Cincinnati street brawl: Vivek Ramaswamy donates to attack victim 'Holly'; fundraiser tops $100K
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has made a significant donation to a GiveSendGo fundraiser supporting a woman named Holly, who was assaulted during a violent mob attack in downtown Cincinnati. The incident, which went viral, showed Holly being punched while trying to help another victim during the chaotic street brawl. American commentator and YouTuber Benny Johnson shared a screenshot of Ramaswamy's donation, writing on X, "Wow. @VivekGRamaswamy just made an incredibly generous donation to Holly's GiveSendGo. Thank you to all who've shown up for her. 100% goes to Holly." The fundraiser has now surpassed $100,000 in donations. "We have now officially raised $100,000 for Holly in just one night. This is one of the most successful GiveSendGo campaigns in history," Johnson posted earlier. Ramaswamy had earlier condemned the attack and criticised the absence of police and emergency services. Earlier, in a post on X, he wrote, "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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo Hard-working Americans shouldn't have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities.' He added that Holly, a single working mother, told him no public official aside from one detective had contacted her. "Leftists like to lecture about 'systemic injustice' while thugs turn our cities into war zones. I'm done with their excuses," Ramaswamy said. If elected in the coming year, Ramaswamy declared, "We're going to set an example for what that looks like in Ohio." The viral video of the incident shows a man being chased into the street, shoved to the ground, and beaten by a crowd. One individual body-slams him while others kick and stomp him. As the man tries to get up, a woman, later identified as Holly, rushes to help, only to be punched twice in the face. She collapses to the pavement, hitting her head and bleeding from the mouth as the crowd continues to cheer. The clip has sparked outrage and renewed calls for better safety and policing in urban areas.

Trump blasts Charlamagne tha God as ‘low IQ individual' over Epstein files remarks: ‘He has no idea what words…'
US President Donald Trump dubbed Charlamagne the God a 'low IQ individual' after the radio host implied that conservative Republicans will utilise the controversy around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein files to retake the party from the MAGA movement. Trump said said Charlamagne tha God has 'no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done.'(Reuters) In recent weeks, Trump has attempted to divert the focus of the MAGA community from Epstein, who passed away in prison on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on on sex-trafficking charges. Here's what Charlamagne tha God said In an episode of his Fox News show, Charlamagne tha God—whose real name is Lenard McKelvey - spoke with Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump. 'I think that traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back,' McKelvey said while speaking to Lara Trump. According to him, Epstein files will be an opportunity for traditional conservatives to regain control of their party. 'I think they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take the party back and not piss off the MAGA base.'

'(Why is he allowed to use the word 'GOD' when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?),' the POTUS wrote. Calling him a 'low IQ individual', the President said Charlamagne tha God has 'no idea what words are coming out of his mouth, and knows nothing about me or what I have done.' A number of conspiracy theories have surfaced since Epstein's passing. While some contend that Epstein did not commit suicide in jail, others raise the possibility that a number of prominent American politicians were complicit in the financier's illicit operations and that the information is being withheld for unknown reasons. Ahead of 2024 presidential elections, Trump accused Democrats of hiding the truth and declared that he would release several files related to the Epstein trial if reelected to the White House.

Harvard University under fire as US Congressional probe exposes deep ties to Chinese Communist Party
Harvard University, once revered as a bastion of academic excellence and intellectual freedom, is now facing a growing scandal that threatens its reputation and integrity. A congressional investigation has revealed that the Ivy League institution maintained formal partnerships with Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled entities for over a decade, relationships that critics say directly assisted in the training of future CCP leadership. According to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, Reps. John Moolenaar (R-MI), Tim Walberg (R-MI), and Elise Stefanik (R-NY) accused Harvard of actively collaborating with organisations under the control of the CCP's Central Organisation Department. This department is responsible for indoctrinating officials with "Xi Jinping Thought" and selecting leaders for key positions within China's authoritarian regime. Of particular concern is the Harvard Kennedy School's long-standing cooperation with the Chinese Executive Leadership Academy Pudong, an institution controlled by the CCP. Whistleblower testimony indicates that cadres from China's party and government institutions were sent to Harvard as part of their official training, raising alarms about foreign influence on American soil. "Harvard's formal partnership with a CCP-controlled school to train their future leaders raises serious concerns about the CCP's influence in American institutions," said Rep. Moolenaar. "We are committed to uncovering the full extent of these relationships to ensure transparency and protect national interests." The revelations come at a time when Harvard is already under scrutiny. The university is reportedly considering a USD 500 million payout to resolve a standoff with the Biden administration over campus anti-Semitism complaints and controversial DEI policies. But lawmakers argue that financial settlements cannot undo the damage caused by Harvard's entanglement with entities implicated in human rights abuses. In April, The Free Beacon exposed Harvard's past training of members from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a CCP paramilitary group sanctioned by the U.S. for its role in the genocide of Uyghur Muslims. That report prompted congressional leaders to threaten Harvard's tax-exempt Harvard faces a deadline of August 7 to provide Congress with all records relating to its interactions with CCP-affiliated bodies, including any financial or material pressure mounts, the question isn't just whether Harvard broke federal laws or ethical boundaries, but whether one of America's most prestigious universities has willingly served the interests of a foreign authoritarian power.
