Jensen: Don’t be so quick to laugh at Trump’s wiretap claims
—
by
Trump said, “wiretap.” The national media laughed, headlines blazed, “without evidence,” and CNN flatly denied it could have happened. Then, some former intelligence agents explained to any journalist willing to listen that while “wiretap” is the wrong word, it did happen. They know this through friendships and contacts they have maintained in the various intelligence…

Jensen: Investigate the leaks, not Flynn
—
by
Yes, there needs to be an investigation, but not necessarily of General Mike Flynn. Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware and Chuckie Schumer of New York demand to know when President Trump knew what he knew and when did he know whatever he knew about General Mike Flynn’s conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Democratic…

Jensen: In defense of Ben Carson’s appointment to HUD
—
by
How do we know Dr. Ben Carson is unqualified to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development? Because House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said so, calling him “disturbingly unqualified.” “There is no evidence that Dr. Carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibilities and impact on families and communities across…

Jensen: Obama’s thoughts on Clinton are revealing
—
by
“She is a fundamentally good and decent person.” You really need no further explanation as to why this is a laugh line. Just know it was someone talking about Hillary Clinton. That “someone” is President Obama, furiously trying to save Hillary’s sliding campaign amid the FBI re-opening her criminal investigation. One of the millions of…

Jensen: The not-so-conservative Chris Christie
—
by
To say New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is skipping … um … trudging … out of office, loading up Jersey drivers with a 250 percent increase in the gas tax, is certainly accurate. To say he’s waddling out of office, giving tax breaks to veterans, the poor, the middle class and the wealthy would also…

Jensen: When voting, ask yourself, ‘What’s next?’
—
by
What’s the next “big idea?” Bemoaning the lack of manufacturing jobs is really griping about the lack of innovation. Consider railroads, silicon computer chips, textiles, electronics, food processing and the myriad of small and large businesses in the chemical and telecommunications industries. What’s new in these industries? Cellphone manufacturers diddle with phone size and…

Jensen: Awaiting the next media freakout over Trump
—
by
The Great American Trump Freakout is just getting started, in which anything Trump says that can be misinterpreted as evil will be. Liberals are readily convinced Trump saying 2nd Amendment supporters could do something about Hillary appointing Supreme Court judges who oppose the Second Amendment was talking about assassination. Of course, he said no such…

Jensen: Hillary’s bloodless coup
—
by
Hillary and Debbie Wasserman Schultz did not simply conspire to cheat Bernie Sanders supporters out of an election. It was a coup. A bloodless political coup. For quite a few months, political observers have wondered why the Democratic National Committee, run by Hillary co-conspirator Wasserman Schultz, hasn’t engaged in voter registration drives around the country…

Jensen: What do voters really want?
—
by
Elections matter.But what do people really want? As the host of a radio show, I get to talk to people for a living. I talk with policy wonks, politicians and, most important, real people with real concerns and real needs. The Verizon worker leaning a 25-foot ladder up against a tree in 20 mph winds…
