How do I connect the 2 wire when only one screw is avaible. Put in a tail and mar the 3 blacks or remove the red and just mar it???

Yes Harry you are correct tie all 3 blacks together and make a Pigtail and hook it back up to your outlet, make sure you hook your neutral and Ground up, Leave the red wire alone that is controled by a switch.

BE CAREFUL!!!
You either have a half switch (half of outlet operated by a wall switch or a split wire duplex (two seperate legs from panel box.
Without looking at it and determining which I can not tell what you have. Definatley do not start making splices until you know which you have.

You are doing a whole lot of things wrong... You should get an electrician before you kill yourself or burn your house down,,,
