INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The New York Times bestselling author of the “must-read” (Sean Hannity) Breaking the News and editor-in-chief of Breitbart News Network returns with this timely and eye-opening deep dive investigation into the 46th president.


Over his 50-year career in Washington, Joe Biden has become known for his wild dishonesty, embarrassing policy failings, and an absolute lack of accountability, culminating in his predictably unpopular presidency. But what has not yet been revealed is the vast web of consultants, bureaucrats, corporate titans, foreign interests, and various extended family members (it’s not just Hunter!) who have achieved unfathomable wealth and power while keeping Biden in charge.

Now, Alex Marlow reports the findings of a shocking, in-depth investigation into the individuals and entities behind the devastating decisions that have empowered the global elite at the expense of the American public. With his signature “prescient” (Tucker Carlson) writing, Marlow unearths new details such

The secret cadre of consultants running Joe Biden’s Washington.
How Joe Biden sold America’s intellectual property to communist China.
The unreported and audacious reason the underwhelming, under-qualified, and unpopular Kamala Harris was chosen to be vice president.
All the ways the Bidens’ bag cash off of the family name.

Excellent break down of the extensive corruption and disgusting politics of this horrific man and his completely criminal family. It makes my skin crawl what this traitorous cretin has gotten away with. Read this book.

Falling UP a flight of stairs is the perfect envisionment of Joe Biden‘s career. He has failed upward all his life. And I now understand why Joe says his son is the smartest person he knows. It was Hunter who capitalized and embellished upon his family’s decades long influence-peddling schemes. Hunter’s shrewdness, undiminished by an abundance of drugs that would fry less cunning brains, brought grifting to new heights. These hiding-in-plain-sight scenarios were undreamed of even by Crooked Joe or any other member of the corrupt Biden family.

The clan now considers Hunter a dangerous loose cannon. But he must still be kept close to prevent the entire crime organization from crashing down around the big guy’s legacy. Through attorneys, and in emails to family members, Hunter has made not-so-veiled threats that he won’t go down alone.

Hunter was even “smart” enough subconsciously, to expose his laptop to discovery because of his seething anger at being the unchosen son…Beau’s unfortunate and untimely death completes the necessary element for comparison of the Biden corruption saga to a Shakespearean tragedy.

It is a sad commentary that when examining the life of Joe Biden, a man who has experienced so much personal loss, the reader comes away with so little sympathy toward him.

I have once again decided to embark on a mission to read a number of books on subjects that will be of great importance to the upcoming 2024 US Presidential Election. This was a great success as I prepared for 2020, with an outcome at the polls (and antics by both candidates up to Inauguration Day) that only a fiction writer might have come up with at the time! Many of these will focus on actors and events intricately involved in the US political system over the last few years, in hopes that I can understand them better and, perhaps, educate others with the power to cast a ballot. I am, as always, open to serious recommendations from anyone who has a book I might like to include in the process.

This is Book #7 in my 2024 US Election Preparation Challenge.


Political writer Alex Marlow delivers an impactful book that explores and dissects the life and times of Joe Biden, America’s 46th president. In an effort to smear the man and his choices, Marlow makes his right of centre sentiments known with vapid vignettes before actually trying to make a point worthy of the intellectual analysis many would expect. Highlighting Biden the man, those around him, and some of the Administration’s shortcomings, Marlow makes his point to appease Trump supporters, rather than offer a well-founded assessment. Still, this is one of the stronger books from this group, which does not say much. An entertaining collection of ideas, some of which land and are worth synthesising.

Before delving too deeply into Alex Marlow’s book, the reader ought to be aware that he is editor-in-chief of Breitbart News Network, a far-right entity that has long-since blindly praised Donald Trump. With this impediment aired, it is easier to understand the fixation in the early chapters about Biden’s youth and his medical procedures. While the former is interesting in understanding where Biden discovered some of his foundational political thoughts, the latter proves to be a vapid and highly unnecessary exploration. Perhaps this is to fill space, though one can wonder if this is due to Marlow’s inability to come up with anything worthwhile.

