<p style="font-weight: 400;">The day before Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with President Trump at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, supporters of Ukraine showed up to protest the meeting, while Trump supporters are planning a rally in support of the president.</p>
<p>On Thursday evening, hundreds of people showed up at an intersection in Anchorage to protest the meeting, holding Ukrainian flags, with a marching band in attendance, the Anchorage Daily News <a href="https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/anchorage/2025/08/14/pro-ukraine-rally-draws-hundreds-of-alaskans-ahead-of-trump-putin-meeting/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>“I can see fascists from my house,” one protester’s sign read, referring to Saturday Night Live’s 2008 parody of former Alaskan governor Sarah Putin in which they had cast member Tina Fey say, “I can see Russia from my house.”</p>
<p>“Putin won’t stop at Ukraine,” was emblazoned on another sign.</p>
<p>More than a dozen protests are planned all over the 49th state as well.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“At least 16 protest events are scheduled to take place across Alaska from Thursday through Saturday, protesting the meeting and demonstrating solidarity with Ukraine, from Fairbanks to Kodiak to Ketchikan,” the Alaska Beacon <a href="https://alaskabeacon.com/2025/08/14/protests-planned-across-alaska-in-solidarity-with-ukraine-ahead-of-trump-putin-summit/">reported</a> on Thursday.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Friday rally to support Trump’s efforts is being led by Alaska Republicans. State Party Chairman Carmela Warfield <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/s/alaskans-for-trump-sign-waving/3691397374494918/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote </a>on</span> Facebook, “This Friday marks a truly historic moment for Alaska, President Donald J. Trump is visiting our great state &amp; all eyes will be on Anchorage! Let’s show the President and the world that we stand with President Donald J. Trump! I am inviting you to gather your friends and come together for a Sign Waving Rally to welcome the President! This is our time to show him the warmth, energy, and unity of our movement.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, a Ukrainian priest who serves at St. Nicholas of Myra church was praying for Trump to succeed; Father Vasyl Mutka <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b2c26041-d1b4-44d3-96fe-cb1f17cd39fa?utm_source=chatgpt.com">stated</a>, “May God give the right words to President Trump. And Putin be open to accept this message.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Zori Opanasevych, executive director of a non-profit helping refugees, who emigrated from Ukraine in the 1990, said of the local Ukrainian community, which she said saw over 1,000 refugees from the Russia-Ukraine war flee to Alaska, “Even though they might not like it, they are still also hopeful that, ‘What if this time it works?’ We are hoping for the best. We have to.”</p>

Rallies And Protests Set To Erupt In Alaska As Historic Trump-Putin Meeting Occurs

<p>On Friday morning, a district court gave the Trump administration another win, reversing an injunction a judge had brought that had blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dissolve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On February 1, President Trump removed CFPB director Rohit Chopra, who had ben appointed by the Biden administration. Acting director Russell Vought then ordered CFPB staff to halt all work and shut down its headquarters. That triggered a lawsuit from the National Treasury Employees Union — which represents most CFPB employees —along with other plaintiffs.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In late March, Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/trumps-plan-to-slash-cfpb-workforce-erase-data-halted-by-judge" data-terminal-id="STUT89T0G1KX">preliminary injunction</a> blocking the moves by the Trump administration.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“After briefly <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/appeals-court-narrows-order-halting-trumps-cfpb-shutdown-moves" data-terminal-id="SUKZU6T0AFB4">narrowing</a> the scope of Jackson’s injunction, the DC Circuit panel <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/cfpb-mass-layoffs-paused-again-as-emails-show-rush-to-fire-staff" data-terminal-id="SVGB7IT0G1KW">reinstated</a> the order shortly after the CFPB attempted a drastic reduction-in-force plan meant to slash the majority of the agency’s headcount,” Bloomberg News reported. “Lawyers for the Trump administration argued Jackson’s injunction was an overly broad encroachment on a federal agency’s efforts to downsize in accordance with the president’s policy directives.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">But on Friday, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41898/gov.uscourts.cadc.41898.1208766660.0.pdf">ruled</a> that Jackson’s preliminary injunction be vacated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is funded by the Federal Reserve, was authorized in 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Act. It has been exempt from congressional oversight throughout its existence and its funding is not determined by congressional legislators, making it the only federal agency with that standing.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2015, Investor’s Business Daily accused the CFPB of “diverting potentially millions of dollars in settlement payments for alleged victims of lending bias to a slush fund for poverty groups tied to the Democratic Party” and planning to “create a so-called Civil Penalty Fund for its own shakedown operations targeting financial institutions,” the Heritage Foundation has noted.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In October 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stated that the CFPB’s “perpetual insulation from Congress’ appropriations power, including the express exemption from congressional review of its funding, renders the Bureau ‘no longer dependent, and as a result, no longer accountable’ to the Congress and ultimately, to the people.”</p>

