Remember the slogan the Washington Post adopted in February 2017 soon after Donald Trump was inaugurated as President? "Democracy Dies In Darkness." Well, apparently that has been tossed down the memory hole by that newspaper's columnist, Dana Milbank, whose attitude now seems to be "Democracy Dies In Daylight."Militant Milbank made clear he adheres to the new journalistic philosophy on MSNBC's PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton on Sunday when he went a step beyond merely complaining, as much of the liberal media is currently doing, that Tucker Carlson is the first to be allowed to look at the 40,000 hours of security...

He’s the Whine House Chief of Staff. President Biden’s top aide, Ron Klain, took to Twitter Saturday to decry press coverage of his boss. The chief of staff — known to insiders as the “Prime Minister” for his outside influence inside the West Wing — shared an opinion essay from the Washington Post arguing that Biden was receiving worse coverage than former President Trump. The piece from Post opinion columnist Dana Milbank warned that “My colleagues in the media are serving as accessories to the murder of democracy.” Milbank said he came to the conclusion after an analysis of more...

Do a search for “Larry Elder” and gorilla on the CNN website and nothing comes up. Washington Post? Zilch. Nothing comes up on The New York Times site either, although if you make it to the 15th paragraph of a story titled “The Vice President pushed back against the effort to recall Newsom in the Bay Area,” you will find a bland passing reference to Wednesday’s disgusting incident. According to our nation’s media leaders, it’s not a story that a white person wearing a gorilla mask attacked Larry Elder, a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of...

Rashida Tlaib’s bigotry comes from the MAGA handbook Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in June 2019. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) Opinion by Dana Milbank Columnist Today at 7:29 p.m. EDT It’s a classic Trump move: Blame a minority group for a sinister conspiracy, then deny responsibility when your supporters act on your baseless claim.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank published a babbling op-ed smearing Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought. It’s worth noting that Milbank is the same individual who disturbingly said he’d eat his own print newspaper column if then-candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 Republican nomination. Milbank’s op-ed was erroneously headlined “Meet the Trump saboteur in charge of undermining Biden — and America.” He spewed that “[W]hat Russ Vought is very good at is sabotage. He’s sabotaging national security, the pandemic response and the economic recovery — all to make things more difficult for the incoming Biden administration.” He...

In some ways, it’s unfair to compare California and Georgia, for they are remarkably different. California’s population is 39,512,223 with an average population density of 253.6 per square mile; Georgia’s population is 10,617423 with an average population density of 165 per square mile. California’s largest city, Los Angeles, has 3,990,456 people; Georgia’s largest city, Atlanta, has 523,738 people. Nevertheless, because I haven’t forgotten April 21, when Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post, promised us that “Georgia leads the race to become America’s No. 1 Death Destination,” the two states deserve to be compared. The occasion for Milbank’s article was Governor...

Pass the salt and pepper. It appears that the Washington Post's Dana Milbank has written another column that he needs to eat. This time it is a column chock full of abusurdity so it will probably be harder to digest than during Milbank's previous column dining experience. The premise of Milbank's column on Thursday is that the real reason why we are currently experiencing an impeachment process is not due to the Democrats' urge to impeach from the moment President Trump was elected in 2016. No, according to Milbank the true impeachment culprit is..... Chief Justice John Roberts. I kid you not....

Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset. This doesn’t mean he’s a spy, but neither is it a flip accusation. Russia attacked our country in 2016. It is attacking us today. Its attacks will intensify in 2020. Yet each time we try to raise our defenses to repel the attack, McConnell, the Senate majority leader, blocks us from defending ourselves. Let’s call this what it is: unpatriotic. The Kentucky Republican is, arguably more than any other American, doing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s bidding. Robert Mueller sat before Congress this week warning that the Russia threat “deserves the attention of every American.”...

World leaders have assembled on the English Channel this week, on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, for two days of ceremonies recalling the unrivaled bravery and sacrifice of Donald Trump. President Trump, staying at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in London, was up early Wednesday morning and already thinking deep and profound thoughts on the theme of the day: himself. “Washed up psycho @BetteMidler was forced to apologize for a statement she attributed to me that turned out to be totally fabricated by her in order to make ‘your great president’ look really bad,” he tweeted. It was 1:30 a.m. D-Day...

