Month: September 2015

RRW Weekly roundup for the week ending September 26, 2015

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I’m very pleased to report that as we wrap up September 2015, we have more than doubled (almost tripled) our daily readership and thus you are making September our top month since we began writing RRW in July 2007.
The issue of refugee resettlement and its impact on American communities is now being widely examined and questioned by American citizens who had no clue this has been going on for 35 years! And, thus more and more people are hungry for information.
For our thousands of new readers, our weekly roundup is an opportunity to tell all of you which posts were the most read, and from which countries most of our readers hailed from.  It is also a place where we tell you how to make the most out of your visits here. Since we are only 15 posts shy of hitting the 7,000 posts mark, there is a lot cataloged on these pages and we want you to be able to find it.
As a matter of fact, because there are so many new readers, I might repost some stories from past years, ones I consider very significant.

Top Three Posts of last week are these.

(See our right hand sidebar for what is trending right now—top daily posts.)

1)Trump: NO Syrian refugees, take care of Americans first!

2)Grassroots campaign under way to prevent Obama’s plan for Syrian refugee resettlement to go forward in CR

3)Breaking: Ben Carson says a Muslim should not be President of the US; CAIR comes out with both barrels

By the way, we have a facebook page with almost 8,000 likes.  This post on Ben Carson reached 22,000 people.  A lot of you remind me that so far Carson hasn’t been good on immigration, however, his knowledgeable and resolute stance on Sharia law tells me he might be moved on immigration issues once he understands them better. I’m guessing that Carson is not ruled by emotion, but by his intellect.  And, it is pretty clear where mass migration of third worlders into advanced countries will take us.

Top Ten Countries from which readers arrived at RRW during the past week (excluding the US):

Canada

UK

Australia

Germany

Netherlands

Finland

Sweden

France

New Zealand

South Africa

For New Readers:  Go here to a recent weekly roundup and learn about how to get the most out of your visits to RRW. Reminder that we are on facebook and twitter.
Let me be clear to new readers, it is just me here; RRW is not an organization with staff (with LOL! interns), with salaries, offices and such.  Our mission is to try to get you the important news every day on a subject that I believe is the most important one the US has faced since its founding.  What we decide now about immigration, about numbers and from where the immigrants will come, will determine whether America and Western Civilization itself lives or dies—I believe it is that important! Europe is just a little ahead of us in committing suicide, so we watch it carefully.
I apologize again and again that I can’t read all of your e-mails, I am trying harder, but it is just that there aren’t enough hours in the day!
One more thing:  My introductory youtube video is now at 1.6 million views.  Watch it here.

Connecticut elected officials welcome Syrian (Muslim) refugees

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

I was on the Lori on Liberty show from Connecticut yesterday, but hadn’t seen the news that Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) is out stumping for more Syrians (mostly Muslims) to be resettled in Connecticut.  Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat from the 5th District, is on board too.  The governor, according to the Washington Times is warming to the idea.

chris-murphy-ap
Murphy to Obama: 10,000 Syrians for next year is not enough! BTW, next year begins on Thursday.

Get ready Connecticut (where Yale has accepted a Saudi billionaire’s gift to build an ISLAMIC LAW CENTER there).
From the Washington Times:

With heart-rending images of desperate migrants flooding into Europe, some have called on the U.S. to do more. President Obama recently issued an order allowing up to 10,000 refugees from Syria into the United States during the next fiscal year, but even that is not enough, said Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.

[….]

In addition to the humanitarian obligations, he said there are practical reasons for helping the refugees. “We’re losing credibility (in the Middle East) if we sit on the sidelines,” said Murphy, a Democratic freshman who recently visited refugee camps in Jordan.

We knew 2016 Presidential candidate Marco Rubio was using weasel-words on the Syrians, but here the Washington Times reports that he is on board to increase refugee numbers to America.

Several Republican presidential candidates, including Sens. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida, are also pressing for an increase in the number of refugees allowed into the U.S., as long as they are thoroughly vetted to determine that they are not part of a terrorist group.

The FBI testified in February that the Syrian refugees could NOT BE THOROUGHLY VETTED—where have those Senator been?
The Washington Times continues….

Murphy agreed, saying the U.S. should “spare no expense” in investigating the refugees to ensure they have no terrorist connections. But, he added, “just because a place like Syria is violent, that doesn’t mean everyone who lives there is violent. We have a very sophisticated process for vetting refugees.”  [No we don’t—ed]

[….]

Rep. Elizabeth Esty, a Democrat from the 5th District, last week signed onto a letter to President Obama urging additional aid for the refugees. She said she would welcome refugees that have been thoroughly vetted resettle in her district and her community. [Danbury, Litchfield, Waterbury etc.—ed]

Continue reading here.
Waterbury reminds me of ‘Whoop-de-do’ in Waterbury several years ago when the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants‘ subcontractor was exposed in a local paper for neglecting mostly Burmese refugees in their care.  The US State Dept. at least temporarily shuttered the program there.  It may be up and running now for all I know.
I just noticed in that 2008 ‘Whoop-de-do’ post that refugees were receiving $850 per head upon arrival and the contractor was keeping half.  Here we are 7 years later and the amount per refugee now stands at $1975 per refugee!
For more information, go here to see if your city has already gotten Syrian refugees.  If so, you have been targeted for more.
Go here and see that Hartford’s mayor is one of 18 to write to Obama telling him to admit not 10,000 Syrians this year, but 100,000!