Another Trump Win: Court Rules President Can Indeed Dismantle Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an <a href="https://x.com/camiloreports/status/1956171733544710577">order</a> Thursday evening that named a new Emergency Police Commissioner whose power will supersede that of Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith and grant Washington, D.C., police officers more freedom in their interactions with suspected illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>Bondi&#8217;s order, titled “Restoring safety and security to the District of Columbia,” names Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the new Emergency Police Commissioner effective immediately. D.C. Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith will be stripped of power for the duration of President Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-14333-declaring-crime-emergency-the-district-columbia">executive order</a>, &#8220;Declaring a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia.&#8221;</p>

<p>“Effective immediately, Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terrence Cole shall serve as MPD&#8217;s Emergency Police Commissioner for the duration of the emergency declared by the President. Commissioner Cole shall assume all of the powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police,” Bondi states in her order. “Commissioner Cole shall have the authority to issue any general orders, executive orders, or other written directives that apply to Members of the MPD. Existing MPD leadership, including the current Chief of Police, members of the Executive Office of the Chief of Police, Bureau Heads/Executive Staff, and Commanders must receive approval from Commissioner Cole before issuing any further directives to the MPD.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Elsewhere, Bondi&#8217;s order states, “Notwithstanding false media narratives and apparent efforts by some District employees to manipulate crime statistics, the danger posed by violent crime in the District is plain for all to see. As Executive Order 14333 of August 11, 2025 (Declaring a Crime Emergency in the District of Columbia), makes clear, the &#8216;rising violence in the capital now urgently endangers public servants, citizens, and tourists&#8217; and is impeding the proper functioning of the Federal Government. These dangers are multiplied by the District&#8217;s sanctuary city policies, which actively shield criminal aliens from the consequences required by federal law.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Bondi also explicitly rescinded three orders issued by the Metro police within the past two years related to illegal immigration – the most recent one being an executive <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dc-police-announce-major-action-immigration-enforcement-after-trumps-crime-crackdown">order issued by Smith earlier</a> on Thursday limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ag-bondi-strips-power-from-dc-police-chief-rescinds-sanctuary-city-protections-crime-crackdown-operation?intcmp=tw_fnc&amp;taid=689eedb42c602f00017061b5&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">Fox News</a> noted. “To the extent that provisions in this Order conflict with any existing MPD directives, those directives are hereby rescinded,” Bondi wrote.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called Bondi’s order “unlawful,” adding, “Therefore, members of MPD must continue to follow your orders and not the orders of any official not appointed by the Mayor,” ABC News <a href="https://abc7.com/post/bondi-names-dea-head-dcs-emergency-police-commissioner-capital-leaders-push-back/17544546/">reported</a>.</p>

