YOUR WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT: Somehow I missed it but the three-part series on the Bill Walton Show entitled “Inside the Wire” is absolutely required YouTube watching for every person who worries about the future of America. Wade Miller, the retired Marine combat veteran who is now Executive Director of the Center for Renewing America, has for years studied the Islamic invasion and related actions originating from China.
