The police chief who led the raid of a Kansas newspaper alleged in previously unreleased court documents a reporter either impersonated someone else or lied about her intentions when she obtained the driving records of a local business owner.

But reporter Phyllis Zorn, Marion County Record Editor and Publisher Eric Meyer and the newspaper’s attorney said Sunday that no laws were broken when Zorn accessed a public state website for information on restaurant operator Kari Newell.

Small town Kansas newspaper raided by cops, lots of electronics seized, supposedly for lying to get someone's driving record.  Seems like there may be more than meets the eye to this one, we will have to try to keep an eye on it.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India became the first country to land a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole on Wednesday — a historic voyage to uncharted territory that scientists believe could hold vital reserves of frozen water, and a technological triumph for the world’s most populous nation.

After a failed attempt to land on the moon in 2019, India now joins the United States, the Soviet Union and China as only the fourth country to achieve this milestone. A lander with a rover inside touched down on the lunar surface at 6:04 p.m. local time, sparking celebrations across India, including in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru, where space scientists watching the landing erupted in cheers and applause.

A new space race?  A new distraction?

A new space race?  A new distraction?

And it was a space RACE: Russia was trying to beat them there, just like they were trying to beat Apollo 11 - and crashed the attempt.

There appear to be two reasons, one it's on the dark side of the moon, and two, there seem to be some theories that there is frozen water under the lunar south pole.

Chicago Dem Predicts City's Migrant Crisis Will Intensify Ahead of Democratic Convention

An aide to Chicago's Democratic mayor is worried that Republican governors will bus more migrants to the city before it hosts the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

"We have to plan for the increase. They’re gonna do everything they can because this is all political, and they want to make the case that Democratic-led cities are not capable of living up to the values that we have," Cristina Pacione-Zayas, deputy chief of staff for Mayor Brandon Johnson, said Monday. The convention is slated for next August.

Pacione-Zayas said Republicans want to "topple our operation" and prove Democrats are "incompetent."

The city is already struggling to care for thousands of illegal immigrants, Fox 32 Chicago reported:

Over the last week alone, the number of new arrivals sleeping on the floors of Chicago police stations has increased 6% — to 1,100 — even though Johnson has made it a priority to "decompress" police stations. Another 170 new arrivals have taken up residence at O’Hare International Airport.

With 15 shelters housing 6,360 new arrivals, Chicago already spends upward of $20 million per month to house, feed, clothe and care for migrants. The $51 million in emergency funding approved by a divided City Council on May 31 carried the city only through June 30.

They say they were a Sanctuary City. They got their wish.
