The diverse group of names from politics to activists and entertainment include Biden’s 2020 Democratic primary opponents and former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Vice President Al Gore, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Jim Clyburn, Elizabeth Dole and recent Biden Climate Envoy and former Sec. of State John Kerry.
The “grandmother of Juneteenth,” Opal Lee, and Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard who was abducted and brutally killed in 1998 because he was gay will also be honored.

What a joke.
I think JEWnteenth is more appropriate this year consider they way Biden’s base are fast-becoming carbon copies of Hitler’s anti-Semitic Brownshirts.
There will be enough hot air in that room to finish off the planet.
Isn’t campaign season wonderful?
Wasn’t Shepard killed as a result of a drug deal, not because he was gay? And the left is lying avout it?
But it’s not misinformation when they do it.
At least the Purple Heart still means something.
Can’t say the same for the Academy Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Peace Prize, and now the Presidential Medal of Freedom (among many others).
Inconvenient Algore ,LOL

Rush is sending his back . . . . . we already know the true heroes of/in America.
Of course he is.
😂😂😂🖕. Merely shows how meaningless these and other formerly “prestigious” awards are. Just pass them out like candy to unworthy recipients. Hey branDUHn cabal.....🖕
It becomes absolutely meaningless at that point.
From Wikipedia (and not as biased as usual) including my additions in brackets:
“In 2013 [Stephen] Jimenez [himself a homosexual] published The Book of Matt, an analysis of the murder of Matthew Shephard. Jimenez first visited Laramie shortly after the murder, planning to write a screenplay and believing that the murder was a straightforward homophobic killing.[20] Jimenez spent 13 years researching the murder, and came to the conclusion that Matthew and one of the men convicted of his murder were involved in the illegal trade in crystal meth.[21][22] Jimenez has said his motivation for writing the book as a desire to show that “the popular narrative (of homophobic murder) served a purpose, but it’s only one thread of a bigger, richer, more challenging story whose lessons we have barely learned. To avoid topics of addiction, including how crystal meth ravaged the queer community (and Matt’s life), is not helpful to anyone.
[if I remember correctly, I think Jimenez even stated that it was probable that Shepard had engaged in sex with one of his killers]
This is the corniest piece of bullcrap ever conceived. This is like giving an award to a mole on your butt.
A Circle Jerk by a Circle of Jerks...
When John Kennedy established this I think it was to honor those that had made some sort of positive contribution to the Nation. In the last 40 years or so that has been lost and it seems too many have gotten this honor for no real reason, especially too many celebrities and athletes.

The leftists are far from running out of middle fingers for most Americans.
