“The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan” asks: Is there a limit to how much Trump will suck up to his Israeli masters? So far, there’s no sign of any limits.
Now Trump is denying FEMA grants to states and cities that boycott business with companies based in the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. Never mind innocent disaster victims, says Trump—Israel comes first. So he’s withholding $1.9 billion for search-and-rescue gear, emergency manager salaries, and backup power systems—as we saw recently in the Texas Hill Country flash floods, critical items for disaster response. The Department of Homeland Security is enforcing strict “terms and conditions” requiring that all American governments do business with Israel. It’s fascist—but is it just fascist symbolic posturing? With no states and only a few cities like Richmond, Calif., enacting such boycotts, the policy’s actual impact is minimal, as hurricane season ramps up with Tropical Storm Dexter swirling.
Meanwhile, former top Israeli officials warn Israel has lost the Gaza War to Hamas while Bibi threatens to occupy 100% of the Strip for full ethnic cleansing!

• Zoo Wants Your Cats and Dogs as Food: Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is asking folks to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed its predators, like tigers. They say it mimics the natural food chain, ensuring animal welfare with euthanized “whole prey.” Donations are accepted weekdays, limited to four animals at a time. Bye, bye, Fido!
• Harvard Shakedown: Harvard gets ready to pay $500M to Trump over phony “anti-Semitism” stories, but feels cheated since Brown University only has to pay $50M. Harvard officials are frustrated, fearing the high cost makes them look like surrender monkeys. (It does.)
• Confederate Statue Returns: The National Park Service is restoring a pro-slavery Confederate general’s statue to D.C., toppled in 2020 during racial justice protests. The statue, vandalized after George Floyd’s death, will be reinstalled by October thanks to Trump. Dog whistles ahoy!
