Smearing Dr. Carson - Has the Left Gone Too Far?

PPPS (Washington DC)—Even as legitimate news organizations (CNN, Politico, PPPS) are seriously questioning some of GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson's biographical embellishments, there have also been a few stories and accusations which are, let us say, questionable.

Radical extremist Right-Wing news organizations have responded in defense of the good doctor, labeling news coverage and opposition political ads as part of a smear campaign, and even claiming that some of the news stories reflect a Left-Wing bias.

We were recently approached by an organization to post this paid advertisement on our news blog. PPPS has a strict policy against accepting money for political ads, but we also thought we would let our readers decide the question:

Has the Left gone too far?


Members of our PPPS investigative team are currently all in Germany working on another story, but look for updates as we investigate political committees such as the Progressive Plantation Protection Project.

BREAKING: More Ben Carson Lies?

PPPS (Munich)—Has GOP Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson once again been exposed as a liar?

In one of his books, Dr. Ben Carson claims to have performed brain surgery on two German twins, Patrick and Benjamin Binder, who were joined at the head.

But our crack crew of investigators at the Pundit Pete Press Service have traveled to Germany and interviewed several high school friends of the twins. 

Not one of them says they ever saw the twins joined at the head.

Our PPPS investigators were able to obtain an exclusive photograph of the Binder twins, proving beyond any doubt that they are not co-joined at the head.

We can only conclude that Dr. Carson has been less than fully truthful in his biography and is therefore not qualified to be President.

Did the Benghazi Hearing Seal the Deal for Hillary?

PPPS (Littleton)—New polling by the Pundit Pete Press Services indicates a significant bump in popularity for Hillary Clinton following her outstanding performance Thursday before the Congressional Benghazi Committee. Coupled with her overwhelming dominance at the Presidential Debate on October 13th, and the announcement by Vice President Biden that he was not going to run, it appears that Secretary Clinton is certain to receive the Democrat Party nomination.

This new campaign ad released by a supportive Progressive PAC seems to sum up the mood of many voters.

Benghazi: Where Were Hillary and Barack?

PPPS (Washington, DC)—The whereabouts of President Obama and Secretary Clinton on the night of the Benghazi protest event has remained a mystery for over three years. But with a late-Friday document release from the State Department today, that mystery may have finally been solved.

Benghazi Hearing Update: Controversial Memo Released Which May Exonerate Clinton

PPPS (Washington, DC)—BREAKING NEWS

In a shocking twist this evening during the prolonged Benghazi Hearing, a previously withheld memorandum was released which may fully exonerate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her email controversy. The memorandum was apparently among the documents presented during the confidential hearing testimony by Huma Abedin last week.


Under rigorous grilling by Republican Representative Jim Jordon, Secretary Clinton had indicated that her emails were subjected to search criteria and that she had directed her assistant Huma Abedin and attorneys to undertake that task. At this point, Ranking Democrat on the Committee, Elijah Cummings, interrupted and stated that a document existed which would support the Secretary's testimony. He then challenged Chairman Trey Gowdy to release the document.

Gowdy & Cummings butting heads.
There were several minutes of heated argument between Gowdy and Cummings, including accusations that the Republicans were participating in party politics and hiding information which might exonerate the Secretary. After a brief adjournment, Gowdy agreed to release the memorandum in the interest of full disclosure.

After the memo was projected onto screens in the hearing room, committee members and hearing observers alike were stunned when they realized that the memorandum substantiated the Secretary's testimony that only non-work related emails had in fact been deleted.

BREAKING NEWS - Clintons to Release New Book on Economic Policy

PPPS (Littleton)—BREAKING NEWS

PPPS has uncovered information that Bill and Hillary Clinton are about to release a new book on economic policy which touts their business success.

It is suspected that the book is intended to counter the recent rise of two GOP candidates, Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump, who have considerable business credentials.

A secondary purpose will be to allow Bill to jointly campaign with Hillary under the guise of a book tour. Last year Hillary Clinton very successfully laid the groundwork for her current campaign success with a national tour for her book Hard Choices.

There will be more details to follow in this breaking story.

But first, PPPS has obtained a top secret copy of the book cover. Remember, you saw it here first.

FBI Seizes Key Document in Clinton Email Investigation

PPPS (Littleton)—FBI agents raided the offices of the Pundit Pete Press Service early this morning and seized a document believed to be key in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

The document, a memo reportedly between Huma Abedin and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had previously surfaced  in March, 2015, but was overlooked by the mainstream media and Congressional investigators at that time.