Biden has spent 50 years in Washington, seeking to change the way things were done. While this would have been a great start, Marlow spends much time trying to come up with sleight for those who surround themselves with Biden, smearing them for their own connections. There is no doubt that Hunter Biden has his shortcomings, but Marlow refuses to allow him to have made his own decisions. This can be extended to his business dealings, though Marlow prefers to somehow tie Joe Biden to them all, as if this was a unique and unheard of approach, especially under Trump. Marlow wants the reader to forget that and focus solely on the shining bauble he chooses to discuss. Others who are criticised include lsome who have been approved by the Senate to serve in the Administration’s Cabinet. Marlow chooses to spend pages trying to vilify them. While it was a long and mostly dull portion of the book, one must applaud Marlow for being good at spinning the truth for his own need, a Trump tactic.

Needing to begin a tar and feather campaign on Biden in the middle of the book, Marlow goes on some weird and highly odd analyses related to the opposite sex. While Marlow cites it as “creepy”, it is his sick fixation on things that ought to hold that label. Perhaps it is the focus on Trump and his many sexual assault accusations that leaves Marlow unable to stop himself, but it was awkward and speaks more to Marlow’s highly troubling obsessions than anything else. I suppose if it tickles his fancy (amongst other things), we have to pat him on head and move along.

In the latter portion of the book, Marlow finally turns to exploring the Biden Administration and their decisions, but he yet again drops the ball. He expects his reader to be mouth-open and willing to be spoon-fed anything he says. He tries to make it shocking that the Biden Administration was responsible for more COVID deaths than Trump. Take a moment to synthesise this… COVID arrived the year of the presidential election, leaving Trump only a few months to show his inability to handle things and insist on injecting bleach into one’s arm. Biden had to face the brunt of the pandemic and would surely have had more deaths, which anyone can see. Alas, Marlow missed the mark.

Exploring energy programs, immigration, and economic policies, Marlow tries to smear Biden for choices that he made, yet one must once more assess the mess left to him and how Trump sought to leave decision to the individual, rather than acknowledging the need of every American to have a government that can lead them. Marlow tries his best and does make some poignant points, but these are lost in his mindless rhetoric and desire to glorify Trump as anyone working for Breitbart must do or be shunned by the Right.

Perhaps the most mind-numbing topic of the entire tome is Marlow’s attempt to defend Trump’s Mexican wall, a gong show unlike anything else I had heard about in the lead-up to 2016. What’s worse is that Marlow, lapdog to the end, criticises Biden for not furthering or even encouraging building the wall. Trying to add a smear to Vice-President Kamala Harris along the way, Marlow tries to argue that the wall would be a benefit for all, especially with the porous nature of the California/Mexico crossing. General applause for trying to tug wool over the eyes of Trumpers, but Marlow must stop his asinine arguing over the wall and the utter stupidity of its foundation. Xenophobic pie, anyone?

I love to push myself to read books that are well researched by the Right, as they force me to look at things from another perspective. However, when I end up with a brain cramp trying to digest some of the arguments, I find myself troubled. Marlow does well laying out some of his arguments, but fails to convince, as he is so busy seeking to insult and smear. One cannot expect much of Breitbart, so I was not shocked. Great chapters of a variety of different topics help show a variety of Biden ideas, sentiments, and backstory. Marlow did his research, even if it was solely completed to smear rather than analyse. However, at least he appeased the base, which will surely keep the Right assuaged and ready to be led astray in November.

Kudos, Mr. Marlow, for trying to be balanced, at least by Breitbart standards.

Excellent book

I learned so much about the corruption in Washington and about the state of my country. I couldn't put it down.

With about two hundred pages of citations, this is an explosive account of the current American president's filial corruption. It'll obviously appeal more to American readers. However, after a point, you accept the fact that Biden is corrupt. Reading several accounts proving the same then gets repetitive.

I will recommend this to nonfiction aficionados who enjoy American-Chinese geopolitics.

Excellent book that lays out the many crimes committed by the Biden crime family. If you haven't kept up on the many things done by these people then this book is a great way to have it all laid out for you. Marlow is the editor of Breitbart and, since I follow that site daily, I was aware of much of what is written in this book, so not a lot new to me.

