"If we are going to save our country, Republicans need to get a lot worse at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Passing the FRA would be a good start and set the stage for additional victories to come."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from the postseason Monday night after being crushed by the Dallas Cowboys, 31-14. The win sends the Cowboys to San Francisco to play against the 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Cowboys’ win was huge but the bigger story to come from this game seems to be centered around Tom Brady. The 45-year-old may have played in the final game of his legendary football career. When the seven-time Super Bowl champion jogged off the field, he tipped his cap to the crowd as to say “thank you.” He then stopped by...

Went to see the new Top Gun last night with my hot girlfriend. The first time I saw the original I was in Air Force Tech School and went to see it with my wing man at the mall in Henderson KY. This was of course, smack dab in the middle of the 80s when the movie really meant something. I had expected this to flop like the remake of Red Dawn because in large part due to the context of the time, then and now. But I was disproved, thank goodness, read on. I wanted to like this movie...

We've heard this time and time again- its more financially beneficial to stay home and get your government "relief" than actually get a job. I am seeing it firsthand this week. We are in Cocoa Beach, Florida at our condos for a week and tonight went to one of our favorite restaurants Jazzy's Mainely Lobster. Over the past few days we've seen restaurants down here, including Jazzy's, with signs that read "closed Tuesday's." We asked the hostess why- her response? "They cannot find people who want to work. Its better for them to sit at home and collect money from...

on’t mess with these Texas parents. A husband and wife in Houston chased down an alleged “peeping Tom” lurking outside their 10-year-old daughter’s bedroom window — and shot him, authorities said. The couple said they heard their daughter scream late Sunday when she spotted the man touching himself, local reports said. “She looks over at the window and this guy is at her window,” the girl’s mother, who asked not to be identified, told KPRC-TV. “He took my daughter’s innocence away.”

Representative Tom Reed held a press conference Wednesday afternoon at his Corning campaign office after a brick was thrown through a window overnight. Reed was joined by his family, Corning Mayor Bill Boland, State Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, and a small group of supporters outside of his office. “This type of violence is completely unacceptable,” said Reed, “to the coward who did this… this will not deter us.” The Congressman says that Corning Police are investigating the vandalism and that there are cameras in the area when the brick was thrown around 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday. No campaign staffers were inside...

The English theologian George Hawkins Pember, in his 1876 masterpiece, Earth’s Earliest Ages, analysed the prophecy of Jesus Christ that says the end times would be a repeat of “the days of Noah.” Pember outlined the seven great causes of the antediluvian destruction and documented their developmental beginnings in his lifetime. The seventh and most fearful sign, Pember wrote, would be the return of the spirits of Nephilim, “the appearance upon earth of beings from the Principality of the Air, and their unlawful intercourse with the human race.” Jesus Himself, in answering His disciples concerning the signs of His coming...

TAMPA — Even winning six Super Bowls and joining the Bucs didn’t help Tom Brady get special treatment. Like the rest of us, the 42-year-old former Patriots quarterback has had trouble finding a place to work out. Brady was spotted at a city park and told to leave by a Tampa Parks and Recreation staffer, according to Tampa Mayor Jane Castor. The city’s parks are closed in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. “I got to tell you this story, too. I always tell people, ‘Now I’m not one to gossip so you didn’t hear this from me,'”...

Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer has refused to abandon his campaign for President Trump’s impeachment even after the special counsel’s report found no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. “The Democratic leadership in the Congress has the same goals and values that I do. But we have something that we disagree about, that is about tactics not about values or goals,” Steyer told ABC News in a podcast Thursday, referencing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s call for Democrats to back off calls for impeachment. Steyer said the “Need to Impeach” movement, which he heads, carry on seeking support for the removal...

SAN FRANCISCO — California billionaire and progressive activist Tom Steyer will travel to Iowa on Wednesday to disclose whether he will run for president in 2020, but unlike other potential Democratic candidates, he is outspoken in his belief that President Trump must be impeached and removed, rather than just voted out of office. “I think that he is the most corrupt president in American history,” Steyer said of Trump in an interview Tuesday with Yahoo News. “He is very destructive to our country and to the American people. Getting rid of him is a statement that we believe in the...

A woman has come forward with allegations that her ex-wife, a New York State Senate candidate, verbally and physically abused her.. Brandi Morgan, 36, alleges that Amanda Kirchgessner, 34, the Democratic candidate for New York’s 58th Senate district, repeatedly threw objects at her; threatened to strangle her; pushed and grabbed her, and threatened to kill her animals if she left their marriage....

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi found himself on hot-water over the weekend, telling a “nervous” crowd of supporters it may be time to “put pressure” on the President using “the Second Amendment” if he opposes the constitution. According to the NY Post, Suozzi was speaking at a town hall event in Long Island, New York when he suddenly commented on the Second Amendment; bizarrely suggesting it may be the only thing to prevent the Commander-in-Chief from “ignoring the courts.” “It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president,” Suozzi told the crowd. “This is where the Second Amendment comes...

NEW YORK - Tom Petty's family says his death last year was due to an accidental drug overdose. His wife and daughter released the results of Petty's autopsy via a statement on his Facebook page Friday night. Dana and Adria Petty say they got the results from the coroner's office earlier in the day that the overdose was caused due to a variety of medications. The statement was posted moments before the Los Angeles coroner's office issued its official findings, which confirmed that Petty had a variety of medications, including fentanyl and oxycodone in his system. They say Petty suffered...

Oh noooo

In light of current events, I wish to share a true story about a hermit from Loreto, Italy and the premonition he was given by God.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, Jr. (R-CA) appeared on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal Wednesday morning and expressed some stark “generalizations” about Middle Easterners in reference to the United States’ negotiations with Iran over that country’s nuclear development. People in that part of the world always want to “get the best deal possible no matter what it takes,” he said, and “that includes lying.”

These 7 Senators did NOT sign the letter: Jeff Flake - Ariz Bob Corker - Tenn Lisa Mukowski - Alaska Lamar Alexander - Tenn Thad Cochran - Miss Susan Collins - Maine Dan Coats - Ind

Foreign high-tech workers are taking American jobs and making Silicon Valley's diversity problem worse, Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a Fortune interview. "There are Americans who can do that work, and H1B workers are cheaper and undercut wages," Jackson said, referring to the class of visas most often used by tech workers.

Kudos from the Phoenix New Times Okay. We can take it. It’s all in fun, after all. Or is it? At any rate, the bizarro-world* leftists at the Phoenix New Times tabloid have awarded Seeing Red AZ the “Best Right-Wing Blog, 2014.” We are even credited as a valuable resource “for reporters and researchers. They got us right on our view of John McCain, but skewed the facts on nearly everything else, as was doubtless their intent.