Pundit Pete, who for financial reasons had temporarily taken up residence on a cot in the back of the PPPS office, was abruptly awakened at about 2 AM when at least a dozen, heavily-armed FBI agents broke down the front door and entered with rifles pointed.

Pete, who was obviously shaken by the experience, recalled the initial tense encounter, "As a journalist, my first instinct was to reach for my smartphone, but dropped it when I saw that both my hand and chest were painted with tiny laser targets."

The FBI began immediately to ransack the PPPS offices, while shouting "Where's the memo? Give us the memo!" Pete, ever the professional, calmly pointed to the memo tacked up on the wall, in plain sight, amidst a grouping of photos of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton, Cheryl Mills, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump, with lines linking to the memo or to the other photos.

The tension dissipated after Pete offered the agents coffee and slices of his Mom's famous sour creme coffee cake. The FBI agents soon left, taking the memo, one of the PPPS computers, two thumb drives, and Pete's cell phone, but leaving the rest of the office intact.

Pete, however, was forced to sign an affidavit stating that under penalty of perjury, "I, Pundit Pete, state that I have identified and turned over all copies of the subject memorandum in my possession, in printed or electronic format, and that, to the best of my knowledge, no other copies of the subject memorandum exist."

However, the staff members of PPPS (who shall remain anonymous), take the courageous stand that we are not bound by Pete's affidavit and asserting our 1st Amendment right of freedom of the press, hereby publish a copy of said memo.

(click to enlarge) PPPS not responsible for the viral distribution of this document.
Pundit Pete, who has gone into hiding at an undisclosed location, issued the following statement:
The Pundit Pete Press Service strongly objects to the raid on our offices by the FBI. I have directed our staff attorney, Pleader Pete, to immediately file a complaint in the U.S. District Court for this serious and unprecedented violation of our 1st Amendment right of Freedom of the Press.
Furthermore, I acknowledge that my staff have decided, of their own volition, and without direct instructions from me, to exercise their free speech and freedom of the press rights, and to release a copy of the confiscated document for the American people to see, in contradiction of the specific and unconstitutional directive from the FBI not to do so.

President Obama Responds to Chinese Hack Attack

PPPS (Washington)—At a press briefing today, National Security Adviser Susan Rice indicated that President Obama has authorized a full-scale response, short of putting boots on the ground, to the recent hacking of U.S. government personnel records by Chinese operatives.

"The President recognizes that when the Chinese government institutes a cyber attack on government employees, and not just on regular citizens, corporations and our military, the Reds have clearly crossed a red line. All options are on the table at this point."

PPPS has learned that one of those options may be to use a new cyber warfare weapon, similar to weapons deployed in the past to successfully defeat Al Qaeda. 


PPPS has obtained this exclusive photograph of the new weapon.

PPPS Denies Clinton Foundation Contributions May Have Impacted News Coverage

PPPS (Littleton)—A controversy has recently surfaced in the news business involving ABC News Anchor George Stephanopoulos's aggressive and belligerent interview of Peter Schweitzer, author of the new book Clinton Cash, and the failure by Sephanopoulos to report contributions totaling $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation prior to or during the interview.

While, as a unbiased news organization, PPPS does not opine on the content of the book Clinton Cash or on Mr. Stephenopoulos' journalistic integrity, we do acknowledge that, along with numerous other news organizations and media personalities, PPPS has also contributed to certain charitable organizations associated with the Clintons.

With that in mind, we, the staff at the Pundit Pete Press Service, make the following formal statement.

