For the record, Dr. Charles Darwin, the eminent British naturalist, who in the 1860’s postulated the earth-shattering, scientific concept of a gradual evolution, never said the oft-repeated phrase used since, i.e. “survival of the fittest.”
That was another jingoistic P.R. creation of London’s Fleet Street tabloid newspapers, used to justify the imperial accumulation of foreign colonies, along with its dual moniker, “the Sun never sets on the British Empire”. But I digress.
Had the good doctor cast his gaze upon urban creations as organic-like entities, he might have had a serious vomiting episode upon his examination of modern-day Tucson. Events there since the Cold War’s end (1991), continue to validate a species-like evolutionary downward spiral; what present-day city analysts call an urban doom-loop.
Something routinely validated by more sequential events in the “Dirty T” …including the barnacle-like administrations of the Grijalva Gang’s feckless “leadership”, i.e. the recent appointment of witless Gang newbie, Andres Cano, to be the newest BOS Commissar for Pima County, and their election failure (>70%) to con the growing destitute citizenry into Arizona’s highest [plunder] sales taxes.
Let’s not forget the absolute menagerie of hundreds of aging hippie, Geezer-refugees in full Hard-Left, battle gear regalia, assembled weekly at the local Tesla dealership to protest ‘Evil Elon’. Egged-on by their local aircover newsrag, the Arizona Daily [Red] Star, with its running compendium of stem winding geriatric op-eds, prattling constantly the most inane liberal nonsense.
And the month’s most sickening, gut wrenching example of Tucson’s bitter decline has got to be the near-decapitation, senseless morning hatchet murder of a young Alabama father at a downtown bus stop, waiting as a tourist to see this desert paradise. No doubt Tucson’s Soros-backed, County Attorney Laura Conover will find some wacky legalistic excuse to exculpate the crazed attacker.
Frankly, by now I have given up on what purports to be Tucson’s craven ‘business community’ to correct, enforce, and basically intimidate, the utter scumbag political establishment of this 1.1 million metro into some semblance of correct behavior.
All this leading back to what Darwin really did say about evolutionary survival; it was the critical ability to change in a manner that helped a species solve its key existential problems. Tucson at this point is so far beyond this ability to change, the only thing now is to give odds on the actual timing of the coming cataclysm.
SO STOP FUNDING TUCSON, Arizona. They hate your guts, steal & squander your money, plan & plot your demise, have totally failed to contribute (more water, more tech, border trade, educated/capable workforce) to the state. Build a physical bypass around it, and let the urban anaerobic bacteria do their work, for the giant septic tank it is.

When Tucson said nyet to Motorola , National Semiconductor and the Butterfield it’s been sliding into this he crapper
Voters have the power to change Tucson’s current decline. The general elections for City Council Wards 3, 5, and 6 are set for November 4, 2025, which is this year. This election is open to all city residents, allowing them to cast their votes for candidates in all three wards, regardless of their home location. Support moderate conservative candidates Janet “JL” Wittenbraker for Ward 3 and Jay Tolkoff for Ward 6.
Tuc sons decline – the 60’s 70 s America – Drugs – Drug running – The Hippie movement – 4th Ave – Drugs and Rock’n roll – hey Tucson ROCKED! – The bars were every corner ‘Try TUCSON FIRST’ was the Drug slogan of the city was it not. Pot moved from Tucson to ‘everywhere’.. that was then, move forward 30 years – how many of your friends are dead from Drugs? How many went to jail for running drugs? how many lost families to DRUGS – how many died of Drug use diseases? Oh it’s fun… really? Look around at the city now – A leftist out house – no jobs – few skills – dead eyes – desperate illegals eating garbage at the Dunkin Doughnut shop TRUE or FALSE
Let’s also not forget about the homeless crisis we now have. Look at the homeless commune at Golf Links. That’s become completely out of control. The garbage piles are getting higher. Must be a few hundred tents there now.
And it will stay that way until the Pima county GOP Pulls their head out and starts to fight for our citizens. All this new tech going to Maricopa County and not one drop here in PIMA COUNTY. Seems like our GOP can’t see it because their head is so far up they can only look through anal hair.
being outnumbered 3:1 in city proper, pubs will never gain meaningful foothold
with corrupt democratic machine – call it the grijalva/giffords wrecking crew
no viable GOP member will bother to put themselves thru the frustrating hubris call Tucson electorate
want to see viable GOP – go to Vail/Marana – skip Tucson
to many takers here and it will never change
Can’t slay it much better than that Bill. I do have one thing to add…..remember the Steel song “Stuck in the middle with you” that had a bridge with these words: Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. Stuck in Tucson with you. About sums up the political leadership doesn’t it.
Tucson/Pima County – the leftist commune too far left to survive. How democrats turned a beautiful, scenic, thriving and growing metropolis into a sh@itcity in a few decades, almost all the crap directly related to the toad, Raul Grijalva and his Mexican mafia.
Has there ever been an investigation into Grijalva Realty and their source of managed properties and income?
