Who is Holly? Vivek Ramaswamy provides update on white woman assaulted in Cincinnati
Vivek Ramaswamy said that he has spoken to Holly and alleged that she told him local or state officials have not yet reached out to her regarding the incident, and expressed concern about the safety of residents in Cincinnati. He called out the city authorities and the local police for not attending to Holly.
"I spoke to Holly earlier today (the woman tragically assaulted in Cincinnati this weekend)," Ramaswamy wrote. "She's a single working mom who went to a friend's birthday party. 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.
"Holly said not a single local or state official had yet reached out as of earlier this afternoon, other than one police detective. Leftists like to lecture about 'systemic injustice' while thugs turn our turn cities into war zones. I'm done with their excuses."
The incident resulted from a violent brawl on late Friday night and early Saturday morning in Cincinnati's Fourth and Elm Streets. A white couple was attacked by a mob and the video of it was shared on social media, going instantly viral and garnering millions of views.

In the viral video, the man can be seen being repeatedly beaten by the mob, while the woman, Holly, tries to intervene. In the process, she also gets beaten up by the mob, and the video shows her unconscious and bleeding from the nose.
The incident has sparked outrage, especially owing to the fact that the victims are white and the perpetrators are a crowd of mostly white people. Cincinnati police are actively investigating; five suspects have already been charged, with more arrests anticipated. The charges remain sealed.

Why is India's Tejas MK2 much better than F-35 from US? Indigenous fighter jet can... After the way Trump has dropped the bomb of 25% tariff on India , it is also being feared that the US President is angry about not being able to sell his goods? This development comes at a time when there is a lot of discussion going on about the deal of the fifth generation US stealth fighter jet F-35. In such a situation, it is important to understand that in what sense is the Tejas Mk2 that India is making in its country any less than its expensive fighter jet? What is the difference between F-35, Tejas Mk2? US company Lockheed Martin makes mainly three versions of F-35 fighter aircraft. The price of the lowest version of these is more than $82.5 million. The price of F-35B, which was stuck in Kerala for 39 days, is $109 million. On the other hand, the estimated cost of Tejas MK2, which Indian company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is working on, is going to be only around $50 to $60 million. Speed and strength: The American fighter jet F-35 uses a 43,000lb thrust engine. Its speed is Mach 1.6. That is, 1,960 kilometers per hour. Whereas, the GE F414 engine being used in Tejas Mk2 produces a thrust of 98 kilonewtons. That means its speed will be Mach 1.8, that is, it can tear through the winds at a speed of 2,205 kilometers per hour. F-35 is equipped with integrated AESA radar, 360 degree camera and advanced data fusion equipment, which gives the pilot information about the real time location of enemies. At the same time, our Tejas Mk2 is also being equipped with the best AESA radar, infrared search and track equipment is being installed in it and the cockpit is being designed in such a smart way that many targets can be tracked simultaneously. Weapon and payload capacity: The F-35 can carry up to 8,160 kg of weapons on a mission. Tejas Mk2, despite being a 4.5 generation fighter, is capable of carrying 6,500 kg of weapons. The Indian fighter is also capable of flying simultaneously carrying indigenous, western and Russian weapons, bombs and missiles. Firepower and flight capability: The combat range of the F-35 is about 1,500 km, while it can fly up to 2,200 km in a single round without refueling (ferry range). The combat range of Tejas Mk2 is about 3,000 km (with drops or additional tanks); and due to the ability to refuel in the air and larger fuel tanks, it is able to fly for longer missions. Meaning, here too the difference between the two is clear. How much difference does stealth technology make? The F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet. This technology enables it to remain hidden from enemy radars, infrared sensors and other detection systems. All this is due to its special design and the special material used in it, which enables it to deceive the radar. While radar-evading elements have been installed in Tejas Mk2, its improved and new canard wings make it 75% more advanced than its previous version.

Indian refiners still buying oil from Russia, report claims amid Trump's 'halt' remark
Indian refiners reportedly keep buying Russian crude oil for economic reasons, despite US President Trump's claim that India stopped. Earlier, the ministry of external affairs had defended India's longstanding partnership with Russia read more Advertisement Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. File image/ Reuters Indian refiners have not stopped buying crude oil from Russia, news agency ANI has reported, citing sources in the government. 'Their supply decisions are guided by price, grade of crude, inventories, logistics and other economic factors,' the agency quoted the source as saying. The sources also highlighted Russia's crucial place in the global oil market, being the world's second-largest exporter of crude. Fears of Russian oil being pushed out of the market and the consequent dislocation of traditional trade flows drove dated Brent crude prices to soar to US$137 per barrel in March 2022. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'In this challenging environment, India, as the world's third-largest energy consumer with 85 per cent crude oil import dependence, strategically adapted its sourcing to secure affordable energy while fully adhering to international norms,' said the sources. Earlier, US President Donald Trump on Friday (August 1) said he heard that India is no longer purchasing oil from Russia. While speaking to the reporters, Trump went on to describe the alleged halting of oil purchases as a 'good step'. 'I understand India no longer is going to be buying oil from Russia,' Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for his weekend trip to his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey. 'That's what I heard. I don't know if that's right or not, but that's a good step. We'll see what happens,' he said. Trump's statement came after news agency Reuters reported, citing sources, that Indian state-owned refineries suspended Russian oil purchases last week amid threats of tariffs from US and narrowing price discounts. Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Friday responded to the criticisms hurled by the Trump administration and defended India's longstanding partnership with Russia. 'India and Russia share a steady and time-tested partnership,' he said. Jaiswal also reaffirmed the strength of the India-US relationship, noting it is based on 'shared interests, democratic values, and robust people-to-people ties,' and expressed confidence that bilateral relations would continue to move forward despite current tensions.
