The person many regard as the dumbest senator in America ended up red-faced after trying to humiliate the nation’s secretary of defense with an inane question at a congressional hearing on Wednesday. As NBC News reported, Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee regarding the Pentagon’s budget request. During the hearing, he was hit with multiple questions regarding the Iran-Israel conflict and military deployments in Los Angeles. The latter became particularly fiery once dim-witted Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) got her chance to interrogate the defense secretary. Hirono decided to try to humiliate Hegseth with a sick question designed...

Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Peter Welch (D-VT) attended the opening statements of Wednesday morning’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on President Biden’s cognitive fitness. Durbin walked out shortly after delivering remarks, during which he played a video montage attempting to portray former President Donald Trump as mentally unfit. He had already dismissed the hearing, stating, “It a waste of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s time.” Senator Welch echoed those concerns, saying:...

Just something fun to cleanse your timeline: Steve Stewart-Williams @SteveStuWill · Follow “[W]omen consistently have more sensitive hearing than men - by about two decibels on average - regardless of age or where they live… The researchers suggest that this may reflect a universal biological trait rather than a culturally specific pattern.” You weren't imagining those mom superpowers. She really does have spidey senses. The study was led by Dr. Patricia Balaresque from France's Centre for Biodiversity and Environmental Research in Toulouse and was published in Scientific Reports. It looked at 448 people across five countries and measured how the...

A new study suggests that the brain helps regulate the ear’s sensitivity to sound by sending signals to the cochlea, potentially leading to treatments for conditions like tinnitus and hyperacusis. Using advanced imaging technology, researchers observed real-time cochlear activity in awake mice, revealing how the brain compensates for hearing loss. Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, utilized a cutting-edge imaging tool to study the mouse inner ear, leading to a discovery that may aid in the treatment of hearing disorders. A recent study published in the Journal...

The confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon on Thursday was interrupted several times by raging protesters who screamed about transgenderism and other left-wing causes. A person familiar with the situation told the Hill the interruptions were from people affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA), which is the largest teachers’ union in the country. The NEA is staunchly opposed to school choice, and the organization has a history of funneling millions of dollars into far-left politics. The head of the organization notably raked in more than $500,000 in pay and showered liberal causes with money,...

What kind of people are Democrats in terms of human decency? I blogged yesterday about about their execrable behavior to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at his Senate confirmation hearings for the Health and Human Services portfolio in the new Trump administration. They bellowed. They bloviated. They interrupted, while Kennedy remained the perfect gentleman in a setting no gentleman should ever have to endure. But they only got worse after I signed off on that piece. Here's what kind of creature Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is as he preens on the Senate floor, piously intoning "You frighten me": Imagine being such an...

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who was thought to be open to voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services, now says the nominee is in serious trouble after his rocky confirmation hearing. “I don’t think it went well for him today. I don’t think that was a good one,” he said after Kennedy sparred with Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee over his past statements and stance on vaccines. Fetterman said after the bruising hearing that he thinks Kennedy’s nomination may be “moot.” “It’s moot,” he said when asked if he’s still...

An Army veteran who rose to the rank of major and served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hegseth, 44, says he believes that standards have declined and that efforts to expand diversity, equity and inclusion have driven white men away. He complains in his latest book that “woke” generals and the leaders of the elite service academies have left the military dangerously weak and “effeminate” by promoting DEI. He says, “the next commander in chief will need to clean house.” “Turns out, all the ‘diversity’ recruiting messages made certain kids — white kids — feel like they’re not wanted,”...

Who to consult for preliminary considerations? The guys at Costco? Or a licensed ENT? I seem to recall some specific hi-tech test for best results. Which type hearing aid is best? In the ear canal? Outside? Cons? Short battery life? Don't do the job? My situation is I like the tv louder than my wife; can't always hear her; miss dialogue in Bible class at church; etc. thanks
