With much of traffic still blocked east of I-95, the Georgia Ports authority is preparing to restore service within the ports. Reading between the lines, it appears container service at the Port of Savannah’s Garden City Terminal will resume most quickly.

Georgia Association of College Republicans Chairman Brennan Mancil is apparently the first member of the Georgia Republican Party Executive Committee to publicly state that he will not support Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee. Mancil’s disavowal of Trump came after a video surfaced in which the candidate described in graphic terms an attempt to

Last night, UGA’s College Republicans and Young Democrats faced off in the annual rendition of The Great Debate, an event where each organization argues its party’s platform in front of a student audience.
