Top US Fema official claims to have teleported to a Waffle House before
A far-right conspiracy theorist turned high-ranking official at the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) claims to have once teleported to a Waffle House.
Gregg Phillips, who in December was appointed to lead Fema’s office of response and recovery, has spoken on “multiple podcasts” about being teleported against his will, CNN reported on Friday.
On a January 2025 podcast appearance, Phillips claimed that his car was “lifted up” while he was driving and transported 40 miles (65km) away into a ditch near a church. And in another instance on the same episode, Phillips said he was teleported 50 miles away to a Waffle House in Rome, Georgia, CNN detailed in a deep dive into Phillips’ past public statements.
“I was with my boys one time, and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House. And I ended up at a Waffle House – this was in Georgia, and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was,” Phillips said on the podcast Onward, co-hosted by rightwing activist Catherine Engelbrecht.
Phillips added: “And they said, ‘where are you?’ and I said, ‘a Waffle House.’ And: ‘a Waffle House where?’ And I said: ‘Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.’ And they said: “‘That’s not possible, you just left here a moment ago.’ But it was possible. It was real.”
But Phillips did warn about the dangers of teleportation.
“Teleporting is no fun,” he said “You know it’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”
Another meteor is spotted in the US. It’s the third sighting in a week.
A fireball was spotted by hundreds of people and captured on camera around 8 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 22, according to the American Meteor Society. The society said it received over 300 reports on Sunday night, mostly from observers in California, Nevada and Arizona. The vast majority of reports came out of California.
Videos captured by awestruck residents show a bright, glowing orb zip through the night sky, trailed closely by a signature fiery “tail.” Some reported a greenish-yellow glow as the space rock lit up the sky for little more than five or so seconds.
And I watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

‘Murder, She Wrote’ Movie With Jamie Lee Curtis Sets Christmas 2027 Release
“Murder, She Wrote” a reboot of the beloved crime drama, will land in theaters next Christmas. Universal Pictures has slated the film to open on Dec. 22, 2027.
Jamie Lee Curtis is starring in “Murder, She wrote” as the iconic crime writer and amateur sleuth known as Jessica Fletcher, who was memorably portrayed by Angela Lansbury in the original TV series. Plot details for the upcoming movie haven’t been revealed, but the show — which ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to 1996 — centered around Fletcher’s knack for solving murders in the fictional, quaint town of Cabot Cove, Maine.
She should show us them withered titties so we knew that all glory is fleeting and that death awaits us all.
There are people that don’t like Westerberg, but a song about longing this beautiful is rarely produced by a 24-year-old. The Replacements did yearning better than most bands.
Phillips added: “And they said, ‘where are you?’ and I said, ‘a Waffle House.’ And: ‘a Waffle House where?’ And I said: ‘Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.’ And they said: “‘That’s not possible, you just left here a moment ago.’ But it was possible. It was real.”
Trippy
Me thinks he happened upon the Golden Cracky.
We missed the end of the story where he woke up in a steaming pile pancake of his own feces while his wife screamed “Honey you shit the bed again!!!”
I wonder if teleportation is only limited to Waffle House locations.

I am a lot classier than that. Caesar’s Palace classy at least. Waffle House doesn’t even have proper drink specials.
I teleported from the White Castle in the Tropicana on the Vegas strip to a bus bench. Vegas Metro woke me from my travels and told me I had to go. I offered them a slider and they suggested I be on my way or I was going to next wake in the Clark County detention center.

