Shame on Joe

On January 3, U.S. President Joe Biden awarded the Medal of Honor to seven U.S. Army Soldiers:  Private Bruno R. Orig (posthumous), Private First Class Wataru Nakamura (posthumous), Corporal Fred B. McGee (posthumous), Private First Class Charles R. Johnson (posthumous), retired General Richard E. Cavazos (posthumous), Captain Hugh R. Nelson, Jr. (posthumous), and Specialist Fourth Class Kenneth J. David.   

Biden also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to several recipients, including Hilary Clinton, Michael J. Fox, Denzel Washington, U2 frontman Bono, and Inter Miami soccer star Lionel Messi, ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, retired Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, chef and World Central Kitchen founder Josรฉ Andrรฉs, fashion designer Ralph Lauren, science educator Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” LGBTQ activist and entrepreneur Tim Gill, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, and American Film Institute founder George Stevens Jr.

According to the White House, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is “presented to 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.”

The problem is some of these recipients are not as deserving as the Biden administration would like you to believe.

Unfortunately, Biden also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to billionaire philanthropist George Soros as well as Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and Liz Cheney of all people.

Soros is actually a woke, leftist billionaire who finances leftist ideological movements and programs to destroy America as we know it.

According to a recent New York Post report, Soros, who is worth more than $7 billion, โ€œhas spent decades financing radical left wing  causes such as Defund the Police,  and groups including Black Lives Matter.

โ€œHe 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, which have seen crime numbers surge.โ€

He is known for supporting progressive causes such as immigration and criminal justice reform โ€“ and causing a lot of damage along the way. Soros has been accused of funding Black Lives Matter protests and migrant caravans to the southern U.S. border.

Recently, a report surfaced, claiming Free Press, a media group financed by liberal billionaire George Soros, “is looking to incorporate global pressure to push Big Tech platforms to juice their censorship operations before the 2024 U.S. presidential election,” according to the Media Research Center (MRC).

“One of the wealthiest men in the world is using his vast wealth and power to silence regular Americans ahead of the 2024 election. At a time when defending free speech is key, leftists are trying their best to shut down the voices of half of America, especially those who disagree with the radical agenda promoted by Biden, Soros and most Big Tech executives,” MRC Free Speech America vice president Dan Schneider told Fox News Digital.

In fact, the New York Post has even called Soros โ€œthe most dangerous man in Americaโ€, adding that Sorosโ€™ Open Society Foundations budgeted $63 million in 2020 for efforts to shape higher education โ€“ and brainwash young students with progressive, anti-American ideals.

And then thereโ€™s Anna Wintour.

She is allegedly known to be โ€œhurtful and intolerantโ€ toward black Vogue staffers and generally hurtful to a myriad of other people.

According to a Daily Mail articleNew York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer writes that Wintour โ€œhas long been thought of the same way, dating back to her teens in London

โ€œHer one and only friend Vivienne Lasky described Wintour’s petty jealousies and extreme cattiness, saying she was ‘harshly critical and sarcastic’

โ€œLasky said: ‘Anna really cared about appearances. She would point out another girl and say, ”My God, look how fat, she is. Look at her horrible, curly hair”’

โ€œAlex Walker, a highly respected editor at Anna’s father’s paper, the Evening Standard, remembered Anna as an ‘absolute monster’

โ€œFormer Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley said he was left with ‘huge emotional and psychological scars’ from his many years with Wintour

โ€œIn the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, Wintour admitted Vogue has been ‘hurtful and intolerant’ and not done enough to promote black staffers.โ€

Why Biden chose to honor these two horrible Americans is obvious โ€“ one is a major donor to the Democratic Party and the other placed Jill Biden on the cover of Vogue – twice. As a reminder, Wintour refused to allow Melania Trump on the cover of Vogue.

Both Soros and Wintour deserve to be placed in the trash bin of history for their despicable, anti-American behavior โ€“ not rewarded by the equally despicable Biden administration.
