David Frum writes in The Atlantic:
Donald Trump’s noisy complaints that immigration is out of control are literally true. Nobody is making conscious decisions about who is wanted and who is not, about how much immigration to accept and what kind to prioritize—not even for the portion of U.S. migration conducted according to law, much less for the larger portion that is not.
Nor is there much understanding of what has happened after it has happened. …
Americans talk a lot about the social difficulties caused by large-scale, low-skill immigration, but usually in a very elliptical way. Giant foundations—Pew, Ford—spend lavishly to study the problems of the new low-skill immigrant communities. Public policy desperately seeks to respond to the challenges presented by large-scale low-skill immigration. But the fundamental question—“should we be doing this at all?”—goes unvoiced by anyone in a position of responsibility. Even as the evidence accumulates that the policy was a terrible mistake from the point of view of the pre-existing American population, elites insist that the policy is unquestionable … more than unquestionable, that the only possible revision of the policy is to accelerate future flows of low-skill immigration even faster, whether as migrants or as refugees or in some other way.
Even as immigration becomes ever-more controversial with the larger American public, within the policy elite it preserves an unquestioned status as something utterly beyond discussion. To suggest anything otherwise is to suggest—not merely something offensive or objectionable—but something self-evidently impossible, like adopting cowrie shells as currency or Donald Trump running for president.
Only Donald Trump is running for president—and doing pretty well, too. … And while it’s clear that the immigration issue does not constitute all of Trump’s appeal, it’s equally clear that the issue has been indispensable to that appeal.
Until this very year, Trump’s few sparse comments on immigration fell neatly within the elite consensus….
What seems to have changed Trump’s mind is a book: Adios America by Ann Coulter. The phrase “political book of the year” is a usually an empty compliment, but if the phrase ever described any book, Adios America is it. In its pages, Trump found the message that would convulse the Republican primary and upend the dynastic hopes of former-frontrunner Jeb Bush. Perhaps no single writer has had such immediate impact on a presidential election since Harriet Beecher Stowe.
That reminds me to get back to my fundraising drive, the third of 2015.
Here I am last August in the dining room of the downtown San Diego Embassy Suites with the dining-related sculpture I call The Chicken or the Egg. (If I had a picture of Ramzan Kadyrov dining at the Embassy Suites, it would be The Chechen or the Egg.)
As you may recall, last August during the previous fundraiser, I was whining about not having been able to afford to take my long-suffering wife on vacations. You responded so generously that we immediately took off for San Diego for two days.
I also want to thank everybody who came up with more creative approaches for me regarding affording travel than my rather basic idea of you send me money now. I haven’t taken anybody up on them yet, but I definitely hope to, if events ever stop providing me with so much to blog about seven days a week.
Similarly, I want to express my appreciation for everybody who has come up with more creative ways for me to earn money than my just asking you to send money to me. I haven’t taken any of them up yet, but I intend to, just as soon as events stop providing me with so damned much to blog about 12 hours per day.
I want to thank everybody who contributed in the first days of the December 2015 iSteve fundraiser. Unlike certain personalities in the news, I am not invulnerable to discouragement. Fortunately, there’s nothing more morally encouraging than getting money.
I now have seven ways for you to send me encouragement, including Paypal, Bitcoin, and fee-free bank transfers.
First: You can use PayPal (non-tax deductible) by going to the page on my old blog here. PayPal accepts most credit cards. Contributions can be either one-time only, monthly, or annual. Fee 2.9%.
Third: You can make a tax deductible contribution to VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring “subscription” donations.) Make sure you click the button for “Steve Sailer.” If you send VDARE a check make sure to put “I like Steve Sailer” on the Memo line. Note: the VDARE site goes up and down on its own schedule, so if this link stops working, please let me know.
Fourth: You can use Bitcoin:
I’m using Coinbase as a sort of PayPal for Bitcoins.
The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.
Payments are not tax deductible.
Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.
Pay With Bitcoin (denominated in U.S. Dollars)
This second is if you want to enter a Bitcoin-denominated amount. (Remember one Bitcoin is currently worth many U.S. dollars.)
Pay With Bitcoin (denominated in Bitcoins)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.
Sixth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.
Seventh: Google Wallet, which I’ll put below the fold because the instructions are kind of verbose. It’s actually pretty simple, though.
Seventh: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that’s isteveslrATgmail .com — replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don’t need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone
app (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service.Here’s how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Thanks!
An animated iSteve Action Figure® might help.
Don’t laugh. Bill Hillsman used this in Jesse Ventura’s successful campaign. He filmed an ad with two kids playing with the Jesse doll, which freed Ventura himself to campaign elsewhere that day.

