Democratic Dominance?

By Lucius Gantt Congratulations to the Democratic candidates who won monumental victories in the 2025 elections. So-called political pundits and experts suggested that the “affordability” messages were the reasons for winning races for Governor in New Jersey and Virginia, and for Mayoral wins in New York City and in Atlanta, Georgia. Well, TGR has a simpler analysis of how the elections turned out. All election night long, cable news pundits talked abo

Murders On The High Seas

By Lucius Gantt President Donald Trump loves to attack Hispanics. He hits them with verbal attacks, calling them rapists and killers, and he is now literally attacking Venezuelan fishermen in international waters and falsely accusing row boats of being drug delivery vessels.

Return of the Atlanta Crackers

By Lucius Gantt Once upon a time, I dreamed I would be a baseball player. I would walk from my Fourth Ward house on Angier Avenue to Ponce De Leon Park to watch the Atlanta Crackers play baseball.

There will be many Black Americans running for office, but most Blacks will continue to be running for their lives! Let me go back a few centuries.

Peace Or Piece

By Lucius Gantt The United States President was recently smiling like the fox in the Israeli hen house, after he suggested that his "peace plan" would resolve a dispute that has lasted over a century.
