[R]ecounted how, on two occasions, he had somehow found himself being moved, by forces beyond his control, dozens of miles from two different starting points in Georgia.

“Teleporting is no fun,” he said on the podcast “Onward,” which is hosted by a conservative activist.

“The word ‘teleportation’ was not mine,” Mr. Phillips wrote. “It was used by someone else in the conversation reaching for language to describe something with no easy name. The more accurate biblical terms are ‘translated’ or ‘transported’ — not new ideas for people of faith.”

    When I lived in Florida, I used to teleport to Waffle House all the time, too. Usually it happened shortly after someone decided we should switch from weed and beer to weed and whiskey.

      If you listen to his story, he was driving and talking to his family who seemed to be worried about him in the moment for undisclosed reasons during the phone call…

      And the next thing he remembered was calling his family from a Waffle House and they were even more scared…

      99.99% he was wasted driving somewhere, blacked out and stopped answering his phone, family assumed he wrecked or got pulled over, but then found out he drove to a waffle house 50 miles away, which might have just been the area he was drinking in.

      But with people like this, you can’t tell them they’re wrong because they’ll never admit.

      So the family just let him say it, he started really believing that’s what happened, and now is expecting everyone else to just accept it, but he’s not our drunk dad, we have no pressure to agree to make the conflict go away.

      He was literally heavily medicated.

      On Wednesday, Mr. Phillips wrote on Truth Social, President Trump’s social media platform, that the incident took place while he was heavily medicated as part of a cancer treatment. But he also described it as a miracle performed by God.

    Upon taking office, President Trump pushed to downsize the agency and shift the responsibility of disaster response toward states. Under his former homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, Mr. Trump moved to slash the agency’s funding and staff.

    So Drumpf threw a bone to an incompetent, loyal, delusional moron by putting him in a leadership role at an agency he wants to undermine.

    Call me crazy, but I think this could be part of a larger pattern.

    The molecules tend to shift in the trans-matter… um… event, but, they were transported IN BAR FORM and they clearly were…

    And by the way it’s not about making money. It’s about TAKING money. Destroying the status-quo because the “status” is NOT “quo”. The world is a mess and I just need to RULE it.

    I’m gonna… that smells like cumin.