Sure. He’d have to go light on the points of articulation or it could get expensive, but he could come with a megaphone he stole from the MSM (any other inside jokes welcome–maybe a book on the Donme?)
‘Only Donald Trump is running for president’ should be ‘Only Donald Trump is running for president’
Sailer → Coulter → Trump → World.
Back in the e-mail-only days, now and then Steve would post something similar to something I sent a month or two or three earlier, and I'd think, "Did he get that from me, or from fifty other readers, or is it just the natural evolution of logic?", limited as it is to remnants like iSteve.
Mainstream politicians have left this issue wide open, probably because opposing immigration is popular with voters but unpopular with big donors and the media.
I have little use for Trump, but the mainstream politicians and talking heads who are so outraged at what he says and does have nobody but themselves to blame–if they had honestly addressed immigration, Trump would have had no way to get the attention and support of so many voters.
Steve, maybe you could sell out for like 6 months, start blogging about social justice shit and get some of those T.N. Coates genius grants dude. You could have, like, a safe word you insert in all of the articles so we know it’s still really you. Then after 6 months, BAM, back to normal.
Steve, it’s been a few years since I’ve donated, so I’ll definitely be sending you a check sometime this month. Your posts are definitely worth the price of a few magazine subscriptions.
The Atlantic may have something positive to say about Donald Trump, but the nytimes.com is doubling, no tripling down, on the anti-trump rhetoric. The first seven items in the “Recommended for You” section this morning are full of anti-Trump rhetoric.
They’re only getting started in their campaign to get rid of The Donald.
So, would I be right to analogize that Sailer:Coulter::Coulter:Trump?
Kinda hoping for some actual content Steve, not just begging for more money.
And no Steve, I’m not going to give you any. You already have a 600 plus word banner that explains to us the many ways we can give to you. I don’t need a, “Oh hey that reminds me. Give me money!”
You’re not getting my money. Not with the e-begging, not with the bait-and-switch columns like this one.
Coulter sells her books. Why don’t you sell you column? Make it cheap. Say a dollar a day. But no access unless paid. That way you won’t have to beg, and you can test your columns in the marketplace of ideas. It might be tougher, but it’s more honest.
So what do you say, Steve? Hard work or hand out?
Would that be possible to deny access to the IP address(es) associeted with the moniker "Pseudonymic"? Until he starts paying to Steve.
You can steal it for free like any St. Swisher--no horrible St.LPD to stop you.
Now go back to mommy porn on your Kindle, there's a nice fellow.
I think there are quite a few readers in similar situations.
I could argue YOU owe me money, what with all the time spent on this site. No hesitation contributing to you and Derb, money very well spent.
Why Frum comments in The Atlantic? I tought it was supposed to be a Liberal magazine and he is a Zionist Neocon.
I only wish more people would be like him and Mickey Kaus at kausfiles.com and question the usual nonsense about immigration.
David Frum, Dubya Bush ex-speech writer, who coined the term, “Axis of Evil” for Israel’s enemies like Iran, N. Korea, Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas in 2002 has his axe to grind against his fellow “Israel First” Ann Coulter for calling Frum’s tribe “F***ing Jews” a few months ago.
All these three “White Americans” hate Muslims and Islam while salute flag of a foreign entity.
On September 16 Coulter Tweeted: “How many f…ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?”
One minute later, she followed with: “Maybe it’s to suck-up to Evangelicals.”
Morton A. Klein, president Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) demanded that Fox News fire Ann Coulter.
“Ann Coulter made appalling, anti-Jewish remarks which evoked the classic, antisemitic trope about Jewish manipulation of America for the purpose of supporting Israel at America’s expense,” said Klein.

shit out of luck
The problem.
If the premise is ‘America is a nation of immigrants’, then America is no longer America unless it keeps taking in more immigrants. And it means immigrants are ‘more American’ than those with deep roots here. So, native-born Americans must reverse-assimilate to the world filled with potential immigrants.
It’s like if man is defined as a consumer, he must keep buying(even stuff he doesn’t need or can’t afford) to be a man.US, as currently defined, must keep consuming immigrants.
The elites prefer immigrants cuz the immigrants have no roots, claim, and memory in America that boost goy nationalism. Instead, the immigrants are merely grateful to the sector of America
(the globo-elites) that facilitated their easy entry.
Also, the immigrants’ children, being raised on PC, are useful as agents who spread America-style ‘culture and values’ back to their home countries. A kind of neo-imperialism.
Look at Mexico. Its ‘values’ are becoming more globo-Americanized with stuff like ‘gay marriage’ in urban areas.
In a way, the ‘anti-American’ and pro-minority aspects of PC fool the children of immigrants into believing that the New American culture and ‘values’ are on their side and empowers them against ‘racist’ whites. After all, ‘leftist’ Obama is president, a development that suddenly made so many nations pro-American even though Obama is merely a servant of Jewish-homo oligarchs who seek to weaken the national sovereignty of every nation but Israel.
In truth, PC is really designed to aid globo-minoritarian-elitism in every nation but Israel.
What does American-style PC do in Russia, Iran, Mexico, Vietnam, etc?
It promotes homos allied with the globo-US empire.
Posted this under the relevant post, but not sure if Steve is still reading those comments, and this showed up in today’s news:
“Why can’t we use the DHS bureaucracy to follow this sensible proposal and use good judgement?”
http://abcnews.go.com/US/secret-us-policy-blocks-agents-social-media-visa/story?id=35749325
This is why. It is nearly impossible to fire anyone, many government bureaucrats are ideologically committed to Not Noticing.
The only policies with a realistic chance of achieving goals are ones that are highly visible to the public, like banning all immigration from Country X, Y and Z.
Trans-agism taking off.
http://nypost.com/2015/12/13/hottest-trend-in-publishing-is-adult-coloring-books/?utm
How about HBD coloring book?
Yes, big playground-sized swings with seats big enough for adult asses. God that would be fun.

Homeland Security and in fact most government agencies shouldn’t be following “secret” policies (so what happens to the bureaucrat who violates a “secret” policy he or she doesn’t know about). But the article seems to refer to an instance where senior bureaucrats started doing something (scan the social media of visa applicants) in the process of doing their jobs, and was told by someone, probably from the Deep State, to knock it off with no reason given.
Read the article. Decision wasn't made by "someone, presumably from the Deep State", it was made by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson--Peak State, not Deep State. And "with no reason given"--also false. "The primary concern was that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly and there were concerns that it would be embarrassing," Cohen said. They didn't want to get caught looking funny at Muslims, and/or didn't want to get caught looking at anyone's Facebook pages at all.
That sort of surveillance is only for ex-spouses and prospective dates.
I sent $10. As a broke college student it’s all I can afford but I wanted to show my apprecation anyway!

