Obama travelled to Africa on Sunday where he first stopped in Kenya, the birthplace of his father. It is his first visit to Africa since leaving office in 2017. He delivered the speech on Tuesday a day before the official commemoration at the 16th annual Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture. During his speech, he warned against “strongman politics,” emphasized need for global diplomacy,  and delivered a message of hope directed at the youth. He began his speech recalling Mandela and his legacy. Obama derived many of his beliefs from Mandela–a man who changed the course of history as the first Black president of South Africa. Their lives, uniquely parallel, were not lost on the committee who asked Obama to speak at the conference. Prior to Obama’s speech Mandela’s wife, Graça Machel , told the crowd of more than 15,000 people that Obama is one of the “finest global leaders of the 21st century” and a “youthful symbol of transformative leadership.” Former Pres. Barack Obama: “Through his sacrifice and unwavering leadership, and perhaps most of all through his moral example, Mandela and the movement he led would come to signify something larger…the universal aspirations of dispossessed people all around the world.” pic.twitter.com/lq5vk3yyDV — ABC News (@ABC) July 17, 2018 Obama pulled from other impactful leaders before him mentioning Ghandi , Martin Luther King Jr ., and Abraham Lincoln –three men who used the art of oration to move the masses. Former President Obama: “I believe in Nelson Mandela’s vision. I believe in a vision shared by Gandhi and King and Abraham Lincoln. I believe in a vision… built on the premise that all people are created equal and they’re endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights.” pic.twitter.com/m8lnutnkCH — CNN (@CNN) July 17, 2018 After Trump’s stunning joint press conference with Vladimir Putin on Monday where he refused to acknowledge a known fact–that Russian officials conspired and interceded in the 2016 election, critics and supporters on both sides of the aisle blasted the Trump with calls of treason and incompetence. Obama took a moment to acknowledge Trump’s repeated faux pas and Trump’s commitment to undoing his legacy. Former Pres. Obama: “Look around: strongman politics are ascendant…whereby elections and some pretense of democracy are maintained, the form of it, but those in power seek to undermine every institution or norm that gives democracy meaning.” https://t.co/ClI1zYlCd0 pic.twitter.com/eznFGB2kZD — ABC News (@ABC) July 17, 2018 And in true fashion, Obama also delivered a message of perseverance to the youth–the next generation of global leaders.

Every generation has the opportunity to remake the world.” https://t.co/spcXtv2mpR pic.twitter.com/kLiLta2XlA — ABC News (@ABC) July 17, 2018 Obama ended his speech with a tone of unity and togetherness.

Kylie Jenner: Accused of Child Abuse! For Real!

Kylie Jenner is probably a decent mom, right? We really haven’t seen much of her parenting in action, or any of it, really. Aside from a few selfies with Stormi and that admittedly precious video she shared about her pregnancy , she’s been pretty private about everything. But there are some things you just can’t help but notice, certain choices that Kylie’s been making as a mother. And one of those recent choices has gotten a lot of people riled up. Kylie was kind enough to share a new video and photo of Stormi earlier this week, and once you get over how precious that little baby is , you notice something. She’s got her ears pierced! She looks adorable, just like always , but people always have very strong feelings about piercing a baby’s ears. Those people were not shy in expressing their dismay. “Kylie Jenner’s baby has her ears pierced and I have lost every bit of respect I had for that girl that should be illegal,” one person tweeted. Another told her that she should “be ashamed” of herself, and that “this is utterly disgraceful.” “I think it’s f-cking awful that she’s pierced her baby’s ears as a fashion statement,” someone in Instagram complained, and another agreed, saying “I really don’t understand how people can put holes in their babies.” Because, as a Twitter user argued, “They’re kids for f-cks sake, why put them through unnecessary pain?” “Sorry but no just no,” yet another person declared. “Piercing a 5 month old childs ears is NOT cute it is called CHILD ABUSE. Shows that you are NOT fit to be a parent and should be investigated.” So … that’s a lot, right? We can probably all agree that getting a baby’s ears pierced isn’t actually child abuse, let’s start there. Sure, you may not agree with the idea, and you may even be outspoken about it like some of these people, but it’s not on the same level as actual abuse, at all. And, as plenty of people pointed out, getting your kid’s ears pierced at such a young age is normal for many, many people. “Y’all really mad at Kylie for getting her baby’s ears pierced?” one of those people asked. “That’s the first thing poc do after cutting the cord.” “I just read ppl complaining abt kylie jenner getting her 6month year old baby’s ears pierced and i feel like they’re all white,” another said. “Like pls i got mine done out of the womb.” From the point of view of a former baby in Stormi’s position, “I got mine pierced at 9 months and I PROMISE, I have never felt like my parents took my autonomy away from me. It’s truly not that serious.” And then, in one particularly strong argument, someone tweeted “People are upset Kylie Jenner pierced her 5 month old daughter’s ears. Wait until they find out what some people do to their sons penis 2-3 weeks after birth!” So maybe we can give Kylie a break on this one, just this once? At the very least, maybe we could avoid acting like she’s the worst mother in the whole entire world. View Slideshow: Stormi Webster: See ALL Her Precious Pics!

