MEDIA BIAS: July 20, 2017 Americans’ interests and broadcast news coverage are at odds. Additionally, the tendency of the news media to focus on conflict rather than progress helps create an adverse environment for lawmakers. Perhaps we need a change of focus. Bloomberg released a poll this past Monday that included the most important issues facing the country right now (1,001 American...

IMMIGRATION: July 13, 2017 It’s common to hear political debates and read headlines regarding immigration, policy and how welcoming (or unwelcoming) the United States is to those who want to move here.

Jackie Gingrich Cushman 06/15/2017 - 10:09pm
SPECIAL COUNSEL: June 15, 2017 While the news media and pundits are covering the investigation and potential link between the Russian government and Trump’s campaign, their ongoing fascination with who said what, how and to whom can obscure understanding of the larger issues. This might confuse many who don’t have the time to follow...
Let’s shine a new light on small businesses
Jackie Gingrich Cushman 06/09/2017 - 10:54pm
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: June 8, 2017 Here is a proposal for a new reality show that could not only help President Trump do his job, but could help millions of other Americans gain or keep theirs. I’ll tell you how in a minute. But first, some background: For a small-business entrepreneur to be successful, he or she must not only come up with...
