Megan Fox confirms she and Machine Gun Kelly drink each other’s blood

Apr 27 2022

Megan Fox has confirmed that she and her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly drink each other’s blood, a practice the couple have allegedly reserved for ‘ritual purposes only.’

35-year-old Fox previously said she and MGK drank one another’s blood to celebrate their engagement, which was announced on Instagram earlier this year.

The social media post described how in July of 2020, the couple sat under a banyan tree and asked for magic for their future together. After describing the romantic event, Fox ended the post by saying ‘…and then we drank each other’s blood.’

Fox revealed that she wasn’t just being metaphorical, or that this was a one time thing. She told Glamour magazine that the couple do shed a few drops and drink them.

However, she said that people shouldn’t imagine them chugging down gallons of blood through goblets like some vampiric overlords. She went on to say that she incorporates this into controlled spiritual practices such as astrology, tarot card reading and other lunar rituals.

Fox also claimed that she had been dreaming of her partner ever since she was four. She claimed that her ‘thoughts and intentions grew him into the person he is. So, I think I made him.’

The Pope’s two-day visit to Malta cost €4,000,000

Apr 27 2022

It was revealed by newsroom ‘The Shift’ that the two-day Malta visit by Pope Francis was estimated to have cost €4 million.

The newsroom reported that the taxpayer did not pay the entire amount as €3 million was covered by the Maltese state. The remaining €1 million was contributed by the Curia from church funds.

The government had faced backlash for using taxpayers’ money on unnecessary expenses during the visit. These included a €50,000 temporary ramp at the Gozo Harbour which allowed the Pope to visit the island for less than two hours via the catamaran.

Thousands of euros were allegedly spent on shipping the Pope’s Fiat Cinquecento to Malta from Rome. the Nuncio used a portion of the funds to ‘refurbish’ his Tal-Virtu villa so that it could host the Pope.

A spokesperson told the newsroom that any questions regarding vehicles used by the Holy See delegation or any such matters should be directed to the Nunciature and/or Holy See press office.

PN undecided on support for Anglu Farrugia as speaker

Apr 27 2022

The Nationalist Party parliamentary group are still undecided when it comes to supporting Anglu Farrugia’s nomination for Speaker.

With parliament opening on the 7th of May, this would mark Farrugia’s third term as Speaker. The nomination will have to bee approved by a simple majority vote in parliament.

MaltaToday was informed by a PN spokesperson that a meeting of the parliamentary group about the subject is still yet to be held. He also added that Opposition leader Bernard Grech was not consulted by Prime Minister Robert Abela on the nomination.

Abela said back on the 14th of April that government will be nominating Farrugia for speaker, insisting he saw no need for a change in the role. Were this to be the case, it would mark the first time a Speaker is retained for a third term.

The Opposition had voted against Farrugia’s nomination in 2013 because former PM Joseph Muscat did not consult it on the choice. In 2017, Farrugia was proposed for a second term and was approved unanimously.

The Speaker can be a sitting MP or someone from outside the House as the Constitution makes no reference to consultation in the nomination of a new Speaker. The motion to nominate the person for the role is filed by the prime minister, and is the first vote that will be taken in the first session of parliament.

Russia cutting off gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria amid Moldova invasion fears

Apr 27 2022

Russia will be halting its gas shipments to Poland and Bulgaria on Wednesday, following accusations by Kyiv of Russia seeking to expand the Ukraine war further into Europe after blasts in Moldova.

Gazprom, a Russian energy giant, told Poland and Bulgaria that supplies will be cut off. Bulgaria is highly dependent on the company’s gas, with the country’s energy ministry saying on Tuesday that state-owned gas operators have undertaken steps for alternative agreements for natural gas deliveries.

Bulgaria is almost completely dependent on Russia for annual consumption of around 3.0 billion cubic metres of gas. It only receives small amounts from Azerbaijan, which it hopes to increase after completing a pipe link to Greece late this year.

Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki saying that their country’s facilities were 76% full and that it was ready to obtain necessary supplies from other pipelines.

Explosions this week which targeted the state ministry, a radio tower and military unit in Moldova followed a Kremlin commander’s claims Russian speakers were being opposed.

This raised eyebrows that Moldova could be Russia’s next target to push into Europe. The Moldovan region of Transnistria has been occupied by Moscow’s forces for decades, with a Ukrainian official saying that if his country falls, Russians will be at Moldova’s gates.
