"Reports out of Washington say that the Justice Department will not file civil rights charges in the Ferguson case, where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot to death by police officer Darren Wilson, which led to rioting across the county. A grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson and now Attorney General Holder is doing the same thing. So what are we to think? Is Holder a racist? All of those people who committed crimes in the name of Michael Brown or judged Officer Wilson without the facts should be ashamed. But of course most of them are not. We are living in a nation that is essentially unfair, not because of income inequality or bias against skin color, but because we the people often form judgments based on nothing. Talking Points said that you can't convict a fellow American of anything unless you know the facts. And now the facts have been established: no Justice Department civil rights action, no indictment by a grand jury. The charlatan Al Sharpton led the effort to cripple the justice system and impose a vigilante verdict in the case, another terrible entry on Sharpton's resume. Now let's turn to corruption. 70-year-old Sheldon Silver, the powerful Speaker of the New York State Assembly, is under arrest for corruption. Silver is a vile human being who single-handedly blocked Jessica's Law in New York and imposed a culture of corruption in the State Assembly. Attorney General Eric Holder is to be commended for allowing the U.S. Attorney to pursue Silver. Talking Points predicts he will be convicted because this man has done more to harm New York State than any other human being alive. Hey Shelly, it's karma. Get it."

Legal analysts Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle put forth their learned opinions on the news that the Justice Department will not pursue criminal charges against Darren Wilson. "There was no evidence," Wiehl stated. "Eyewitnesses were all over the place, but three forensic accounts were all consistent with the officer shooting in self-defense." Guilfoyle added that the DOJ tried mightily to find proof that would justify an indictment. "They had access to all of the state's investigation and witness files, and they also ran their own concurrent investigation. But they came to the same conclusion that the grand jury did." The Factor facetiously suggested that the protesters now make amends: "Maybe the looters can bring the stuff back that they stole. They dishonored Michael Brown and his family."

Guests:Rev. Jacques Degraff & Richard Fowler
For another view, The Factor welcomed attorney Jacques Degraff and radio talk show host Richard Fowler. "The prosecutor in Ferguson failed to do his job," Degraff declared. "I accept the decision of the federal government, but I am a black American who has experienced the disparities. There is injustice, and not just in Ferguson." Fowler agreed with Degraff's conclusion that an injustice was perpetrated in Missouri. "The federal investigation was about whether or not Darren Wilson violated Michael Brown's civil rights. The government is indicating that Brown's civil rights weren't violated, but does that mean Darren Wilson didn't profile Michael Brown? Of course it doesn't. People are protesting because innocent and unarmed black men have been killed by police."

Guests:Ed Henry
The Obama administration is no longer referring to the Islamic State as ISIL or ISIS, but is instead using the word "Daesh." FNC White House correspondent Ed Henry elaborated on the word game. "Daesh is the original Arabic version," he reported, "and it is considered an insult to the Islamic State terrorists. So Secretary of State Kerry thinks words will hurt them. The language game that has been going on - ISIL, ISIS, and Daesh - is similar to the game we've seen about whether or not to call it 'Islamic extremism.' The bigger deal is that ISIS hasn't been pushed back, and Al Qaeda, which was 'on the run,' wasn't even mentioned in the State of the Union. Look what's happening in Yemen. The president called it a success, but now Yemen has gone to pieces."

Guests:Morgan Wright
President Obama has vowed to combat Internet hackers and identity theft, but what can actually be done? The Factor explored the issue with cyber security expert Morgan Wright. "One of the best things Congress can do," he said, "is to use the awesome power of our military and Homeland Security, which have great research and development capability. The Defense Department built the Internet, so now unleash that power to secure the Internet. The government can do things that the private sector can't do to prevent these things from happening."

Guests:Andrea Tantaros & Jennice Fuentes
Liberal Jennice Fuentes and conservative Andrea Tantaros looked ahead to 2016 and the race for the presidency. "Hillary Clinton is doing well in polls against Republicans," Tantaros pointed out, "and when you look at her potential threats from the left - Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden - she crushes them. She's stomping everybody, which is amazing after her disastrous book tour. But she's formidable only until she opens her mouth again - silence is the best thing going for her." Fuentes portrayed Hillary Clinton as nearly unbeatable. "She is the former First Lady, former Senator, former Secretary of State. Everyone was thinking that she could be defeated, that she is too old, but she is a colossal candidate." But The Factor chided Hillary Clinton for avoiding comment on the Keystone Pipeline and other contentious issues. "A true leader doesn't weasel around. When you're asked a simple question, give your opinion."

Guests:Kirk Minihane & Jim Gray
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady have pleaded ignorance about the improperly-inflated footballs that were used in their victory last Sunday. Sports reporters Jim Gray and Kirk Minihane entered the No Spin Zone to tackle the controversy. "Someone made a deliberate decision to alter the game and deflate these balls," Gray pronounced. "But I believe Bill Belichick when he says he had no knowledge of this, and I believe what Tom Brady had to say. I don't believe he asked anybody to doctor those balls." But Minihane implied that Brady is a quarterback sneak. "I believe this was a Brady operation. Am I supposed to believe that a rogue equipment manager or ballboy was monkeying around with equipment before a championship game? That's simply not believable! Brady runs the ship."

Keith Allen, East Lynn, IL: "Bill, as a business owner, I can guarantee you that paying seven sick days is a guarantee my employees will get sick. It does not work."

Robert Nelson, Pueblo, CO: "Bill, I am curious why you rant against inappropriate subject matter from rappers, but encourage the vulgar conduct of Dennis Miller."

Bill Infield, Sioux Falls, SD: "Bill, you may be trusted by the folks, but you are a commentator, not a newsperson."

Bob McDarby, Valrico, FL: "The second most trusted newsperson, O'Reilly? Did everybody else tie for first?"

Hillary Clinton, generally considered a very staid and stolid person, has been trying to display some humor of late. And, yes, sometimes it's a very good idea to counter your image.
