Being for the benefit of Mr. Biden

 (My new American Thinker post)

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play 56 years ago this week. Watching the way the FBI is holding on to that memo reminds me of that song from the LP "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" and how after some years in preparation A splendid time is guaranteed for all named Biden.

This is the story:   

The FBI confirmed the existence of an informant file the bureau refuses to provide Congress that allegedly links President Joe Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme, a confirmation the Justice Department previously did not deny, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Wednesday.

Comer and FBI Director Christopher Wray conducted a scheduled meeting Wednesday in which the bureau chief confirmed the file’s existence. The file allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Biden and a foreign national.

Okay.  Let's see it.  I'm all for protecting national security and sources, but we can do it.  We can see the information on the memo and prove for once and for all whether or not money impacted policy decisions.  It would be nice to know if nine Biden family members won the big Lotto or received payments from business ventures under "The Big Guy."

Director Christopher Wray has another problem – the FBI’s credibility issues revealed in the Durham Report.  The director can say that reforms were implemented or he can put the document on the table and let the country see the evidence. Again, he can protect sources and confirm that the it's something or nothing.

No more being for the benefit of Mr. Biden!

Happy # 83 Jim Maloney

We remember Jim Maloney who was born in Fresno, CA on this day in 1940.

Maloney broke with Cincinnati in 1960 and become one of the best right handers in the National League:  134 games with a 3.19 ERA.   Maloney won 89 games over a five year span, 1963-67.   

On June 14, 1965, Maloney pitched a great game and lost 1-0:   11 innings against the Mets, including 10 no-hit innings to start the game.....18 strikeouts and and two hits and a walk.

Maloney pitched a no-hitter later against the Cubs and won 20 games in 1965.  Injuries kept Maloney from pitching in the Reds’ championship teams of the 1970s.    

Maloney was elected to the Reds’ Hall of Fame.

Happy # 75 Jerry Mathers

Back in 1964, our family arrived in Wisconsin.  We learned a lot of English back then watching TV, such as "Leave it to the Beaver".

We remember Jerry Mathers who was born in Iowa on this day in 1948.

Mathers will always be "The Beaver" in "Leave it to Beaver", one of the most popular TV shows ever.   

The show had four characters that everyone could love:  Dad Ward Cleaver, Mom June Cleaver, Wally and Beaver.    

And let's not forget Eddie Haskell, who probably drove every mother crazy.

Learning English with "The Beaver"!  I can identify with that!
