MEDAL OF FREEDOM: The honor is now a joke

| January 8, 2025 1:00 AM

Do you need more evidence?

Still think President Biden is in control of his faculties?

“The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the United States, given to individuals who have made exceptionally meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the nation, world peace, culture, or other significant public or private endeavors.”

The left has just made this honor a joke. Hillary Clinton, do you remember her private email server and the deleted records? How about Whitewater or the Clinton foundation? Remember when the FBI began looking into the foundation in 2015 for pay for play allegations, probably not because it was hidden. Once out of office donations stopped.

George Soros, the definition of the far left and proponent of an open society, meaning no borders. His money helped elect district attorneys in many states, especially in California. D.A. George Gascon is probably the worst in California history. It was great for criminals, but not for the honest citizens. He barred prosecutors in his office from seeking the death penalty and various sentencing enhancements, stopped the prosecution of juveniles as adults and ended cash bail for misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. It took more than four years before he was booted out of office.

Do I personally blame Mr. Biden, not really. It’s his handlers, who take advantage of his declining health and his wife, who does not protect him from this elder abuse.

The far left has governed for quite some time because good citizens allowed it and did not stand up. It seems like many of those citizens finally stood up.
