The Glover Report

(BALTIMORE – April 18, 2026) – Something is wrong. Maybe it’s just me. But as sine die — the close of Maryland’s legislative session — has come and gone, there has not been a sustained, unified response from the 188 members of the General Assembly on behalf of the Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys. Do I have that right? In a state where the numbers tell a troubling story — where Baltimore City is home to just 9% of Maryland’s population but accounts for roughly 40% of the people in state prisons, according to the Justice Policy Institute (January 2024)…

The Glover Report: Ivan Bates Begins Battle on Baltimore Crime

By Doni Glover, Publisher (BALTIMORE – January 5, 2023) – The entire city is talking about Ivan Bates’ inauguration speech. I was watching it, but I got distracted by gunshots and touting outside my window. I did see the mayor and the police commissioner. I have learned from some of the best psychologists in the world who have reiterated over the years the significance of body language. The psychologists I am referring to are former felons. I have learned that nobody studies people more than inmates, and body language is indeed a form of communication. How we present ourselves says…

Early Voting starts Thursday. And coming around the bend in what looks like a three-horse race for the next Governor of Maryland on the Democratic side is Comptroller Peter Franchot, former US Secretary of Labor Tom Perez, and Rhodes Scholar/Veteran/former Robin Hood CEO Wes Moore.

The Glover Report: Abortion, Guns, and Illinois Rep. Mary Miller’s “Victory for White Life”: What it all means

By Doni Glover, Publisher www.bmorenews.com www.twitter.com/doniglover www.facebook.com/bmorenewsdotcom www.youtube.com/doniglover I Am Black Wall Street Unapologetically Black: Doni Glover Autobiography Thursdays at Midnight on WEAA 88.9 FM (BALTIMORE – June 29, 2022) – I appreciate U.S. Rep. Mary Miller for her comments about protecting “White life”. I really don’t have a problem with her honesty. Was it tacky? Absolutely, but it was truthful. I can deal with someone like Miller a lot better than I can with a dishonest person who lies about who they are. Sidebar: One thing I still can’t understand, however, is the Black men standing behind her in the shot; they were…

Through it all, I have also seen the maturation of Black political power here in a now “purple” state – to use Catalina Byrd’s description. Today, in 2022, African Americans have made unprecedented strides politically. Blacks in Annapolis are pushing the…

TGR: Will Randallstown, Liberty Road, and rest of 10th district fall for bizarre Jay Jalisi as Senator?

Kelley. She was my college professor at Coppin. She taught political science. She was not just some ordinary state representative. No siree Bob! She taught the course not just literally, but she lived, ate, and breathed politics. She knows Annapolis and the legislative process inside and out and can share a bit about the history…

Tell the truth and shame the devil. Thiru is on…

The Glover Report: What do we value? Rock-star embrace of former mayor is telling

She broke law and misused and abused the public trust. But I don’t blame Pugh. I’m talking about us, our values, and who we really are as a Black people. Over the years, I know of many people who have come home from prison and their family and friends have embraced them: Coming home…

We are good! “You can’t tell me nothing”, sings Kanye. You name the hottest venue and we’ve been there. The swankest get-togethers by the most in-crowd dude in the game, oh yeah. We…
