One thing I’ve been thinking about is taking the social issues out of national politics. For example, if Georgia wanted abortion and Alabama didn’t, that’s going to be up to the people in Georgia. I can’t sway them. Would I give them advice not to? Absolutely. Would I say it’s wrong? Yes.
Throughout my campaign for Congress, I promised the people of Northwest Georgia that I would be the strongest defender of gun rights on Capitol Hill.
I grew up eating quite well, even though the idea has got around that my family were terribly poor in Communist Georgia. I think it’s partly because we had different standards then – it was tough, but we never truly struggled for food.
The post-Cold War order in Europe is finished, with Vladimir Putin its executioner. Russia’s invasion of Georgia only marked its passing. Russia has emerged as a born-again 19th-century power determined to challenge the intellectual, moral and institutional foundations of the order.
I worked my way up in the private sector and implemented Georgia’s tough voter ID law.
Baseball is a tongue-tied kid from Georgia growing up to be an announcer and praising the Lord for showing him the way to Cooperstown. This is a game for America. Still a game for America, this baseball!
I think it’s important that we put forward legislation that’s going to create jobs and strengthen the Georgia economy, which is why I’ve fought for rural broadband, both accessibility and affordability.
I tell people I live in Atlanta. Georgia’s outside of Atlanta, absolutely. But my family’s from the very rural south. My family’s from Tuskegee, Alabama. And they’re from Eatonton, Georgia. Places like Greenwood, Georgia, my family is from… so I’ve seen it both ways.
In the younger days of the Republic there lived in the county of – two men, who were admitted on all hands to be the very best men In the county; which, in the Georgia vocabulary, means they could flog any other two men in the county.
Coming from the south side of Atlanta, Georgia, everyone has a chip on their shoulder. That’s how competitive it is. It makes athletes great who come from there.
The biggest difference between L.A. and my hometown in Georgia is when Georgia goes to sleep, L.A. wakes up. So, like, in LaGrange, when people are going to sleep at 10, 11 to get up in the morning, we’re just getting dressed to go out.
Restricting access to the ballot is not good for Georgia and it’s certainly not good for Georgia business.

I studied opera for a year at Georgia State University, but I wasn’t interested in that meticulous, technical approach to music. So I left school and went back to jazz.
My parents live out in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of this peach orchard. It’s actually Peach County, one of the largest peach-growing counties in Georgia. It’s very rural, and there is nothing much going on, so I guess that’s had a big influence on everything as far as just not having much to do.
Dave Taylor, who was my tag partner in WWE, had a wrestling school close to where we both lived in Georgia for a while.
The problem in Pankisi is an extension of broader problems throughout Georgia. The whole system is based on shady deals. The entire government is corrupt.

I haven’t run across anyone in Georgia who is not regretful and repentant of man’s inhumanity when you talk about owning one another.
I did a tandem parachute jump when I opened a golf course in Atlanta, Georgia. I jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet to land on the first tee, and then I played a couple of holes with golfer Arnold Palmer. That was brilliant.
Well, killing me makes no sense because Georgia already has a Western-educated political class.
I grew up in a small town in Georgia where nothing bad happened – it was like Mayberry.
It doesn’t change whether it’s Georgia, Clemson or Florida or Tennessee. You have to fight out there on the recruiting trail every day. And recruiting’s a lot like shaving: If you don’t do it every day, you start looking like a bum.
I’m old school. We’re from a small town in Georgia, and I think if we do pictures before the wedding, I think I’m gonna be blindfolded.
I was a referee in TCW in Carrollton, Georgia, doing Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, and it was 1,000 degrees in there, and it was completely sold out every Friday that we ran it. That was my dad’s independent promotion.
Country music has taken so many forms, and I’ve always contended that it does not matter if the casual listener falls in love with country music through Florida Georgia Line, Taylor Swift, Old Crow Medicine Show or whomever – just get in and start digging!
I know my destiny. I was born into animosity, bigotry and hatred. We had water for white folks, and water for coloured folks. White lines, black lines. I came from Beaufort in South Carolina, and it was tougher than Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
I did not walk every step of the Trail of Tears at one time. Instead, over the last 20 years, I have walked various segments of it in Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
We must create the Georgia that our ancestors dreamed of, the Georgia that we dream of.
Georgia Tech definitely helped me a lot. I don’t know about coming out of high school. But Georgia Tech was good for me. I got a lot stronger, a lot more used to not having the ball in my hands all the time, moving without the ball, setting screens.
By fully committing to our public education system and engaging holistically from cradle to career, we can guarantee that all of our children in Georgia, no matter their needs, have the kinds of teachers and neighbors in their lives that my mother had.
I’ve come to realize how much it really was a part of my upbringing, the Georgia part. We were away from town. It was just dirt and trees and spouses. And a lot of kids – my cousins, who were all like brothers and sisters to me – just a lot of kids at one time.
Coming from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.
I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.
Kofi Kingston has always been one of my favorite opponents to wrestle. He and I started back in McDonough, Georgia in 2006 in developmental at Deep South together. So, our careers have come along at the same time. He’s incredible.
I’ve been in rivalries. Utah-BYU. Bowling Green-Toledo. Florida, we had three: Florida State, Tennessee and Georgia. You make them personal, but they’re not. I didn’t grow up disliking Georgia.
It’s interesting too, that the coach of that Georgia Tech team who led his valiant warriors to those 222 points was none other than John Heisman. Yes, he whom the Heisman trophy is named for, an award that honors that college player who best exemplifies excellence and integrity.
I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it.
I’ll be very content if I never play ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia’ again.

I believe that with the help of foreign countries – and under that condition only, because they have no other source of financing – the new government may temporarily extricate Georgia from the current situation.
A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat.
Somewhere it was written that October 18th is my birthday, and some people flew to Georgia to wish me! They came to my college, spoke to my professor, found out where I lived, and they were at my doorstep! I was shocked!
I’m just humbled Hank Aaron even knows who I am. Growing up in Georgia… he’s a legend everywhere, but even more so there.
First and foremost – our vision for a united and peaceful Georgia is based on respect for the desire – and respect for the right – to South Ossetian autonomy.
When I was out in Georgia doing photographs, I found myself trying to undo my own sense of composition. I’d think, ‘Why do I want to take it like this? Is it because I want to take a beautiful picture?’ It’s quite hard to try and undo it.