The major reason America is going Adios is Americans aren’t having many children. Ann Coulter is a prime example.
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids! Stop worrying about divorce, your finances, and everything else that is used as an excuse to depopulate the traditional American family. Throw away the Pill and stop getting vasectomies. What is worse, getting divorced or dying alone without progeny? What is worse, living frugally, or having no grandchildren?
There is no American future without American children. If our genetic material is really so precious, as so many HBDers assert, than do something to spread it, like I did, like Trump, like Romney, and like others. Have 5 kids. Trust me, it’s easy and fun.
And how do you get stuff like a new Lexus, SUV or Toll Brothers home? You work your ass off and go into debt. You can't afford kids if you're doing this or on some insane career track.
Women really bought into it because it has been sold to them as "empowering" and "meaningful". Then they end up like Coulter at 40+ with no kids and no marriage.
Go back to the 50's and 60's and look at the houses of working and middle-class white families, they were small by today's standards, maybe 1100-1300 sq ft with 2 baths if you're lucky. It worked out well. Today your average white would turn their nose up at one of these older homes and demand some 3000 sq ft. "ranch style" that eats them alive in terms of mortgage and property taxes. Then there's the professional landscaping, interior work, etc.
Oh yeah then there's that new trend where hubby and wifey have separate bedrooms because they can't even tolerate each other? Wow.
Look at cars. Most people aren't content with just a beater that gets to them to work. They want a late model or new Toyota, Nissan or Ford that costs upwards of $25-30k.
All the money that would have been put into the family gets put into the vanity trips of the husband and wifey.
Whites bought the lie hook line and sinker and it's killing them off.
If you want more White kids, you have to have Game. Only Game can make Joe Average White guy sexy enough for most White women to want to have kids. With said Joe Average. America and the West has a HUUUUUGGGGEEEEE (Donald Trump voice) deficit in male sexiness. This is why Heartiste and company do the Lord's work.
Of course, the most depressing thing about Game is that it works. All too well. Manufactured charisma and jerkboy dominance and aggression, particularly for introverts and those who are shy, opens up men's eyes on the true nature of women. Making it eas(ier) for men to be attractive to women but paradoxically reducing men's desire to commit to a woman for a lifetime. Since the attraction is merely like an athletic performance, requiring constant maintenance and upkeep otherwise a free agent will be signed to replace the performer.
All over industrialized countries, birth rates are falling dramatically, including places like Iran, Tunisia, and Algeria, not exactly liberal outposts. All those places are below replacement TFR. You can check on the CIA World Factbook. What urban industrialization does, is shatter the male illusions about women, while allowing women to pursue the few top alphas.
This is the price of power. And there is no going back. Moar White babies is not going to happen -- White women are not going to fall in love with beta males, since female love first requires lust and that is a word never found in a sentence with beta males and women's feelings. For the 90% of White men not natural Alphas, Alpha-dom can be achieved in some measure, but its a mechanical performance -- not conducive to a lifetime of marriage. That takes "oneitis" and only killing that can produce Alpha-dom.
Dont be that guy , the last guy left in this modern world that is too proud to take da gubments money !!!!!!! People on here cry all day that the immigrants and others get to live for free on our ( the working mans ) tax money , well start having kids and avail yourself of the money as well . Hey its fun to make kids . sex sex sex sex. Only problem you handsome stevie readers will have with the plan is that you will have to get your pasty asses off the internet for part of the day .
Its funny that all the " ALT " right people have like zero kids !!!!!! Way to be sooooooooo different and alternative from the mainstream sheeple !!!!!!! Maybe its all a ZIONIST plot anyway omgomgomgomgomgomg.
We'd have to really increase financial support going to parents -- both directly and indirectly -- so that they feel financially able to support that second and third child they're often afraid to have.
I am all for having this kind of discussion. We need to have it soon, while the bulk of the money would go to the families of Americans who have been here for 3+ generations, not recent immigrants.
But most men aren't enormously wealthy, so your examples of Trump and Romney and other enormously wealthy men are irrelevant.
The relevant factor here is women, and whether or not they're willing to have kids with men who aren't enormously wealthy, and how many kids they're willing to have with such men.
One mystery in this GOP election race has been the failure of all the state governors who have run.
My explanation is that state governors are not able to effectively grasp the immigration issue, which has turned out to be the decisive issue in the race.
John Derbyshire has long advocated a coherent “population policy.” He’s right, of course. But a country as factionalized and fractured as the United States is by race, class, religion, etc., is probably incapable of agreeing on anything so reasonable. My personal prediction is either tyranny and/or de facto if not de jure partition.
I.e., tyranny and partition.
The only people who don't seem to realize this are still inhabiting relative bubbles of racial, class, and religious tranquility. I.e., the last homogeneous pockets of the republic.
Steve is too humble to say so directly but he is ultimately the source of Trump’s ideas on immigration that have turned the presidential campaign upside down. Just as certainly as Donald Trump is articulating the ideas from Ann Coulter’s book, the ideas in her book come from Steve Sailer. Ann Coulter has always talked about how bad liberals are, etc. but in the past she said little about immigration beyond the old Republican platitudes about illegal immigrants are breaking the law and immigration is O.K. as long as the law is followed, etc. Everything about immigrants turning America into a third world hellhole, etc. are Steve’s ideas expressed in Coulter’s venomous style.
“I also want to thank everybody who came up with more creative approaches for me regarding affording travel than my rather basic idea of you send me money now. I haven’t taken anybody up on them yet, but I definitely hope to, if events ever stop providing me with so much to blog about seven days a week.

Steve, You need an assistant or consultant to help you implement these ideas.
Thanks for everything you do!
It’s secret to you and me and the Washington Post. It’s not secret to the civil service guys who have to follow the policy.
Read the article. Decision wasn’t made by “someone, presumably from the Deep State”, it was made by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson–Peak State, not Deep State.

They're only getting started in their campaign to get rid of The Donald.
The quickest way the NYT could turn me off Trump would be for them to endorse him.
As a few commenters pointed out in previous threads, Frum did the same thing that Charlotte Allen has done multiple times: package Steve’s ideas, without attribution, into a big piece for a major publication. It’s pretty easy to detect when you read this blog regularly.
And no Steve, I'm not going to give you any. You already have a 600 plus word banner that explains to us the many ways we can give to you. I don't need a, "Oh hey that reminds me. Give me money!"
You're not getting my money. Not with the e-begging, not with the bait-and-switch columns like this one.