We all know the regime is corrupt, though some of us may not know all the details. Marlow lays out some of the details--enough to disgust the reader. It is so tiresome to read how some people get away with anything and everything, while false evidence is brought against others. Maybe one day, Biden will be held accountable.

I found Marlow’s “Breaking Biden” to be a thought provoking indictment of one of the most catastrophically inept and corrupt presidents (and administrations) in American history.

I don’t want to live in this author’s world. Although I do agree with a few of the items ranted on in this book, his presentation is much to be desired. I’ll be patiently waiting for him to write a book on the Trump presidency in the same style.

This book makes a solid argument for why Joe Biden should be considered the worst president in American history. I still think jimmy carter holds that spot, but man Biden really tried to give him a run for his money 😂

Fabulous read. As is often the case, those who need to read this, won’t.

Here are some of my favorite quotes.

Afghanistan
“Kelley Curie, former ambassador-at-large for the State Department’s Office of Global Women’s Issues, blamed one man in particular: Joe Biden. ‘This is the legacy of the Biden administration in Afghanistan: failing to listen to the Afghan women who warned that the Taliban still were the same monsters, and who instead partnered with those monsters on a botched evacuation that cost Afghan women everything and shamed our nation,’ she wrote. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was a 360-degree disaster. So much blood and treasure lost, yet the region became even more perilous. It was a resounding defeat for the concept of American nation-building and Western globalism. Even though they made billions of dollars in the process, the military-industrial complex had never looked more dastardly and ineffectual. It was also the most resounding failure of Joe Biden’s fifty-year political career. So surely heads rolled? On the contrary. That’s not how Joe Biden’s Washington works. In our nation’s capital, the more egregious the error, the fewer people get held to account. So, in this case, every individual responsible for the disastrous decision making was still in a position of power at the time this book was written. In retrospect, the lack of accountability was inevitable.”

Are you a Junkie?
“In fact, Biden claimed that he was ‘constantly tested’ for cognitive decline when on the campaign trail in 2020.1 Yet just a month later, Joe said he hadn’t taken any cognitive tests and lashed out when asked if he had. ‘No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?’ Biden told a reporter representing the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists. ‘Come on, man. That’s like saying you, before you got on this program, you take a test where you’re taking cocaine or not. What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?’”

Border Crisis
“An open border means you don’t care who takes up residence in your country. It’s anti-American, and it’s an intentional decision by our ruling class. With an open border, drugs flow up and in, and organized crime is a guarantee. Organized crime, that is, the cartels, typically has two products: humans and drugs. It’s morally reprehensible to tolerate either, yet we permit both. The whole process is hideous. Families will be separated—and not by supposedly evil Republicans, but by the gangsters who know that once a child is admitted to America, any alleged ‘parent’ will get admitted, too—even if the baby wasn’t brought here by their actual parents. ‘The women are warned in Mexico that they likely will be raped and assaulted during the trafficking process,’ human smuggling investigator Daniel Walden told Breitbart News in an interview. He also explained ‘rape trees,’ which are common along trafficking routes. Coyotes often remove an article of clothing from the trafficked female they raped and then tie it to a tree as if it were a trophy. These trees aren’t only in Mexico: they’re in Texas as well, as one rancher told us. The migrants’ journey is dangerous, dirty, and often humiliating. They will endure all sorts of humanitarian horrors along the way, sometimes even after they’ve crossed into the vast deserts of America’s Southwest.”

Delaware
“Delaware is so friendly to corporations that, in a number of cities and towns throughout the state, limited liability companies (LLCs) are allowed to vote in local elections. Mitt Romney once said, ‘Corporations are people, my friend,’ and in Delaware, that’s actually true. In one instance, a single property owner—who managed his holdings through thirty-one LLCs—was able to vote thirty-one times in a local race.”

The Establishment
“Joe Biden’s entire adult life has been spent as a politician. After thirty-six years in the Senate, eight as vice president under Barack Obama, and now as president of the United States, there is no one in America who more clearly embodies the establishment than Joe Biden.”

“Joe Biden … is the embodiment of the permanent political class. He’s held office for nearly two-thirds of his life with minimal interruption. He also, as he is fond of saying, gets stuff done.
The evidence is that Joe Biden continues, as of this writing, to accumulate unfathomable levels of power and influence that have enriched his family, benefited our geopolitical adversaries, and, in the end, made America a weaker and more divided place.”

