I do voiceover work on the side, and I'm getting to the point I am booking some work. I want to redo my existing website, which was all hand-coded in HTML ages ago. Can anyone recommend user-friendly software for web design? I've got a host and DNS referrals in place... just want something more professional than what I have at the link. Thoughts?

President Joe Biden addressed a joint session of Congress in Washington on Wednesday evening. He made it a point that America and its allies must work closely together against competition from China. Biden said President Xi Jinping is "deadly earnest on becoming the most significant, consequential nation in the world." The rhetoric from Biden last night is that his administration will continue pressuring China and maintain former President Tump's firm position on Beijing, including tariffs, sanctions, strong defense budget, and heightened military activity in the Pacific. "We are in competition with China and other countries to win the 21st century,"...

Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina made an eloquent, uplifting speech on behalf of Republicans, in response to Joe Biden's quasi–State of the union address. He spoke of racial grievances, real ones, including a recent instance when the Washington Post's bigfoot fact-checker Glenn Kessler attempted to debunk Scott's impoverished background in the Jim Crow South as somehow "privileged," with revolting claims that Scott "had it easy," which was beyond horsehockey. Scott left egg all over Kessler's face. Scott spoke kindly of single mothers, such as his own. He spoke of his own failures and successes, and he blasted Biden for...

In 2016 influential political leaders, activists, and media outlets in Los Angeles said they had a simple solution to homelessness: build more housing. Echoing an argument heard across the country, they claimed that rising rents have thrown people onto the streets and that by directly providing free “permanent supportive housing,” cities can reduce the number of people on the streets and save costs on emergency services.In response, 77% of Los Angeles voters approved a $1.2 billion bond for the construction of 10,000 units for the city’s homeless. That commitment made Los Angeles the most significant testing ground for the “Housing...

According to a recent poll, 51% of Americans think Joe Biden cheated to get into the White House. The breakdown is 74% Republicans and an astounding 30% Democrats think cheating played at least a part of the 2020 Election outcome. In Arizona, the 2020 Election ballots are finally being audited as court battles to stop it continue. Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is predicting an election “panic in 2022.”Armstrong explains, “It means extremely high volatility..."" Despite whatever they want to say, there is a large proportion of the population that do not believe the election. Polls are...

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board said it best: Biden's latest $1.8 trillion plan rejects the old social contract of work for benefits...So much for the “safety net” to prevent poverty.This is now about mainlining benefits to middle-class families so they become addicted to government - and to the Democratic Party that has become the promoting agent of government....All of this adds up to healthy guaranteed annual income largely untied to the social contract that requires work, which is the real path to independence and self-respect.The new taxes are destructive, but their impact will take time to be felt as...

A couple in Homer, Alaska reports the FBI raided their home on Wednesday morning looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop. Twelve agents, FBI, Capitol Police, and other apparent police agents, broke down the door to their home and told Marilyn and Paul Hueper to put their hands up. Paul counted seven guns trained on him when he came out of the bedroom. The agents cuffed the couple and held them for hours. It was a case of mistaken identity, but the FBI now has possession of Marilyn’s HP Probook laptop. The photo above is on the FBI website as...

Ghislaine Maxwell has been pictured with a "black eye" in a photo released by her lawyer. The 59-year-old British socialite, who has pleaded not guilty to charges alleging she recruited teenage girls for ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, said did not know where the bruise came from - but it may be due to her using a sock or towel to shield her eyes. Guards shine light into her prison cell every 15 minutes to make sure she is still breathing and has not tried to kill herself, lawyer Bobbi Sternheim said. The claims are contained in a letter...

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly moving forward with plans to indict former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and the three other former officers charged in George Floyd’s death on federal civil rights charges, sources told FOX 9. It has apparently been in the works for months. There was even a plan to arrest Chauvin if the Hennepin County jury found him not guilty. One legal analyst predicts the charges would put enormous pressure on Thao, Kueng and Lane before their own criminal trial is set to begin in August. All three are charged with...

After more than 25 years of Canadian governments pursuing a hands-off approach to the online world, the government of Justin Trudeau is now pushing Bill C-10, a law that would see Canadians subjected to the most regulated internet in the free world. Although pitched as a way to expand Canadian content provisions to the online sphere, the powers of Bill C-10 have expanded considerably in committee, including a provision introduced last week that could conceivably allow the federal government to order the deletion of any Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitter upload made by a Canadian. In comments this week, NDP...

Israel reports dozens of Indian COVID strain cases. The variant is of concern because it consist of two mutations of its protein, which could make it more resistant to the vaccine. The Health Ministry has identified 41 new cases of the Indian coronavirus variant in Israel, including four in people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Israel's genomic sequencing system found that 24 of those infected with the variant, which experts say may be more contagious than other variants, had returned recently from abroad. The other 17 contracted it via community transmission, including five schoolchildren. The Health Ministry and the...

Yes you should, so it will always be pristine when they ask for your papers. Remember to thank the Commandant for his service when they are finished with you.

This thread post is long because it contains over 200 records of reported adverse events in VAERS in which the adverse event description contains the word 'paralysis'. For this reason, if you want to read the comments, you may want to return to the forum and click 'reply' beneath the title of the thread.The vast majority of events including the words paralyzed or paralysis pertain to facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy or other). However, I may have missed records which used 'Bell's Palsy' and omitted the word 'paralysis'.Many reports detail temporary loss of hands/arms and some ability to stand.Approximately 40 detail...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) introduced a bill Wednesday aimed at reducing Chinese control over technology used by the Department of Defense and its contractors. The bill would require defense contractors to disclose where they obtained printed circuit boards, which are an essential component of most complex technology. "A disproportionate amount of the printed circuit boards used in the Department of Defense's electronic systems come from China, where they are vulnerable to sabotage by the Chinese government," Hawley's office said. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed concern about Chinese control of important supply chains. Democratic senators Bob...

The raids took place after government spokesman Ali Rabiei had stated that Iran’s intelligence ministry was investigating the source of a recently-leaked interview with Zarif. The IRGC Intelligence Unit is a rival organisation to the Ministry of Intelligence, which is the country’s equivalent of the CIA and the FBI. In the recorded interview, which was leaked to Iran International last weekend, Zarif had told journalist and economist Saeed Leylaz that he believed Iranian diplomacy had been "sacrificed" to the regime's military interests. He described alleged efforts by former IRGC Quds Force commander Ghasem Soleimani and Russia to sabotage the Joint...

What are women thinking? What are they feeling? What do they WANT FROM US!? So many questions. Luckily, you've got The Babylon Bee, and we know some women. Some of us are even married. So, we went to our wives and told them we were going to write an article explaining facial expressions. They said "That's fine. Everything is fine," so we went ahead and did it, since they obviously approved greatly. Here you go -- every facial expression your wife has and how to translate it:

The video was uploaded to a Russian site showing the failed launch. In the video, the missile is seen launching from the ship, but within moments spins out of control before pointing dangerously back towards the vessel. Fortunately for the crew, the missile appears to break up-mid and falls in multiple pieces down into the sea, yards away from the frigate. But a few seconds after the missile vanishes below the water, some large flashes are shown beneath the surface, and the water is shown bubbling from the heat. It is unclear what could have happened had the missile fallen...
