The Decivilizing of America

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 5/12/2025 11:53:42 AM

Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security. In contrast, what we suffered from 2021 to 2025 was unprecedented. It was an intentional administration effort to de-civilize the nation by destroying its borders—as if to return to the premodern era, when there were no clearly defined or secure borders, and nomadic peoples migrated as they pleased.

Many of us on this site have been saying that whatever is happening in this country is less due to incompetence and negligence and more due to a deliberate, coordinated action to destabilize and destroy our civilization. VDH precisely captures this his inimitable style. Absolutely a Must Read.

And who more appropriate to decivilize America than the uncivilized Democrat Party? A match made in hell. Thus, God sent Trump the Lion-hearted to halt the invasion. And it was so.

FTA: Why is America decivilizing? Maybe because our corrrupt politicians, academics and our disgraceful MSM want it that way. Anti-citizen hate attracts unhinged, dysfunctional people. In 2016, Middle America was called deplorable, racist, homophobic and many other epithets by people who wanted Donald Trump thrown in jail. Democrats, with the help of certain agencies, bureaucrats and MSM talking heads promoted the odious Trump Russia Hoax without bothering to verify anything. That bunch made up lies to smear middle America and Donald Trump, while spending four years scolding Americans for daring to notice Joe Biden was senile. They lost the trust of citizens because besides nobody thought Joe Biden was "running circles" around anybody. Dems thrive on chaos and mistrust. No wonder they're acting as though illegals are a legitimate constituency. Middle America sees Dems as unworthy of trust, and obsessed with "serving" foreign criminals at the expense of our own citizens. Dems reinforce that notion every day. If they wanted to work for the American people, they wouldn't waste time trying to keep foreign wife beaters on American soil. We don't need that kind of "representation."

VDH puts it out there. Pulls no punches. But understand something here. A secular society will ultimately die. However, President Trump has a chance to slow it down but who will step up after him to set the example. We can't rely on one person to right the ship. And forget about the left. It wants chaos, evil, corruption, and immorality. This would keep the left in charge. So what about us.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis has declared he will block President Trump’s choice for the crucial position of US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin. His no vote will sink the nomination and if Martin isn’t confirmed in time, his replacement reportedly could be chosen by Trump-hating US District judge James Boasberg. Tillis doesn’t even have a plausible reason, telling reporters that his difference with Tillis is over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Martin believes that some J6ers were unfairly over prosecuted and Tillis believes they all should have been jailed “for absolutely destroying the Capitol” — which never happened.

The first sign of just how revolutionary President Trump’s second term would be actually came two years before his re-election. On June 6, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, delivering pro-life conservatives a victory decades in the making—but which, in the end, was only made possible by Donald Trump. Before Trump’s first term, Republican presidents had displayed a remarkable knack for preserving a pro-Roe majority on the Court: George H.W. Bush more than offset the conservative jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas by appointing Anthony Kennedy and David Souter. And while both of George W. Bush’s appointees voted to reverse Roe, the younger Bush had tried hard

When the pilgrims settled in what would later become Massachusetts, they were seeking religious liberty after years of persecution in Europe. The pilgrims were the first of many such people seeking to make a new life lived in liberty for their families in the New World. Remembering such religious persecution, the founding generation adopted the First Amendment to prevent the federal government (and later state and local governments through the Fourteenth Amendment) from “prohibiting the free exercise” of religion. That protection for religious Americans should not act merely as a small carveout from government abuse.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s speech in New Hampshire last week was greeted by the media as yet another stirring call to arms for the rudderless Democratic Party. “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption – but I am now,” Pritzker thundered. “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.” Republicans protested that the governor came close to inciting political violence – and they have a point

The Department of Government Efficiency noticed a snag: the sign-in button on the IRS homepage wasn’t where it ought to be. Instead of the upper right-hand corner where we, the people, have been trained to look for logins, it was stacked with other buttons in the middle of the page. It was not too hard to find, but its unusual placement disrupted the interface between taxpayers and tax collectors. It was a simple fix. Yet an IRS engineer reportedly estimated that it would take at least 103 days to move the button. Thankfully, Elon Musk’s team posted last month on X, “This engineer worked with the DOGE team

The Anti-Defamation League recently asked people in 103 countries whether they agreed with 11 antisemitic statements including: “Jews are responsible for most of the world’s wars,” “Jews have a lot of irritating faults,” “Jews have too much control over the media,” and “Jews’ loyalty is only to Israel.” The ADL Global 100 survey for 2024 classified almost half of respondents as “possessing antisemitic attitudes” because they agreed with at least six of the 11 statements. Of course, an average that high means that in some places, the percentage stands considerably higher: 92% in Saudi Arabia, 62% in Russia, 58% in China, and the highest level, at 97%,

President Trump endorsed giving new mothers a financial reward Tuesday after a report surfaced that the White House was considering handing out up to $5,000 per delivery to reverse the decline in US birth rates. “Sounds like a good idea to me,” Trump told The Post in the Oval Office when asked about the reported cash incentive to get more Americans to have kids. The adminstration’s deliberations over the so-called “baby bonus” were first reported Monday by the New York Times.

