More Terrorism Madness
A new CBS News poll shows a stunning turnaround on how Americans see the fight against ISIS. Back in October, just 47% favored using American ground troops to fight ISIS. That number has now jumped to 57% with 37% opposed. The American people seem to be getting the message that evil terrorists are slaughtering thousands of human beings all over the world and the most powerful nation on earth should lead the way in stopping that. Is a major change on the way? We'll analyze the situation.

Factor Words of the Day
Debra Harrington, Salem, MA: "Bill, I am sorry but I can't back your advocacy of a Holy War. These wars don't end well for Christians. Muslims are willing to die for their religion, are you willing to do that?"

Rick Morrow, Phoenix, AZ: "Bill, you should be embarrassed that you don't know Obama is a Muslim."

Everett Sanborn, Prescott, AZ: "Bill, congratulations on finally being the one to make a movie on Jesus where the actor actually looks Semitic."
When Opportunity Knocks
Last week NBC defeated the other two networks in the evening news ratings, good news for Brian Williams' interim replacement Lester Holt. He is the latest example of an old adage - when opportunity comes along, grab it and hold on.