Paging Ron Unz:
Would that be possible to deny access to the IP address(es) associeted with the moniker “Pseudonymic”? Until he starts paying to Steve.
I’ve been sending twety bucks a month for almost a couple of years now, but I’ll probably increase it in the near future.

The other problem is that whites have bought into the Madison Avenue materialistic/consumer notion that having stuff is the end all and be all.
And how do you get stuff like a new Lexus, SUV or Toll Brothers home? You work your ass off and go into debt. You can’t afford kids if you’re doing this or on some insane career track.

White flight from urban violence and "bad schools" is responsible.
Warren doesn't point out the cause but she lays out the process in this lecture with all the numbers.

This is true. I recently heard Coulter say to Mickey Kaus, “As our friend Steve Sailer says….”
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids! Stop worrying about divorce, your finances, and everything else that is used as an excuse to depopulate the traditional American family. Throw away the Pill and stop getting vasectomies.

It takes two to tango. And ignoring divorce risk is like asking people not to buckle up their seatbelts.

Unfortunately, I’m also a guilty party to this (one son).
It’s like Mark Steyn says, the future belongs to those who show up for it.
In Mexico, most of the mestizos only have that many. They come over here and have more because we encourage it, and when we stop tolerating it on our dime, they will stop.
And no Steve, I'm not going to give you any. You already have a 600 plus word banner that explains to us the many ways we can give to you. I don't need a, "Oh hey that reminds me. Give me money!"

So what do you say, Steve? Hard work or hand out?
I think he should charge for comments. Say $1 for each comment. If he likes your comment you get your dollar back.

For many men divorce also means dying alone and broke. Though I agree we should reproduce nonetheless.

What matters is the evaporation of disposable income as wages decline or remain static while living costs increase.
If you're making yachts for the rich it doesn't matter - your workforce was never part of your revenue stream anyway - but if you're making cars, fridges, cookers etc you need a large middle class with disposable income...
and in the longer term if there's no middle class with disposable income to buy stuff then eventually there will be fewer rich people to buy yachts.
That's the problem - what was in the short term interest of the oligarch class (then) is harmful to everyone else in the medium term (now) and in the long run will be harmful to the oligarch class as well.
Drum is correct about the sample size conclusion but the key component of Borjas argument on Miami is that wages in Miami didn't change much because people moved away. That means you are unlikely to find local wage effects of immigration, They have to get big enough to ripple the national market.
Borjas' big review of the literature still stands. There is not net benefit of immigration to most natives, and unskilled natives suffer wage loss and big drops in employment. This is confirmed by multiple studies from different authors and different approaches.
And its common sense, The supple demand approach is usually the right way to think about prices and quantities and the common sense thing is if you drastically expand the supply of low-skilled labor the price will fall. One does have to think about some bigger picture issues but that should bethe starting point- wages are likely going to fall. The literature says that maybe they don't fall by quite as much as we would think, but they still fall.
And as Borjas points out its crazy to think that a welfare state built to subsidize low income families isn't going to end up having nets costs from low income immigrants. Those are big.
One part of one Borjas study was wrong, the literature still stands.
He mentions Coulter, but not you. Hard to believe he is not a reader.
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids! Stop worrying about divorce, your finances, and everything else that is used as an excuse to depopulate the traditional American family. Throw away the Pill and stop getting vasectomies. What is worse, getting divorced or dying alone without progeny? What is worse, living frugally, or having no grandchildren?
There is no American future without American children. If our genetic material is really so precious, as so many HBDers assert, than do something to spread it, like I did, like Trump, like Romney, and like others. Have 5 kids. Trust me, it's easy and fun.
Ehhh, I have mixed feelings about that. Sure I would love to have more healthy white people in this country proportionally, but at the same time we are overcrowded in so many places. Would love to have this countrys population about half what it is now. Find me a genie in a lamp and maybe that’ll happen…
> Sailer → Coulter → Trump → World.
When I first saw that photo (above) I figured it was where Steve keeps his Mini-Me.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I clicked on it, hoping to be taken to a second view, inside the Silver Egg Chair. My mind raced–George Baker as Number Two? A small velociraptor?
Oh, right. Chickens ARE velociraptors…and the evolutionary innovation of the amniote egg is one of the greatest feats of life on this rock.
Alas. Just a hotel sculpture.
Both horses have been out of the barn a long time.
I.e., tyranny and partition.
The only people who don’t seem to realize this are still inhabiting relative bubbles of racial, class, and religious tranquility. I.e., the last homogeneous pockets of the republic.
And no Steve, I'm not going to give you any. You already have a 600 plus word banner that explains to us the many ways we can give to you. I don't need a, "Oh hey that reminds me. Give me money!"
You're not getting my money. Not with the e-begging, not with the bait-and-switch columns like this one.
Coulter sells her books. Why don't you sell you column? Make it cheap. Say a dollar a day. But no access unless paid. That way you won't have to beg, and you can test your columns in the marketplace of ideas. It might be tougher, but it's more honest.
So what do you say, Steve? Hard work or hand out?
This is his work, you dimwit.
You can steal it for free like any St. Swisher–no horrible St.LPD to stop you.
Now go back to mommy porn on your Kindle, there’s a nice fellow.
Wildly OT and possibly already covered, but in case not…
Steve Sailer, have you tried going to isteve.com lately? I just did and I get this:
http://servingnotice.com/Kxd6us/intermediary.html?ishoppingmall.cc
Frum’s article was brave, very well written, and a milestone being published in the Atlantic.
One correction to it though: Trump was saying very good things on immigration longer than Frum states.
No, in his 2011 book, which I quoted in a comment here a few months ago, Trump forcefully opposes birthright citizenship. That is about as far from elite consensus as it gets.
For the fundraiser, I’m sending something this year. Prior years I have been nearly guilted and then Steve posts something too Kevin McDonaldish.
I can’t plead personal poverty either, had a pretty good year this year, though I do have a large and poor extended family.
It’s been my secret fantasy for a few months now that Trump wins the election and awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Ann Coulter, Steve Sailer, and Peter Brimelow.
A preview of Islamized America.
In the first majority-Muslim U.S. city, residents tense about its future
“Majewski, whose family emigrated from Poland in the early 20th century, admitted to a few concerns of her own. Business owners within 500 feet of one of Hamtramck’s four mosques can’t obtain a liquor license, she complained, a notable development in a place that flouted Prohibition-era laws by openly operating bars. The restrictions could thwart efforts to create an entertainment hub downtown, said the pro-commerce mayor.
And while Majewski advocated to allow mosques to issue calls to prayer, she understands why some longtime residents are struggling to adjust to the sound that echos through the city’s streets five times each day.