Elon Musk Vows On Twitter To Pay For Home Water Filters For Flint Residents

Source: Photo by Mike Kline (notkalvin) / Getty It’s been four years since the bonehead decision by Michigan officials to switch the city of Flint’s water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River. The water from the lake was highly corrosive causing hazardous levels of lead to link into Flint’s water supply poisoning its residents. The residents fought tooth and nail just recognize the problem and bring national attention to the crisis. Despite claims of the water being safe to drink may residents still don’t trust the city’s drinking water. After being challenged on Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he is willing to help those still suffering in Flint. Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels. No kidding. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018 Musk fresh off being in the news for his submarine idea to help the now rescued Thai soccer team trapped in a cave promised in a Tweet: “Please consider this a commitment that I will fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels. No kidding.” Michigan’s state government recently ended a program that supplied a free bottled water to residents, despite the fact, there are still residents complaining of unusable water. Musk’s help whether or not its a PR move would definitely be more than welcomed by the people of Flint. Musk also stated in related tweets that “Most houses in Flint have safe water, but they’ve lost faith in govt test results. Some houses are still outliers,” and encouraged those who feel their water is still bad to share their test results and he “will send someone to install a water filter.” He also promised to create a specific email, flint@x.com when he has an opportunity to do so when he returns from China. For now, reply to my tweet with ppm & ppb test results & will send someone to install a water filter. Creating email flint@x.com, but I’m in China so that won’t be working until tomorrow. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2018 Well, we gotta tip our hat to Elon Musk, this exactly how you put your money where your mouth is. Musk joins the likes of Big Sean ,  Bruno Mars and Dave Chappelle who also used their wealth and resources to help the city during its water crisis. — Photo: Mike Kline (notkalvin) / Getty

YUCK: Woman’s Toenails Get Infected And Fall Off After Receiving A ‘Fish Pedicure’

Woman Loses Toes After Fish Pedicure You’ll probably think twice before letting some little fish nibble on your heel after this… A woman has reportedly lost all her toenails after indulging in a “fish pedicure.” You’ve probably seen these while on vacation to tropical locations, but they are still in practice in some areas of the states. If you’re unfamiliar, the pedicure involves allowing tiny fish known as “doctor fish” to nibble at the dead human skin residing on the foot. The fish naturally do this when there is no plankton present. According to a report from dermatologist Shari Lipner via NYDN , the process isn’t the most sanitary, as the tanks are near impossible to clean fully between customers and the same fish nibble on different customers, increasing the probability of spreading bacteria between individual uses. Apparently, this is what occurred with the unnamed woman in the report. About a month after receiving her pedicure, she noticed her toenails separating from her foot. Her dermatologist determined that she was suffering from onychomadesis, a condition in which the nail plates separate from the skin. This is the first known case of the condition caused by fish pedicures. The fish pedicure is banned in 10 states and several European countries. If you’re o vacay and need to tend to your toes…maybe look into doing it the old-fashioned way. Getty

Little People, Big World: 19 Shocking Scandals… Exposed!

The Roloffs are not the Kardashians. We mostly tune in to Little People, Big World each week because we want to see a bunch of relatives interact who basically just enjoy each other's company. They don't fight. They don't exploit each other. There's very little drama and almost no controversy. ALMOST , we said. Over the years, various members of this close-knit family have had run-ins with the law, clashes with social media users and taken part in other scandalous affairs that may come as a surprise. We still love Matt, Amy and company. As you are about to find out, however, they are not perfect… 1. Jacob Dropped Out of High School And he didn’t do so quietly, either, engaging on Twitter with someone who gave him props to his “high intellect,” but critcized him for dropping out in protest of public institutions, to which Jacob replied: “If you can tell my intellectual level with me not having finished formal high school, why do I still need it? Just to say so?” He added that he had a “hard time being excited” for his friends going to a four-year college. “I think you could learn a lot more for a lot less.” 2. Matt Got Arrested for Drunk Driving The incident took place in 2007, after he was stopped near his home for swerve in and out and his lane. Six months after the arrest, he was found not guilty in court. 3. Jeremy the… Bigot? Way back in 2008, Jeremy Roloff was accused of writing racist and homophobic messages on his MySpace account. The situation was brought to everyone’s attention by the National Enquirer story excerpted above. The messages at the time insulted African-Americans, Mexicans and gay people. 4. Jacob the… Drug User? We can’t say this one is too stunning, but Jacob once Tweeted: “Who doesn’t suck at selling weed Hmu.” That acronym stands for Hit Me Up. 5. Roloff Farms… Sued? Yes. In 2011, a Washington woman named Linda Farrall alleged that she was injured due to a fall from a picnic pavilion at the property. She sued the Roloffs for negligence and the case was settled out of court. 6. Jacob Accuses Producers of… Stealing? Always an outspoken individual, Jacob publicly claimed in 2015 that he was getting ripped off from his time on the series. “Man I wish it didn’t feel like I was getting f-ced out of the money from the show that was my childhood right now,” he said back then.