Bondi Strips D.C. Police Chief Of Power, Names New Emergency Police Commissioner

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A new study reveals that roughly nine in ten students fake leftist views to please their professors or their peers.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Between 2023 and 2025, Northwestern University psychology researchers Forest Romm and Kevin Waldman interviewed roughly 1,500 undergraduates at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, two of the most prestigious universities in the country. They asked themselves this overarching question: “What happens to identity formation when belief is replaced by adherence to orthodoxy?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In order to test their question, they asked the students if they had ever pretended to hold more progressive views than they truly endorsed to succeed socially or academically.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“An astounding 88 percent said yes,” they wrote in <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5446702-performative-virtue-signaling-has-become-a-threat-to-higher-ed/">The Hill</a>. They continued:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Seventy-eight percent of students told us they self-censor on their beliefs surrounding gender identity; 72 percent on politics; 68 percent on family values. More than 80 percent said they had submitted classwork that misrepresented their views in order to align with professors. Perhaps most telling: 77 percent said they disagreed with the idea that gender identity should override biological sex in such domains as sports, healthcare, or public data — but would never voice that disagreement aloud.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We do not fault students for perpetuating a climate that is hostile to intellectual integrity,” the researchers opined. “We fault the faculty, administrators, and institutional leaders who built a system that rewards moral theater while punishing inquiry.  In shielding students from discomfort, they have also shielded them from discovery. The result is a generation confident in self-righteousness, but uncertain in self.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">As far back as 2018, an <a href="https://www.nas.org/academic-questions/31/2/homogenous_the_political_affiliations_of_elite_liberal_arts_college_faculty">article</a> published by the National Association of Scholars found that roughly 40% of colleges across the United States did not have a single professor identifying as a Republican.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This bias toward the Left was illuminated by Mitchell Langbert, an associate professor of business at Brooklyn College, who wrote, “The political registration of full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors in top-tier liberal arts colleges is overwhelmingly Democratic. Indeed, faculty political affiliations at 39 percent of the colleges in my sample are Republican free—having zero Republicans.”</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">End of Summer Sale &#8211; Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Langbert added that the remaining 61% are &#8220;absurdly skewed against Republican affiliation.&#8221; He noted that 78.2% of the academic departments that he sampled had either zero Republicans, or “so few as to make no difference.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Between February 2017 and September 2017, Langbert sampled 8,688 tenure-track professors with PhDs from 51 of the 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the <em>U.S. News</em> 2017 report. Of those 8,688 professors, 5,197 (59.8%) were registered as either Republican or Democrat. He wrote, “The mean Democratic-to-Republican ratio (D:R) across the sample is 10.4:1, but because of an anomaly in the definition of what constitutes a liberal arts college in the <em>U.S. </em><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em>News </em>survey</span>, I include two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis. If these are excluded, the D:R ratio is a whopping 12.7:1.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Langbert pointed out that in response to the widespread bias displayed at universities, over 1,000 professors and graduate students had started Heterodox Academy, an organization committed to increasing “viewpoint diversity” in higher education.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">There were exceptions to the pervasive prejudice against conservatism at colleges and universities, but notably, they were primarily either religious or military colleges. Thomas Aquinas had 33 full-time faculty; all were Republican. West Point and Annapolis were more balanced than most universities; they had D:R ratios of 1.3:1 and 2.3:1. Claremont McKenna and Kenyon colleges also featured more viewpoint diversity.</p>

College Students Fake Leftist Views To Please Professors, New Research Shows

<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Thursday, following President Trump’s determined violent crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., the city’s police department has decided to break from its existing policy as a &#8220;sanctuary city&#8221; to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Sanctuary cities” generally restrict local law enforcement from notifying federal immigration enforcement authorities about individuals not in custody. Some examples include Boston, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, and San Diego.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A press release signed by Washington D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith stated, “Effective immediately, members may assist federal immigration enforcement agencies with the following: Sharing information about persons not in MPD custody (e.g., during traffic stops). Providing transportation for federal immigration agency employees and detained subjects,&#8221; NBC 4&#8217;s Mark Segraves reported.</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-4027">End of Summer Sale &#8211; Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The statement cautioned, “Members shall not arrest individuals based solely on federal immigration warrants or detainers as long as there is no additional criminal warrant or underlying offense for which the individual is subject to arrest. &#8230; members shall not provide to a federal immigration enforcement agency, for an individual in MPD custody, their date and time of release, location, address, personal identifying information, medical information, photograph, or criminal case information. ”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">In April, President Trump stated on social media, “No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The Trump administration has been pushing city and state officials to hold suspects longer to transfer them to federal custody without the use of judicial warrants,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-plans-to-withhold-all-federal-funding-from-sanctuary-cities-f2ce7387?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAgqKu9cjqBzl8olmJotxsuqkSxP2UGpn_8Z7cnxH0PilKAPBylXf0d_Y_YZV6w%3D&amp;gaa_ts=689df7d2&amp;gaa_sig=Tkdq1FcDidNbo1EPrkl2nE21An2S4PpmJClCn2214iU1-yJpeQUbxIHRR69ibVHwE5FQs5hEtT8JGmi4difKLQ%3D%3D">reported</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On April 28, Trump issued an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-protects-american-communities-from-criminal-aliens/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">executive order</a> that ordered the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to “publish a list of States and local jurisdictions obstructing federal immigration law enforcement and notify each sanctuary jurisdiction of its non-compliance, providing an opportunity to correct it. Sanctuary jurisdictions that do not comply with federal law may lose federal funding.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Back in February, President Donald Trump suggested the federal government should “take over” Washington, D.C., to crack down on crime and address widespread homelessness, declaring, “I think that we should govern the District of Columbia. I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawless.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And I think we should take over Washington, D.C. We could save people from getting killed,” Trump added. “They have a great police department there. Somehow they’re not utilized properly. We should govern D.C. The federal government should take over the governance of D.C. and run it really, really properly.”</p>