Spot on. I have 3 kids and am on my way to 10 kids ( hopefully ) . I mean the financial side of it is no problem , we live in usa usa usa usa usa , where there is a safety net and they will pay all your expenses , the more kids you have the more handouts you will get

Good luck going to the welfare office as a white man.
If you really plan to have 7 more kids (godspeed!), get wifey some sort of government job and enjoy 3 to 6 months paid time off * 7 = ~$150,000 in free cash.Uh oh, that part I don't like. And when I'm not working or online, I like vigorous exercise and doing home improvements, not icky girl activities.
Fuck you.
People who have kids they cannot support should be spayed or neutered. End of story.
I have a son who is a doctor, a daughter in vet school and another who is a paramedic and a midwife. And two of them have kids they work to support too, so encouraging them to offer their services in that direction shouldn't fall on too deaf ears.

Andrew! Enough with the pragmatism and rationalism.
Psst. Governor Palin has a girl-crush on Marion Le Pen. Pass it on.
On another point, I do regret the use of the phrase "Judeo-Christian", while its better than "Abrahamic" which is taken to include Islam, the Judaism of the Post-Temple era and the Talmud, has almost always been at odds with Christianity until the Enlightenment. And as a Christian, I cannot regard Mssers. Voltaire and Rosseau positively. Marion never used the exact phrase, because no matter how hard you try, CRIF will still hate you.
The latest from Pat Condell -
Coulter get’s it right about Trump on Twitter
“Gotta admit, Trump does lack the formative experience of our past three presidents: community organizer, president’s son, rapist.”
From a Pew Poll of US Muslims:
Often justified 1%
Sometimes justified 7%
Rarely justified 5%
Never justified 81%
DK/Refused 6%
So we have about 5 million Muslims total, 50,000 of whom think suicide bombing civilian targets is “often justified” and 350,000 is “sometimes justified.” Not sure how we’d ever track them. And this of course understates the percentages, since some people who favor terrorist jihad are not going to be willing to tell a Pew pollster this.
http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-selected-questions.pdf
Views of Muslims elsewhere on suicide bombing:
http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-religion-and-politics/
Based on this Merkel has increased the number of people who favor suicide bombing in Germany by about 400,000 people.

Galt’s Gulch is over in Somalia for reelz dude. Maybe if you pitch it well that font of honesty Bryan Caplan will come with you.
If the premise is 'America is a nation of immigrants', then America is no longer America unless it keeps taking in more immigrants. And it means immigrants are 'more American' than those with deep roots here. So, native-born Americans must reverse-assimilate to the world filled with potential immigrants.
It's like if man is defined as a consumer, he must keep buying(even stuff he doesn't need or can't afford) to be a man.US, as currently defined, must keep consuming immigrants.
The elites prefer immigrants cuz the immigrants have no roots, claim, and memory in America that boost goy nationalism. Instead, the immigrants are merely grateful to the sector of America
(the globo-elites) that facilitated their easy entry.
Also, the immigrants' children, being raised on PC, are useful as agents who spread America-style 'culture and values' back to their home countries. A kind of neo-imperialism.
Look at Mexico. Its 'values' are becoming more globo-Americanized with stuff like 'gay marriage' in urban areas.
In a way, the 'anti-American' and pro-minority aspects of PC fool the children of immigrants into believing that the New American culture and 'values' are on their side and empowers them against 'racist' whites. After all, 'leftist' Obama is president, a development that suddenly made so many nations pro-American even though Obama is merely a servant of Jewish-homo oligarchs who seek to weaken the national sovereignty of every nation but Israel.
In truth, PC is really designed to aid globo-minoritarian-elitism in every nation but Israel.
What does American-style PC do in Russia, Iran, Mexico, Vietnam, etc?
It promotes homos allied with the globo-US empire.
This is the most succinct and accurate summation I’ve ever read on this subject.
Frum has been saying similar things for a long time.
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids! Stop worrying about divorce, your finances, and everything else that is used as an excuse to depopulate the traditional American family. Throw away the Pill and stop getting vasectomies.

One huge thing we’d need to do to get average Americans to have more kids: We need to put our money where our mouths are.
We’d have to really increase financial support going to parents — both directly and indirectly — so that they feel financially able to support that second and third child they’re often afraid to have.
I am all for having this kind of discussion. We need to have it soon, while the bulk of the money would go to the families of Americans who have been here for 3+ generations, not recent immigrants.
I was quite surprised and pleased when Frum landed over the Atlantic a few years ago.
I only wish more people would be like him and Mickey Kaus at kausfiles.com and question the usual nonsense about immigration.
A few months later they hired Frum. To spite me, I'm sure.

I wrote to the editor of the Atlantic and complained about how their writers were too liberal and only offered a limited world view to readers. I suggested that they hire Steve or Coulter in order to challenge their readers with novel viewpoints.
A few months later they hired Frum. To spite me, I’m sure.

