'Make America Hot Again' socials bring young conservative singles together in New York City
While New York City is a Democratic stronghold, young conservative movers and shakers are meeting other singles at a new series of events in the Big Apple. Political polarization, particularly that between young men and women, has become an internationally recognized phenomenon in recent years. One example from pop culture erupted earlier this spring when "Love is Blind" stars Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga did not get married during the season finale because Carton had reservations about Mezzenga's religious and political viewpoints, including on the Black Lives Matter movement. As this polarization continues, some young conservatives, particularly those in left-leaning cities, are relying on events geared towards their political persuasion to find love. 'Love Is Blind' Star Sara Carton Rejects Ben Mezzenga At The Altar Over Views On Religion, Black Lives Matter Conservative influencer Raquel Debono, 29, spoke to The New York Post about why she founded "Make America Hot Again," which the outlet described as "a cheeky movement throwing parties for young conservatives around NYC at hot spots like downtown's Sincerely, Ophelia and Trump Tower." She touted her events as specifically different from other Republican mixers, declaring, "'We're really just normal people, we're the city conservative," in a recent Instagram video. Read On The Fox News App "With her regular bacchanals that can swell to as many as 300 people, love is definitely in the air," The New York Post's Doree Lewak wrote. Recalling one couple who found romance and got "hot and heavy" at an event in May, Debono commented, "That's why I throw these — I'm trying to find my husband." Dc Matchmaker Says Political Polarization 'On Steroids' As Liberals Refuse To Date Trump Voters, Tesla Owners She reported a male majority at the events, with a 60-40 split in favor of men from the "bro and tech vote." "I have met a few lovely young men, but as they say, the coach doesn't play," Debono said to the New York Post. Brent Morden, the vice president of the New York Young Republican Club, who recently made headlines with a popular gala, touted New York as a great place to find options, "if you know where to look." Dan Huff, the co-founder of Date Right Stuff, an app for conservative singles, told the New York Post that the app saw "tens of thousands of downloads right after the election." Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture The New York Post added that this recent surge "adds to the app's nearly 400,000 downloads as the team focuses on New York with sought-after events that have drawn 'hundreds of attendees and generated strong buzz.'" "There's a spark in New York now, a reawakening," Huff said. The app's chief growth officer, Micaela Bishop, noted, "Our main focus is to build critical masses in these Democratic cities to make sure these people have somewhere to go."Original article source: 'Make America Hot Again' socials bring young conservative singles together in New York City

CCM Health breaks ground for $2.4M child care center in Montevideo, Minnesota
May 31---- As groundbreaking ceremonies go, this one was complicated. Twenty-nine children had first digs at tossing the dirt as hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for a $2.4 million child care center on its Montevideo campus. "This is what it's really about, all these kids," said Brian Lovdahl, CEO of CCM Health, as the 29 children — most of them preschool age — were led by staff from the existing child care center to the site of the groundbreaking. As a point of fact, the rules and regulations involved with child care are complicated too, but worth the navigating, according to Lovdahl. Having child care available is a definite help for the health system's staff. The nearly 350 employees skew younger than is the average for health care facilities in the country, meaning there are many with young children, he explained. The availability of on-campus child care benefits both staff recruitment and retention, according to the CEO. A new provider had no more than inked his contract when the first thing he mentioned was the desire to enroll a child in the center, Lovdahl said. CCM Health became one of the first small health care systems in the country to offer child care services when it opened its existing center in January 2020. It continues to receive inquiries from other systems about how to make it happen, according to Lovdahl. The move into the new facility should happen in October, if not sooner. Groundwork is completed and the footprint for the new facility is readied, all ahead of schedule, according to the CEO. The new, 5,000-square-foot center will offer more than three times the space of the existing facility. The new facility will be licensed for 70 children. The current facility is licensed for 31 children but serves around 40 when counting drop-ins. It is located in a building housing the