Tucker Carlson Today
HOOMAN NOORCHASHM (GUEST): You can t sacrifice the lives of a minority subset of people for majority benefit. Look, the fundamental basis of this country was that concept. You know, the founding fathers of this country were minority subsidy, and the greater empire, that was just screwing them. Right. So they had a revolution, right? It goes against the grain, you see, because if you tolerate minority harm over time, Tucker, what happens is that minority becomes the harm the majority. And you know what the harm majority does? The harm majority starts burning and looting and climbing up the walls of the United States Congress to overthrow this thing, ok? Because that s what Americans do. So unless we can actually sort of level with each other, stop cannibalizing each other, right? Listen, Captain America delivered an MRNA vaccine to save us and the rest of the world. Let s use it. Let s do it rationally.
Dear Secretary Benson,
Thank you for your response via your staff, Mr. Reames, to my invitation to have you testify before the Senate Oversight Committee in the coming weeks. His response stated that the Director of Elections, Jonathan Brater, being the individual that “directly manages” the activities we will be discussing, will be attending the hearing in your absence.
While the committee will benefit from having Director Brater there to provide details on certain aspects of managing election-related actions taken by the department, I believe it is imperative that the State’s chief election officer, ultimately elected to and charged with making the final decisions, be present as well. This is precisely why my invitation was specific to having both of you attend.
Edited By MARY KAUFFMAN - Today, Senator Bill Wielechowski (D-Anchorage) introduced Senate Joint Resolution 12, joining others in urging the United States Congress to remove the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset clauses from the United States Social Security Act.
Both provisions affect the calculation of the Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a state pension or one from a political subdivision. The Windfall Elimination Provision applies to direct public employees while the Government Pension Offset reduces benefits of spouses and survivors who are public employees – both of which cut benefits up to hundreds of dollars per month.

Maynard Police Chief Michael Noble and Fire Chief Anthony Stowers would like to share guidelines and tips in regard to accessing help in the midst of an emergency during National 9-1-1 Education Month.
April is designated as National 9-1-1 Education Month, recognized by the United States Congress in 2008.
According to the National Emergency Number Association, approximately 240 million calls are made to 911 each year in the United States. 9-1-1 Education Month is recognized across the country to conduct outreach and educate community members on 911 resources and practices. National 9-1-1 Education Month is a great opportunity to remind ourselves of key steps to take in an emergency. If you ever need help, call 911, share your location promptly with the operator and do your best to stay calm while waiting for help to arrive, Noble said.