Foreign Policy
“One of the most repeated phrases about Joe Biden is from former defense secretary Robert Gates, who said of the vice president in 2014, ‘I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.’”

“We were promised that under President Biden, a supposed foreign relations expert, the U.S. and the world would once again have a steady hand guiding geopolitics, especially in Eastern Europe. Instead, the world is at its most tense moment in decades.”

Hollywood and China
“From 1994 to 2001, China had a policy that only ten non-Chinese movies could be shown in theaters in the country each year. That number was increased to twenty in 2002, with that quota remaining in place until 2012. In order to be one of those chosen few, Hollywood executives were forced to go through the Chinese government and obtain CCP approval before they could sell their products to Chinese consumers. Needless to say, this was severely limiting to American production companies and distributors, who saw the expanding Chinese movie market as a gold mine. Eventually, a deal began to come together between the vice presidents of the two countries, Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, to expand the presence of America’s movies within China.
The person who gets the most credit—or blame—for initiating the process was Jeffrey Katzenberg. Katzenberg founded DreamWorks with director Stephen Spielberg and music mogul David Geffen; these are three of the most influential entertainment executives in the world. He also was instrumental to the rise of Barack Obama (and thus Joe Biden). The Hollywood hot shot supported the half-term senator when most of the entertainment industry was firmly behind Hillary Clinton. As early in Obama’s rise as February 20, 2007, Katzenberg, Spielberg, and Geffen raised over $1.3 million in campaign contributions for the then senator at a star-studded Hollywood event.”

“Institutional Racism”
Before Biden began complaining about institutional racism in our society—which is ironic coming from someone who has been in control of those same institutions for half a century—he was responsible for a crime bill in 1994 that led to the mass incarceration of black men. (He would go on to make Kamala Harris his vice president, who also built a career on jailing the nonviolent.)

Keep it Up
“Joe flunked a law school class in 1965 for lifting, without attribution, five pages from a published law review. He dropped out of the 1988 presidential race after a plagiarism scandal. He was caught copying entire passages of stump speeches from the likes of Robert F. Kennedy, again without attribution. President Barack Obama reportedly said, ‘Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*ck things up.’
Former defense secretary Robert Gates said in 2014 that ‘he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.’ You’d be hard-pressed to find examples of Biden international successes since.
He played a pivotal role in the deal that gave the U.S. access to the Chinese box office—and ultimately led to Hollywood outsourcing our know-how to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”

Funding
“The figures bankrolling the grassroots foundation of Joe Biden’s America are among the wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet. Here are a few of them:
Soros is a regular ‘agenda contributor’ to the World Economic Forum (WEF). He seems to fund nearly every leftist, globalist, and anti-American cause imaginable. It would take volumes to document it all.
Tom Steyer (estimated net worth: $1.5 billion): Steyer, a San Francisco–based former hedge fund manager and climate activist, spent $73 million on left-leaning causes during the 2020 cycle. Biden hired Steyer to advise him on climate change. Steyer has advocated for halting of drilling permits and the blocking of pipelines, and thus shares responsibility for the skyrocketing gas prices during Biden’s first term … Though Steyer plays the part of climate change combatant in public, his Farallon Capital Management had large investments in a four-thousand-acre Australian coal mine that is expected to pump carbon into the atmosphere for decades. In addition, the fund has invested vast sums in companies with coal-fired power plants and coal mines in China and Indonesia. At least four appointed Biden White House staff have financial disclosures tying them to Steyer’s businesses.
Laurene Powell Jobs (estimated net worth: $13.7 billion): Apple cofounder Steve Jobs’s widow is one of the richest women in the world and one of the most powerful people in Democrat politics and media. She is nearly as much a part of the Democrat machine as Joe Biden himself. The heiress’s primary vehicle for spreading her wealth around is the Emerson Collective, which is a core subject of my book Breaking the News. Through the Emerson Collective, she gives lavishly to globalist social justice causes and candidates, funds establishment and alternative left-wing media, and provides jobs for Biden and Obama administration officials. Unsurprisingly, her media outlets tend to report favorably on her other causes. Jobs accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden on behalf of Steve Jobs in July 2022. She attended a state dinner held by Biden in December 2022.”

