV thinks may actually surprisingly turn out more people to make a difference other than just the cushy suburbanite types that TSV thinks the central party has convinced that Biden is somehow the bogeyman. Keep it tuned, because TSV thinks it may very well get really interesting sooner than you might think.

As Tropical Soulvangelical forecast, the Donkeys' Bidenhaters are coming after Biden just shortly after TSV watched that View installment online, and the mask is starting to drop. So among other things, TSV wants to go after David Axelrod for his weathering character attack which TSV heard on a turned down NPR bulletin (because partly because of NPR being on his watch list, he doesn't trust what NPR says unless it actually makes sense). TSV has many options at his disposal but he's not going to tell me the Happy Bachelor to tell you what they are until he's done them, but it'll be in the foreseeable future. But among other things, TSV recommends against -any- campaign hiring Axelrod's services in any manner whatsoever. But in addition to Axelrod, apparently a book has come out against Biden cowritten by Jake Tapper, and as such, TSV calls for Jake Tapper to be taken off CNN like Chris Cuomo was, and that his cowriter be similarly disciplined through boycott accordingly. That cowriter apparently is associated with Axios, which TSV will add to his outlets' watch list, because they tried to discourage funding sources from getting in touch with Biden's office to get funding set up for a Presidential Library by trying to tell people he's having "difficulty" in getting said sources, and hoping for a self-fulfilling prophecy accordingly. TSV also calls for the boycott of the publisher that wrote said book, or what TSV considers, -libelous claptrap-. NPR for all its faults, TSV observes, did report that Biden's office said that the writers/publishers -did not- furnish the 46th President with a copy so his office can do appropriate fact checks, and here's another prediction TSV wants to make. He thinks the Bidenhaters will claim they did furnish Biden's office with a copy, and say so in a very -trumpist- manner, and this is where he's seeing the mask drop. He's criticized the Bidenhaters as being Trump Lite, and each and every single day they reveal themselves accordingly. He's told people since Wednesday November 6 that the War On Biden still continues regardless of whether or not you hear anything on the Biden front, and the situation with this new book and Axelrod's comments confirm to TSV that this is the case, and he expects more evidence to come out that the wrong is on the Bidenhaters' side and not Biden himself. TSV also predicts there will come a point, time frame undetermined as of yet, when he'll be able to legitimately tell the Bidenhaters, go join the -trumpists- already, and stop wasting our time.

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.
