Carolyn Hax: Boyfriend may have a baby with his ex and not know
His ex-girlfriend shares mutual Facebook friends with me, and when she came up as “People You May Know,” I took a peek. What’s unclear is whether he’s the father of her baby and knows of this child’s existence. But if he doesn’t know this child exists and it could be his, doesn’t this mean I have information I shouldn’t have and am withholding from him? — “People You May Know”A: That “if” does some hard work: It says you don’t know what your guy is or knows. Clearly, too, his ex is not fiercely guarding information that’s available to anyone she “may know” — so, again, no obligations confer.

Sheriff's lieutenant apologizes for 'won't help Democrats' post, blames medication
If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you,” Rodgers reportedly wrote in one post. “I think the public should still be safe, with the Clark County sheriff's department and the Springfield Police Department at work,” he told The Associated Press. “We're all fighting for the same outcome, which is to have a peaceful day.”A sheriff’s office statement said the posts do not reflect the office’s mission and values. “It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff’s Office delivery of service to ALL our community," the statement said. Clark is not the only Ohio county dealing with controversial statements made by law enforcement officials on social media.

Audrey Clement is suing The Washington Post
An Arlington County Board candidate is suing The Washington Post over the publication’s reporting on her age. The lawsuit by independent candidate Audrey Clement, which alleges age discrimination and defamation, concerns a candidate questionnaire that the Post ran in October 2021. Clement reported on the questionnaire that she was 52 years old — but a review of government records indicated she was actually 72, according to the Post. According to the Post, the candidate refused to confirm her age in response to follow-up questions, but said she had “achieved the age of 52.”“I believe that The Washington Post doesn’t have any right to require that information of me or any other political candidate,” Clement told the newspaper. “Because the claims are incurably defective, the Court should dismiss the Complaint with prejudice,” the Post wrote in a court filing.

"We have argued all year that OPEC's oil market balance is out of sync with reality."

Taiwan Readies For U.S. Election — And Potential ‘Uncertainty’ Ahead
The vote comes as observers worry a flashpoint is nearing for bubbling tensions between communist-led China and Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China. In 2022, Biden vowed to defend Taiwan if China tried to invade. And last week, the U.S. approved the sale of nearly $2 billion worth of arms to Taiwan, including advanced surface-to-air missile defense systems. “In the past, China always said that if China found any foreign military in Taiwan, it would be considered a declaration of war, but now we have the U.S. Army [Special Forces stationed] in Taiwan. When asked about Trump’s comments, a Chinese official implied that Trump could abandon Taiwan if reelected as president.

What It Would Take to Charge Donald Trump with Inciting Insurrection
Trump also made some evidentiary arguments against the claim that Trump incited the attack. Trump argued, for example, that rioters planned their attack in advance, and so couldn’t have been incited by Trump. As noted, SCOTUS interpreted 18 USC 1512(c)(2) in a way that may imperil Smith’s ability to tie Trump to the actions the mob took via his obstruction charge. If Jack Smith had charged Trump with inciting insurrection on August 2023, the case still would have gone to SCOTUS. Merrick Garland might yet charge Trump with insurrection.
