Joe Biden's incoming chief of staff has suggested that the US president-elect, once in office, would take a much stronger line against Russia for its suspected cyberespionage operations, saying the US response would go beyond sanctions. "Those who are responsible are going to face consequences for it," Ron Klain told US network CBS on Sunday. "It's not just sanctions. It's also steps and things we could do to degrade the capacity of foreign actors to repeat this sort of attack or, worse still, engage in even more dangerous attacks. Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have called for a muscular response to the cyberattacks.

Now that President-elect Joe Biden is headed to the Oval Office, Trump’s inner circle of advisers and appointees are boxing up their White House office suites and plotting their post-Trump careers. They will be penning political memoirs, scoring consultant gigs, and shortlisted for cozy posts in academia. These appearances are a powerful reminder that, while Donald J. Trump’s quest to win the 2020 election is dead, another equally alarming campaign is underway. And many well-meaning media outlets will be complicit in presenting his team’s full-on attack on democracy as merely the Republican “side” in a bipartisan debate.

The untold story of the fearsome winter of 1858
In 1916, Victoria was inundated with such a tremendous fall of snow (drifting to over 6 feet in height) the local military forces were called out. The army deployed 150 soldiers to assist the city that had come to a standstill – Victoria is the only Canadian city west of the Great Lakes to hold the record for so much snow in so little time. My grandfather, aged 12 at the time, recalled the snow drifts were so deep. Many nearly covered the tops of telephone poles. My great grandfather, having experienced colder winters in 19th century BC, was nonplussed and simply got the horse and sleigh out. This got me thinking about what it must have been like in even earlier cold snaps. How would you survive? One story generally untold today is when the Fraser River froze up in the winter of 1858. Many gold miners were stranded, the steamboats largely unable to break through the ice and, as such, being the severe impetus for many a foreign-born miner forced to tramp through thick snows and occasionally not-so-thick ice.

Newt Gingrich: A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s victory. The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.
