Biden Awards Presidential Freedom Medals to Hillary, Soros and others
2025-01-05
More names added to this story from yesterday. The logic of most of these escapes me. Last year President Biden presented one of these to Representative Nancy Pelosi, no longer Speaker of the House. I imagine Dr. Jill regrets that now, on behalf of her husband.
[MSN] WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden on Saturday named former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire political activist and philanthropist George Soros recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, part of a group of 19 people selected for the nation's highest civilian honor.

Also, U2 frontman Bono, actor Michael J. Fox, actor Denzel Washington, chef José Andrés and William Sanford Nye, better known as television's "Bill Nye the Science Guy.", soccer player Lionel Messi of Argentina, NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson and a few others.
---------------
In previous years he awarded, among others, Al Gore, former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, John Kerry, soccer player and activist Megan Rapinoe and UMW President Richard Trumpka.

#12  These baubles have been made worthless and stand for nothing. Next Hunter will be getting a humanitarian award for his work in the drug industry. A pundit this morning on TV mentioned that Hillary probably got her medal for her major fiction work; the Steele Dossier. Or how about the cover-up of Benghazi? How about Obama's Nobel Piece Peace Prize in 2009. Soros for his work in WWII as a young man? All travesties of decency.

#8  ...I believe the words we're looking for here are, "Goddamned disgrace".

The ONLY way to look at this is that it's one last middle finger to us.

Biden's handlers, having done so, have just made the Presidential Freedom Medal a low ball political decoration.

It is no longer a medal that just honors those that have done something great and meaningful for the citizens of the United States of America.

Which gets me back to what I suggested yesterday.
Stopping all OUTGOING Presidents who lost their re-election. From flooding their exit with awards, pardons, and agenda driven executive orders to satisfy their political party and certain elites.

Make any president do it before their Nov. re-election, that way we know and vote on his list of deeds or misdeeds.
