President Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros and several others at a White House ceremony on Saturday.

The White House said Clinton, Soros and the 17 other recipients of the prestigious award are "individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors."

"President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else," the White House said in a statement. "These nineteen Americans are great leaders who have made America a better place. They are great leaders because they are good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world."

Soros, 94, has been one of the most prolific fundraisers for the Democratic Party in recent history.

The Hungarian-born hedge-fund billionaire gave more than $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterms, according to Federal Election Commission records.

In 2024, Soros funneled another $60 million for House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, records show.

Soros, who has shifted tens of billions of dollars of his personal net worth over to his Open Society Foundations, which funds a multitude of progressive projects around the world, has also heavily invested in races to install far-left district attorneys in major American cities.

Soros-backed DAs, including Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg and Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner, have been criticized by Republicans for pursuing priorities such as criminal justice reform over prosecuting criminals.

The left-wing investor has also come under fire for funneling tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting anti-Israel protesters on college campuses.

The White House described Soros as “a philanthropist who four decades ago founded the Open Society Foundations” and “through his network of foundations … has supported organizations, and projects across the world that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.”

Clinton, 77, will be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom nearly 12 years after her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was bestowed the honor by former President Barack Obama.

The former first lady, secretary of state and New York senator “made history many times over decades in public service,” the White House said.

In 2016, Clinton made history when she became the first woman nominated for president by a major United States political party.

Her bid to become the nation’s first female president came up short when President-elect Donald Trump defeated her in the 2016 race.

Clinton was the subject of an FBI probe over her use of a private email server during her time in the Obama administration but was never charged with a crime.

At the conclusion of the bureau's investigation, former FBI Director James Comey said that Clinton and her colleagues were "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information" but that the FBI "did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information."

Not bad one.
He has few days left by the way, even though he messed up the world's economy, we've forgiven him.
He should just behave himself in these few days left.

Ojuntana:
Is Biden aware of this award?

LordBiden:
Which economy did he mess up? stop talking shit.

Biden inherited one of the worst economic crisis and a major public health crises,the covid 19 pandemic that trump could not handle.

He managed both perfectly well,his only problem is age not been on his side,he could have beaten trump.

Democrat Puppet Show...

IMAGINATION VS. REALITY

Elon Musk was once popular with Democrats. They bought his Teslas and thought they were doing their part to save the world from ‘climate change.’

Now that Trump has been elected and Musk appointed to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) along with Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk is seen by Democrats as threatening character. That’s only natural since he will recommend cutting $2 trillion from our incredibly bloated and corrupt government.

Democrat politicians including Biden are now calling Musk the ‘unelected president’ who controls Trump as his puppet. They and their discredited media keep repeating this nonsense to divide support for Trump, but this is a forlorn hope for Democrats. People want to drain the swamp, shrink the Big Government Blob, and end the abuse of our legal system and they want Trump and his allies to do it.

Alcoholic Nancy Pelosi released a statement about Elon recently, trying to keep her name in the news despite her broken hip.

“On the eve of a deadline to fulfill our responsibility to meet the needs of the American people by funding the government, unelected billionaire Elon Musk has ordered his puppet President-elect and House Republicans to break the bipartisan agreement reached by House and Senate Democrats and Republicans to keep government open….”

I thought Trump was ‘Putin’s puppet’ Nancy…

Elon is not the type of guy to take guff from his attackers. He said Biden’s puppet masters are at fault. He said Joe is a mere “puppet who talks the words on the teleprompter.”

One of Joe’s puppet masters is George Soros, who spends an annual fortune funding politically-charged nonprofit advocacy organizations and NGOs to sway elections toward far-left Democrats. He spent $6 million on an organization to increase Latino voters and many of them voted for Trump. But we digress.

It is well known that Soros funds the elections of far-left radical district attorneys in major cities across America. Those DAs let criminals go free, thus sparking a crime wave across America. People have had enough of Soros and his DAs.

Soros also spent $60 million during the 2024 election cycle. He bankrolled far-left organizations who want to steer the country toward further destruction.

Joe ran as a moderate to get elected, but it soon became clear that was a lie. His administration has been even further left than Obamas and it was a complete disaster. Everything Joe did was a lie and a failure. Soros wants such an outcome. That’s what he and his puppet Joe Biden have been all about. The destruction of America.
