Democratic Rep. Tim Kennedy described Phillips as “wildly unfit for his role as head of FEMA response and recovery,” citing “his violent statements about former President Biden” and “deeply troubling bigoted comments about immigrants.”

Kennedy added: “All of which, to me, makes him wholly disqualified to hold his position on its own — but only to be outdone by his claims of being teleported to a Waffle House.”

    About once a year, I teleport from Florida to NYC to visit family. I use my vehicle as a time travel device, and the teleportation process takes about 19 hours, while I sit quietly at the controls, and listen to music, podcasts, and audio books.

      What’s funny is that when you’re doing something that you’ve done thousands of times, like driving a route that you know extremely well, you can sometimes have almost no memory of doing it. While you’re doing it you can be so zoned out that you’re not consciously aware of what you’re doing. So, in a sense you time travel at a rate of 1 second per second with your consciousness just getting a brief snooze.
