(STUDY FINDS) -- People love to be loved. However, it turns out many people feel they’re coming up short when it comes to intimacy with their partner. According to a new poll, one in seven Americans in serious relationships say their partner doesn’t do enough to show that they desire them.

The survey of 2,000 sexually active adults in committed relationships finds that nearly every respondent says they believe it’s important to show your partner that you love them (97%) and that you want to be intimate with them (96%).

However, nearly one in five people admit that being physically intimate with their partner has been a low or non-existent priority over the past year (18%).

Former President Donald Trump endorsed North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley to replace Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Monday.

The former president suggested McDaniel could be replaced in an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that aired Feb. 4, days after Federal Election Commission filings showed the RNC had only $8 million cash on hand, its lowest figure since 2014. Trump also announced support for his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair in the statement.

“I think my friend Michael Whatley should be the RNC’s next leader,” Trump said in the statement. “Michael has been with me from the beginning, has done a great job in his home state of North Carolina, and is committed to election integrity, which we must have to keep fraud out of our election so it can’t be stolen.”

“My very talented daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has agreed to run as the RNC Co-Chair,” Trump continued. “Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for. She has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT!”

McDaniel came under fire after Republicans underperformed expectations during the 2022 midterm elections and had a disappointing 2023 election night, losing control of the Virginia General Assembly and failing to unseat Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky.

Lara Trump speaks at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020.

“I have also asked Chris LaCivita, in whom I have full confidence, to assume the role of, in effect, Chief Operating Officer of the Committee,” Trump said in the statement. “Chris will manage the RNC’s day-to-day operations so it will become a fighting machine for 2024 and use all the tools available to win for the American people.”

“This group of three is highly talented, battle-tested, and smart. They have my complete and total endorsement to lead the Republican National Committee,” Trump continued. “Every penny will be used properly.”

"I'm not an expert on AI, but I'm concerned about people that want to make pornographic images using AI that look like real people," the "Silver Spoons" star told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "I think that that's a dangerous road to go down."

Schroder, who is a founding member of the Council on Pornography Reform (CPR), said there needs to be legislation regarding the advent of AI in pornography.

(FOX NEWS) -- An executive producer is sharing behind-the-scenes info about the recent "Jeopardy!" hosting shake-up.

During the "Unscripted Storytellers" panel at the 2024 Television Critics Association's winter press tour, Michael Davies, a showrunner with "Jeopardy!" spoke about the decision to let Mayim Bialik go and make Ken Jennings the sole host.

"When I took over the show, we were really forced into that situation from everything that happened before, the guest hosting period," Davies said, per a report from People. "Mayim was left hosting the primetime versions; I brought in Ken to guest-host once Mayim had her schedule on her FOX sitcom ['Call Me Kat']."

(STUDY FINDS) -- From “How do you get monkeypox?” to “From what happens when you eat mold?” millions of Americans hit up Google to ask health-related questions on a daily basis.

With this in mind, Soliant Health, a health care staffing company, has tapped into Google search data to shed light on the health concerns dominating Americans’ minds as we step into 2024.

The study meticulously analyzed Google searches to pinpoint which health topics each state investigates more frequently than others, including the District of Columbia. The findings illustrate a vast spectrum of health issues, ranging from dietary concerns to infectious diseases, indicative of the various lifestyle, environmental, and demographic influences at play across the country.

(STUDY FINDS) -- We’ve all experienced that ringing feeling in our ears after a loud concert or construction work. For some, the effects are temporary; for others, the hearing damage is permanent. Now, new research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has uncovered the molecular mechanism behind noise-induced hearing loss, pointing to possible treatment options. That includes a potentially game-changing over-the-counter medication that’s now under development.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh say they are testing a drug that has the potential to reverse hearing impairment due to loud noise and also offer protection against future damage.

