Because of the terrible news from Paris, it seems the world is finally waking up to the dangers of the refugee migration around the world. Our readership jumped by a lot for a narrowly focused blog (over 30,000 on Saturday and 20,000 today) and with that jump in interest came more questions, more e-mails, more phone calls, more press inquiries and so forth.

I very much appreciate all of your requests for me to speak to your groups, but I am not taking any more speaking trips for the foreseeable future mostly because I believe my strength is in researching and reporting the news while traveling gobbles up enormous amounts of my time.
Go here to a previous weekly round-up for more tips on getting the most out of your visits to RRW. We have over 7,000 posts archived here so you might need some guidance in finding useful information.
