TMI Show Ep 196: “Animals Gone Wild”

Animals are all over the news on today’s wild episode of “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan.” First, though, we have to deal with the most dangerous animal of all: Man! Well, one man in particular: our wild and crazy president.

Donald Trump, always up to something crazy, is threatening to remove Washington DC’s local government unless the crime-ridden city doesn’t crack down on young thugs. Brazen attacks, muggings, and shootings are increasingly common in the nation’s capital. Now, for Trump, it’s personal!

A brutal assault against Edward Coristine, the notorious 19-year-old former DOGE staffer with the dignified nicknmame “Big Balls,” who was beaten bloody by a mob of 10 juveniles while trying to thwart a carjacking near downtown at 3 a.m. Sunday. Coristine heroically protected his partner (nickname unknown), but only two 15-year-old suspects were nabbed, fueling Trump’s outrage since he hasn’t had much to say about the genocide he’s supporting overseas. Despite D.C.’s 26% drop in violent crime, the incident is sparking calls to federalize the city, with ex-DOGEr Elon Musk backing Trump.

Now for the animals:

• Israel Genocides Crocodiles: Israel killed 200 Nile crocodiles at a neglected West Bank farm, citing croco-cannibalism and human safety after years of poor conditions. Animal rights groups cry foul. The farm’s owner insists the slaughtered reptiles were healthy, unlike starving Gazans.

• Radioactive Rhinos: South Africa’s Rhisotope Project injects rhino horns with radioactive isotopes to deter poachers, making them detectable at borders. With only 27,000 rhinos left, it’s a game-changer. Tests claim no harm to the rhinos.

• Alligator Alcatraz Faces Closure: Florida’s brutal “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center faces closure, not due to human rights or common decency, but due to environmental violations about Everglades wildlife. Builders skipped environmental impact studies—the fools!

• Night Owls Be Smarter: Good news for Hunter Biden! A British study suggests late-night lifestyles may outshine those of early risers in mental acuity, but—bad news for Hunter—sleep duration (7–9 hours) matters more. Critics question missing factors like education.
