I'd rather talk about growing food, and orchids, or cooking different foods.[/QUOTE]Been waiting for the pics since over 2 years now......

Been waiting for the pics since over 2 years now......[/QUOTE]On the largely forgotten food porn thread? We haven't seen any post lately. Well, to be fair the forum has been pretty unreliable lately.....

And to top it off. They only gave them $150 million in compensation. Just the idea that the French and American's could think that, Oh, there are not so many people living in that area, let's just go there and blow up Nuclear bombs for testing, is to me unimaginable. I know Balifrog says he witnessed many of these tests, and has no health problems, but what about the people on those islands. They have had more than enough problems from the tests. Please, let's drop the talking about politics, and get back to more kind subjects such as cooking food and gardening.

YShadrach, on some level I admire your naive altruism and i think it comes from your heart, however on a global or worldwide scale, the mass migration (mostly illegal) seen over the last couple of decades is not rooted in altruism. It has been done to break down societies and cultures with the intent of creating a more homogeneous and compliant society that will fit better in a globalist utopia. Migration based on meritocracy and actually improving the host country by bringing wealth, expertise, and investment is a far better model than migration that only is a burden on the host country and society.[/QUOTE]Yes that's true about a merit base immigration system, but as you know, it is a long, long, drawn out process, that's expensive and in most situations, these people are desperate and can't wait! Please give some positive ideas how these people can migrate out of Wars, and Famine easily?

We had a major mishap during the early tests in the Sahara..... but only technicians and military were involved.But hey, this is the Trump election tread.Not Greenpeace.....

Ok here goes. I had to shrink it to large but the thumbnail enlarges nicely when clicked. I'll keep working on this. Thanks

When I chose the photo from my library, I made it large then clicked add. Full size seemed too big to add. It came on the post as an attachment. Which opens nicely when clicked. I will practice more to come up with something I'm happy with. Thanks again Matsaleh.

In my experience old men that start faffing about with flowers are not much longer for this world. They've kind of given up on women, wine and song and find solace in their waning years in harmless flowers.Of course you can act against it by finding a large dominant hooker to thrash you within an inch of your life and make you her bitch.

Steering the thread back to the original post.....Not sure if the forum has been paying attention to Trump's appointments, but they are definitely going against the grain. The deep state must be shitting themselves. There are still a few cabinet posts open. I for one hope that RFK Jr. gets the HHS (Health and Human Services) Secretary post and is able to expose the corruption and assault on the citizens of the US by Big Pharma and Big Ag. Pure evil.

AAGreed....[/QUOTE]You two are such a sad example of grumpy old FARTS! If you can't appreciate the beauty of Orchids, then how can you appreciate fine wine, women and song? You probably tried to grow them, and were unsuccessful and they died, so you pick on me. I was just posting some photos because you asked. I didn't have any cooking photos, so I picked these. It's much more interesting than babbling about BoZo. If you want to rant on about that clown, that got elected, go ahead. You must realize he is just a talking head in this matter. He has no experience, or education in Government policies, he was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has been convicted of 38 felonies, he boast of abusing women, he sleazed his way out of serving in the military! So let's hear what you have to say about this debacle, if it is so interesting to you?

Why you don't pick on that ?Stay calm, at your venerable age getting upset is bad for your heart !Edit ;BTW, I am younger than you. Age wise, physically, appearance and in my mind !

The suggestion was to start a new thread for orchids or gardening. That way, others that have an interest in orchids or gardening would have a forum to discuss it with you as opposed to being subjected to the political rhetoric. Please feel free to exit this thread whenever you want.
