“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Steve Bannon became the latest figure from President Donald Trump's world to be targeted with public harassment while browsing books in Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday afternoon. While at bookstore Black Swan Books, Bannon was confronted by a woman who began "verbally accosting" him and calling him "a piece of trash," according to a report by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Nick Cooke, the owner of Black Swan Books, asked the woman to leave the store and, when she refused, he called the police. "Steve Bannon was simply standing, looking at books, minding his own business. I asked her to leave, and she wouldn't. And I said, 'I'm going to call the police if you don't,' and I went to call the police and she left," Cooke told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in an interview. "And that's the end of the story."Cooke called 911, but the unnamed woman left before the police arrived."We are a bookshop. Bookshops are all about ideas and tolerating different opinions and not about verbally assaulting somebody, which is what was happening," Cooke said.Bannon could not immediately be reached for comment. This incident is one of the latest in a string of public confrontations of curr... (eve Bannon called 'piece of trash' by heckler at bookstore)
James, Tartarus McFadden, George Campbell.)Clemson (Best recruits: Christian Wilkins, Deon Cain and Ray-Ray McCloud.)Tennessee (Best recruits:Drew Richmond, Kyle Phillips, Khalil McKenzie and Alvin Kamara.) Georgia, Auburn, LSU, THE Ohio State and Texas A&M. Half of those schools have had coaching changes since that signing day. (Clay Helton was named the full-time head coach in November 2015.)Two of the top five had miserably disappointing seasons last year. Yes, three of the four teams in the college football playoff as well. So yes, getting the players is the starting point, but man getting talent and wasting talent will get you fired quickly. LeBron and Cavs debacleThe Cavs are a dumpster fire. LeBron and the Boys had a 21-point lead and got smoked in the second half by a terrible Orlando team. The wheels have come off.LeBron was even asked about waiving his no-trade clause after the game, and he said he would never do that to his teammates. (In truth, we believe LeBron is unwilling to waive that trade clause because of what it would mean down the road. No not to LeBron and future earnings. Rather, LeBron would seemingly be willing to sacrifice the extra millions he could get by resigning with a new team for the assets it would cost his new team in the trade, if that makes sense.) Stink, because we'll ask this: Would Lebron James being willing to waive his no-trade clause be the most interesting thing that could possibly happen in sports during the next 24-plus hours?OK, let's clarify. We must take all deaths off the books. And cheating/sexual scandals, because let's be honest, after the Michigan State stuff, 'interesting' is not the right word.Which brings us back to LeBron and the talking point of his no-trade clause. Multiple teams have, according to this story, inquired about whether LeBron would waive his no-trade clause. It makes sense. The Cavs are free-falling. Other than James, that roster is a first-round flame-out waiting to happen. It also makes sense for the Cavs to look to deal James. He's a free agent at the end of the season. The team rightly does not want to deal the unprotected Nets' No. 1 pick. (As of right now that pick is a lottery pick but is only three wins ahead of Atlanta for last place. Tanking Fever, catch it.)It also makes sense for LeBron. He can craft where he wants to go. Heck, he likely could craft a deal that would include a spot for BFF Dwyane wade, too.)This Cavs structure is broken. LeBron hates owner Dan Gilbert and vice versa, regardless of the chance each presented the other for redemption. It's done. And LeBron is headed somewhere.But if he would agree — and the construct of a deal could be woven — would that not behoove both sides. And then, as we become a sports culture ...

The reason is due to reported shootings just outside the lot last night."It's always sad because that's one of the things we're trying to escape in Richmond, Virginia, all that neighborhood violence and things like that. I just wish everyone could come to some sort peace and understanding and not have to worry about being frightened, scared or losing hours at your job because you have to be sheltered because of violence," explains Lewis.While he and his father are looking forward to watching their favorite team Monday night, they hope others watching..."Just take pride in your home, take pride in your home, your area, your neighborhood, your city, your state," Lewis adds.Crews on site tell us they are thankful there is a full-day in between the homecoming game and Monday Night Football, giving them time to clean up.Fox 17 News reached out to TSU and will keep you updated on their response.