In the “Murder She Wrote” movie, do they finally reveal Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer all along who framed dozen if not hundreds of people for the murders she committed.
The truth wants to come out.
Are those space rocks getting bigger? Meatier meteors?
Personally, I have observed lots and lots of destruction over the last decade caused by a fireball appearing in fish houses.
It has now caused more damage than butterscotch schnapps to the ice fishing community.
My wife does those Spartan races. She and her buddies aren’t in it to break records, they’re just having fun. There is often Fireball involved during the race.
TOK:
I steer well clear of Fireball. The Altar Kids like it though and have left several bottles in my liquor cabinet.
Some older buddies showed up once and saw them and mocked me mercilessly.
I would think Spartan women would have enough testosterone in them to also mock a girly drink like that. I’d think they’d be more likely to drink dark rum directly out of a muddy shoe.
Fireball and apple cider.
Just sayn.
Fireball and apple cider is quite good, as long as you don’t mind drinking like a frat boy. Also, the hangover is a motherfucker…
I’ll admit that (mostly for nostalgia’s sake) I’ll buy a bottle of Goldschläger and keep it in my freezer.
I’m neither young enough nor poor enough to mess around with Fireball. Jack Daniels Fire in a pinch, I reckon.
I stick to liquor without added flavors. I like my poo to come out solid and voluntarily.
I get a hangover for three days.
Total lightweight.
I limit myself to n more than three drinks/shots at a time.

Those “meteors” are just somebody sightng in.

Your holiness:
How long before some deranged proggie keys this guy to protest Elon helping Trump?
Did you catch one of the replies?
Yes, as long as Elon’s not making any money off of this, it’s good.
Bitch, his financial motives aren’t hidden and that’s a good thing.
I’m not a twitterer, so I never see any replies.
I’m not even sure why you’d think he’s annoying. Everything he does is trying to improve lives. I’m excited about his Boring company.
We all know the reason some hate him. Because he was friendly with Trump.
I’m not a twitterer, so I never see any replies.
Nitter, please.
I’m not even sure why you’d think he’s annoying.
Because Wrongthink.
What’s the over/under line for the number of people in any randomly selected Waffle House who have been teleported (anywhere) at some point in their lifetime?
Including or not including alcoholic blackouts.
Who wants to admit they went to Waffle House on purpose?
I’ve done it on long road trips.
My mother wanted grits when she came to see my in TN.
The awful Waffle it was.
Best waffle you can get in a restaurant designed to look like the inside of a men’s bathroom.
Me.
Now, that’s not nice. Jamie Lee Curtis looks damn good for…wait, holy shit, she’s only 67?
Wow. Poor girl’s fallen off a cliff since True Lies…
I’m not going to say anything bad.
At least she hasn’t gone overboard on plastic surgery and turned herself into a freak show. I’d rather bang an old lady with withered titties and wrinkles than one of those plastic Frankensteins.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk with this month’s issue of Granny Gash
Hey now.
Grannies Gone Wild IV is the best of the series …
I’ll trade you “Air Tight Grannies 9” for a “Grannies Gone Wild”.
I refer to the plastic surgery crowd as “Pieces” based on the movie where the killer was trying to piece together the perfect woman from different women’s body parts.
Silly season begins in NH
The super PAC supporting Scott Brown’s U.S. Senate campaign hit his GOP primary opponent, John E. Sununu, with a mailer attempting to link him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The $130,000 mail campaign targeting potential GOP primary voters hit mailboxes the day after a new St. Anselm College Survey Center poll found Brown losing to Sununu in the GOP primary by 21 points, 49-28 percent.
The mailer was paid for by the “Strong As Granite” PAC, created to support Brown’s Senate campaign, and is listed as an independent expenditure.
A representative of the PAC did not respond to requests for comment from NHJournal.
One-time Senator from Massachussetts Scott Brown? Has there ever been a Senator that represented two different states?
Yep, same guy.
Since I have a Gemini window open:
Gemini said
Yes, there have actually been two senators in U.S. history who represented two different states in the Senate.
While many politicians have represented one state in the House and a different state in the Senate (like Sam Houston, who served in the House for Tennessee and the Senate for Texas), only two have pulled off the “double Senate” feat:
1. James Shields
Shields is the only person to represent three different states in the U.S. Senate. His career is one of the most unique in American politics:
Illinois (1849–1855): Served as a Democrat.
Minnesota (1858–1859): Served as one of the state’s first two senators after it was admitted to the Union.
Missouri (1879): Served briefly to fill a vacancy caused by a death.
Fun Fact: Before his Senate days, Shields once challenged Abraham Lincoln to a duel over a series of satirical letters Lincoln (and his future wife, Mary Todd) wrote about him. The duel was called off at the last minute.
2. Waitman T. Willey
Willey’s situation was a direct result of the American Civil War:
Virginia (1861–1863): He was elected to represent the “Restored Government of Virginia” (the Unionist side of the state) after the regular senators were expelled for supporting the Confederacy.
West Virginia (1863–1871): When West Virginia broke away to become its own state, Willey was chosen as one of its first two senators.
Notable “Almosts” (House to Senate)
It is much more common for a member of Congress to switch states between the House and the Senate. Some famous examples include:
Daniel Webster: Represented New Hampshire in the House and Massachusetts in the Senate.
Sam Houston: Represented Tennessee in the House and Texas in the Senate.
Edward Baker: Represented Illinois in the House and Oregon in the Senate.
Would you like to know more about the “Restored Government of Virginia” or how someone like James Shields managed to get elected in three different places?
Wiki says two:
James Shields uniquely served terms in the U.S. Senate for three states; representing Illinois (1849–1855), Minnesota (1858–1859), and Missouri (1879). He was a Democrat.
Waitman T. Willey was a Restored Government of Virginia Senator (1861–1863) who helped create West Virginia. He was then appointed as one of the new state’s first two senators (1863–1871). He was a Unionist until 1865 and a Republican thereafter
Fine Slumbrew, you win.
Now,Slumbrew, do senators killed in battle
@ Creech. Damn, there apparently was one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_D._Baker#Death
Rookie numbers Raven, gotta pump those up.
Baker is the poster child of carpetbaggers. Born in England, in addition to those two previous states, he tried to get elected in CA. And died heading a PA regiment.
Do ye barmy gits not recognize that the apocalypse is nigh? Meteors. Earthquakes. Space scientists and UFO experts disappearing. FEMA officials inexplicably relocated, possibly probed (some ppl just don’t talk about the probe, yo).

