It would be hard to pick a figure that better personified the Democratic Party’s contempt for average Americans than failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It would be hard to think of anyone who has done more recent damage to them than billionaire financier George Soros. But President Joe Biden chose as one of his parting shots to the nation and people he serves to honor both of them with Presidential Medals of Freedom, the highest honor a civilian can be awarded by the United States government.

Soros’s selection is arguably the bigger slap in the face to Americans, especially those who live in jurisdictions where Soros funded district attorneys who refuse to prosecute most property and even violent crimes, encouraging crime waves that have pushed previously Democratic strongholds toward Republicans. In Los Angeles, for example, under Soros-funded DA George Gascon’s soft-on-crime policies, violent crimes rose 12%, robberies climbed 16%, property crimes jumped 20%, auto theft spiked 23%, and shoplifting soared 133%, according to data from the California Department of Justice.
