The Biden Malaise

How America Bounces Back from Joe Biden's Dismal Repeat of the Jimmy Carter Years

De: Kimberley Strassel

Narrado por: Stephanie Richardson, Kimberley Strassel

“In the style of a dogged prosecutor, Strassel builds a devastating case against Joe Biden’s record…THE BIDEN MALAISE is must-read ahead of 2024, as conservative voters prepare to make consequential choices.”―Guy Benson, Fox News & Townhall.com

The bestselling author of Resistance (At All Costs) and The Intimidation Game argues that Joe Biden, like Jimmy Carter before him, has mired the country in weakness, inflation and political unease. ​

Whether in politics or policy, the parallels between the Biden and Carter presidencies are now beyond striking. Two presidents—separated by nearly 50 years—beset by the same domestic and foreign policy morasses, politically swamped by a national ennui. However, THE BIDEN MALAISE will examine why such claims overlook important nuances that show President Biden’s blunders are ultimately far worse.

Our current president inherited a better situation along with the lessons of what not to do from Carter's governance. Biden, captive to an ascendent progressive wing of his party, doubled down on Carter’s mistakes and created crises that were as avoidable as they are now severe. From soaring energy prices and inflation to humiliating foreign policy errors, the Biden administration's political mess is self-imposed. His political handling of these fiascoes—like Carter—has only made his situation worse. Democrats risk a public backlash of the sort that opened the way to the Reagan Revolution.

Award-winning and bestselling journalist Kim Strassel offers a formula for the GOP to capitalize from this mayhem; one that rekindles the bold and reformist approach of the 80s and 90s, an aspirational agenda that puts Americans back in control of their destiny on issues ranging from healthcare, to energy, to entitlements. THE BIDEN MALAISE is a penetrating look at our current political climate and a book that explains how the GOP can use this opportunity to elect a leader who can restore faith in American exceptionalism.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“In the style of a dogged prosecutor, Strassel builds a devastating case against Joe Biden’s record—comparing it, persuasively and unfavorably, to Jimmy Carter’s. But she’s also right that a ‘guilty’ political verdict may not be sufficient for Republicans to secure an achievable and clarifying electoral victory. THE BIDEN MALAISE is must-read ahead of 2024, as conservative voters prepare to make consequential choices.”—Guy Benson, Fox News & Townhall.com

“With characteristic style and pacing Kim Strassel takes her readers back to the future by revisiting the disastrous presidency of Jimmy Carter and comparing it side by side with the first two-plus years of President Biden’s tenure… Rarely has such a deep dive into the history of four-plus decades ago mattered so much to the 20 months ahead of the American electorate.”—Hugh Hewitt, radio talk show host of Salem Radio Network and Washington Post contributing columnist

“The 1970s were a decade of opportunity foregone, and our own decade threatens to become the same. Kim Strassel not only shines a clear light on the record and lessons of the 1970s, but also offers the solutions that could enable us to avoid the tragedy of a repeat.”—Amity Shlaes, Author, Great Society (HarperCollins)

Great Book on How Biden Is Worse than Carter!

President Carter used to be ranked as the worse President in the last 50 years. However, President Biden is worse! Carter at least loved the country and wanted to make or keep the USA as the best world power. However, Biden wants to turn the USA under world power dominance, such as NATO.

I recommend this book. I liked how the author Kimberley Strassel and Stephanie Richardson read this book.

Also, I really liked how Strassel covered other relevant political things not dealing directly with Biden, but the Democrat party. Very good!

Overall comments?
Biden screwed things up. Will People vote for Vice-President Kamala Harris to screw up the USA even worse than Biden? Most probably, if she gets elected as President!

Problems. Strassel got the facts about George Floyd’s death incorrect.
Police Officer Derek Chauvin did NOT kneel on George Floyd’s neck and choke George to death! George Floyd died of Fentanyl and other drugs in his system. George said, “I can’t breathe!” before Chauvin put his knee on Floyd’s Shoulder and back area (per police protocol).
Strassel and her editors need to read: ” They're Lying: The Media, the Left, and the Death of George Floyd” by Liz Collin. It is so sad that Strassel is so smart and wrote a great book and got this fact incorrect!
I still recommend the book!

Wow

Nailed it. Where is the next Reagan who can capture the real America. Please step up. We need you!

I thought I “got it”…

I consider myself politically and historically astute, but Kimberly Strassel ties historical events together in a way that really expanded my knowledge base and understanding, and, the narration by Stephanie Richardson kept it entertaining and fast moving.
It also brought me back to the reasons I voted for Jimmy Carter in my first 2 elections - my emotions - and turned to Ronald Reagan in my 3rd election - my logic, intellect, maturing understanding of cause and effect, and reminded me of how I felt when I realized, back in 1982 or 83 that my Democratic Party had been lying to me and my “Chicago Democrat family” my whole life.
BTW, I was a card-carrying Democratic Union member at the time.
A great read, possibly the best political book I’ve ever listened to or read.
Left or right leaning, you need to take in this book and then spread it around. 😊

Excellent book and right on target!

Kimberly Strassel has really highlighted this time in our history and the incredible opportunity we have to right the course of this country. We need the right candidate to reignite the Reagan Revolution.

Biden presidency.

Biden will go down as the worst president ever.
Excellent book every one should read.

Trump Trump Trump…

Your dad would be so disappointed. This isn’t about Carter/Biden, it’s about finding a way to promote the Fox/uniParty bs narrative. Hating on Americas greatest President because he’s not part of the DC cesspool, he can not be bought & he has exposed the corruption, lies & selling out of America by the top tier of government, presidents, the filthy media & people like you.
I’ve always listened to your point of view, but after this, I will never again.