ambulance operations. The new facility will be located on the site where the original Montevideo Veterans Affairs Clinic stood. The location puts the young children no more than 60 feet away from the nearest doctor in CCM Health's Medical Clinic and Hospital if they should need medical help. It also means nursing mothers can drop over to the center during breaks. Staffing needs led to the decision more than six years ago to open an on-campus child center. Lovdahl said CCM Health was being served by traveling nurses in 2018-19 to meet staffing needs. Permanent staff members expressed an interest in working more hours, he said, but they cited the lack of child care as a major impediment to doing so. It took about eight months from the beginning of the discussions on child care needs to the opening of existing center. In about six months, it reached capacity, and has pretty much stayed at that level ever since, according to Lovdahl. Operating a child care center can be challenging, but Lovdahl pointed out that the value goes well beyond the health care center. The new spaces for the children of CCM Health's employees should free up spaces in other child care operations in Montevideo, he said. As in most communities, there is a gap between the number of available and needed child care spots. Montevideo had a shortage of 145 child care spaces according to a June 2024 analysis by the nonprofit and funded by the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families. The new facility will feature a prairie-style architecture with large windows in its corners. It will be divided inside according to ages. It will hold a commercial kitchen and feature a modern security system. An outdoor patio area will be available. CCM Health had studied the possibility of re-purposing the former Montevideo VA Clinic, which opened in 2002. It was found to be cost-prohibitive to renovate the three-section modular building that had served as the clinic, and it was razed. Lovdahl used the groundbreaking as an opportunity to thank the CCM Health board of directors, Montevideo City Council and the Chippewa County Board of Commissioners for their support of the child care project. The city of Montevideo and Chippewa County jointly own CCM Health. The existing child care area within the ambulance building will be returned to its former use as a training and conference center.

Harvey Weinstein sued for sexual assault by one of Diddy's accusers
A woman who accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2003 has also filed a lawsuit against disgraced Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Crystal McKinney, a former fashion model and winner of MTV's 'Model Mission,' alleges the Miramax co-founder raped her and a friend in a Manhattan hotel room that same year. Harvey Weinstein's lawyers grill ex-model who says he sexually assaulted her in her teens Harvey Weinstein accuser Miriam Haley breaks down in tears during sex assault testimony In a new lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court on Friday, McKinney says the assault occurred after they met Weinstein at a nightclub, where she believed they'd be discussing movie opportunities, TMZ reported. McKinney, who says she was unaware of Weinstein's alleged predatory reputation at the time, brought her roommate — also an aspiring actress — to the meeting, which had been arranged by a modeling executive. According to the suit, the club where they met Weinstein was noisy, so he suggested they head to his suite at the Ritz-Carlton in Battery Park where they'd be better able to hear each other. That's when Weinstein allegedly got the women drunk and forced them to have sex with each other in front of him before he raped them, the suit claims. In a separate lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court last May, McKinney said she met Diddy at a Men's Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown when she was 22. At the dinner, Combs, then 33, plied her with alcohol and promised to use his connections to help further her career, so she accepted his invitation back to his Midtown studio, she said. There, the hip-hop mogul allegedly gave her marijuana, which McKinney believes was laced with a narcotic, before physically forcing her to perform oral sex on him. According to the suit, she later lost consciousness and woke up in a taxi, eventually 'realiz[ing] that she had been sexually assaulted by Combs.' McKinney said the attack led her into 'a tailspin of anxiety and depression,' including a suicide attempt in 2004. She said she didn't report the assault out of fear of violence or retribution from Combs, but knew she had an 'obligation to speak up' following Cassie Ventura's bombshell lawsuit in late 2023. The rapper, whose high-profile sex trafficking trial wrapped its third week on Friday, has denied any wrongdoing. Weinstein is currently being retried on rape and sexual assault charges after his 2020 conviction was overturned by an appeals court. He has similarly denied McKinney's claims.