The State Department has pulled the plug on its domestic censorship machine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week handed pink slips to the 50 full-time staff who were part of a shady subagency known as the Global Engagement Center. It’s a welcome move. “Over the last decade, Americans have been slandered, fired, charged, and even jailed for simply voicing their opinions. That ends today,” Mr. Rubio announced last week. Like every other government program, the center started with a reasonable mission: combating the messaging of radical Islamic terrorists overseas to prevent them from radicalizing youths. After a few years, the center’s capabilities were hijacked by activists who turned the focus inward

By her own admission, Stacey Abrams has made a number of "personal financial missteps” in her career. Despite a history marked by bill collectors, tax liens, and ethics investigations, the Georgia politician and Democratic Party activist has managed to amass a small fortune – while working most of her career in the not-for-profit sector. Financial records show that when she first entered statewide politics in 2018, she reported a net worth of less than $109,000. By 2022, the last year she had to publicly file a financial report, it had grown to more than $3.2 million. Abrams is probably even better off than that, thanks to her latest venture: Rewiring America

Remember Episcopal Bishop Marian Edgar Budde? On January 21, as presiding bishop for the National Cathedral's "Service of Prayer for the Nation," Budde decided to use a supposedly ecumenical and unifying prayer event to browbeat President Donald Trump and make her case for illegal immigrants and the LGBTQ-all-the-letters tribe. (Snip) We have not heard from Bishop Budde of late, but her denomination has let it be known that their vestments are in a wad. Why, you might ask?

On Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13-2 to void the election results from February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D) were elected to serve as co-vice chairmen of the DNC, according to the New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to “spend up to $20 million” to fund “primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.” Per the outlet, the decision from the credentials committee came after “three hours of internal debate and one tie vote,”

The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed. Despite constantly gaslighting by the mainstream media, Americans knew the economy was in poor shape and these latest numbers prove it. Month after month, the government bean-counters under former-president Biden published overly optimistic estimates for everything from job growth to the size of the economy, only to have those numbers routinely—and quietly—revised down later. Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces estimates for the number of nonfarm payrolls in the country,

Fox 17 reported that at least two restaurants closed last weekend due to the rumored presence of law enforcement. “It’s just creating this general sense of fear all the time,” said a manager to Fox 17. “There were rumors flying around about ICE being on Lower Broadway. It was credible enough that we had to close the restaurant because back-of-house staff had to leave. Everyone split.”

Jasmine Crockett, the Texas congresswoman who reliably and routinely beclowns herself every single time she opens her mouth, is now going after her own party because as she asserts, they’re considering running the “safest white boy” in 2028 as their next presidential candidate. What would she prefer? The opposite? A problematic black woman? News flash Crockett, y’all just did that, and it was the biggest beating you Democrats have had at the ballot box in more than forty years—since Ronald Reagan, and that was lifetimes ago! She doesn’t like “safe” and “white,” so is “dangerous” and “black” better? Sounds like her ideal candidate would be George Floyd, or O.J. Simpson.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell on Friday reportedly signed an executive order to establish protocols for various Metro Nashville departments to provide the mayor’s office with any information deemed “immigration communications,” which might reflect forthcoming federal immigration enforcement in the city. O’Connell appears to have actually amended his Executive Order 30, which is titled Communications Between Federal Immigration Authorities and the Metropolitan Government. The order mandates any communication to Nashville police, fire, emergency management, or emergency communications personnel by federal immigration law enforcement, or their federal agencies, be reported to the Mayor’s Office of New Americans.

Just yesterday, I wrote about Britain’s decline as its embrace of unlimited immigration from Third World (mostly Muslim) countries and its commitment to the insane Net Zero carbon dioxide metric are leading it toward a Muslim-controlled polity and a pre-modern energy infrastructure. Today, I awoke to two more reports about Britain’s decline, this time related to speech and self-defense. These reports matter because the leftist British approach to governance is what the Democrat party desperately wants to see in America. The first story comes from The Telegraph, Britain’s (slightly) right-of-center outlet, and its title says it all:

Planned Parenthood’s newest annual report shows the pro-abortion organization facilitated a record number of abortions, over 402,000, and received more taxpayer funding than ever before. Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 report says it provided 402,200 abortions during that time period, while receiving $800 million of taxpayer funding, or over $2 million daily. “For yet another year, pregnant women seeking help at Planned Parenthood are sold an abortion 97% of the time, while prenatal services, miscarriage care and adoption referrals make up a minuscule minority of the options they offer. Meanwhile their priorities include their assault on parental rights, transgender treatments, and political spending to defeat Republicans,”