They never did find out what happened to that Malaysian plane did they? I think we were all LEFT BEHIND.

Make it a mashup with Father Dowling Mysteries featuring Dan Aykroyd as the sleuthy Padre, throw in a cameo of Eddie Murphy, use CGI to put in Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy, and you’ll have a hit for all ages.
I always thought it would be cool to have a crossover series with all of TV’s quirky sleuths working together.
The could all try to solve the mystery of the stolen FCOJ report. Possibly have the protagonist get raped by a gorilla after being revealed as the thief.
Al Franken could stand by and watch the gorilla rape.
Reading the news I find humorous that Iran has demands for a cease fire.
I’m not saying it can’t wreak havoc, but it’s not coming from a position of strength. But it’s how the kabuki theater of diplomacy starts. And the MSM refuses to explain that.
Especially in the ME, where there tends to be a lot of bravado right until someone’s country disintegrates.

They have us over a barrel vis a vis Hormuz, those are largely political demands, and sending in ground troops to force the strait is political suicide. It’s not a bad strategy actually.

Wut?
AMC. Didn’t they make that nifty Eagle 4×4?
Pick the winner the Pacer!
The SX4 is where it was at.
Why not have both?
I’m pretty sure the Pacer/SX4/Gremlin/Eagle are all based on the Hornet.
A Hornet front end will bolt to the Eagle/SX4 without much trouble.

3D – we had family that worked there. I’ve ridden in them all from the mid 70s to the mid 80s.
Sadly I was too young when the AMX was around.
AMC was a genius at making do with very little. The Jeep acquisition simultaneously kept them alive while imposing a financial burden that eventually killed them. Paying the debt on that deal precluded them from investing in completely new designs. GM (for the right reasons) killing their wankel motor also fucked them heavily with the Pacer.
A girlfriend in HS had the pedestrian AMC Concord sedan the Eagle 4×4 was based on. On the plus side, it had the indestructible I6.
I had an Eagle right after high school. Wish I still did. Of course now a Pacer would be more appropriate.
The buddy that put the Hornet nose in the SX4 had a 72 Javelin and later an Ambassador. Nice looking cars and compared to today’s build quality, not too bad.
We can’t afford a meteor gap with the Russians.
They’re actually invaluable in determining what kind of meteor you stumble upon, should you find one. It’s important to get your meteor right if you see it on the ground.
Yeah, but they haven’t done a damn thing for my asteroids.
Heaven’s IT guy
