This is a recipe handed down to me by my mom. It’s been in my family since I was a kid (back when dirt was new). I’ve tweaked it slightly to my own satisfaction, but will also provide the original specs. I’ve yet to come across a store-bought cookie that equals them.

If an all-out war erupts, it will be like nothing the Earth has seen before. All of our “progress” means that each side now has the weapons at their disposal to destroy their enemy many times over. Because of this, we can’t as readily look back in history to learn how to survive World War 3.
Most of the time, when I write an article, it’s based on research or personal experience. I can find times when the incident has occurred in the past and study them. I can learn what catastrophes came hand-in-hand, and analyze what we need to know ahead of time to survive. The potential of a conflict like WWIII is quite different because, during the last World War, our technology was a drop in the bucket compared to what is now available. The situation we have now is called MAD – Mutually Assured Destruction – and the acronym couldn’t be any more accurate because it’s utter madness to destroy our world.

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin man who sent a manifesto to the president earlier this month was taken into custody early Friday in western Wisconsin, law enforcement officials said.
Joseph Jakubowski was arrested just before 6 a.m. CT on Friday after he was found camping on a farmer’s property near Readstown, Wis., in Vernon County. The farmer filed a suspicious complaint saying a man “matching the description of Jakubowski was camping at that location and refused to leave when he had been asked to do so,” the Rock County (Wis.) Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Continue reading “Joseph Jakubowski, manhunt suspect who sent manifesto to Trump, captured in Wisconsin”

Because the Obama administration quietly announced their plans for 3,400-plus new regulations last week just after Ferguson erupted and just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, a lot of what’s actually going on in that rather long list was already lost and forgotten pretty much the moment it was released.
One regulation worth mentioning has to do with rotavirus vaccines and a condition called intussusception. Continue reading “Gov’t Admits Rotavirus Vaccine Causes Intussusception, Adds It to Injury Compensation Program”

Over 500 firearms have been returned to a California FFL dealer and his family after a lengthy battle with the California Department of Justice (DOJ).
Fresno County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Conklin ordered in December that the guns be turned over to the Fresno firearms dealer on behalf of the family. The state has since complied with that order. Continue reading “Justice Prevails: California DOJ Forced to Return 500+ Guns to FFL Dealer”

According to ‘DartDrones’, Police departments should make it their priority to lie convince the public to accept UAV’s or surveillance drones.
“Many people see stories about drone surveillance and become nervous about being spied on. Your [police departments] goal is to reduce these fears by showing what a drone can and can’t do. The public’s opinion can make or break the police unmanned aerial vehicle unit.” Continue reading “Police UAV supplier reveals how police lie to politicians and the public”

L-Histidine + Injection = Histamine Release + Excess Histamine Excess Inflammation = Histamine Intolerance?
There are times in our lives when it seems like we come full circle in our findings. This is one of those times for me. Early on in my research into the HPV vaccines I knew that the L-Histidine, which is unique to this vaccine, played a major role in what I was hearing from parents and girls adversely injured by Gardasil®. I made the connection between Histamine and IgE release. I was able to make the connection with all the variety of symptoms to the various components of this vaccine. Continue reading “Vaccine Mechanism of Harm Exposed in Gardasil Vaccine”

Two owners of allegedly defective Remington Model 700 rifles say they will seek to block a landmark class action settlement approved by a federal judge last month, arguing the agreement does not go far enough. That means the fate of as many as 7.5 million allegedly unsafe guns is once again in question.
The settlement covers the iconic Model 700 and a dozen other Remington models with similar designs. In 2010, CNBC investigated allegations Remington covered up a deadly design defect that allows the guns to fire without the trigger being pulled. Remington has steadfastly denied the allegations and maintains that the guns are safe, but said it was settling the class action case to avoid prolonged litigation. Remington has agreed to replace the triggers in millions of the guns free of charge, and provide product vouchers for models it says are too old to be retrofitted.

As many as 36 ISIS militants were killed when the U.S. dropped its biggest non-nuclear bomb on a terrorist encampment in Afghanistan on Thursday, officials said.
The colossal explosion — caused by a 21,600-pound weapon nicknamed the “mother of all bombs” — so far hasn’t killed any civilians after destroying a network of tunnels and caves used by ISIS, U.S. and Afghan forces said.