Carson favorability numbers jump dramatically after Muslim President comments last Sunday

Update:  I just finished watching Chuck Todd on Meet the Press (the show where Carson made what you know Todd was expecting to become Carson’s fatal blow) and Todd never mentioned Carson at all today.  You know that if Todd had succeeded in killing Carson’s Presidential aspirations, it would have been one big brag fest at Meet the Depressed (as Rush calls it) today. Todd mentioned Rubio’s slight rise in the polls and Fioriana’s but not one word about Carson’s this week (as Carson moves into a virtual tie with Trump)!
Fox News has done everything it could, over the last week, to make sure commentators throughout the network ‘school’ Ben Carson on what he can and cannot say on Muslims in public office and sharia law.  Hah! Looks like Carson gets the last word!

ben-carson think big
Reports: Carson hauls in a whopping $20 million in recent quarter! (from small donors!) http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/26/politics/ben-carson-20-million-fundraising/

See our report last week, here.  And, don’t miss Andy McCarthy’s takedown of the increasingly pompous Dr. Krauthammer, here.
I’m about done with Fox News, but at least here they are reporting what they found (hopefully with egg on Mr. Murdoch’s face)!
From Fox News:

Hillary Clinton’s personal favorable ratings hit a low mark in the latest Fox News national poll, while Ben Carson’s ratings climb to new high in the wake of his news-generating comments on Muslims and the presidency.

Carson receives the best net favorable scores among all voters as well as self-identified Republicans. In addition, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush get the worst net scores overall, and Bush has the lowest score among Republicans.

[….]

The number of voters who have a positive opinion of Carson is up 20 percentage points: 46 percent now, up from 26 percent in May. Among Republicans the increase is even greater: 66 percent now view him favorably, up from 42 percent.

Interviewing for the poll started Sunday afternoon and went through Tuesday evening (September 20-22). That Sunday morning, Carson made news with remarks about Sharia law and why he would not support a hypothetical Muslim in the White House.

For more on the candidates we have a category called ‘2016 Presidential campaign’ where we archive everything we write that relates to immigration/refugees and the candidates.

Iraqi headed to Germany: "Inshallah, we hope to be rich there."

Invasion of Europe news…..

migrants registering in Berlin
Migrants registering in Berlin. What happens when they don’t get rich? Photo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3249667/Germany-state-SIEGE-Merkel-cheered-opened-floodgates-migrants-gangs-men-roaming-streets-young-German-women-told-cover-mood-s-changing.html

 
That little line is a quote at the end of an AP story that appeared in the print edition of my hometown newspaper yesterday.  The headline is ‘Croatia lifts blockade with Serbia.’  I found the link for the story, here.  The man who uttered that line will surely be disappointed.  Then what?

“I just want to go only to Germany,” said Adnan Habbabi, a 36-year-old from Basra, Iraq….”Inshallah [Allah willing–ed], we hope,” he said. “We hope to be rich there.”

The line of course is a warning that Germany hasn’t seen the real problem yet!  What happens when tens of thousands of young men aren’t granted asylum let alone get rich there?

See the Daily Mail story from Friday:  ‘Germany in a state of SIEGE!’  German women told to cover-up as migrant men roam the streets.

If you haven’t read Mark Steyn’s 2008 ‘America Alone,’ you must.  He spells it out in very clear terms. Western civilization is doomed unless people of European descent get busy and start producing large families, now!  (I wish I were young enough to help!) But, sadly, in America, and probably Europe as well, many of the well-educated (intelligent?) young people of forty years ago bought the notion that we would be greedy and hurt the planet if we produced more than two children (our replacements!)—less then two and you were a hero!
While the third world never got that message, as you will see by scrolling through this list of World Fertility Rates for 2015 (thanks to Kurt for bringing this to our attention).

It is no surprise that African nations dominate the list of the most fertile!  Here are a few selections:

America Alone

Niger: 7.27 children per family

Somalia: 5.99

Ethiopia: 5.81

Rep. of Congo: 5.31

Those three (Somalia, Ethiopia, and Rep. of Congo) are all now supplying the US with large numbers of ‘refugees.’
From the Middle East/Asia:

Afghanistan: 5.33

Iraq: 3.32

Pakistan:  2.75

Syria:  2.6

Then the US is still holding its own (I expect they are counting our Mexican immigrant fertility rate as well):

US: 2.06

And, here we see why Europe is dying (I wonder if they take into account the African and Middle Eastern immigrant births that would explain France and the UK still sort of up there).  Imagine if they only factored in the white European fertility rate!

Ireland: 1.99 (get it up just a bit higher!)

France: 1.94

UK: 1.89

Netherlands: 1.78

Norway: 1.76

Denmark: 1.73

Sweden: 1.67

Spain: 1.49

Switzerland: 1.49

Russia: 1.45

Germany: 1.44 (in deep trouble!)

Austria: 1.43

Italy: 1.43

Poland: 1.34

Check out the whole list here—fascinating!
For the year 2049 they estimate much more reasonable fertility rates, but I don’t see how they get there (perhaps just fabricated to make us all feel better).
Remember this guy?   He says they are coming not as workers to Germany, but as conquerors to breed with the European women as “Germany is old and decrepit!”
