On March 20th, a top official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency has sparked controversy with claims of teleportation. As director of FEMA's Office of Response and Recovery, the largest division there, he's responsible for advising on federal disaster aid. On a podcast last January, he described being suddenly transported 50 miles to a waffle house in Rome, Georgia, while out with friends. He also recounted another incident where his car was lifted up and moved 40 miles to a ditch near a church. These stories come from public appearances where he shared personal experiences that sound supernatural. Waffle House, the 24-hour diner chain, holds a special place in disaster lore. Former FEMA head Craig Fugate once noted that if a waffle house closes during a storm, things are really serious. This official's tales add a bizarre twist to the chain's reputation. Beyond teleportation, he's voiced doubts about COVID-19 and its vaccine, suggesting they were meant to harm people. He also accused Department of Homeland Security staff of plotting against President Trump

after last year's attempt on his life. FEMA says these remarks were informal chats from before his job, often tied to his cancer survival story and taken out of context. The agency insists he's fully focused on protecting Americans through emergency management work.
