By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – August 5, 2023) – It’s no secret. Baltimore has some major challenges to face going forward. And as the May 14, 2024 election inches closer, the political landscape of mayoral candidates is getting increasingly interesting. It’s kind of like watching the Preakness as horses line up for the race. You know? You have some known names – of course, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. Former Mayor Sheila Dixon has demonstrated a likelihood of running. There is no mystery that Bob Wallace still plans to run again, this time as a Democrat. Thiru Vignarajah probably can…

UPTON BOXING HAS BIG FIGHT TOMORROW (8.5.23) AT COPPIN STATE. The GTD Challenge Live Professional Boxing FMI, VISIT HERE. _____________________________ By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – August 4, 2023) – BMORENews.com interviewed Upton Boxing Coach Calvin Ford this week at the gym on ‘the Avenue’. People familiar with this part of town understand the dynamics. Rapper Biggie Small expressed that in order to escape such a concrete jungle, a young Black man has to sell “crack rock” or have a “wicked jump shot.” There is some truth to that. However, it’s far from totally true. Gervonta “Tank” Davis made it…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – August 1, 2023) – We’ve been following this case for 9 years. Finally, after Attorney Ben Crump got involved 2 years ago, the Lacks Family is finally getting justice against Thermo Fisher Scientific, a biotechnology company based in Massachusetts that exploited Lacks’ HeLa cells for profit. Don’t even get me started on the people who assisted in this travesty. This family has undergone all kinds of diabolical evil. Ron Lacks would not give up tho. With his wife at his side, Ron would one day meet Crump. And the rest is history. Congrats to…

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – July 25, 2023) – The case of the squeegee murder currently being deliberated by jurors is a classic example of how race is still a factor in America. Baltimore is the home of segregation, thanks to Mayor J. Barry Mahool. And so, it is no surprise how Fox 45 News is playing up this trial in a way that clearly divides the city racially. Fox 45 News has been leading the way on this divisiveness, as if we need it; as if our time wouldn’t be better spent working on the healing. Feel me?…

(BALTIMORE – July 21, 2023 ) – First, I want to commend Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott for doing a hell of a job with the squeegee kids. His efforts to help them surpass all previous mayors. Great job! But that’s not the story. This is the story: This morning, former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon noted on Fox 45 that Safe Streets is her baby and that she would use it a bit differently than the way it is being currently utilized. She also told Fox’s Patrice Sanders that she would – if she were mayor – be more transparent about…

Seersuckers, Straw hats, and Black-eyed Susans (BALTIMORE – May 25, 2023) – I went to my first Preakness as an adult back in the 90s. I quickly learned how impactful the Preakness Race is to Baltimore and the world, for that matter. It is a top-tier race of historical significance being the second leg of the Triple Crown. That trio of races includes the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. Having lived a spell in Park Heights with my cousins – having been a member of The Lord’s Church at 5010 Park Heights Avenue under Bishop Kevia Elliott…

“Connecting Large & Small Businesses to Work Together.” By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 12, 2023) – There is no feeling for me like walking into a room full of business people. Pierre Stewart, one of the most excellent networkers on planet Earth, taught me a long time ago how to maneuver in a room with nearly a thousand people. You have a ‘3-minute rule’. Whatever cannot be communicated in that period automatically gets a follow-up date. The goal, after all, is to touch as many key people in the room as possible and then leave, re-group, and begin…

“There aren’t enough people in the US Senate who live like, think like, and look like the people they’re supposed to represent. My Great-Grandma told me, “If you don’t like something, go farther and do better.” I’m proud to say I’m running for the Senate. Let’s go farther together. – Angela Alsobrooks By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 9, 2023) – With Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ entrance this morning into the Maryland US Senate race for next year political junkies, operatives, and pundits alike are about to have a field day. Last week, Western Maryland Congressman David Trone,…

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On!’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ― Calvin Coolidge By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – May 3, 2023) – Well, someone finally pulled a “me” on me. How fascinating! Yesterday evening, after recognizing a couple of thousand other people since 2011 in about…

(WASHINGTON, DC – April 30, 2020) – I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mrs. Virginia Ali of Ben’s Chili Bowl. I sat with Washington, D.C. royalty up in the balcony at the Lincoln Theater with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ali, Marc Clarke, and Rondy Griffin. Written by Dr. Lovall Long and Angelique Long, the play being performed was “The Giz”, a DC-flavored spin on “The Wiz” featuring the ever-favorite sounds of Go-go. The dancers were spectacular and the actors and actresses brought the story to life in a most magnificent way. The audience was glued to their seats, including me. I…
