Tony Dow, who starred as Wally Cleaver on the classic sitcom Leave It to Beaver, died Tuesday at age 77.

Tony was a beautiful soul kind, compassionate, funny and humble. It was truly a joy to just be around him. His gentle voice and unpretentious manner was immediately comforting and you could not help but love him, the announcement reads.

Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, an ally of former President Donald Trump, testified behind closed doors before the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, for nearly eight hours on Friday.
He entered the committee conference room a little before 10 a.m. ET and ended before 7 p.m. ET, with an hour lunch break. He took several small breaks to confer with his lawyer throughout the meeting.
Byrne played an active role supporting efforts to question and push baseless claims about the 2020 election, including attending a meeting in mid-December at the White House to discuss strategies to overturn the election.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-07/trump-offers-assurance-of-orderly-transition-to-biden-presidencyPresident Donald Trump, minutes after Congress certified President-elect Joe Bidens Electoral College Victory and hours after Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, pledged an orderly transition.
Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th, Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter by his aide Dan Scavino early Thursday morning.
Trumps statement came as staff resigned and as congressional allies abandoned him in the aftermath of a mob of his supporters laying siege to the Capitol on Wednesday.

'The Waltons' Cast To Bring In New Year For 'Stars In The House'
Dont say Good night, John-Boy just yet. The cast of The Waltons will come together for the first Stars in the House reunion of 2021.
Nearly every one of the surviving original cast members will join Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley for the January 7 episode of the Actors Fund benefit series on YouTube. Set for the virtual get-together are Richard Thomas (John-Boy Walton), Michael Learned (Olivia Walton), Mary Beth McDonough (Erin Walton), Eric Scott (Ben Walton), Kami Cotler (Elizabeth Walton) and Judy Norton (Mary Ellen Walton). That leaves just two absentee brothers: Jon Walmsley, who played Jason Walton, and David W. Harper, who played Jim-Bob Walton.
The cast is expected to reminisce about their time on the iconic 1970s family drama and answer fan questions.

Manhattan prosecutor agrees to shelve subpoena for Trump tax returns
Manhattans top prosecutor on Monday agreed to delay enforcement of a subpoena for eight years of President Trumps tax returns.
Cyrus Vance Jr., the Democratic district attorney for Manhattan, had the legal right as of this Friday to enforce a New York grand jury subpoena to obtain a lengthy financial paper trail that includes Trumps corporate and personal tax records.
But Vance has agreed to temporarily shelve the subpoena against Trumps accounting firm, Mazars USA. The delay allows for another round of litigation, extending the nearly yearlong court battle over the subpoena in which Trump has lost every bout, including a landmark decision last month at the Supreme Court.
