Jan 14, 1952: 1952 Tax Evaders vs hold my beer 2026.
"The way this spy system works is that any person who submits the name 'crooked taxpayer' can collect up to 10% of the total amount brought into the Treasury as a result of the tip-off."




Jan 14, 1952: A-Weapons Stir New Rivalry in Armed Forces
Air Force announced a contract with Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp. for building the atomic-powered airplane...which never actually happened.


The Convair NB-36H was an experimental aircraft that carried a nuclear reactor to test its protective radiation shielding for the crew, but did not use it to power the aircraft. Nicknamed "The Crusader", it was created for the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program to show the feasibility of a nuclear-powered bomber. Its development ended with the cancellation of the ANP program in March 1961.


Jan 14, 1952: NBC's long-running morning news program Today (@TODAYshow) debuts, with host Dave Garroway [1913-1982]. The Today show was the first of its kind—a mix of hard news and lifestyle meant to accompany your morning coffee. It turned the living room into a classroom and the news into a companion.



Major Donald E. Keyhoe debates Lt. Col. Lawrence J. Tacker on the Today show, hosted by Dave Garroway. Tacker says he wrote the book Flying Saucers and the US Air Force because “I felt the Air Force was being set upon by Maj. Keyhoe, NICAP, and other hobby groups who believe in spaceships as an act of pure faith.” Keyhoe repeatedly challenges Tacker, whose statements ring hollow, and even Garroway asks Tacker pointed questions and coolly notes Tacker’s apparent ignorance of basic physics. The show generates numerous phone calls and letters to NBC, most of them critical of the Air Force.

Major Donald E. Keyhoe and Lt. Col. Lawrence Tacker, USAF, appeared on the Dave Garroway TV Show on Dec 5, 1960 to discuss the UFO phenomena. Listen from 26:30 on Archive.org.

Wiki snippet:

In 1981, Garroway underwent open-heart surgery, as a result of which he contracted a staph infection. On January 14, 1982, Today broadcast its 30th-anniversary special, which featured all of the important living, former, and current staff members. Garroway, who had recently undergone drug rehabilitation for an amphetamine addiction, appeared to be cheerful and in good spirits during the show. He also indicated that he would be present for the show's 35th anniversary in 1987.

A few months later, however, Garroway began suffering complications from the infection he had contracted during surgery. He spent some weeks in and out of hospitals and had an in-home nurse tending to him. On July 21, he was found dead of a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, home. No suicide note was found and Garroway's nurse did not recall him being unusually depressed in the final day of his life. Garroway's son Michael said that his father had been experiencing complications from his heart operation and he had "unfortunately succumbed to the traumatic effects of his illness". In addition, he was extremely depressed at his inability to resurrect a TV career, saying to friends and family "I'm old hat, old news. Nobody wants old Dave anymore". His family held a private graveside service for him in Philadelphia on July 28.

Because of Garroway's dedication to the cause of mental health, his third wife, Sarah, helped establish the Dave Garroway Laboratory for the Study of Depression at the University of Pennsylvania.

Jan 14, 1966: the Tom Jones LP "A-Tom-ic Jones" was released on Decca in the UK. According to the biography TOM JONES: CLOSE UP, Parrot Records, the Decca-owned label in the US, "initially refused to release the album," but then issued it with more "tasteful" cover art.






"2025 was one of the three warmest years on record" — World Meteorological Organization


WMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record

You see, global weather started in 1850 and before that there was no weather, according to the weather boys. Weird times! Maybe we can finally get out of this ice age! The British folk would be very happy considering PM Starmer wants to put the island nation into a deep freeze via windmill power.


Quiz: Who does Starmer ban from entering the UK (A or B) ?


Eva Vlaardingerbroek, lawyer and "Shieldmaiden of the far right". Eva can easily work around this ban by travelling to Britain in a rubber dinghy.


Let's run an experiment and give all British politicans a Neuralink chip. I mean at this point what could possibly go wrong. Can't get any worse, right?

Trump:

Vid clip is from a Signing Ceremony, Jan. 14, 2026 about the "Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act" into law, the first new law of 2026 which abolishes the Obama era milk nonsense and brings back whole and 2% milk back to school cafeterias. I presume a huge win for dairy farmers. But of course there will be some liberal schools that refuse it.

Trump also signed a proclamation concerning vulnerabilities on imports of processed critical minerals and their derivative products (PCMDPs) as part of national security. "US will sell semiconductor chips, not the highest level to China and other countries...China wants them and other people want them, and we're going to be making 25% on the sale of those chips."

So, if we take Trump's word, Greenland is not about the minerals, it's about defense against Russian ICBMs & hypersonic missiles and geopolitical power projection. Mineral extraction to make it our worthwhile would take ten years minimum before we would ever see any gain.


Helluva narrative meme from the official Twitter account of the White House to justify the annexation of Greenland.


The Trump administration is pausing immigrant visa processing from 75 countries. Kinda surprised Thailand is blocked. The rest are mostly countries you never hear anything about and most Americans can't find on a map.