PPPS Formal Statement

The Pundit Pete Press Service (PPPS) regrets any perception of bias or inappropriate influence which others might incorrectly associate with past (or present) PPPS contributions and/or payment of speaking fees which may have been made to the following charity organizations and funds: 
  • the Clinton Foundation; 
  • the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation; 
  • the Clinton Presidential Library Fund; 
  • the Clinton Global Initiative; 
  • the Bill and Hillary Legal Defense Fund; 
  • the Bill Has Still Got to Pay the Bills Fund;
  • the Ready for Hillary 2016 Fund;
  • the Campaign to Elect Hillary Clinton First Woman President Fund.
If at any time, PPPS had suspected that Secretary Clinton, after resigning from government service in 2012, harbored even the slightest intention of once again running for president or any other public office, we would not have continued making contributions to any of the above-listed funds and organizations during the period of 2012 through 2014.  
Furthermore, with Secretary Clinton's recent surprising announcement of her candidacy for president, PPPS has formally suspended any additional contributions and installments for 2015 (other than those already committed).
PPPS is also announcing disciplinary action  against two long-time PPPS employees, Progressive Pete and Pixel Pete, for professional behavior unbecoming of a journalist. Both employees have been formally reprimanded and suspended for two weeks with pay.
PPPS makes a formal acknowledgement of contributions totaling between $3,532 and $3,532,000 made to the above-listed charitable organizations (as required and reported in publicly available documents).
PPPS states categorically, that said contributions, and any associated benefits, such as (but not limited to) exclusive media access, news tips, personal interviews, plane rides, dinners, hotel accommodations, tickets to sporting events, jewelry, clothing, and miscellaneous unmentionables, had absolutely no influence whatsoever on the selection of or failure to report on any news stories, the content of those news stories, or any editorial commentary produced by the Pundit Pete Press Service in any electronic, print, graphical or video format.
Finally, it should be noted that Pundit Pete, CEO and Editor-In-Chief at PPPS, had no personal knowledge of any of the above-alluded-to financial contributions or employee actions, and therefore, should not be disqualified as a potential moderator for any of the upcoming 2016 presidential campaign debates.

Additional Related Background Information

Progressive Pete, without the knowledge of upper management, has been utilizing our Employee Matching Charity Contribution Program to assign regular bi-weekly deductions of $5 from his paycheck to the Clinton Foundation.
The Pixel Pete produced promotion.

Pixel Pete, again without the knowledge of upper management, was apparently responsible for the design of this major Ready for Hillary 2016 campaign promotion.


An unrepentant Progressive Pete, when notified of his two-week suspension, said, "My only regret is I was unable to donate more, although, as a percentage of salary, I'm pretty sure I've outdone Stephanopoulos."

Pixel Pete, upon receiving notice of the disciplinary action, indicated his regret for having assisted the Ready for Hillary 2016 organization and recognized that it may have been inappropriate to mix personal politics with his work at PPPS. After issuing a formal apology in the form of this graphic message, Pete did note that "the Clinton group paid me more for that one campaign promotion than I get here in a whole year."


Totally Unrelated Background Information:

In totally unrelated news, benevolent billionaire Philanthropist Pete announced that he was making a $100 million contribution to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation to help offset a recent precipitous drop in revenue.

PPPS has also learned that one of Philanthropist Pete's companies, Pete Industries, Inc. has agreed to match Pete's personal contribution with a corporate check for $100 million. A spokesperson for Pete Industries, a global resource extraction company with substantial market share in the mining, energy and timber sectors, indicated that the contribution was "in honor of our founder and CEO, and his special passion for saving the rain forest."

In the interest of full disclosure, we note that Philanthropist Pete is also a frequent financial contributor to PPPS and holds the majority ownership in our news organization.

Could the Hillary Clinton Campaign Be Struggling?

PPPS (Littleton)—Here at the Pundit Pete Press Service 2016 Campaign Coverage Headquarters, we've observed that perhaps the Hillary Clinton campaign launch has not gone quite as well as was expected.

Could the constant mocking of her campaign logo be one cause?


Or could the endorsement of certain imprisoned world leaders be part of the problem?

Five Questions for Hillary That the Press Would Never Ask

PPPS (Des Moines)—We have dispatched our chief political correspondent, Political-Beat Pete, to Iowa to cover the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Unfortunately, for some reason, he has been banned from being in any proximity to the candidate.

Therefore, Pete is providing this list of questions, in hopes that others in the Press Gaggle may find an opportunity to pose them to our future First Woman President, Hillary Clinton.
1.  Under the Obama administration, led by an admittedly black president, we have seen a deterioration in race relations in the U.S., and on occasion, open rioting and looting. Under your administration, which, as you admit, would be led by a Woman President, can we expect to see a deterioration in relations between men and women, and open rioting and looting by crazed feminists?
2.  In the 2012 movie Lincoln, about a president that I'm sure most candidates for that office would aspire to be like in many ways, a question was posed by the actor Tommy Lee Jones playing the character Thaddeous Stevens:  "You are a Democrat. What's the matter with you? Are you wicked?" How would you respond to that question?
3.  This question addresses your considerable experience in foreign affairs from your time as Secretary of State.  There appears to be an uptick in violence in the Middle East and in Muslim cities around the world, and ISIS has recently been on a rampage destroying World Heritage Sites, some of which are thousands of years old. Many are now blaming a recently released campaign announcement video.  Do you agree with that assessment, and should the producer of that video be put in jail?
4.  Once you have been inaugurated as our nation's first Woman President, can we expect some significant changes in White House decor; such as, removal of the painting of our 42nd President from view, and installing a permanent Reset Button on the desk in the Oval Office?
5.  Once in office, will you and your staff be using @whitehouse.gov email addresses? Or will you have your own email server installed and protected by the Secret Service?

