He’s back. And what he’s got to say is going to shock you. Maybe. I guess it depends on your tolerance for shock. Anyway, as regular readers of this column know, I love reading about time travel, and the predictions of alleged time travelers. And while my all-time favorite is the legendary John Titor, one of my current favorites is a guy on TikTok who has gone by various names as he’s morphed his account.

Sometimes the headline says it all. And this is one of those times. Yes, folks, desperate times call for tough questions, and this week, the question we need to face is whether or not Betty White was really an Illuminati shapeshifter killed by Q-Anon. Now, of course to most people, Betty White was a beloved actress and activist who starred in several classic TV hits including “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Golden Girls” and “Cooter And The Tang Ticklers’ Funtime Magic Hour.” When she passed away on New Year’s Eve, the last day of 2021, at the age of... Read More
