From secure borders to functioning cities, America is shedding the hard-won pillars of civilization—by choice, not chance—in a sweeping, top-down descent into disorder.
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.
Stranger still, illegal aliens were at times given precedence over citizens—as immigration law was simply discarded.
Without IDs, illegal aliens boarded U.S. flights, while the government ordered citizens to obtain more secure “real” IDs.
Some 8,500 veteran soldiers were drummed out of the military for refusing the experimental mRNA vaccinations. Yet 10 million simply walked across the southern border into America, without a care from the Biden administration whether they were vaccinated, ill, or had criminal records.
Any American citizen pulled over for speeding with an invalid driver’s license, while trafficking eight illegal aliens without identification, would be jailed and charged with felony counts. Not Abrego Garcia—the violent spousal abuser, M-13 gang-member, and previously deported illegal alien. He was neither arrested nor even cited by the officers who pulled him over.
One of the great hallmarks of Roman civilization and subsequent Western civilization was its ability to create large cities by importing clean water, removing waste through sewers, and collecting garbage from the streets.

the other guys to blame.
Rodney wonders why all can’t get along.
Typical overreach.
I wish Trump had of paused the silly Real ID nonsense.
It’s already reported TSA employees are not trained to understand them.
The TSA should be massively downsided.
What idiot chose the gold star. Antisemitic jerk?
You’re right. That’s exactly what the President Trump is doing right now.
You are the voice of reason but threaten some people’s “truths” when there’s agendas to grind. I personally don’t like it when someone tries to confuse me with the facts.
Seriously though; we have nearly a hundred years of government being corrupted while allowed to expand past the point of proper control. We know that went hand-in-hand with socialist dominance of education and entertainment while religion and God have been shoved into roles of near irrelevance - to the great impoverishment of the children who grew up not knowing better.
What really gets me is race-baiters like Al Sharpton who champion DEI from one side of his mouth and quoting Martin Luther King out of the other. We can’t be unified with a character/merit-based colorless society and tolerate some sliding scale of pigmentation victimhood at the same time.
That’s utterly irrational.
Tribalism is the bane of our world that only a more vicious form of rule can reign in - Islam, the antithesis of civilization. So long, Europe; it was nice visiting you.