Coulter sells her books, but she gives away a free column every week, free tweets every day, plus plenty of free appearances on radio and TV. It’s hard to think of any writer or pundit who doesn’t offer free content. It’s almost always a combo of free and paid.

How about HBD coloring book?
OK, I saw this coming. I can’t prove it, though. So I’ll make another prediction: adult swings.
Yes, big playground-sized swings with seats big enough for adult asses. God that would be fun.
All these three "White Americans" hate Muslims and Islam while salute flag of a foreign entity.
On September 16 Coulter Tweeted: “How many f…ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?”
One minute later, she followed with: “Maybe it’s to suck-up to Evangelicals.”
Morton A. Klein, president Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) demanded that Fox News fire Ann Coulter.
“Ann Coulter made appalling, anti-Jewish remarks which evoked the classic, antisemitic trope about Jewish manipulation of America for the purpose of supporting Israel at America’s expense,” said Klein.

Pete Wilson went nowhere in the Presidential primaries.
Also, he lost his voice and could not speak for 30 days. His opponents spread rumors that he had throat cancer. His donations dried up.
Also, he broke a pledge that he made when running for reelection as guv that he would not run for prez. That hurt him.
And finally, he was pro-choice and pro-gay rights and thus out of step with the Republican primary electorate.
While its nice to see US right-wing figures no longer being tools for the EU-center-”right” parties, Palin’s interpretation of the FN is misunderstood. The party has moved further left on economics, and the most notable similarity between Palin and the Le Pens is the moral turpitude.
On another point, I do regret the use of the phrase “Judeo-Christian”, while its better than “Abrahamic” which is taken to include Islam, the Judaism of the Post-Temple era and the Talmud, has almost always been at odds with Christianity until the Enlightenment. And as a Christian, I cannot regard Mssers. Voltaire and Rosseau positively. Marion never used the exact phrase, because no matter how hard you try, CRIF will still hate you.
Agree on Frum, but you do have to admit stuff you write about has a weird tendency to show up in the NYT 2 weeks later.
How much begging does she do?
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids!

Trump and Romney are enormously wealthy men. It’s not hard for enormously wealthy men to father many kids, and enormously wealthy men tend to have more kids compared to average men.
But most men aren’t enormously wealthy, so your examples of Trump and Romney and other enormously wealthy men are irrelevant.
The relevant factor here is women, and whether or not they’re willing to have kids with men who aren’t enormously wealthy, and how many kids they’re willing to have with such men.
I gave money w/ your name on it to vdare.com. Hopefully you get it. Money well spent in my book.
Right, Frum has been an immigration skeptic since the early/mid 90s, and he’s also been personal friends with Peter Brimelow for a long time.
In a recent TV interview, Coulter hyped Operation Wetback, by name. Those dumb enough to fall for Trump aren’t going to understand how self-defeating that is, but it’s incredibly self-defeating. No one who has power in DC is going to want to be associated with something named “Wetback”. Coulter could have said the name was unfortunate and reflected the times, but she didn’t.
Then, Trump comes out with a plan that won’t stop Obama’s agenda. That’s the bottom line. Trump might say things you agree with and stroke your inner child, but what Trump is doing won’t stop Obama’s agenda. Once again, those dumb enough to fall for Trump aren’t going to understand how he could stop that agenda, and they aren’t going to understand that Trump is in effect helping Obama.
At the same time, Trump refuses to use smart arguments that would stop Obama’s agenda (and cause Hillary to change her tune).
If you’re a Trump/Coulter fanboy, you’re part of the problem. You aren’t doing anything to help stop the bad guys. You’re just having an emotional release while helping harm the U.S.
How well were you sophisticated guys doing at solving the immigration problem before Trump and Coulter focused on it? Did you bring it to the forefront of national policy? Did you change any minds?
Because it looks to me like you were getting your asses handed to you.
Politics is a rough and stupid business. Sophisticated policy prescriptions must appeal to a large group of morons to have any chance of being implemented at all when the governing elites are opposed to them. They should preferably have some catchy summary to them that will fit on bumper stickers.
Trump is an idiot and a clown, but he's useful. He's gotten many people to talk openly about restricting immigration and that's a far more valuable talent than anything you and your sophisticated buddies will ever bring to the debate.
Isn't this the real problem, that the people who want the immigration mess to continue try to define what is allowable so that the discussion is always about how best to treat the illegals we have and never about kicking them out. Maybe you just aren't smart enough to see this.

To slowly destroy an economy mass immigration doesn’t have to lower wages; it just has to keep them static while living costs go up e.g. housing.
http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/crawl-space-500-rental-Pacific-Heights-Craigslist-6697499.php
What matters is the evaporation of disposable income as wages decline or remain static while living costs increase.
If you’re making yachts for the rich it doesn’t matter – your workforce was never part of your revenue stream anyway – but if you’re making cars, fridges, cookers etc you need a large middle class with disposable income…
and in the longer term if there’s no middle class with disposable income to buy stuff then eventually there will be fewer rich people to buy yachts.
That’s the problem – what was in the short term interest of the oligarch class (then) is harmful to everyone else in the medium term (now) and in the long run will be harmful to the oligarch class as well.
I think you may be underestimating what happens when people are pushed back against a wall with nowhere left to run.
True, but that was 2995. 20 years ago. Few had the perspicacity to see that this issue would be the dominant issue of our time. Wilson did.
Also, he lost his voice and could not speak for 30 days. His opponents spread rumors that he had throat cancer. His donations dried up.
Also, he broke a pledge that he made when running for reelection as guv that he would not run for prez. That hurt him.
And finally, he was pro-choice and pro-gay rights and thus out of step with the Republican primary electorate.
I wish we still had the edit function. Sigh.
What a bunch of blather.

I would get fired if any payment of mine got linked to Steve Sailer. So I can’t pay for something regular, but I am trying to figure out some way to pay. How about a pre-paid credit card?
I think there are quite a few readers in similar situations.
Can you please elaborate on this. How does this work? Is there any evidence this has happened before?

