This is a MAJOR AWARD!.....................

If you thought awarding Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson the Presidential Citizens Award was Biden giving the middle finger to America on his way out the door, you ain't seen nothing yet.
We watched as Joe Biden (and his handlers) continued to dishonor the Office of the Presidency as he finally exits the political stage in little more than two weeks. Last week, in a clearly partisan effort, he cheapened the prestige of the nation’s second highest civilian honor, the Presidential Citizens Award, awarding it to J6 Committee chair and vice chair Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney who were complicit in deleting records before the GOP retook control of the House of Representatives in 2022. But on Saturday, he outdid himself with many of his selections for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor.
First, let’s look at the list (in alphabetical order):
José Andrés, Bono, Ashton B. Carter (posthumous), Hillary Clinton, Michael J. Fox , Tim Gill, Jane Goodall, Fannie Lou Hamer (posthumous), Earvin Johnson , Robert F. Kennedy (posthumous), Ralph Lauren, Lionel Messi, Bill Nye, George W. Romney (posthumous), David M. Rubenstein, George Soros, George Stevens Jr., Denzel Washington, Anna Wintour
While several on the list are deserving of the honor for their humanitarian efforts (Andres, Bono, Hammer), public service (Kennedy), philanthropy (Fox, Gill, Washington), science (Goodall, Nye), and artistic endeavors (Stevens), several are not. Let’s start with the two most egregious and notorious figures on this list: George Soros (born György Schwartz) and Hillary Clinton.
The Hungarian-born Soros, possibly the largest Democrat and progressive mega-donor in U.S. history, is a hedge-fund investor and currency speculator responsible for breaking the Bank of England in 1992. Since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1961, he has immersed himself in American politics, funding Democrat candidates and far-left prosecutors like Alvin Bragg, Larry Krasner, George Gascón, Chesa Boudin, and dozens of others who have been more concerned with social justice and persecuting Donald Trump than prosecuting violent criminals that threaten everyday Americans. His activities over the past 40 years should be closely examined and investigated by incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi. If it is found that he’s violated any U.S. laws that result in a conviction, he should be stripped immediately of his U.S. citizenship and deported to Hungary, where he is vilified by most Hungarians and will not be welcomed with open arms.
What can we say that has not already been said about career criminal Hillary Clinton, the unsuccessful Democrat presidential candidate in 2016? She has a long history of being one of the most polarizing figures in American politics. Starting as the wife of then-Arkansas governor Bill Clinton with the Whitewater scandal, then as First Lady, where she accepted her husband’s dalliances with interns within the People’s House. She is also responsible, as President Obama’s Secretary of State, for turning Libya into a failed state when she boasted to Democrat activist CBS “journalist” Leslie Stahl, “We came, we saw, he died,” about the killing of Muammar al-Gaddafi. At the time of its broadcast, watching this many accused Clinton of being a psychopath. You decide.
Let’s remember her brazen lawlessness in unilaterally transferring twenty percent of U.S. uranium deposits to Russia in exchange for “charitable donations” to the Clinton Global Initiative. Let’s also remember her purposely destroying emails and government-issued mobile phones in criminal violation of Congressional subpoenas. A reprehensible figure by every measurement standard, Clinton is probably best known for vilifying over a quarter of her fellow Americans with her infamous 2016 “Basket of Deplorables” speech that probably ended any chances of her being elected the first female president. Does Clinton really deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom? We say… not.
Most of the rest of the list, with few exceptions—George Romney (Mitt’s father) and Robert Kennedy (Robert Jr’s father)—are a collection of Democrat campaign financial bundlers and big-dollar contributors. Some on the list, as with Soros, are not even native-born Americans, like Conde Nast’s Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Chief Content Officer, Anna Wintour. Fashion icon Wintour put a Democrat presidential candidate on the cover of Vogue three weeks before the 2024 election, clearly an in-kind campaign contribution for Kamala Harris. This is in addition to the tens of millions of dollars she’s bundled and raised for the Democrat Party since 2000. If this isn’t selling out the prestige of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, we don’t know what is.
Who is missing from his list? Let’s start with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, who in 2020 gave almost half a billion dollars to Democrat causes that helped knowingly elect a cognitively challenged president. We didn’t see Barbra Streisand on the list either. How could Dementia Joe (or his puppet masters) miss her? Maybe the next Democrat president, hopefully there will never be one, can further cheapen this award, rendering it utterly meaningless.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom once meant something. Over the years it has been awarded to notable AMERICANS (but you do not need to be an American citizen to receive the award), the likes of John Franklin Enders (Kennedy), Edward R. Morrow (Johnson), Neil Armstrong (Nixon), James A. Michener (Ford), Tennessee Williams (Carter), Jackie Robinson (Reagan), Jimmy Doolittle (Bush), Simon Wiesenthal (Clinton), Pope John Paul II (Bush), John Glenn (Obama), and Antonin Scalia (Trump).
We can speculate that the criteria for Biden choosing this particular group for the award had little to do with actual achievement. Could it be possible that the Presidential Medal of Freedom was issued to those promising to donate to Biden’s presidential library? Looking at the sketchy behavior of this president and his family over the past few decades, we would not rule this out.
Like almost everything he’s touched in his 50+ years of government service, Biden has cheapened the Presidential Medal of Freedom, turning it into a partisan act and cementing his legacy as the most corrupt and divisive president in our country’s 248-year history. Once again, Joe Biden has acted solely in his own (and his family’s) best interests and proven over and over how little regard he has for the American people and the office of the presidency.
Jimmy Carter can truly rest in peace now. When Biden exits office in disgrace on January 20, 2025, he cements his legacy as the worst post-World War Two president, possibly in U.S. history overall. Way to go, Joe!
When saying Joe was the worst, we must remember that it is really 0bama doing these things. Biden is just a dementia riddled pedo perv.
There. Fixed it.
Nye is a pseudoscientists. Nothing, but science showman, with perch for pushing global warming hoax.
Get used to it folks, I’m pretty confident there’s going to be a fresh outrage every day for the next 2 weeks.
Call it the taterhead biden F YOU America farewell tour.
I know Soros is absolute garbage. Soros is an evil man, but I’m not sure about his goal? Does he just want to watch the world burn?
Satan couldn’t attend. He was officiating over a black mass at the DNC headquarters and videoed live to all Democrat politicians nationwide. He will be receiving his later at a cabinet meeting when he accepts a human sacrifice.
Yes- he destroys nations- that is his legacy
Rush Limbaugh (Trump). I miss Rush.
science (Goodall, Nye)
—
Nye is a fake scientist, deserving of nothing, and certainly not a prestigious award.
When saying it’s really Obama doing these things, we must remember that Obama was a low-life puppet picked out of the puppet box because he checked a few boxes.
This myth that Bathhouse Barry is some kind of mastermind - makes me wonder what people are smoking.
More frat house pranks....he should grow up
Nye is a fake scientist climate change advocate.
Nye is a mechanical engineer who plays a scientist for kids on TV.
He’s Captain Klangaroo.
These Dems have mental illness combined with TDS and hatred for conservatives and America.

Yes. Power and control are what motivate him. He destroyed or tried to destroy the economies of other countries as well as the US. Other countries booted him out because of what he did. Not us. He basically runs our country. IMO. He is a Narcissistic Sociopath and this is what they do.
Honoring George Soros is a criminal act.
This is a MAJOR AWARD!.....................
Nye is a fake scientist who jumped on the climate change bandwagon to bolster his flagging career
