Sharyl Attkisson is another conservative journalist. Her show is Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson and can be seen on YouTube if it is not in your local TV market.

Kimberley Strassel on draining the swamp:

"This is not something that's going to be a small or inconsequential endeavor. It's going to take a long time."


The same is true at USHPA and in the San Diego city government. Thanks to all who are helping everywhere.

Ken Buck about Congress wrote:The game here is not to take a tough vote. There's a quiet conspiracy going on that "If you don't make me take a tough vote then I won't make you take a tough vote."

That's exactly the problem at USHPA. That's why my open voting "Accountability Amendment" was poison to them.

When I was first elected as Regional Director, Joe Greblo gave me the advice that I shouldn't make waves and essentially go along to get along. I took Ken Buck's position instead:

Ken Buck wrote:I didn't come here to make friends.


It's the road less traveled ... for sure.
