Donald Trump States “I Took A Bullet For Democracy”

Jul 21 2024 Share

As President Biden is fighting for his political life, former President Trump spent the majority of his rally boasting his survival from his shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

With his security detail reinforced, Trump started his speech by stating “I stand before you only by the grace of Almighty God. That’s true. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be here,”

Earlier on Trump’s personal doctor revealed that one of the bullets missed his head by only less than a quarter of an inch.

The highlight of the night was surely when the former President, in response to claims that he would be a threat to democracy if elected, stated that he “took a bullet for democracy”.

Enemalta Works Through the Night to Address Power Cuts

Jul 20 2024 Share

Enemalta is working around the clock to restore electricity to approximately 5,000 consumers affected by power cuts in San Lawrenz, Gozo, and Gżira/St Julian’s, Malta. The issue, which arose overnight, involved multiple faults in these areas, making the restoration process more challenging.

During a media briefing, Executive Chairman Ryan Fava explained that the complexity of the faults extended the time needed to address the issues. He noted that while Enemalta typically restores power within a reasonable timeframe, the severe damage in these instances required prolonged efforts.

Energy Minister Miriam Dalli expressed gratitude to Enemalta workers for their dedication and highlighted an ongoing ambitious plan to strengthen the distribution system. Over the past seven months, new distribution cables were laid in several localities, particularly those hit by severe power cuts last year during a heatwave.

The second phase of this investment is now in progress, focusing on areas including Marsa, Żebbuġ, Siġġiewi, Buġibba, San Pawl il-Baħar, Qawra, Sliema, Gżira, St Julian’s, Birkirkara, and various zones in Gozo. This work aims to enhance the resilience and reliability of the electricity distribution network across Malta.
