Biden to present Hillary Clinton, George Soros and 17 others the Presidential Medal of Freedom
[NY Post] Rubbing our noses in it. Worst President EVAH
President Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros and several others at a White House ceremony on Saturday.

The White House said Clinton, Soros and the 17 other recipients of the prestigious award are "individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors."

"President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else," the White House said in a statement. "These nineteen Americans are great leaders who have made America a better place. They are great leaders because they are good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world."

Soros, 94, has been one of the most prolific fundraisers for the Democratic Party in recent history.

The Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire gave more than $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterms, according to Federal Election Commission records.

In 2024, Soros funneled another $60 million for House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, records show.

Soros, who has shifted tens of billions of dollars of his personal net worth over to his Open Society Foundations, which funds a multitude of progressive projects around the world, has also heavily invested in races to install far-left district attorneys in major American cities.

Soros-backed DAs, including Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg and Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner, have been criticized by Republicans for pursuing priorities such as criminal justice reform over prosecuting criminals.

The left-wing investor has also come under fire for funneling tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting anti-Israel protesters on college campuses.

The White House described Soros as “a philanthropist who four decades ago founded the Open Society Foundations” and “through his network of foundations … has supported organizations, and projects across the world that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.”

Clinton, 77, will be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom nearly 12 years after her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was bestowed the honor by former President Barack Obama.

#9 They should arrange a tour for these medal winners so that the public could show their deep appreciation in person.

#11 Biden's shamelessly buying goodwill, silence and opportunities by cheapening anything left in the Presidential pantry. It seems clear now just how thin the veneer was wrapping our national trailer-trash Presidency.

#12 About one of the honourees:



Someone on the Biden team had the bright idea. It’s their last hurrah, hopefully for a generation. I would not be surprised if James O’Keefe’s OMG or the Project Veritas team ferrets out who was running things over there — there are people who'll soon be desperate for a sympathetic ear, and all the warnings in the world can’t make them shut up.

#13 There’s this, too:


and anti-Israel campus protests.

Apparently, pumping millions into chaos is now "strengthening democracy."

Soros, 94, backed prosecutors like Alvin Bragg accused of putting woke priorities above public safety.

But don’t worry - the White House calls him a champion of "social justice."

Hillary is also getting a medal - guess Biden decided it was her turn for a consolation prize.

While Joe Biden is the easy target for blame.
Who is really?

Given Joe Biden's serious declined Mental State.
Does anyone seriously think he gets up from a day nap having figured out another way to piss off America, or his family to pocket some more $$$$$, all by himself?

I would suggest the real guilty are DNC Elite, WH inter-circle and Soros' Money.

I would also suggest a Logical Modification to the Executive Pardon powers.

A President, who has lost their incumbent election, may NOT continue to issue pardons or executive orders after the NOV election date, which they have lost.

#15 My wild guess would be the Donilon brothers. Very lefty Catholic influenced decisions. One brother is Biden’s brain and the other is now the head of Blackrock’s think tank.