Dishonest by Drum, he has been getting much worse. I used to think he was pretty balanced.
Drum is correct about the sample size conclusion but the key component of Borjas argument on Miami is that wages in Miami didn’t change much because people moved away. That means you are unlikely to find local wage effects of immigration, They have to get big enough to ripple the national market.
Borjas’ big review of the literature still stands. There is not net benefit of immigration to most natives, and unskilled natives suffer wage loss and big drops in employment. This is confirmed by multiple studies from different authors and different approaches.
And its common sense, The supple demand approach is usually the right way to think about prices and quantities and the common sense thing is if you drastically expand the supply of low-skilled labor the price will fall. One does have to think about some bigger picture issues but that should bethe starting point- wages are likely going to fall. The literature says that maybe they don’t fall by quite as much as we would think, but they still fall.
And as Borjas points out its crazy to think that a welfare state built to subsidize low income families isn’t going to end up having nets costs from low income immigrants. Those are big.
One part of one Borjas study was wrong, the literature still stands.
I think there are quite a few readers in similar situations.
Money Order sent by postal mail (if you’re in the USA). Able to be done totally anonymous.
Step 2. Buy a money order, which will cost about $1.00 plus what value you want to send. (To send $50, pay about $51.10).
Step 3. Write the money order out to Steve Sailer. You may leave the "from" part empty. It doesn't affect the ability to cash the money order.
Step 4. Conceal the money order with a piece of paper in an envelope.
Step 5. Write Steve's mailing address on the front of the envelope.Step 6. Attach postage stamp.
Step 7. Put in the mailbox.
This is essentially guaranteed to be anonymous, certainly zero electronic trail. The downside is you have to do a little legwork.
Another possible downside is uncertainty about whether the money order is actually cashed. Since it is not tied to you (after you give the cash to the 7-11clerk, the obligation to pay is on 7-11. You are not a part of it, so also cannot confirm receipt). If this is a concern, you could include an email address with the money order and request that Steve confirm receipt.
Drum is correct about the sample size conclusion but the key component of Borjas argument on Miami is that wages in Miami didn't change much because people moved away. That means you are unlikely to find local wage effects of immigration, They have to get big enough to ripple the national market.
Borjas' big review of the literature still stands. There is not net benefit of immigration to most natives, and unskilled natives suffer wage loss and big drops in employment. This is confirmed by multiple studies from different authors and different approaches.
And its common sense, The supple demand approach is usually the right way to think about prices and quantities and the common sense thing is if you drastically expand the supply of low-skilled labor the price will fall. One does have to think about some bigger picture issues but that should bethe starting point- wages are likely going to fall. The literature says that maybe they don't fall by quite as much as we would think, but they still fall.
And as Borjas points out its crazy to think that a welfare state built to subsidize low income families isn't going to end up having nets costs from low income immigrants. Those are big.
One part of one Borjas study was wrong, the literature still stands.
Is anybody ever going to notice that Miami in 1980-1984 had a bit of cocaine money goosing local wages? I was watching Narcos on Netflix and that was about cocaine billions flowing through Miami in the 1980s. One of the early scenes was about what a snooze it was to be a DEA agent in Miami in 1979, chasing down weed-dealing hippies in flip flops, and then within a couple of years it was giant money cocaine from Pablo Escobar.
Step 1. Go to the post office or convenience store.
Step 2. Buy a money order, which will cost about $1.00 plus what value you want to send. (To send $50, pay about $51.10).
Step 3. Write the money order out to Steve Sailer. You may leave the “from” part empty. It doesn’t affect the ability to cash the money order.
Step 4. Conceal the money order with a piece of paper in an envelope.
Step 5. Write Steve’s mailing address on the front of the envelope.
Step 6. Attach postage stamp.
Step 7. Put in the mailbox.

I think there are quite a few readers in similar situations.
¡Ay Caramba! Gringo! Buy a USPS money order with cash and mail it to Steve’s P.O. Box:
It’s what’s known as a Mexifornian-Swiss bank account. They won’t even ask your name.
We also have this old fashioned thing called “currency” that is also completely anonymous, does not require a trip to the bank or ATM to cash, and allows the recipient to avoid income taxes.
Maybe people are worried about postal worker theft. I can’t say how common that is, but during college my grandmother sent me $20 or $30 by mail every month, plus an extra one for christmas and birthday, and did the same for my cousins, and none were ever mislaid. That’s 250+ separate cash mailings with nothing lost.
Also keep in mind that postal workers are well paid and get pensions. Even for dishonest ones, raiding random letters for cash does not seem too rational.
Not me!

