While speaking to a crowd at the White House for Black History Month on Wednesday, Trump surprised everyone with a big announcement about Dr. Ben Carson.

He revealed that Carson is going to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor he certainly deserves.

You could tell that the crowd approved on this news when Trump told them it was going to happen.

Dr. Carson truly deserves this award. He is an American patriot.

And Monsanto was bought by Bayer (the renamed IG Farben), so we’ve gone full-circle Nazi.

To the left, Dr. Carson is not black. Not at all.

That’s what we are dealing with.

I have yet to figure out why that geriatric thug has been injected into the Olympic coverage.

Hes about as interesting as a popsicle stick IMO.

“To the left, Dr. Carson is not black.”

Oh I get that. He doesn’t fit the “blacks are oppressed in America” narrative.

Will Carson stay awake during the ceremony? He is the sleepiest, slowest person I have seen since Woodward.

He needs to give it to the two ICE agents that killed Pretti and Good.

All food is organic. Labeling food as 'organic' is just an advertising scam.

It’s been corrupted so as not to be a pure designation, for sure. But load up non-organic poisons and you have non-organic food. You know that.

Now go back to drinking your Roundup juice.

organic isn’t most times glyphosate free. plenty of articles online show that. it blows from other local places that spray glyphosate. Also the organic pesticides organic growers do spray/use aren’t great for consumption either.

we are all just guinea pigs anymore. but some people feel better to pay more for thinking they are safer.

A lack of fathers and rap music.

Both glorify “bitches and gangsta life”. Education is a “white man’s” thing. If you try to get an education you’ll be told, “you think you’re better than us?”.

It’s literally a race to the bottom of what is good for you, celebrated as “culture” and it’s generational, going unquestioned.

Oh, my! I hope Ben is doing well. It seems many people who are awarded the Medal of Freedom die within a year after receiving it...and Ben is a couple of years younger than I!

That is good news. I love that stuff, couldn’t control the invasive weeds here without it.

All the fearporn spread by communist David Fenton and his defamation company Fenton Communications about it hurting bees and frogs is bull crap or else I wouldn’t have bees and frogs all over my place.

Right. But the purposeful direct spraying of glyphosphate on your food as it grows and is harvested is undoubtedly worse.

It should have been banned long before now, not unconstitutionally exempted from the lawsuits that challenge it.

Long ago Thomas Sowell should have received that award.
