Peltola’s ‘Blue Dog Democrats’ are a rural Antifa, member reveals
The Washington Post revealed this week that Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola is taking over a group of “Blue Dog Democrats.” But one of the leading members of the takeover, Rep. Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington state, has revealed something more ominous — she and Mary P. are actually creating a rural Antifa.
This is helping make sense of her July message giving praise to communist Saul Alinsky, and her #OnStrikeSummer messaging of late.
All Point Bulletin for Peltola: Where is Mary Peltola? It’s been at least a month since she was in the state and now it is August recess. Is there a medical issue? A health retreat? No local photos of her anywhere with any group for weeks now has caused constituents to wonder. At this week’s meeting in Anchorage of her U.S. House Committee on Infrastructure and Transportation, she was a no-show.
How is it that the House Infrastructure and Transportation Committee can come to Alaska and our own representative cannot be bothered to attend a meeting about our port? The mainstream media is playing dumb on this one.

Equity meets bike libertarianism: Anchorage Assembly loosens laws for jaywalkers and cyclists
Under a new “equity” ordinance passed by the Anchorage Assembly on Tuesday, there will be no more fines for jaywalking in Anchorage starting in October. That’s because the laws against jaywalking were racist, according to the rationale underpinning the new ordinance, and thus minorities are more likely to be cited for jaywalking. Makes no sense, we know…