Trump Effect: D.C. Police Break From Sanctuary City Policies, Will Cooperate With ICE

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The father of an Israeli hostage who Hamas and Palestinian civilians took on October 7, 2023, believes that, despite his son being held captive, destroying Hamas must take precedence over saving the hostages, declaring that the goal for Israel “cannot be to bring [Hamas] to talks; it must be to destroy them.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">While the families of other hostages insist that saving the hostages must be prioritized over destroying Hamas, Tzvika Mor, the chairman of the Tikvah Forum and the father of hostage Eitan Mor — who was seized by Palestinians as he was working as a security guard at the Nova Festival — wants the IDF to pursue more aggressive actions, rather than mitigate the military response because of the hostages.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The question isn’t what they’re going to do, but what is the goal?” he told <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2025/08/tzvika-mor-gaza-war-hamas-hostages-israel-netanyahu/">Jewish Insider</a>. “If the goal is to lead Hamas to negotiate, it will fail, just like in Gideon’s Chariots, which took five months and didn’t bring back the hostages and didn’t destroy Hamas. The goal cannot be to bring [Hamas] to talks; it must be to destroy them.’</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Is our war in Gaza necessary?” he asked. “If there weren’t hostages, would we still need to go to war? The answer is yes, because [Hamas] cannot remain our neighbors after we saw what they can do, or they would do it again. They are religious people; they live for this. They don’t live for a nice house and a car and social status. Not for coffee shops and pilates. They live to kill Jews. They’re like zombies. You have to destroy them. The war would be necessary even if there were no hostages. &#8230; It cannot be that we will endanger 10 million Israelis because of the hostages. We need to solve that problem such that we are not harming national security.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">He asserted that making the hostages the number one priority “not only harms national security, but it also hurts the hostages, because Hamas learns that they’re the most important to us and raises the price all the time. It’s indescribable stupidity.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">If Israel “concedes in Gaza, Hamas will never give up all of the hostages … And what would the message be to the Arabs in Judea and Samaria, that kidnapping Israelis is the best thing to do?” he asked rhetorically.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mor ripped the Israeli media that has criticized him for his stance, saying, “The Israeli media doesn’t help. They lead the campaign” to vilify him. “But I feel that I am a messenger of the people of Israel. It is clear to me that the people of Israel want to win … They are connected to their roots, to the Land of Israel and to Judaism. They don’t want to be sold dreams and delusions that ‘it will all be OK, we can give in to terror and then deal with it later.’ We can’t ‘deal’ with it. If we surrender, we will pay a higher price.”</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=summer&amp;utm_content=editorialsummersale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">End of Summer Sale &#8211; Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a></b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Mor analogized the current situation to the Biblical Abraham, who used an army to rescue his nephew Lot, who had been kidnapped by four kings. Abraham “didn’t talk to them. He didn’t pay them. He fought a war until they surrendered. That is the way,” he said, adding, “The war cannot be about the hostages, and I say that as the father of a hostage. How many soldiers should be killed for the hostages? You don’t go to war to bring back hostages. You go to war for sovereignty, for deterrence. Then, when you win, you get your captives back.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Israel used to know that “it was clear that there was no negotiating with terrorists,” he recalled. “We would try to save our hostages and take risks, but we could not give in to terrorism.” He pointed out that the Yachin Research Center had estimated that four times more Israelis were killed in terrorist attacks between the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 2023 than in 1949-1992. “That means that since Israel gave in to terrorism, more Israelis were murdered. It’s clear … That needs to stop,” he commented.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He is very strong, physically and mentally. He was very Zionist. He was a fighter and commander in the Golani Brigade &#8230; He’s not soft; he doesn’t whine. He is strong; he’s a leader. We are sure that if he is with other hostages, he is helping them and strengthening them,” Mor said of his son.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Nova survivors said that Eitan left his hiding place and saved their lives, which his father said ‘tells you the most about him,’” Jewish Insider reported, as Mor added, “He could have gone home at 6:29, but he stayed to save people. He hid people and ran with them until he was kidnapped at 12:30, not by Hamas but by Gazan civilians.”</p>
