TMZ revealed how Jeff Reitz visited Disneyland’s Anaheim, California theme park 2,995 times in a row, with his streak beginning in 2012.

The streak went on to span eight years, three months and 13 days – and it all started as a joke between friends!

The road to the record allegedly began when Disneyland announced they were giving an Extra Disney Day when they announced the Leap Day 24 hour even in 2012.

‘We decided to use Disneyland as a positive as we were out of work and had annual passes that had been gifted, so it was a source of free entertainment’ Reitz told Guinness.

The streak ended in March 2020 after COVID-19 shut down the theme park due to restrictions. By then, Reitz was on his 2,995th visit. He shared how attempting to break a record requires time management and even financial awareness to balance out normal day to day activities and getting the title.

Many wonder ‘what could have been’ if Delia remained PN leader

Feb 25 2023

After a historical court case victory meant that the Vitals-Steward deal would be nullified, Adrian Delia was showered with praise by many, with social media highlighting the support of the former PN leader.

This morning, a day after the court ruling, Delia took to Facebook to state: ‘A new day has dawned on our country. Where corruption is overturned, justice rules and truth wins.’

The post garnered upwards of 590 likes in under an hour of posting, with the comments backing the PN MP for his work.

Many even went on the hypothesise what would have happened were Adrian Delia still the Nationalist Party leader. Some even called out his own party for replacing, and even ‘betraying’, Delia whilst others called for him to be reinstated as leader.

‘You should be reinstated. You are the PN’s only hope for victory’ said one.

‘Malta won today and the Nationalist Party lost when they removed Adrian Delia from leader’ said another.

The participants met near Malta’s parliament, holding lfashliffhts in their hands, all glistening blue and/or yellow, to signify the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

The flashmob used the hashtag #LightWillWinOverDarkness as its official slogan in order to commemorate the first-year anniversary since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full scale invasion of the neighbouring country.

The invasion is still ongoing, with Russia’s plans to overthrow Ukraine’s government still unfulfilled. Meanwhile, Western countries are still showing their support to Ukraine as well as its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Sanctions on Russia are continuously imposed, with countries like the USA and France pledging to hand over military equipment to help Ukraine win the war.