White House denies limiting columnist's access under new '50 percent' rule © Getty Images The White House is pushing back on a claim by Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank who said a press pass he held for more than two decades was revoked for “being a Trump critic.” “No one’s access is being limited,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday night in response a Milbank column published by The Post earlier in the day. The back-and-forth comes after the White House announced new rules regarding the number of reporters who are granted hard passes, which allows a...

No, Mitch McConnell, it isn’t “case closed.” No, Mr. Leader, it’s not “finally over.” No, we’re not going to “end this.” Neither will we “move on.”

Watch in slow motion as Democrats, goaded by the media, conspire to re-elect President Trump: Voters care about the economy and making education and health care affordable. And so Democrats are talking about … abolishing the Electoral College? Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren started the latest distraction at a CNN town hall on Monday. “Get rid of the Electoral College,” she said, neglecting to mention that this has zero chance of occurring in the foreseeable future. The media took it from there. On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Garrett Haake pressed former representative Beto O’Rourke: “Getting rid of the Electoral College: Is that an...

The oppositional ardor that Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank directs at President Donald Trump is never-ending in its silliness. Milbank's latest absurdity is that Trump is a Soviet version of The Man in the High Castle. In other words he is calling the president a traitor doing the bidding of Russian (not Soviet) leader Vladimir Putin. This article is a rare example of the Post missing the chance for disclosure: High Castle is a show made for Amazon Prime, and Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post. Milbank is too much a rebel to be...

A question to my colleagues in the media: Why do we play President Trump’s foil? The scene in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Thursday night was familiar: journalists on an elevated platform in the middle of the arena, penned in, filming the proceedings and typing on their laptops while the president of the United States points at them and provokes thousands of people to boo them, jeer them, taunt them and chant (“CNN sucks!”). By my count, the president attacked the press — what he calls “the enemy of the American people” — no fewer than 21 times during his 75-minute speech, accusing...

By one key measure, it is now official: This is the most authoritarian Congress in history. The House Rules Committee, meeting in its ornate chamber on the third floor of the Capitol on Monday night, sent two bills to the House floor under “closed” rules — that is, legislation that must be rubber stamped in toto, without being amended by so much as a comma. That brings the number of closed rules in this Congress to 84, beating the previous record of 83 set in 2014, according to the Democrats’ tally (a Republican tally counts one fewer). And here’s the...

At long last, have they left no sense of decency? White House official Kelly Sadler, during a meeting Thursday, had this to say about Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for opposing President Trump’s CIA nominee over her failure to condemn torture: “It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway.”

You might remember that on September 15, columnist Dana Milbank of the Washington Post claimed that Trump is killing him. However, before Milbank has a chance to kick the bucket he will apparently lose his mind. Yes, Milbank is now also claiming in his September 22 column that President Trump actually is making us crazy:

President Trump is killing me. Really. By Dana Milbank Opinion writer September 15 at 7:46 PM President Trump is killing me. No, really. He’s killing me. I went for my annual physical last month, and, for the first time in my 49 years, I had to report that I’ve not been feeling well: fatigue, headaches, poor sleep, even some occasional chest pain. My doctor checked my blood pressure, which had always been normal before: alarmingly high! What could this mean? I don’t smoke, I’m not obese and I swim most days. The doctor hooked me up to electrodes and ran...

Poor Dana Milbank. For all of his life he has been the picture of perfect health. And then Donald Trump was elected President and completely ruined it to the point where he is now dying. Milbank discusses his health crises in his September 15 Washington Post column, President Trump is killing me. Really.

Allow me a moment of pride: The hot new criticism of my fellow Jews is that we don’t complain enough. Really. A host of pundits, concerned about President Trump’s baffling unwillingness to single out neo-Nazis for criticism, are turning to the American Jewish community and pleading: Would it kill you to maybe kvetch a bit? The idea we haven’t protested is bonkers, but more important, the left’s campaign to get all Jews to publicly denounce Trump has taken a profoundly dangerous and ugly turn. And it needs to stop. On Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported that a coalition of left-leaning...
