										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s curious to see how the Democrats and their media are now being very careful as to vetting the background of a Supreme Court nominee. They have a history, whether we’re talking about <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this-day-senate-rejects-robert-bork-for-the-supreme-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert Bork</a> or <a href="http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,974096,00.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Clarence Thomas</a> or now Brett Cavanaugh, of bringing unprovable allegations against those nominated by Republicans.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Christine Blasey Ford yearbook pic" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Christine-Blasey-Ford-yearb.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129145 size-medium" title="Christine Blasey Ford yearbook pic" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Christine-Blasey-Ford-yearb-150x121.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Christine-Blasey-Ford-yearb-150x121.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Christine-Blasey-Ford-yearb-500x404.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Christine-Blasey-Ford-yearb.jpg 659w" alt="" width="150" height="121" /></a><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Christine Blasey Ford said that during a high-school party Judge Kavanaugh and another boy, Mark Judge, who were both extremely drunk locked her in a bedroom. In her telling of events, Judge Kavanaugh climbed on top of her, covered her mouth, and was trying to remove her clothes. She told The Post that she though he would “inadvertently kill me.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“On Friday, Judge Kavanaugh ‘categorically and unequivocally’ denied this allegation. This has not changed. Judge Kavanaugh and the White House both stand by that statement,” White House spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement. Mr. Kavanaugh also confirmed Monday he would return to Congress in order to talk about the allegations.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“<strong>I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago and defend my integrity</strong>,” he said in a statement. Mr. Kavanaugh also noted that “because this never happened” he had no idea Ms. Ford was the one to accuse him until she revealed herself in The Washington Post.</span><br />

<p>There are things, those who have something to hide, do with regularity.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Christine Blasey Ford" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129165 size-medium" title="Christine Blasey Ford" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord-150x100.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ChristineBlaseyFord.jpg 696w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Christine Blasey Ford has deleted her social media pages.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Ford signed a letter with other health professionals demanding that President Donald Trump stop his controversial policy on family separations at the border. She signed the letter as Christine Blasey, and it was used as an exhibit in an ACLU lawsuit against the Trump administration.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>The Washington Post reports that she is a “registered Democrat who has made small contributions to political organizations.”</strong></span><br />

<p>And of course, there are certain things you WON’T see or hear on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, the New York Times….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Martha G. Kavanaugh" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129150 size-medium" title="Martha G. Kavanaugh" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh-150x100.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh-500x332.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Martha-G.-Kavanaugh.jpg 594w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Martha G. Kavanaugh, the mother of Brett Kavanaugh was a Maryland district judge in 1996. In an amazing coincidence, <strong>Martha Kavanaugh was the judge in a foreclosure case in which Christine Blasey-Ford’s parents were the defendants.</strong> Now it all becomes clear. Blasey-Ford is going after Brett Kavanaugh, not because of what he did in high school. Instead, Christine Blasey-Ford is going after Brett Kavanaugh out of spite and revenge for a case ruled on by Kavanaugh’s mother. Martha Kavanaugh, Brett’s mother was Montgomery County Circuit Court judge from 1993 until she retired in 2001. <strong>During a 1996 foreclosure case, Martha Kavanaugh ruled against the parents of Christine Blasey-Ford in a foreclosure case.</strong></span><br />

<p>With that, we applaud the Democrat Party for seeking the truth when it comes to seating someone who’ll have as much influence as a Supreme Court judge.</p>
<p>It’s too bad they’re not consistent.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I swear that I will most zealously and valiantly shield and preserve by any and all justifiable means and methods… white supremacy.</span><br />

Not long after, a reporter exposed his affiliation with notorious racist organization the Ku Klux Klan.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“<strong>Justice Black Revealed as Ku Klux Klansman</strong>,” reads the headline on the front page of the September 13, 1937 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Reporter Ray Sprigle’s investigation of Black’s links to the Klan revealed that he joined the organization in September 1923 and resigned almost two years later, in July 1925.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“His resignation, scrawled in longhand on a sheet of the stationery of the Grand Dragon of the Alabama Klan, was the first move of his campaign for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator from Alabama,” Sprigle wrote. But the reporter had also discovered that in September 1926, while he was still running for the Senate, Black was welcomed back into the Klan and given a life membership.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" style="color: #808080;" title="Hugo Black" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129142 size-medium" title="Hugo Black" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1-150x150.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hugo-Black-1.jpg 300w" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>“They brought out no new facts that have not been thoroughly brought out in campaigns in Alabama,” Black wrote in a letter to an acquaintance in late October 1937. “With their practically united press, however <em>(which is chiefly against the President Franklin D. Roosevelt)</em>, they had no difficulty in making the public believe that they had broken a startling piece of news.” At a press conference, though, FDR <a style="color: #808080;" href="http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/_resources/images/pc/pc0054.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">maintained</a> he and the public hadn’t been aware of Black’s links to the Klan.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Some historical records indicate that Roosevelt did know about Black’s association with the KKK, Ball writes. But in terms of the public record, the matter rested there until Black’s death, a week after he retired from the Supreme Court after 34 years. In the course of that career, he made his mark <strong>“as a champion of civil rights and liberties,” the New York Time</strong><strong>s <a style="color: #808080;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0227.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote</a></strong> in his obituary.</span><br />

