You Won’t Believe Who Got America’s Top Honor – Hint: It’s the Usual Suspects

In a move that only Washington could defend, President Joe Biden decided to hand out the Presidential Medal of Freedom like it’s candy at a parade. On a Saturday colder than the reception this news is getting, Biden gave the country’s highest civilian award to 19 folks who, let’s be real, probably just got it for being on the right guest list.

Hillary Clinton, fresh off her latest bid to remind everyone she still exists, got a standing ovation – which was probably more for the nostalgia than her actual contributions. She brought the whole family, turning the White House into a Clinton reunion, because why not make it a family affair?

Then there’s George Soros, the guy who’s made a career out of pulling the strings behind the scenes. His son, Alex, took the medal for him because, you know, Soros is too busy with his global puppet show to show up. In his statement, he thanked America for the freedom and prosperity he’s allegedly brought, which, if you squint hard enough, might seem ironic.

And Denzel Washington, the only one in this trio who doesn’t make you raise an eyebrow, got his medal too. But let’s face it, in a ceremony like this, he’s just there to make the other choices look less questionable.

Biden, in his speech, praised these “extraordinary” people for shaping America’s culture and cause. But if you ask me, it’s the same old song and dance where the establishment pats itself on the back. Four of these medals were even given posthumously, because even death can’t stop you from getting an award if you’ve got the right connections.

All in all, it was a day where the White House became less about governance and more about giving out gold stars to friends and allies, proving once again that in politics, it’s not what you do, but who you know.