Truth Over Facts
“If I had to summarize Joe Biden’s fifty years in politics in one of his quotes, it would be this one from the Iowa State Fair in 2019: ‘We choose truth over facts.’ Ponder that one long enough and you can actually feel your own brain hurt.
Joe Biden’s words have gotten him into trouble plenty of times, but so have his hands… and his nose. Throughout his career, he has been seen engaging in unambiguously creepy behavior. Though he has evaded any consequences for this pattern, it does cause him his fair share of public embarrassment. Take, for example, the interview with Kitty Kelley where he repeatedly told the journalist about hot sex with Neilia. Joe never changed. In a May 2020 interview with Wired, Joe described his sister Valerie as ‘the love of my life.’ The comment is ridiculously off-putting, yet there was a complete media blackout of that story. I couldn’t find this
quote in Google or another major search engine and had to rewatch the interview just to make sure I hadn’t hallucinated it. Videos abound on the Internet of Joe holding on to women and girls, seeming to savor them. Touches that linger beyond an appropriate interval. Occasionally he’ll brush back a girl’s hair. At a swearing-in ceremony in 2015, Joe appeared to whisper into the ear of Democrat senator Chris Coons’s thirteen-year-old daughter. What is it that Joe could have possibly been saying to this poor girl? Then… oh, no… no, Joe, please no!… the then vice president went in for a little kiss. In 2016, a hug with a purple-pantsuit-clad Hillary Clinton lasted for seventeen seconds, even though she literally tried to tap out of the embrace twice as if she were in a mixed martial arts cage fight.
The most infamous example of surprise PDA inflicted on unexpecting women while cameras were rolling was when he caressed the shoulders of Secretary of Defense Ash Carter’s wife while her husband delivered a speech. Biden put his nose in her hair and drew in a breath, seeming to indulge in the aroma. All this with her husband standing right there next to them! Ick. There are other examples. Many of them, in fact. On a trip to Europe in the summer of 2023, Biden was videoed attempting to nibble a baby girl. It’s the type of behavior that would be considered odd if he had done it to his own flesh and blood.”

WEF
“The WEF was founded in the 1970s and based in a ski vacation destination, Davos, Switzerland. The Great Reset is a concept largely credited to Klaus Schwab, a German economist who leads the WEF. Though it is often referred to as a conspiracy theory, top officials from the UN, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other groups of unelected globalist elites have used the phrase ‘Great Reset’ or referred to a global reboot or reset or restart. There is even a Davos podcast series called ‘the Great Reset.’ The WEF claims to be ‘independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests,’ though it has for decades advanced globalism and oligarchism throughout the world. It openly tries to influence governments. The WEF is focused on cultivating the next generation of politicians and bureaucrats and turning them into woke globalists, if they aren’t that already. They have already had countless success stories. Schwab himself has bragged about fostering global leaders and ‘penetrating’ governments across the world, even claiming that half of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet in Canada were WEF mentees. Its leadership includes executives from BlackRock, the Carlyle Group, Nestlé, the European Central Bank, Bain and Company, and the IMF. But it’s not just a big corporate cabal: it also includes humanitarians such as Al Gore and cellist Yo-Yo Ma, among many others.”

“The WEF’s recruiting pitch is simple and ingenious: appeal to people’s inner messianic complex. Win over the elites by convincing them that if they join this effort, they can save the world—and get very powerful in the process. An added perk: most of the recruiting seems to take place at lavish events in vacation destinations with celebrities and world leaders in attendance. Of course, the best way to get to these climate change idea-fests is by private plane. Breitbart News counted more than one thousand private planes sent to Davos for a WEF confab in 2018, for example. Perhaps climate change is an existential crisis only for those who lack the means to charter aircraft.”

WEF and COVID
“The WEF framed the COVID-19 pandemic as ‘the test of social responsibility’ and a model for how to achieve ‘net-zero’ emissions by enforcing ‘ethical’ consumption standards. This is a scary worldview—one that could lead to lockdown-like restrictions on human freedom—and it is presumably shared by members of Biden’s White House. The list of WEF alumni in the Biden administration is long and growing.”