The researchers identified that noise-induced hearing loss is a result of cellular damage in the inner ear, linked to an excess of free-floating zinc — a mineral crucial for cell function and hearing. They discovered that medications acting as molecular sponges to absorb excess zinc can either recover lost hearing or, when used preemptively, can safeguard against hearing loss.

(CBN NEWS) -- Thousands of people around the world honored young adults and teens with special needs and disabilities for the 10th annual "Night to Shine."

The event was created by the Tim Tebow Foundation in 2015 to share the love of God in a practical way.

"We believe in Jesus as our greatest example, our how, and the answer. He loved us enough to give everything so that we could be reconciled with Him, and as Jesus accomplished His mission to save us from sin and separation from God, He also saved us for the mission of spreading the Gospel and loving people," Tim Tebow explained on X.

Reflect for a moment how dead from the neck up, i.e., a meathead, one must be to argue Biden is competent and coherent enough to be president. Anyone who argues Biden is fit to be in the White House as anything other than a towel dispenser, is either a meathead or a pernicious congenital liar and deceiver.

Biden is a psychologically impaired combination of narcissist and sociopath. Add to his unstable narcissism, his arrogance, egotism and the appearance that he alone is worthy, and you have a variant species of humanoid who at first glance has less of an appetite for sodomizing men and vice versa than his predecessor, Obama, boasts.

I've said many times that Obama exhibits behavior that at best can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual and tin-plated wannabe potentate. This is a factual observation in Biden's case.

Biden's ill-conceived and poorly executed television rebuttal to Special Counsel Robert Hur's scathing report per his handling of classified documents, was a real-time display of Biden's unquestionably unstable mentality and sociopathic behavior.

Biden didn't exhibit the behavior of a stable human being; rather it was behavior that augmented the Hur report. It was clear that Biden suffers from more than poor memory due to old age.

As I wrote in a syndicated article nearly 14 years ago: "There is one concern that even Democrats are increasingly giving voice to and that is – Obama is displaying the hastened signs of a man who is increasingly cracking under the pressure of his own lies. In December 2010, the phrase 'non compos mentis' was referenced [by Democrats] in context to Obama and his rumored dependence on medications to stabilize what are rumored to be wild mood swings." (Unlike Obama Business Owners Did Do It Themselves," July 18, 2012.)

Biden today is the preceding on steroids. He's beyond mentally deficient; he's in a permanent state of confusion and a downward spiral that ultimately culminates in total mental collapse.

If he were just an old, decrepit, fog-brained family member suffering end-of-life cognitive dysfunction brought on by a lifetime of hard drinking and drug abuse, it would be one thing. But, sadly to say, he occupies the top leadership position in the nation.

On both micro and macro levels he's non compos mentis, i.e., "of unsound mind." He literally walks off stage platforms; he falls up the steps of planes; he stares off into space for paralyzing long periods of time in the middle of his speeches; he is incapable of finishing sentences, answering questions; he is a complete embarrassment to himself and the office he holds when he slobbers and drools as he sniffs the hair of young girls and gropes women.

I'm not a psychiatrist nor do I pretend to be one, but I recognize unstable behavior when I see it, and Biden's behavior is becoming even more uncontrollably appalling than in the past. I posit that this behavior is indicative of a person "literally" coming apart at the seams and only barely being held together by drugs and medications that would prevent people from obtaining a CDL license, much less having access to the nation's nuclear codes.

His wife and those who are surrounding him do not have our country's best interest in mind. They are committed to finishing the job for which they have been commissioned. That job is the destruction of Israel and the transmogrification of America into a neo-Leninist Marxian state.

There's only one definable reason and/or rationale for Biden's commitment to goading countries into military action against the United States. His actions are controlled by those possessed by an insatiable demonism that leads his handlers to think that the world must listen and bend to the agenda of hidden-from-sight Erebusic masqueraders. These evil wraith-like calumniators provide Biden and his demonic cabal the potential for bringing America to the brink of war, if not outright war, just as he exits office.
