"The Camels are on the horizons..." From Facebook and the World Wide Web" (Kimo's world #357 from the www)

 

James "Kimo" Rosen is a retired professional photographer  
and amongst other things is a satirist.
Rosen currently resides on the tropical island of Kaua'i.


Aloha Readers,
I tried finding an author to no avail. This is one of those stories that went viral
through many sources. I received this as an email from a friend.
 Many people have seen this on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, or other social media venues.
This is short and definitely tells quite the story, a must-read.

  The Camels are on the horizons
 
Certainly, something

for the younger generation should think about.
There is truth here, that is really a prediction about our future.

The founder of Dubai, Sheik Rashid, was asked about the future of his country, and he replied, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes,

my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover...but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again.
Why is that, he was asked?

And his reply was, “Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times. Many will not understand it, but you have to raise warriors, not parasites and pansies."

And add to that the historical reality that all great empires...the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in later years, the British...all rose and

perished within 240 years.
They were not conquered by external enemies; they rotted from within. America has now passed that 240-year mark, and the rot is starting to be visible and is accelerating. We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover Years....the camels are on the horizon.

The greatest generation consisted of 18-year-old kids storming the beaches at Normandy. And now, two generations later, some 18-year-old kids want to hide in safe rooms when they hear words that hurt their feelings. They also want free stuff from the government because they think they are entitled to it.

The "camels are on the

horizon" for sure. Something to ponder.
History has a way of repeating itself.
So, enjoy every day as if it were the last day…

"The NFL has taken an estrogen injection..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen' (Kimo's world # 356)


James "Kimo" Rosen is a retired professional photographer  
and amongst other things is a satirist.
Rosen currently resides on the tropical island of Kaua'i.

 There was a pro-Israeli rally to set the hostages free at Kapa’a beach park fronting Kuhio Hwy last Friday, 02-16-24.  The rally was organized by Rabbi Michoel Goldman of Chabad of Kauai. This was the fourth pro-Israeli on Kauai rally since the hostages were taken captive on October 8th.  

The following photo of James “Kimo” Rosen on the left and Rabbi Michoel Goldman on the right was photographed by Schneur Goldman.

  The NFL has taken an estrogen injection
 
Football has

taken a huge estrogen injection with no end in sight until women eventually take control of a game that's been driven by testosterone for years.

The world has become liberated. Women, minorities, and most recently sports, and prominently the National Football League. 

Nearly every

NFL sideline reporter is a woman, and the sports shows including "Good Morning Football" all have woman co-hosts.
 
A few years back women even started calling games, which I must admit was hard to get used to.

  Beth Mowins who is a play-by-play announcer sounds like a 12-year-old boy going through puberty. In my opinion, It just doesn't fit.

There are women referees,

the joke goes they are now calling penalties on the field from games three years ago.
(LOL)

 The Kansas City Chiefs have taken on the moniker of the Kansa City "Swifties" since Pop

star Taylor Swift girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce attended most of the Chief's games in a luxury box surrounded by other famous people. The cameras would constantly be cutting away to Taylor.

Many guys believe this is a distraction to their male bonding, however, the NFL looks

at it as a goldmine since now for the first-time little girls want their dads to take them to football games, watch games on TV with them, and explain the game to them. 

Every year football is getting softer and less strenuous, some may say less violent. These days if you touch the quarterback too hard your team is penalized for roughing the passer.

The yearly Pro Bowl now

plays flag football in place of tackle football. The 2028 Summer Olympics will feature flag football with both men and women.

The NFL is gearing towards flag football to eventually take over. I say to fellow football fans;
enjoy the NFL as we know it now because before long it won't look the

same.

If you think it's been scripted the last few years with the zebras not calling penalties in favor

of the team Vegas has to win, just wait until you're watching scripted flag football, yuk.

The NFL has taken an estrogen injection with the feminization of football. The NFL used to be a safe place for many men to release their testosterone, yell at the TV, eat junk food, drink a few Brewskis, and root for their favorite team.

Now it's going to be like gathering around the TV and watching 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper. Imagine longing for the days of Travis Kelce, elderly abusing his coach. (LOL)

It won't be long before a woman is quarterbacking, kicking field goals, or playing tight end

for an NFL team when eventually flag football takes over because of cancel culture when nobody wants to be tackled in fear of getting a boo-boo.

The question remains where would they shower after the game?

To end with a Seinfeldism.  
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)

"Fear thy neighbor, humans incapable of peace..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen' (Kimo's word #355)

 

James "Kimo" Rosen is a retired professional photographer

           Fear thy neighbor, humans incapable of peace
 
How can we expect peace in the world when we combat it daily in our own backyards? 

We fight with spouses,

significant others, friends, and neighbors and call the cops.  There’s even a show about this on cable TV called, “Fear thy neighbor.”

We divorce our spouses and have domestic disputes with significant others at times requiring

emergency care, other times resulting in murder. Siblings fight and at times result in bloodshed and broken bones. Schools, shopping malls and houses of worship have all been targets of mass shootings. Many of these real-life stories can be seen on TV shows like Dateline and 48 Hours.

Social media is full of hate

and if you've ever written an opinion piece for a periodical comments sections are full of evil and even murder threats with the vitriol thrown out by the readers. 

How can we expect

peace in the Middle East amongst Jews and Muslims, Israel and Palestine, even our own political system if we can't even have peace with family, friends, and neighbors or write an opinion piece without attacks?

Peace is something great

for politicians and hippies to campaign and talk story on but is something that humans will never achieve on planet Earth.