A focus only on wages is silly however. Third world immigration certainly causes taxes to go up, public amenities to become more crowded, and living costs to increase.
Dont be that guy , the last guy left in this modern world that is too proud to take da gubments money !!!!!!! People on here cry all day that the immigrants and others get to live for free on our ( the working mans ) tax money , well start having kids and avail yourself of the money as well . Hey its fun to make kids . sex sex sex sex. Only problem you handsome stevie readers will have with the plan is that you will have to get your pasty asses off the internet for part of the day .
Its funny that all the " ALT " right people have like zero kids !!!!!! Way to be sooooooooo different and alternative from the mainstream sheeple !!!!!!! Maybe its all a ZIONIST plot anyway omgomgomgomgomgomg.
I raised three kids and paid child support and alimony for twenty-five years on top of it, so, let me just say one thing:
Fuck you.
People who have kids they cannot support should be spayed or neutered. End of story.
I have a son who is a doctor, a daughter in vet school and another who is a paramedic and a midwife. And two of them have kids they work to support too, so encouraging them to offer their services in that direction shouldn’t fall on too deaf ears.
The major reason America is going Adios is Americans aren’t having many children. Ann Coulter is a prime example.
Stop making excuses! Get married, buy a minivan and some bunk beds, and have 4, 5 or 6 kids! Stop worrying about divorce, your finances, and everything else that is used as an excuse to depopulate the traditional American family. Throw away the Pill and stop getting vasectomies. What is worse, getting divorced or dying alone without progeny? What is worse, living frugally, or having no grandchildren?
There is no American future without American children. If our genetic material is really so precious, as so many HBDers assert, than do something to spread it, like I did, like Trump, like Romney, and like others. Have 5 kids. Trust me, it’s easy and fun.
Unfortunately, I'm also a guilty party to this (one son).
It's like Mark Steyn says, the future belongs to those who show up for it.
Two or three is plenty. Trust me.
In Mexico, most of the mestizos only have that many. They come over here and have more because we encourage it, and when we stop tolerating it on our dime, they will stop.
No it isn't. 2 or 3 is a recipe for population decline.
This is because many people cannot have children, others do not get married, others could have children but don't, and some have only one. And of course some children die.
All those influences have to be countered to increase our numbers. That is why 4 is a bare minimum for someone having children who wants to keep the population stable-to-growing-slightly.
One set of my grandparents had three children. Oldest daughter died unmarried and childless in her 50's. Son had one child who was strangled by his umbilical cord at birth and suffered permanent brain damage. Other daughter, my mother, had two children. My brother is unmarried and childless. I am married and have five children. Accounting for my wife, we are plus one in my kids generation only because I had five children.
Other set of grandparents had four children. The daughter died childless. All three sons had two kids, so six grandchildren. As mentioned, my brother is childless, my one cousin has two children, his sister will have none, and my other two cousins will likely have two children eventually. So 12 cousins plus spouses becomes 11 great-grandchildren despite my having 5 children.
Now look at my wife's family. Her mother was an only child. Her father was one of three, but his brother never married and his sister married but had no kids. Her parents had four kids. So five parents+uncles/aunt becomes 4 in the next generation. Minus one. One of her brothers is unmarried and childless. Her other brothers each have four children. So 13 grandchildren from 4 children and 3 spouses. Plus six.
Four children is the bare minimum to increase the presence of your family genetic material permanently generation to generation.
As I said, if your DNA is really so valuable and has such great benefits for humanity, you should want to make a lot more of it. And irrespective of your choice in this, there are millions of illiterate peasants in Africa and Asia who are generously spreading their genes and will gladly have their children take the place of the children you chose not to have.
Nice Concern Trolling, there.

Bottlenecks sometimes rebound. Pocahontas had only a single great-grandchild, but she has thousands of living descendants today, including Nancy Reagan and Ron and Patty. Though yes, that branch will die out, unless Ron is a "donor".

“I would get fired if any payment of mine got linked to Steve Sailer”
Can you please elaborate on this. How does this work? Is there any evidence this has happened before?

You can also buy pre-paid Visa cards at most grocery stores. Pay with cash and there is no trail. I agree with Lot that sending cash through the mail is pretty safe; just put the bill (get a large one) inside a piece of folded paper and it will feel like a check inside an invoice.
I did a transfer from my Wells Fargo account which I think/hope is pretty secure. The feds could look at my account if they had a reason to do so. Steve is not enough of a reason. Yet.
Both methods can be 100% anonymous, but cash is inevitably more of a risk.
And how do you get stuff like a new Lexus, SUV or Toll Brothers home? You work your ass off and go into debt. You can't afford kids if you're doing this or on some insane career track.
Women really bought into it because it has been sold to them as "empowering" and "meaningful". Then they end up like Coulter at 40+ with no kids and no marriage.
Go back to the 50's and 60's and look at the houses of working and middle-class white families, they were small by today's standards, maybe 1100-1300 sq ft with 2 baths if you're lucky. It worked out well. Today your average white would turn their nose up at one of these older homes and demand some 3000 sq ft. "ranch style" that eats them alive in terms of mortgage and property taxes. Then there's the professional landscaping, interior work, etc.
Oh yeah then there's that new trend where hubby and wifey have separate bedrooms because they can't even tolerate each other? Wow.
Look at cars. Most people aren't content with just a beater that gets to them to work. They want a late model or new Toyota, Nissan or Ford that costs upwards of $25-30k.
All the money that would have been put into the family gets put into the vanity trips of the husband and wifey.
Whites bought the lie hook line and sinker and it's killing them off.
Nope.
White flight from urban violence and “bad schools” is responsible.
Warren doesn’t point out the cause but she lays out the process in this lecture with all the numbers.

Halt mass immigration and the native birth rate will go up as housing costs decline.

I was confusing you with that other Andrew, right up until that sentence. You might want to individualize your screen name, such as “Andrew the Fecund” or “Andreas Paterquinque”.

Back in the e-mail-only days, now and then Steve would post something similar to something I sent a month or two or three earlier, and I’d think, “Did he get that from me, or from fifty other readers, or is it just the natural evolution of logic?”, limited as it is to remnants like iSteve.

Not me!
Cash can be safe, you’re both right, unless postal employee(s) get reason to believe that lots of cash is being sent to a particular person. Sending a money order reduces the risk of tampering, because these cannot be cashed except to the payee. (Unless the postal employee happens to have the name “Steve Sailer”.)
Both methods can be 100% anonymous, but cash is inevitably more of a risk.
Like Chico says, if you want to send money anonymously the best way is US postal money orders. If you go to gun related web sites like Gunbroker, this is one of the preferred methods. If you send it in the mail and somebody steals it he has committed two serious felonies that the government will go after. He has stolen US mail and he has fraudulently cashed a money order not addressed to him. You have the receipt and can look up on the US mail web site to see if it was cashed. The recipient can cash it at the post office and ignore his bank if he so desires.
Frum does still hold grudges against “unpatriotic conservatives” like Buchanan and other paleocons, although they’ve been more or less vanquished now by neocons like Frum.
