JOE CONCHA: Biden’s shameful oprahization of medals that once meant something

If President Biden’s goal is to anger as many Americans as possible as he storms his way out the door, he is absolutely exceeding these dubious expectations.

Exhibit A is Biden’s (or whoever runs the White House these days) decision to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to election deniers Hillary Clinton and George Soros, who have done more damage to the United States as private citizens for many years. than anyone else in the country.

The oprahization of handing out medals (and YOU get a medal! And YOU get a medal!) to Clinton and Soros comes shortly after Biden issued a blanket pardon to his son, Hunter, after repeatedly promising not to do it. And after awarding the Presidential Citizens’ Medal to Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., for their work on the Jan. 6 committee that banned cross-examination of any hand-picked “witnesses.” And for this part, in 2004, Thompson voted against the certification of the 2004 presidential election won by George W. Bush.

The Soros Prize is particularly infuriating given what his activist billions have done, particularly to the American justice system. Soros-funded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a prime example. Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC in 2021, which then donated $1 million to Bragg’s campaign shortly after. Bragg, for his part, has transformed cities like New York into dystopian hellscapes, particularly in the subways, where murders and stabbings are currently occurring at an alarming rate.

Take the example of Jamar Banks, who recently stabbed two New York subway passengers on January 1 and 2. These passengers are in stable condition. Banks has been arrested (check notes) 87 times for crimes including weapons possession, assault, criminal trespass and petit larceny. FOR WHAT. EAST. HE. NOT. INCARCERATED?

Soros’ philosophy is simple: be as soft on crime as possible. Don’t enforce a lot of laws that are already in place. Allow American cities to become third-rate hellscapes. So what is the sitting president of the United States doing? He awarded him one of the most prestigious medals a citizen can receive.

“This is why I will not prosecute most minor offenses through the traditional criminal justice system,” Bragg boasted when he took office in 2021. “I will either dismiss these charges out of hand or offering the accused the opportunity to complete a program without ever setting foot in a courtroom.”

Soros also financed anti-Israel protests, some violent and deadly, which only further divided the country while indoctrinating students into Hamas-loving robots.

One man certainly worthy of receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom is Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran who saved subway passengers from a likely attack or worse from Jordan Neely, who had said he was going to kill innocent people in this subway and didn’t care if he went to jail for it. President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance invited Penny to the recent Army-Navy game, while Biden has yet to say her name.

Fortunately, not everyone was excited to participate in photo ops for the current administration. The world’s most popular athlete, arguably the greatest since Michael Jordan, soccer star Lionel Messi, blew up the event. A “scheduling conflict” was mentioned, but it’s obvious that No. 10 chose not to be a prop.

Biden will become the most unpopular president we have seen in decades.

And on his way out, he devalues ​​once-special awards like the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the point that they are as worthless as his word itself.
