Washington D.C.: President Joe Biden announced recipients of Medal of Freedom on Saturday January 04, 2025, which will be the last of the awards given by President Biden in his last and only term in office.

Some of these names may disappoint the public and also leave people thinking why President Biden gave some of these people such a high honor when the did despicable things in there lives.

The following people received the Medal of Freedom:

José Andrés is a Spanish-American culinary innovator, who helped provide relief to communities affected by natural disasters and conflict around the world.

Dr. Jane Goodall is a ethologist and conservationist who did research and transformed the understanding of primates and human evolution.

The late Robert Francis Kennedy was honored and remembered for his work as the U.S. Attorney General who combated racial segregation.  Robert also served as the 64th United States Senator and also made a run for the President of the United States when he was assassinated on June 6, 1968.

Paul David Hewson (BONO) is an Irish singer-songwriter for the rock band U2 and he also an activist for social justice causes. Bono is a founding member, the lead vocalist, and primary lyricist for the band.  We are not sure why musicians and actors are nominated for this award as this award was created to recognize people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, or world peace, or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

Ashton Baldwin Carter was government official who past away on October 24, 2022.  He served served as the 25th Secretary of Defense for the United States of America.  His career prior to being in government, he began career as physicist.

Michael J. Fox is an Canadian American actor and activist who won five Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and one Grammy Award.  Again, we would say why would an actor get this award?  In Michael J. Fox's case, he came down with Parkinson disease and worked on starting research into Parkinson after being diagnosed with the disorder.  In 2000, Michael J. Fox founded the Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and this is why Mr. Fox qualifies for this high honor.

Tim Gill is computer software programmer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of software company Quark, Inc who worked to advanced LGBTQI rights and equality.  We really don't think being company owner, wealthy or gay should qualify any person to a medal of this statute.

Fannie Lou Hamer was founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Mrs. Hamer become more involved in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee after these incidents of not being able to vote, she challenged the exclusion of Black voices in the political system and laid the groundwork for the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  Mrs. Hamer passed away March 14, 1977.

Ralph Lauren is an American fashion designer, philanthropist, and billionaire businessman in the fashion industry. Mr. Lauren served two years in the United States Army.  In 2012, Ralph Lauren made a $35,800 donation to the Obama Victory Fund.  Mr. Lauren has also made regular small donations to U.S. Democratic candidates according to Campaign Money.  Other than being a veteran, Mr. Lauren really has no significant contribution that would qualify him to get a medal of freedom.  Maybe, Biden, Obama, and democrats think that making a donation to the Democrat party is a qualifier for the Medal of Freedom?

Earvin “Magic” Johnson is a retired basketball player who helped lead his team to five championships.  Mr. Johnson is successful entrepreneur and philanthropist.  Magic Johnson started a Foundation that develops programs and supports community-based organizations that address the educational, health and social needs of ethnically diverse, urban communities.

Lionel Messi is Argentine professional footballer or soccer player.  Lionel Messi was signed by Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami CF and was named MLS Most Valuable Player following the conclusion of the 2024 regular season.  Messi popularity was among the Time 100, an annual list of the world's most influential people, in 2011, 2012 and 2023.  Lionel Messi Messi was the world's highest-paid footballer for five years out of six between 2009 and 2014.  Messi has been involved in charitable efforts aimed at vulnerable children, a commitment that stems in part from the medical difficulties he faced in his own childhood.  Messi founded his own charitable organization, the Leo Messi Foundation, which supports access to health care, education, and sport for children.

William Sanford Nye is science communicator, television presenter, and former mechanical engineer.  He was a TV host that did basic scientific experiments on TV and influenced generations of American students as “Bill Nye the Science Guy.”  Mr. Nye began his career as a mechanical engineer for Boeing in Seattle, Washington where he invented a hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on 747 airplanes.  Mr Nye, also applied four times for NASA's astronaut training program, but was unsuccessfully.  Nye holds three United States patents.  Mr Nye has recieved a multitude of Awards and honors during his career.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is wife and first lady of Former President Bill Clinton.  Mrs. Clinton also was a U.S. Senator for New York and was chosen by former President Obama to be the Secretary of the State.  After serving as Secretary of State, she became the first woman nominated for president by a major United States political party, but ended up losing to Former and President Elect Donald J. Trump.  Her career has been stained by her actions of trying to set up the Former President with being a Russia spy by funding Steele Dosier, which was fake and seeked to defame President Trump.  Hillary Clinton was investigate by the FBI, but they did nothing.  The Federal Election Commissioned fined Hillary Clinton's' campaign and DNC over fake Trump-Russia dossier research that Hillary Clinton paid to have made.  Steels memos were leaked in January 2017, weeks before Trump took office and it setup the Former President with two unsuccessful impeachments.  The Clinton campaign and the DNC never conceded that they violated campaign finance laws, but they agreed to drop their denials and accept the civil fines the FEC lodged against them.  This tarnish the career of Hillary Clinton and we wonder why anyone would give her such a prestigious medal of freedom for what she did and how much havoc she caused the former President and the United States, which basically divided our country for many years.

George Romney was a businessman who served as the chairman and president of American Motors Corporation.  A public servant, he later served as both the 43rd Governor of Michigan and the 3rd Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and was 2012 Republican presidential nominee.  In 1954, Mr. Romney became an executive vice president of American Motors Corporation and was later named AMC's president and chairman of the board after George W. Mason passed away.  Mr. Romney supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was under consideration by Congress. By supporting the Civil Right Act of 1964, brought criticism from some in his own church.  Mr. Romney became chair and CEO of the National Center for Voluntary Action and was a Volunteer at the National Center for Citizen Involvement.

David Rubenstein is co-founder and co-chair of The Carlyle Group.  Rubenstein is renowned for his philanthropy and generous support for the restoration of historic landmarks and the country’s cultural institutions.

According the White House, George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations.  George Soros's network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.

We profoundly disagree with the White House claims.  According to tons of peer reviewed information, George Soro has a pretty ugly record on human right and social justice.  George Soros is person who is driven only by money, no matter what the cost.  George done some pretty nasty things in his life and apparently he has no issue with his conscience either.  George Soros has no compunction whatsoever, this man will callously use and abuse others for his own benefit.  Soros definitely has no shame and will do the unthinkable without any remorse or regret whatsoever.

These type of people are extremely dangerous.  Don't believe us, then just look at what the U.S. congressional record says and you too will come to the same conclusion about George Soros.  We really don't know how anyone in their right mind would think that this man would be deserving of the Medal of Honor.  This man is so scary, that we would think the devil would be frighten of him.  It's obvious that President Biden has taken this country to a new low and has destroyed our spirit, nobility, and the moral character of this country.  We have no doubt that in next hundred years, Biden will still be labeled the worst president in the history of this country.
