President Joe Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to 19 individuals on Saturday.
The recipients include former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros, as well as a bevy of celebrities from the world of entertainment and sports.
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.
A ceremony is to be held later today.
The White House, in making the announcement, declared Clinton, Soros, and the other award winners to be "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,” a statement reads. “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.”

Great leaders? Who made the world a better place? Four men who died in Benghazi are unavailable for comment.
Clinton, whose most significant contribution to the betterment of America was being such a horrendous person that voters couldn't stomach the thought of seeing her in the White House in 2016, leading to the rise of Donald Trump, refused responsibility for the Benghazi terrorist attack in 2012 that killed four Americans.
The then-Secretary of State and President Barack Obama instead deliberately crafted a lie to the public involving an obscure anti-Muslim YouTube video.
She quite famously used a private email server for official communications rather than official State Department email accounts. This led to an FBI investigation revealing that some emails contained classified information. Former FBI Director James Comey allowed her to escape charges based on his contention that she and her aides had been "extremely careless."
And we haven't even touched on the Whitewater scandal. Or how she fleeced Haitian earthquake survivors. That's a person who made the world a better place?
Meanwhile, George Soros and his son Alexander have donated tremendous resources to forcing soft-on-crime DAs into local communities. Violent criminals walk the streets unscathed in major Democrat-run cities. The Soros family is a major reason why.
The Los Angeles Times ran a column in 2018 noting that the left-wing billionaire father was “spending millions of dollars" in an effort “to back would-be prosecutors who want to reduce incarceration … (and) revamp a bail system they contend unfairly imprisons poor people before trial.”
He has helped prop up numerous other pro-crime prosecutors, such as LA’s notorious George Gascón and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
Bragg found clerical errors made by President-elect Trump's former crew to be an unforgivable sin and tried desperately to charge Marine veteran and subway hero Daniel Penny with murder. Yet, he inexplicably released several illegal immigrants who assaulted two NYPD officers earlier this year. (The criminal illegals were later apprehended and given slap-on-the-wrist plea deals.)
Nay. Clinton and Soros have indisputably made America worse by their very presence. And folks on X made their opinions very clear.
"Seriously, two of the worst people on earth. This could be a @TheBabylonBee article with how unbelievable it is," wrote Natalie Danelishen, an administrative assistant at the Free Cities Foundation.
"The standards for this award are a total joke!" another remarked.
One individual quipped, "Well Biden just made the Presidential Medal of Freedom totally worthless."
so the presidential medal of freedom is like the golden globes at this point.....pointless https://t.co/e9lXA0PLNS

The New York Times pointed out that Clinton and Soros receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom is obviously not just a lifetime achievement award for left-wing activists, but they and several others being honored are a shot at his successor.
Among the others earning accolades are George Romney, the late father of Senator Mitt Romney, and magazine editor Anna Wintour, who ridiculously spurned Melania Trump during her time as First Lady but somehow saved two covers for Jill Biden, a woman with the fashion sense of a breakfast taco.
But then, it's clear we've reached that stage of Biden's dismal presidency where he starts handing out awards to people simply for being Trump haters. This was evidenced by his giving the nation's second highest civilian award — the Presidential Citizens Medal - to people like Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson.

Cheney and Thompson earned their participation trophies on the strength of having run a sham committee investigating the mundane protests at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Other notable names to earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Biden later today include actors Michael J. Fox and Denzel Washington, U2 frontman Bono, Bill Nye "The Science Guy," and Lakers legend Magic Johnson.
