PRESIDENT BIDEN says Digital Creators Are Future of News
WASHINGTON, DC - As he entered the Indian Treaty room in the White House Complex to address about 100 digital creators, President Joe Biden first paused to take a selfie with the crowd.
He then started by talking about how his grandchildren were not consuming the news by reading newspapers or watching television anymore.
“The fact is, you are the future,” President Biden said. “ You’re the source of the news.” He talked about how more people wanted to go into the creator business these days.
“What do you think when I retire? What do you think?,” he said, to raucous laughter. “I got contacts, man.”
President Biden talked about how his staff had informed him that creator economy was now worth $250 billion, how it is expected double in the next few years.
“I’d like to talk about borrowing some money from you all,” he said.
The creators are also changing the idea of what's consequential.
“You all understand that you have an obligation to report what you think is true and say what you think is true,” he said. “We've kind of divided into our competing camps. Now, I know I only look like I'm 40 but I've been around a long time, and it's never been this. I mean, the way we treat each other in politics.”
The President went on to reflect how the new technology is opening up so many possibilities for the future in the communications industry.
“I think you're gonna change the entire dynamic of the way in which we communicate. And that's why I invited you to the White House, because I'm looking for a job,” he said to loud laughter.
“Look, the innovation entrepreneur spirit in this room is what makes America, America. I know you've heard me say this before, but when I spent an awful lot of time with Xi Jining when I was vice president, and over 80 hours alone, just he and I talking,” President Biden recalled.

“I was traveling in China with him. And he asked me, he said, ‘Can you define America for me?’ I suggest I can. One word, possibilities. Possibilities. When you think, when you go around the world, as many of you have, you look at America like, you know, these guys can do anything when they set their mind to it. It's just a nation of possibilities and change. And you are the new possibilities. You are the new breakthrough in how we communicate and it matters.”

17th Ward Alderman Camps Out To Stop Drug Trafficking
Independent candidate for President Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced that he is “suspending” his campaign in states where he would merely be a “spoiler” and is throwing his support behind Republican candidate Donald J. Trump.
Here is yet another unexpected twist in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: controversial independent candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. announced Friday August 23rd that he is “suspending“ his campaign and throwing his support behind Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. This announcement, coming on the heels of an electrifying Democratic National Convention, presupposes that Robert Kennedy Jr’s followers will agree with his choice and follow his lead. But what if they don’t? And what is the real story behind this announcement?

A boutique hotel in Streeterville will soon be used to house the homeless, a decision some say came as a result of outrage expressed by many citizens when immigrant "asylum seekers" were provided housing while hundreds of Chicago's homeless remained sleeping on city streets in the cold. The city remains in an uproar over which of the unhoused populations will be given shelter.

IS NEW WHITE HOUSE IMMIGRANT POLICY DECREASING THE UNHOUSED?
WASHINGTON, DC - The White House Office of Communications issued a statement February 21, 2025 regarding the decreased request for shelters for the unhoused as a result of the Trump Administration's enforcement of deportation of illegal immigrants.
While mass deportation efforts are being met with protests in some cities, various agencies that provide emergency housing are seeing one particular result of mass deportations: a major decrease in the unhoused population. As stated by the White House Office of Communications:
Two years ago, U.S. Border Patrol agents encountered 1,500 illegal immigrants every day in the El Paso sector alone — now, they’re seeing roughly 80 per day amid President Donald J. Trump’s unprecedented effort to secure the homeland.
Now, organizations that once facilitated the invasion of illegal immigrants are finding out that sheltering them is no longer necessary: “It’s because migrants are not coming across the border right now,” one local reporter said.
President Trump addresses members of the Press regarding the policies now being enforced to identify illegal immigrants and arrange for their deportation. Shelters in cities across America were at one time filled with those who were fleeing Venezuela and other countries, many of whom were said to be undocumented. (file photo)
- Catholic Charities says they see only “zero to three families” at their McAllen, Texas, shelter and cut staff in Dallas due to the lack of need.
- A Brownsville, Texas, facility shut its doors due to the “sudden decrease in asylum seekers” over the past month.
- A migrant shelter network in El Paso, Texas, says just one or two of its 20 shelters will remain open.
- Pima County, Arizona, shut down two migrant shelters due to the lack of demand in the aftermath of President Trump's inauguration.In San Diego, California, a shelter “has not had a single migrant walk through its doors since President Trump took office” and has since closed altogether.
- In New York City, a network of shelters that once housed thousands of illegal immigrants have been closed.
- In northern Mexico, local news reports the flow of illegal immigrants seeking to enter the United States has “decreased enormously” — with facilities that once held thousands of illegals now seeing just a tiny fraction.
