The facts at hand presumably speak for themselves, but a trifle more vulgarly, I suspect, than facts even usually do.
“Biden awards George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” by Philissa Cramer, JTA, January 6, 2025:
JTA — US President Joe Biden has awarded the United States’ top civilian honor to George Soros, the Holocaust survivor and billionaire donor to progressive and Democratic causes, along with 18 other people.
Biden’s selection of Soros, 94, to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday was notable because Soros’s giving has made him a frequent target of criticism and invective from right-wingers around the world. Some of the criticism has been explicitly antisemitic or resembled age-old conspiracy theories about Jewish power.
The formal comments at the White House ceremony noted Soros’s Jewish identity, saying: “Born into a Jewish family in Hungary, George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world.”
Biden’s decision to give Soros the honor spurred criticism from some conservatives, including Elon Musk, the billionaire who is closely involved with the incoming administration of Donald Trump. Musk called Soros’s award a “travesty” in a post on X, the social media company he owns.
Soros’s son Alex, who assumed the helm of the family’s Open Society Foundations charity last year, accepted the award on behalf of his father….
“Groups behind Israel-bashing protests backing Hamas attacks got $15M-plus from Soros,” by Rich Calder and Matthew Sedacca, New York Post, October 28, 2023:
Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind this month’s pro-Palestine protests, where demonstrators openly cheered Hamas militants’ craven terrorist attacks on Israel.
A Post examination of Open Society Foundations records shows Soros’ grant-making network gave $13.7 million of the money through Tides Center, a deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group that sponsors several nonprofits who’ve justified Hamas’ bloody attacks while claiming Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims.
Tides’ beneficiaries include Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which on the day of the Oct. 7 massacre posted a photo on Instagram of a bulldozer tearing part of Israel’s border fence down and a caption: “Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison… no cage goes unchallenged.”
Members of the Palestinian advocacy group occupied California Rep. Ro Khanna’s office on Oct. 20 to demand he sign a resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza. Adalah’s members also co-sponsored a rally that same day in Bryant Park where hostile demonstrators spewed antisemitic chants and waved a sign that read “I DO NOT CONDEMN HAMAS.”
It also gave $30,000 in 2020 to Desis Rising Up and Moving, another co-sponsor of the Bryant Park protest where 139 people were arrested, financial records show.
Open Society Foundations gave $60,000 in 2018 to the Arab American Association of New York, a group co-founded by politically connected activist Linda Sarsour that helped plan a hate-filled “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest in Bay Ridge on Oct. 21, where protestors called for the eradication of Israel and held a sign of the Israeli flag in a trash basket that read “Please keep the world clean!”
Open Society Foundations also awarded $1.5 million to Adalah’s founding nonprofit, Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, but only $800,000 of it was received before the legal center cut ties with the American organization in 2018. The legal center says its mission is to promote human rights in Israel.
Other Soros-backed, Palestinian advocacy groups whose members have been spewing hate at rallies since the massacre include Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, which received $650,000 and $400,000, respectively.
Both co-sponsored the Bryant Park rally, and its members were among the protestors who converged on the US Capitol complex Oct. 18.
Jewish Voice for Peace also helped occupy Khanna’s office and has blamed Israel for the Oct. 7 attacks, writing on its website: “Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence.”…

soros placed so-called “progressive” DA’s in several states and those people refused to prosecute criminals…including blm, antifa, and those who were paid agitators on college campuses, threatening, vandalizing, etc.
soros is a wanted criminal in Hungary. and since so much of what he has done has been against the Jews, thinking of him as a Jew is like thinking a rattlesnake is a bunny because it sleeps in a rabbit warren in wintertime.
biden also gave the award to hillary clinton, who helped the mozlum brotherhood morsi in Egypt to cheat and steal power. she also helped the Libyans to kill several Americans. As well as her conspiracy against Mr. Trump using the “steel dossier” to paint him as a traitor and Russian operative.
rick says
Soros is the absolute epitome of the self hating Jew who goes even beyond by especially hating Jews who stand up for themselves. Hence his disdain for the whole of Israel.
Wellington says
As bad as Obama and Carter were, Biden as puppet has been even worse. What a disgrace of a man he is. He has no virtues and no honor and he has done immense harm to America and what is left of the free world.
David M says
Hillary Clinton was up there too with her medal, smiling away. The world dodged a bullet when she didn’t become President, she said she would take military action against anyone who launched a cyber attack on the USA.
The fact is all countries do cyber attacks against each other, that means if she had become President we would have had WW3 by now & we’d all be dead. Putin said the same thing.

“Biden Admin Nearly Halves Guantanamo Bay Population with Overnight ‘Secret Mission'”
“President Joe Biden’s pardons and commutations have already made his lame-duck transitional period notorious.
Now, in what The New York Times described as a “secret operation” early Monday, he’s nearly halved the population of the country’s most notorious prison for terrorists and terrorism suspects.”
“He sent Guantanamo Bay prisoners back to the Middle East.
The transfer was announced in an after-the-fact news release from the Defense Department, which stated that 11 Yemeni nationals had been shipped from the American military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the Sultanate of Oman.
All of the men are former members of the terrorist group al-Qaida who were captured in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks, according to NPR.
Two of the men are suspected of having served as bodyguards to the now-deservedly deceased al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, according to the New York Post.”
“The Biden administration was on the cusp of releasing them to Oman back in October 2023 when the plan was “derailed” by objections in Congress, according to the Times.
And there are still objections in Congress.
In a post on the social media platform X, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia called the move “utterly shameful.”
She was replying to a post by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who’d used the same words to describe reports that President-elect Donald Trump planned to pardon some of those convicted for their role in the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.”
The article has comments from several people.
An example: “”The bad news is Biden just released 11 Guantanamo Bay detainees,” he wrote. “The good news is The View just lost its last 11 viewers.” “Conservative radio host Jimmy Failla…”

It’s not Biden. It’s just that the Obama plants in this administration – Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Jake Sullivan, Neera Tandon, et al have all gone rogue, and are putting anything they feel like in front of Biden to rubber-stamp. Things that they wouldn’t have dared do before the election – they’re freely doing now!
I wonder whether the incoming administration can revoke those awards to scum like Soros, Bill Nye & others?

I have written about in depth as to how George Soros is the quintessential self-loathing Jew at:

What is amazing, is that raving right-wing anti-Semites that I have argued with, think, Soros is a Zionist!
As well as the UN!
And the right-wing anti-Semites seem to be more than partial to the FLAT-EARTH theory:

On the other hand, their counterpart left-wing anti-Semites, such as Greta Thunberg, of course embrace the equally ludicrous Catastrophic Climate Change Scam and think:

The “Presidential Medal of Freedom” is now meaningless.