You Did, Did You?
“In July of 2023, Biden would state that ‘we ended cancer as we know it.’”

As a principled conservative, Alex Marlow holds several core beliefs that align with the conservative ideology. He has been the editor-in-chief of Breitbart News Network since he was twenty-seven. Breitbart is an American far-right news and opinion website focused on conservative commentary, investigative reporting, and promoting nationalist, populist, and right-wing viewpoints. It is known for its provocative headlines, sensationalism, and controversial narratives.

Breitbart has experienced an equally dizzying rise and fall. Once it became mandatory reading for those who wanted to understand the nationalist wing of the Trump coalition, it quickly sank in popularity. It remains a polarising news source, with supporters praising its unapologetic conservative stance and detractors condemning its tactics.

In this meticulously researched book, published in 2023, Alex wanted to expose the hidden forces and secret money machine behind Joe Biden, his family, and his administration. He fearlessly breaks down an insightful exploration of the Biden presidency from a conservative perspective. Fox News claims Alex has presciently revealed the vast web of consultants, bureaucrats, corporate titans, foreign interests, and various extended family members who have achieved unfathomable wealth and power while keeping Biden in charge. Here is what he exposed in the book:

• Joe Biden is 81 years old. He has had a long and influential political career. He served as a U.S. senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009 for 36 years. From 2009 to 2017, Biden served as the 47th vice president of the United States under President Barack Obama. In 2021, Joe Biden became the 46th president of the United States. He is running his bid for re-election with former President Donald Trump.

• Joe’s family members have capitalised on his political success by invoking the Biden name to bolster their business pursuits.

o Joe’s younger brother, James Biden, has leveraged his brother’s clout for financial assistance, promoting his business ventures and furthering his business prospects.
o The family name also helped James and Hunter Biden when they took over hedge fund Paradigm Global Advisors in 2006, before Joe Biden’s second presidential bid.
o House Republicans investigated the Biden family’s business dealings and found the Biden family members, associates, and their companies received more than $10 million from foreign entities during and after President Joe Biden’s earlier vice presidency. However, these findings do not directly implicate President Biden in any bribery or corruption scandal. The available information does not prove that Biden knew of his family members’ business deals or personally benefited from these payments.
o It has been reported that Hunter Biden has cultivated close relationships with members of the Chinese elite, and the Biden family engaged in lucrative deals with the Chinese government despite their lack of experience in the relevant areas. Hunter Biden’s connections to China have been under scrutiny and investigation.

• Publicly, Joe Biden has spoken about standing up to big corporations. Nevertheless, prominent business individuals have significantly influenced his decision-making process inside Joe Biden’s administration. These consultants and billionaire financiers ensure that Joe won in 2020 and gets re-elected in 2024. They make sure that the government prioritises their favourite causes and endeavours through direct funding, tax incentives, and favourable legislation. The administration is obliged to protect these wealthy elites’ business interests.

In return, the financiers and consultants provide Washington with money, resources, and credibility.

• The debacle of the US chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan is a political disaster for Joe Biden. Retired army generals testified that the withdrawal plan was “too little, too late.” President Joe Biden’s handling of the withdrawal faced intense criticism. He did not adequately prepare Americans for the chaos that followed. The withdrawal significantly impacted how Americans view their government’s competence and decision-making in international affairs.

• Alex blamed Biden for not displaying strength and diplomacy to stop or defeat Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In hindsight, Washington’s initial response was shaped by its fear that Putin would use nuclear weapons. At the outset, Biden pledged that NATO troops would not fight in Ukraine. Ukraine was provided with weapons from former Warsaw Pact countries rather than state-of-the-art NATO weaponry. Biden hoped that sanctions would deter Russia’s aggression. But sanctions were implemented so incrementally that Putin was able to cushion their impact on Russia’s economy; Russian oligarchs had time to transfer their assets to sanctuary countries like Turkey.

• During a visit to Los Angeles with Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, Biden pressed for an end to a trade dispute that had hindered U.S. film distribution in China for 20 years. The result was a significant deal: China agreed to add 14 more films to the 20 non-Chinese films allowed for distribution per year, and the distribution fee for non-Chinese distributors increased from 13% to 25%. Biden’s diplomacy helped close the deal, benefiting Hollywood studios seeking access to the rapidly growing Chinese movie market.

