HIJA DE OBAMA HACE TWERKING Y ENSEÑA EL TRASERO VIDEO MALIA OBAMA EN LOLLAPALOOZA 2
Over the weekend, the Internet was outraged that Malia Obama decided to go to the annual music festival Lollapalooza instead of the Democratic Nation Convention. Let"s be honest here, Malia is an 18-year-old teenager. As a teenager myself, I would have preferred a music festival over the DNC. The problem is people hold Malia to such high standards, because of course she is the daughter of the president of the United States and also because she is black. Mainly the people outraged about her having fun are Republicans. Many conservatives find any reason to criticize the Obama family -- whether it"s Obama"s failure to fulfill many of the promises he made, Michelle Obama"s appearance and now the behavior of their children.
Black people have to work 10 times harder to get the same things white people have -- one of them being respect.
These complaints are always unwarranted and laced with racist undertones. Never before have they put so much pressure on such a president over things so unrelated to what"s important... like politics. Black people have to work 10 times harder to get the same things white people have -- one of them being respect. Malia has always been meek alongside her dad during his entire presidency. She has lived up to the standard of a good presidential daughter. She decides to have fun one time, and people are up in arms about it. She has always worked hard to have an admirable reputation. It shouldn"t be overshadowed by her enjoying herself at a music festival.
This isn"t the first time people have been outraged by the Obama daughters. In November 2014, GOP staffer Elizabeth Lauten wrote on her Facebook,
Dear Sasha and Malia, I get you"re both in those awful teen years, but you"re a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar.
This statement was met with criticism, and she resigned. People hold Obama"s daughters to a standards that not even the past children of the prior presidents could achieve.
People hold Obama"s daughters to a standards that not even the past children of the prior presidents could achieve.
During George Bush"s presidency, his daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush had a reputation for being unruly party animals. Photos of Jenna drunk and on the floor would circulate on the internet. In 2001, Jenna Bush was charged with an underage drinking charge at 19 years old. Many regarded them as Secret Service nightmares. Yet the Republicans weren"t outraged about this. The media now is too busy trying to vilify Malia Obama, who has always been a classy young lady. Malia is at the same age as the Bush girls were, and she has not done any of the things that they have done.
Malia never asked to be in the spotlight. At a young age she was thrusted into the spotlight when her father announced his presidency. Since then she hasn"t been able to get much privacy. During her college visits last year, a photo circulated of her playing beer pong. As a teenager that"s a time-honored tradition. The outrage was unwarranted. It seems that anytime Malia is actually enjoying herself, people are outraged. There"s no reason why Malia should be viewed as a puppet. She is her own person; she isn"t Barack and she isn"t the White House. She shouldn"t be viewed in such a way. She is on her way to Harvard next fall -- an accomplishment many wish they could achieve. She has a good head on her shoulders and parents who have taught her so much class.
Malia is at the same age as the Bush girls were, and she has not done any of the things that they have done.
Yes, Malia is the daughter of the president of the United States, but before that she is a teenager. She shouldn"t be hindered from enjoying herself because of who her father is. She shouldn"t be confined to a cage just to appease others. Malia is an adult now, at 18 years old, she is able to make her own decisions and we should respect that. d**n, can we let Malia Obama live?

When Pokmon Sun and Moon launches, it will be available globally and in nine languages with Nintendo adding traditional and simplified Chinese alongside other options such as English, Spanish and Italian.
Nintendo hopes that Pokmon trainers will be able to overcome language barriers and be able to communicate with each other better over the internet.
When first announced the Japanese gaming outfit didnt mention anything in the way of new Pokmon for Sun and Moon although thats inevitable and there was little in the way of other announcements. Are Pokmon going to act differently or be able to use different moves during the day or at night? We dont know but the name suggests something along those lines.
A feature called Pokmon Bank will mean that players can transfer any of their Pokmon from the original trio to Sun and Moon which is pretty cool.
At E3 2016 a new battle format called Battle Royal was announced forPokmon Sun andPokmon, wherebyfour Trainersbattle at once. Each chooses three Pokmon, with one entering the field at a time, and it"s all over when all three Pokmon of any one Trainer have fainted. The remaining Trainers are then ranked.
Pokmon Sun and Moon: Starter Pokmon
Following on in the tradition of previous Pokmon games, players will have to choose one of three special Pokmon to be their first partner in Sun and Moon. In this version ofPokmon you"ll pick between newly discovered Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio.
As usual, they follow the format of grass, fire and water and you can see details of each below.
The first of the potential partners is the highly adaptable Grass Quill Pokmon, Rowlet. This Pokmon can fly silently through the skies, sneaking up on its opponent without being noticed. It can attack its opponents using powerful kicks, and it can also attack from a distance using the razor-sharp leaves that form part of its feathers. Rowlet can survey its environment and turn its neck nearly 180 degrees from front to back, so it can see directly behind itself. When in battle, Rowlet turns its head to face its Trainer when waiting for instructions.
Name: LittenCategory: Fire Cat PokmonHeight: 1" 04"Weight: 9.5lbsType: FireStarting Move: Ember
The cool-headed Fire Cat Pokmon, Litten, is the next choice for a first-partner Pokmon. Littens fur is rich in oils and is immensely flammable. It constantly grooms itself by licking its coat, collecting loose fur into b***s. It then ignites these hairballs to create fireball attacks. When the time comes for Litten to molt, it burns off all of its fur in one glorious blaze.
The third possibility is the acrobatic Sea Lion Pokmon, Popplio. Popplio can create balloons made of water from its nose and utilize them to create a variety of different strategies and attacks in battle. This Pokmon is better at moving in the water than on land, and can swim at speeds over 25 mph. On land, it uses the elasticity of the balloons it creates to perform jumps and acrobatic stunts.
The two latestPokmon to be announced are legendariesSolgaleo and Lunala, which will feature inPokmon Sun andPokmon Moon respectively. See more in the video below:
At E3 2016 Nintendo announced a further three Pokmon:Pikipek, Yungoos and Grubbin.
Pikipek, whichlikes to collect glittery objects and hide them in their food stores, can strike trees up to 16 times per second to bore holes - this powerful action can even shatter stone. Pikipek can also fire seeds at opponents with enough power to embed them into tree trunks.
Yungoos is an extremely hungry Pokmon, and when its stomach rumbles it gets pretty grumpy. It"s pretty much all about its stomach, but some Yungoos also possess the Stakeout ability, with their moves dealing twice the normal damage to any Pokmon that enters the field mid-battle.
Grubbin is a bug-type Pokmon with a strong jaw, munching away in battle and using its nashers to burrow into the ground. Sticky threads can be spat from its mouth and wrapped around trees, enabling Grubbin to swing between them a bit like Tarzan.
Even more new Pokmon for Sun and Moon
Following a leak, The Pokmon Company has confirmed a few more new Pokmon for Sun and Moon. You can check out the video below to see Tapu Koko (with new move Electric Surge), Charjabug (the evolution of Grubbin), Vikavolt (evolution of Charjabug), Drampa, Bruxish, Cutiefly and Togedemaru.