A Grateful Nation Anticipates Hillary's Historic Announcement

PPPS (New York)—With the email controversy  behind her, Democrat Frontrunner Hillary Clinton will make a formal announcement tomorrow that she is a candidate for President.


Ms. Clinton has indicated that she will make her announcement in a video released via social media, and it is predicted that millions of Americans will be maintaining a constant vigilance on their electronic devices.

To celebrate this historic event, we asked graphic artist, Pixel Pete, to create a campaign announcement which best reflects the anticipation being felt by voters around the nation.

SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE: At the request of the Clinton Campaign, Twitter and Facebook will temporarily shut down most accounts linked to conservative and Tea Party groups on Sunday, in order to free up the necessary bandwidth for Hillary's video.


Pixel Pete says feel free to share this if it will help.
EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: Through contacts at the Clinton Campaign headquarters in New York, PPPS has obtained this exclusive pre-announcement copy of a campaign promotion which emphasizes two key campaign theme elements, Hillary's gender and her experience as Secretary of State. 

BENEVOLENT NOTE OF CAUTION: Shortly after this story was first posted, we received this curious cautionary note from a person who emphasized that they were enthusiastically supporting a woman candidate for president. It was just signed, "With love, Carly".

BREAKING: Hillary Email Scandal, Key Document Surfaces in New York

PPPS (Chapaqua, NY)—Thanks to the efforts of our Chief Investigative Reporter, Poirot Pete, the Pundit Pete Press Service has uncovered a key document in the recent controversy surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email account.

Poirot Pete, posing as an undocumented worker at a local paper recycling drop off in Chapaqua, New York, uncovered this memo, purportedly from Huma Abedin to Hillary Clinton, and referencing the sorting of Hillary's emails using key words and phrases. The memo appears to contain personal notes from Secretary Clinton revising the list of key words and directing the email search and deletion of non-relevant emails.

Although our handwriting expert, Penmanship Pete, has yet to confirm the validity of the memo and notes, the memorandum does appear to validate Secretary Clinton's assertion that the email account on the Clintonemail.com server was often used for personal and charity business, and seldom for official State Department correspondence. Based upon this memo, it is safe to conclude that Secretary Clinton has fully complied with the State Department request to turn over relevant documents, and that only emails unrelated to her work as Secretary were actually deleted.

It is our hope that this memorandum, uncovered through the efforts of a PPPS reporter, will settle this issue, and allow Ms. Clinton to assume her rightful role as our nation's first woman President, without further controversy.

Georgia Middle-School Kid Doubles Down on Rudy's Remarks About Obama's Love for America

PPPS (Atlanta) A 12-year old Georgia middle school kid named CJ Pearson, after hearing former Mayor Rudy Giuliani suggest that President Obama does not love America, decided to double down on Rudy's remark and post his own thoughts on YouTube.

No further commentary is needed, as this young Patriot is pretty clear in his opinion.



H/T Suzi Q Starr and Western Journalism.


UPDATE: 
At a news conference today, members of the Press pressed Governor Scott Walker to denounce the CJ Pearson comments.

Walker declined, suggesting that they might want to bring the matter up at the next White House Press Briefing and let the President respond to the 12-year old, if he has the guts to do so.

The mainstream media immediately went with the headline "Walker is a Coward; Avoids Comment From 12-year old."

Ok, Ok. Now a Real UPDATE: Of course, this conservative kid got his Facebook page shut down. Go figure. Can't have any 12-year old's spouting rational thought and opinions - what if it was contageous.

PPPS (Littleton)—Millions of French citizens and several world leaders, rallied in Paris earlier today in defiance of Islamic terrorists.

Unfortunately, President Obama, was not among them.

Two community members of Littleton, Colorado, Citizen Caryn and Citizen Pete, sought to remedy that shameful absense in their own small way, by posting a message in solidarity with the French people on a local pedestrian bridge.

He turned out to be a French man named Tyler. 

Citizens Caryn and Pete said that one comment really made their day!
