In this segment of the program, we struggle to figure out which is worse: terrorists or tyrants - or maybe tyrants who favor terrorism. Or if America or Russia is worse when it comes to parental rights. We tell the story of a Russian-American couple who lose their newborn to the American government nannies until the Russian embassy steps in. When God's law is chucked out the window, all bets are off.

More headlines are portending bad news for college grads. Here are a few examples: "Recent U.S. college graduates disillusioned, more than 40% unemployed."

What may be the most horrific story of the decade, Kermit Gosnell's Abortion Clinic and reported activities made headlines in England (despite the fact that Gosnell hails from Philadelphia). The American media is shying away from the Gosnell story, perhaps because the associations of Gosnell, President Obama, and Planned Parenthood are too close for comfort.
