Ramaswamy speaks out on Cincinnati street brawl
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy condemned a Cincinnati street brawl that garnered attention on social media over the weekend and used the altercation to bash public safety policies on the left in a Monday post on X. In his post, Ramaswamy said that he had spoken to one of the women assaulted in the fight, whose first name he said was Holly. 'It's unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance to take her to the hospital,' he wrote. 'Hard-working Americans shouldn't have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities.' The brawl, video of which quickly spread online, was also condemned by several high-profile politicians Monday, including Vice President JD Vance, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) and Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval. It occurred early Saturday morning in downtown Cincinnati. Pureval said in a statement that he was 'confident' arrests from the incident would be forthcoming. Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said that the department has since identified and charged five people in connection with the brawl. On X, Ramaswamy pledged that law enforcement would 'have the green light to restore order—no apologies.' 'Leftists like to lecture about 'systemic injustice' while thugs turn our turn [sic] cities into war zones. I'm done with their excuses,' he wrote. 'As governor, I'll make sure they're behind bars, not running wild.' 'Holly appreciates the kind words and prayers from patriots across the country, and hopes that the publicity around her story ensures that local & state leaders clean up our failing cities,' he added.

Ghislaine Maxwell Petitions Supreme Court to Overturn Sex Trafficking Conviction
Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime co-conspirator, is serving a 20-year prison sentenceNEED TO KNOW Ghislaine Maxwell is seeking to have her sex trafficking conviction overturned by the Supreme Court Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence following her 2021 conviction Maxwell is Jeffrey Epstein's longtime co-conspiratorGhislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime co-conspirator, is attempting to have her sex trafficking conviction overturned. Maxwell's attorneys wrote in a Supreme Court petition obtained by PEOPLE that she should have received immunity as part of Epstein's controversial deal with federal prosecutors that they claim shields her from prosecution. Epstein served just over a year in prison after pleading guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges, following an agreement with the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Florida. As part of the deal, federal prosecutors dropped the charges against Epstein as long as he pleaded guilty to state charges. According to Maxwell's attorneys, the non-prosecution agreement stated that 'the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein." Maxwell's attorneys contend that Maxwell is covered by that agreement. "...This case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did," the attorneys wrote.

He controversially died by suicide while in custody in Manhattan. In 2021, Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and was later sentenced to 20 years in prison. Maxwell recently met with federal prosecutors following backlash over the Trump administration's handling of files related to the Epstein case. Epstein, the billionaire financier, has been linked to high-profile individuals like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals previously denied Maxwell's petition to have her conviction overturned, leading to her bid for the Supreme Court to intervene. Read the original article on People

No evidence of Lesotho rebel army, says SAPS
SAPS says the country's intelligence structures have been investigating Lesotho's claims that there are illegal military camps on farms in South Africa. Lesotho Commissioner of Police Borotho Matsoso had said the country was working closely with South African officials to investigate the camps. SAPS said National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola had met with all nine provincial commissioners and Matsoso's claims were high on the agenda. The South African Police Service (SAPS) says the country's intelligence structures have been investigating Lesotho's claims that there are illegal military camps on farms in South Africa training a rebel army. But the Hawks have yet to find any evidence of this, GroundUp reports. This follows an extraordinary press briefing on 18 July by Lesotho's top security chiefs, who claimed that a rebel group known as Malata Naha is recruiting Basotho youth and providing military training in South Africa. On Saturday, SAPS issued a statement after GroundUp reported that the South African authorities were mum on the allegations. Previously, Lesotho Commissioner of Police Borotho Matsoso had said the country was working closely with South African officials to investigate the camps. The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), also known as the Hawks, through its Crimes Against the State (CATS) unit, has been roped in to investigate. Various searches have been undertaken by CATS at identified farms, and no such evidence has been found to date. SAPS said National Commissioner General Fannie Masemola had met with all nine provincial commissioners and Matsoso's claims were high on the agenda. SAPS noted that a preliminary report from its Crime Intelligence Division was reviewed. Intelligence structures have heightened operations to verify the allegations. In a further development, SAPS confirmed that Masemola has directly engaged with Matsoso. 'Both commissioners agreed that law enforcement intelligence structures from both countries are on the ground investigating the existence of such camps,' the statement read. Masemola said: 'The safety and security of all people living in South Africa is of paramount importance, and anyone found committing illegal acts will face the full might of the law.' The SAPS statement said South Africans are urged not to panic or worry as police from both countries remain on high alert and are working jointly to establish the facts on the ground.