<p>Democrats continue to cover for the racists in their midst with the help of academia, the entertainment industry and the media, labeling <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2009/01/14/democrat-race-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">their own racists</a> as “civil rights” champions to blacks and impressionable young people. When liberal Democrats opt to discuss their racism, there’s almost consistently a justifiable excuse.</p>

<p>Democrats will do anything to preserve the right of the irresponsible to discard the inconvenient results of the promiscuous. Abortion is not about “women’s health” as they’ve been claiming for decades. Their icon, <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2009/04/13/hillary-clinton-planned-parenthoods-intent-renewed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger</a>, has proudly declared as much and black people continue to be their most targeted and coveted demographic.</p>
<p>Democrats are only thorough in vetting when it suits them and they’re also very good at hiding the backgrounds of their own, no matter how damaging and justifiably disqualifying.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to the culture created <em>(most recently post-Weinstein)</em>, a woman can cheat on her husband and once caught, scream rape, play the victim and ruin a man’s already damaged life to save her own ass.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Town Administrator Allan Chiocca" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Town-Administrator-Allan-Chiocca.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-125794 size-medium" title="Town Administrator Allan Chiocca" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Town-Administrator-Allan-Chiocca-150x229.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Town-Administrator-Allan-Chiocca-150x229.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Town-Administrator-Allan-Chiocca.jpg 259w" alt="" width="150" height="229" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Town Administrator Allan R. Chiocca has been placed on paid administrative leave while an external harassment investigation looks into “serious allegations against certain town officials,” town solicitor John Clifford said Tuesday.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Four of the town’s five selectmen gathered Tuesday night and voted immediately to move their meeting behind closed doors in what’s known as “executive session,” which falls under an exception to the state’s open meeting law. After they returned to their public meeting about 15 minutes later, Clifford said the four selectmen had decided to hire attorney Regina Ryan of Discrimination and Harassment Solutions, LLC to look into the allegations.</span></p>

<p>Hall, a married mother, had initially claimed she was too intoxicated to have consensual sex with Chiocca, but the investigation found otherwise.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“Regina Ryan’s account showed that Mrs. Hall was really the aggressor and Mr. Chiocca was not,”</strong> said Larry Ryan, who is now Chairman of Rockland’s Board of Selectmen.</span><br />

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Last week, a report by Discrimination and Harassment Solutions, LLC concluded that then-selectman Deirdre Hall used her position as selectman to pressure Chiocca into engaging in sexual acts. Though <strong>Hall was found to be at fault</strong>, town attorney John Clifford said last week that the investigation identified “other serious misconduct” by Town Administrator Alan Chiocca, which is what led to Tuesday’s disciplinary meeting.</span></p>

The report says <strong>Kimball was “furious” to find out about the encounter between Chiocca and Hall, and that he demanded to be shown the surveillance footage without disclosing the nature of his interest.</strong></span><br />

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Allan Chiocca has been on administrative leave since May pending an investigation into “serious allegations” of sexual misconduct. Town officials in Rockland, Massachusetts, agreed Tuesday not to take disciplinary action against the town administrator after an investigation cleared him of sexual misconduct allegations, revealing that his accuser was actually the alleged aggressor.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/Action-Deferred-Against-Rockland-Town-Administrator-Alan-Chiocca-488461091.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBC 10 Boston, 7/17/18</a></p>
<p>Allan Chiocca isn’t really “cleared” here. Instead of engaging in sexual activity because he says he was being threatened, he could have reported it, a sting could’ve been set up so it wouldn’t end up being a “he said, she said” because we all know whose word is initially taken. Instead, Chiocca succumbed and he should never be allowed to be employed as a town administrator anywhere every again.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff9900;">UPDATE</span></h1>
<p>He initially rejected the idea of stepping down as Selectboard chair, was voted out of his chairmanship by his fellow colleagues but as a recall effort gained steam, sparing the potential damage to the ego was apparently was more important than doing right by the people, so…</p>

Edward Kimball, an eight-year member of the board, submitted his letter of resignation to the town clerk Tuesday morning.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">An independent investigator was hired by the town in May to look into claims by Deirdre Hall that Town Administrator Alan Chiocca had acted inappropriately toward her during an after-hours meeting at town hall that was caught on video. The motion included an affidavit from Kimball, which said Hall approached him and said Chiocca engaged in inappropriate behavior with her.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Kimball’s affidavit implied his interest in the claim about Chiocca was purely professional, but the report says he was “furious” to learn of the encounter and asked IT Director Eric Hart to show him the security footage.</span><br />

<p>With all the ensuing drama, we still have the false claim of “inappropriate behavior” we now know was instigated by Deirdre Hall, not to mention insidious family members who were able to look the other way for a variety of self-serving reasons.</p>
