Tampa Bay Rants and Raves is a locally based, conservative blog established in 2014. Published each Sunday, it deals with the local (and sometimes national) political scene as well as a healthy serving of both local and national sports.

We also address local lifestyle issues ranging from good but perhaps not so well-known restaurants in the bay area; that gem of a non-fiction book we may stumble across and neat stuff to do in this paradise we call home. We also feature some genuinely good people in our locale you may or may not know.

Lastly, so we may never take ourselves too seriously, the weekly blog will usually feature at least one piece of the truly bizarre. We welcome your comments unless, of course, you are a flaming liberal - just kidding. See our masthead about taking everything here at face value.

Enjoy!
