Biden awards Pope Francis medal of freedom, highest US civilian honor

U.S. President Joe Biden spoke with Pope Francis on Saturday and awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction, the nation's highest civilian honor, the White House said. It was the first time during his four years in office that Biden awarded the medal "with distinction," it said. Biden, 82, leaves office on Jan. 20. To oversee the federal response to the fires in California, he canceled a trip to Rome this week, where he was due to meet Francis in person. A lifelong Catholic who has met the pope several times, Biden told reporters on Friday that he was disappointed to cancel the trip, but felt it was more important to stay in Washington. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is presented individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the U.S., world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.

The medal has been rendered meaningless now. Everything the filthy rats touch they turn to $hit.

The awardees last week pretty much indicate the “value” of the award these days. Zip diddlee!

Pope: Don’t need it. Once the snowball down the hill effect started with Biden giving out medals like samples at a supermarket opening, I got a couple of them in my breakfast cereal boxes. Fruit Loops, by the way. ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ‡

I just finished a book on Ted Bundy that just came out a few months ago, written by his cousin, close to him whole life and including during the entire killing season of his. She had no clue of course and kept silent all these years. Was a real pageturner. He was part of her inner circle. She loved him as a cousin, he put up the entire ‘other personality’.
