The B actress of no consequence now fancies herself a voice worth listening to. The royals must be delighted, once again, with Harry's choice.


Tucked into the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation plan is a national paid leave program that would offer 12 weeks to new parents, but as Democrats work to trim down the package to fit to a price tag Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., would approve of, but Biden informed Democrats that he would have to trim that number down to four weeks.

Progressives pushed back, with 15 Senate Democrats led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand writing to Schumer and Pelosi backing a more robust paid family and medical leave program.

The paid leave debate opened back up this week after it was revealed that Sec. Pete Buttigieg had been on paid leave after the birth of his twin newborns since mid-August.

Some on the right noted his absence in the midst of a supply chain crisis and rampant inflation, while the White House defended him, arguing that all Americans should be entitled to paid leave at the birth of a child.

The only mixed-race whore more worthless than Kamala Harris is Meghan Markle.

Where in the world are they going to find enough employees for a program like this? Schools can't even find actual teachers

That’s why you get short term disability insurance for cheap af if you want paid maternity leave.

I might be for this program for someone that went through childbirth and is keep the young child but never will be for this....

#1) He didn't birth these Kidds
#2A) How are they his? pre-birth?
#2B) If you say he adopted them and are now his? does his husband/wife get free time off as well? What about the birthing mother & father? do they also get off 12 weeks?
#3) Let's go Brandon

Well find a single mother in the hood and foot her bill. Don’t even have to do that. Just show up at a daycare and pay someone’s bill. Why not? You like the idea.

I like shooting at the range… so I pay range fees. Same thing.
