— Democrats say “Fox News anchor fires back at guest for calling her far right’ Harris Faulkner clearly took issue with being labelled far right, firing back that she is actually a journalist.” According to my critics/opponents, one cannot be both conservative and a journalist, and therefore, because I am conservative, I am not a journalist. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest since 2000 that I am not a journalist. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and/or Wheaton. I would focus on those who are/were a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct and their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ms. Tims responded by saying that “you guys on the far right” are instead hoping for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the Republican nominee. “I know you guys on the far right really want Ron DeSantis to be the nominee but I don’t think he has the charisma or personality to beat out the entertainer-in-chief,” she said. Ms. Faulkner clearly took issue with being labelled “far right”, firing back that she is actually “a journalist”. “I don’t know who you are talking to in terms of ‘you guys,’ I know that that wasn’t meant for me,” she said, speaking over Ms. Tims. “I’m a journalist!” Ms. Tims appeared to ignore the anchor’s response, prompting Ms. Faulkner to reiterate what she said during a lull in the discussion. “So, and hopefully, yeah, OK, I’m sure you heard what I said,” she said.)

INTERCEPT
— Head of U.S. Africa Command’s Public Affairs Branch says to a journalist “We don’t consider you a legitimate journalist.” I should write a book about those who had demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being illegitimate, that is, as not being a legitimate journalist. Better yet, I should sue them. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me since 2000. I would focus on those who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and/or Wheaton.
