Ron DeSantis wants Patrick Murphy, Alan Grayson to join him in fight against ISIS terror

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Congressman Ron DeSantis, running for Senate on a message heavy on national security, takes a hard-line position when it comes to the global war against ISIS. His recently filed legislation, the Terrorist Refugee Infiltration Prevention Act (TRIP), reflects that. The bill, claims a media release from the DeSantis campaign, “blocks refugees from coming into America from countries like Somalia, Syria, and Yemen that have significant territory controlled by groups considered terrorist organizations like ISIS.” Ted Cruz, among the upper tier of…

San Diego Chargers shock Jacksonville Jaguars out of division title race

in Sports/Top Headlines by

On “Salute to Service” Day at EverBank Field, it was appropriate that the Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the San Diego Chargers. Against their fellow Naval town team, the Jags needed to make a statement. The statement they made?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Jacksonville Jaguars, at 4-5, are inspiring among fans the kind of optimism that the team hasn’t in close to a decade. That says a lot about how the team has underperformed.

Marcus Mariota came out firing for the road squad, getting the Titans near the Jags’ 30 on the first drive, throwing darts, and getting Tennessee in range for a 47 yard FG from reliable veteran Ryan Succop. Blake Bortles, down 3-0, went three and out and on his…

Jaguars win thriller in “Charm City”, stop road loss skid at 13

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked to break their streak of thirteen straight road losses in a trip to a fellow 2-6 team in Baltimore. And they pulled it off. There was reason to hope they would do just that going into the game. The Ravens were without Steve Smith, and the Ravens pass defense had been one of the worst in the league going into Sunday. Of course, the Jaguars’ defense had been exploitable also. The Ravens, in going for it…