However, the Chinese censors made unreasonable requests that could cost Hollywood tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to remake or modify the movies to pass the Chinese government’s censorship. A Hollywood producer said, “Beijing offered up access to its market in exchange for a decade-long tutorial from Hollywood on how to replicate its filmmaking process.” Biden played a pivotal role in the deal that gave the U.S. access to the Chinese box office and ultimately led to Hollywood outsourcing American know-how to the Chinese Communist Party.

• President Biden’s energy policies have been criticised for betraying working-class Americans and enriching green radicals and the Davos elite. I rather believe the author is nitpicking Biden’s policies. America has been left behind in cutting off carbon dioxide emissions because of the non-action from Biden’s predecessor.

• The US, indeed, has a de facto open border policy. This includes tolerance of illegal immigration, the presence of millions of unauthorised migrants, and Biden’s administration’s more welcoming approach. Unauthorised migrants from various countries are entering the U.S. southern border, often surrendering and claiming asylum. Since President Biden assumed office, more than 7.2 million migrants have attempted to cross the Southwest border.

Alex thought that Democrats would see the illegal migrants as potential Democrat voters one day. However, 78% of Americans say the large number of migrants seeking to enter this country at the U.S.-Mexico border is either a crisis (45%) or a major problem (32%), according to the Pew Research Centre survey. The government has been widely criticised for its handling of the migrant influx.

• Alex blames Biden for leading the United States toward a lawless nation.

o The FBI director wrote an opinion piece for Fox News with the headline “America’s Crime Problem Is Real.”
o The political polarisation between the Republicans and Democrats makes the congress like a circus.
o The government’s handling of immigration, border security, and enforcement is chaotic.
o Endless protests, riots, and clashes raise concerns about law and order.
o Instances of corruption or abuse of power can erode trust in institutions.
o After the pandemic, homelessness in the United States has become an urgent public health issue and humanitarian crisis that affects cities, suburbs, and rural towns in every state.

The book is highly informative, with all information adequately indexed. Nonetheless, a conservative writer like Alex Marlow might have biased it. I don’t elaborate on all of Biden’s exposures described by Alex in this book here because I believe they are not worth discussing.

Joe Biden is the embodiment of the permanent political establishment. He continues accumulating incomprehensible levels of power and influence that have enriched his family, benefited the geopolitical adversaries, and ultimately made America a weaker and more divided place.” It is hard to believe that the United States has two senile rivalry candidates, 81 and 78, to compete for the 47th presidential election. They are all flawed contenders.

Why can’t the most powerful and democratic nation put forward younger and more capable nominees when the geopolitical crisis has been at its worst over the last few years? America is weakening due to its polarised political infighting, racial tensions, societal disruption, and gigantic economic disparities. However, it is still the most dominant and influential nation. When will we see a wise and strong president, such as Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy, again in the United States?

Absolute eye opener as to the level of corruption of our political system and the democratic party for sure. Biden and his whole family seem to be more the mob family than statesman.

It really shows that our political class itself has not intention of policing or trying to clean up itself. This seems to me to be relatively easy to document and prosecute by using normal IRS auditing techniques to follow the money. The money is really on 1 or 2 steps away from key figures in most cases but no one cares. Many books have been written by people like Peter Schweitzer which could be used as a basis for investigating. This book also would be a good launching pad.

It's a compelling book. The author has collected knowledgeable resources that he has used to put together this story of crime and corruption. The story is well written. I listened to the book on audible and enjoyed the narration.

You’ll either live this or hate it, depending upon what side of the aisle you prefer. Without getting too much into the right vs left weeds, as a book, I found it pretty timely and well-argued against POTUS & his family.
There are a lot of stories here about the entire Biden family and Joe’s long political longevity. You’d just have to scroll through my reading history to see that I always try to read political books from each side.

I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Marlow, who I think is also a radio guy, and his broadcast chops are evident and conversational. His Biden impression, while one-note, is pretty funny. That said, dang this book was lonng! No shortage of Bideny deets here.

