RICHMOND- Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this afternoon following the tragic shootings at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., earlier today.


“Our thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted by today’s tragic shooting. Innocent lives have been lost. Families are in mourning. It is absolutely heartbreaking. All of Virginia’s law enforcement resources remain ready to assist authorities as the investigation moves forward. America is a nation of good and peaceful people. Horrendous, evil acts of violence will not shake our national unity and character. In the aftermath of this tragic day, I urge all Virginians to always remember to thank the brave law enforcement, first responders and military personnel in their communities for their dedicated and sacrificial service on our behalf.”

Whitehouse Culinary Delight, SQUIRREL SOUP - Recipe Of The Day

289/365 SOUP (Photo credit: cheesy42)

Straight from Washington, DC and the Whitehouse comes this culinary delight.  We are not kidding.

The Whitehouse Cookbook (1887) by F. L. Gillette and Hugo Ziemann

Wash and quarter three or four good sized squirrels; put them on, with
a small tablespoonful of salt, directly after breakfast, in a gallon
of cold water. Cover the pot close, and set it on the back part of
the stove to simmer gently, _not_ boil. Add vegetables just the same
as you do in case of other meat soups in the summer season, but
especially good will you find corn, Irish potatoes, tomatoes and Lima
beans. Strain the soup through a coarse colander when the meat has
boiled to shreds, so as to get rid of the squirrels' troublesome
little bones. Then return to the pot, and after boiling a while
longer, thicken with a piece of butter rubbed in flour. Celery and
parsley leaves chopped up are also considered an improvement by many.
Toast two slices of bread, cut them into dice one-half inch square,
fry them in butter, put them into the bottom of your tureen, and then
pour the soup boiling hot upon them. Very good.

Gloucester, VA- The Fight To Control Your Mind - 911 Special Edition Launch

There is a massive media contest going on larger than at anytime in known history .  That fight is the fight to control your mind.  At every level, on every issue, with extreme amounts of data from more sides than you could ever imagine, how does one sort through all the confusion?  It used to take years to become an expert on just about any given subject.  Now one can compile a massive and impressive data file loaded with audio, video, e-books, PDF files and more within a matter of days.

  We have decided to take you on a journey through this fight and at times we will offer commentary that is within our own opinion, but respect the rights for you to form your opinions on the subject matter we publish here.  We are launching this series with a special 911 edition that is video footage shot by an independent film maker that resides in New Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan, where the  main 911 incident took place.  Caution, the video can get boring very fast as you keep thinking to yourself, "I'm waiting for it, waiting for it?  Ugh, when is it going to get there?  Oh there it is!"

  The video is one hour and 44 plus minutes long so make sure you have plenty of time to view this piece.  We think it is worth your time as it is the best alternative and well researched piece we have seen to date on 911 possibly being an inside job.  We are not taking sides, we are presenting what is out there that you may not have seen and will never be able to see on the local or national news or newspapers and magazines.  View the video and make your own decisions.  This is the piece of history that has altered life both here in the United States and the world.
