Megan Rapinoe. Really? Wow Biden really has lost it.

[tkjohnny]

Really... Rapinoe and Biles getting the Medal of Freedom FOR WHAT? One quits on her team and country, the other kneels in protest and stomps on the flag. Disgusting and ashamed...

That wasn't at all what I had expected.

Biles does not deserve anything shes a quitter if any one deserves a medal its michael phelps not her not a quitter.

Only decent thing Biden has done is giving the medal of Freedom to Denzel Washington. I like Denzel and the way he converses with people. I don't believe he's racist and he has a very good way of presenting his views without casting blame or insults. That's a gift not many people have. I have to think though, In the back of my mind, If there was a motive on Biden's part for doing this..?

Steve jobs, you mean Steve Jobs the guy who literally makes iPhones off the backs of enslaved workers, gets a medal of freedom?

"And I saw the dead,  small and great, standing before God,  and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it,  and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)


Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,  that whoever BELIEVES in Him 
should
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)


The gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.. ✝️

The 9th Supreme Court Justice was added in 1869 "The Judiciary Act of 1869" to match the number of circuit courts we had in this country. We now have 13 circuit courts, it is our responsibility as loyal American citizens to demand they correct this mistake. Appoint 4 more justices NOW!

Why not Bidens favorite…Zelensky (leader of our 51st state called Ukraine)

Not one of them worth a metal, go figure

I feel these are great choices, but there’s only one other that wasn’t mention, “ME”. I’m just saying. I always hear that I’m a good person. It should be acknowledged, and rewarded. 🤪🤪🤪

Biles & Rapinoe are a joke. What a disgrace to the meaning of the award and our country.

Biden needs an award for best president in history!