A must read for everyone who loves America

I liked the documentation as well as Mr Marlow’s writing facts that the media hides.
Hate crime, inflation, the political swamp, and why the middle class is losing their battle?
Read this book and become informed

Excellent book. A must read! It explains why Hollywood is creating all our movies with Chinese propaganda. Biden made a deal with China!

While I was somewhat familiar with the author, Alex Marlow, I had not read his previous book, Breaking the News.

I was SO glad to have learned of this book and it was terrific. Mr. Marlow gives clear, concise facts about various ways this Biden administration is working to destroy our country (as we used to know it!) and why it is working against conservatives to turn America into a socialist state.

Very well-written and so informative. I recommend this book to any American who sees the decline our wonderful country under this administration. In my opinion, Biden is just finishing up the "fundamental transformation" which Obama touted but did not quite complete in his 8 years of trying to ruin America. We are now seeing this "fundamental transformation" up close and personal. and it is SO detrimental to us, as a country...... the truth behind the Biden family and their corruption, no borders, illegal aliens overrunning our country and our resources, crime running rampant, inflation, soft on crime prosecutors, national debt which is devouring us, a joke on the international stage, pacifying our enemies, and so much more.

You will not be sorry if you take time to delve into the details around the Biden administration! They are out to destroy our country, our constitution, and our way of life.

I actively dislike Biden, but it doesn't mean anti Biden propaganda is useful or helpful. I doubt this book will convince anyone who isn't already convinced that all that's wrong about the world is Biden's fault, which is pretty much the thesis of the book.
Instead of sticking to facts & analyses, the 1st abound and 2nd take work, the book adds an increasingly unhelpful layer of stupidity.
I stopped reading about 2/3 through, after we learn that climate change is a hoax because the planet is "greener" now than it was before, that face masks are anti science cloth or something along these lines. The de-industrialization of the US is blamed on Biden. The fact that Hollywood movies suck is blamed on Biden. The fact there are business dealings between China and the US is blamed on Biden, and on and on.
At some point it's just retarded.

I thought this would be just another Biden bashing book detailing specific historic acts of corruption, his family (brothers and son) being tools like him, his speeches that divide Americans while gaslightingly saying he wants to unite us, his actions for personal monetary gain, overplaying of his gaffes (which is really getting boring), his personal actions of destroying democracy (while accusing his 'opponents' of doing so), but it ended up having even more detail in it. The most interesting part for me was the chapter on how Joe (with Katzenberg, Iger and Spielberg) helped Hollywood get their movies into China. It's interesting to see how this has played out years later with the control China now has to be the heavy on making sure what they do not want in a movie gets edited out.

Where do I start? I'm definitely not a fan of or a voter for Joe Biden, but I was astonished by how widespread and deeply ingrained the corruption is surrounding this man. The image of an intricate spider web with him at the center is apt. If he doesn't go down as the most corrupt American President, there is no justice. I had to pace myself somewhat during the reading of this book because it is just so dang depressing. It makes me sad to see the destruction of my country by those who have profited from its blessings. What gives me hope and comfort is that my sovereign God is in control of all things, and His plan is perfect.

A meticulously detailed, well-written expose of the corruption and incompetence underlying the Biden administration, and the real threat it poses for America. Alex Marlowe does a yeoman’s job compiling a vast array of information into a compelling narrative. If this book was a work of fiction, it would be disturbing enough. But because a Marlowe is dealing in reality, the book is infinitely more disturbing. Pay attention before it’s too late.

Read Before November!

This book should be read by everyone before November. To those of us already knowledgeable about Biden’s history, it is a good refresher, but there are do many points in here that I was either unaware of, or had not thought about. It’s definitely worth the read!

This book shows how it pays to be part of the Biden family -- one huge criminal enterprise/mafia.
The book is a little dry, but is chocked full of indisputable, documented facts. For a guy that is not bright, it truly is amazing he is so successful at being a corrupt professional.

I get a little bored reading non fiction books, but book is very factual and backs up all revelations with sources (half the book) Any politically minded person should read this! Just not my kind of book.

A insightful look into Joe Biden's life

This is a very well written account of the presidents achievements and failures. After reading this book I know Joe Biden much better.
