The Aiken Standard traces its 1867 founding with publisher Ellen Priest and editors Michael Smith and Holly Ellington. Thought of the Day quotes Lord Acton from 1887 noting power’s corrupting influence.
The column examines how Republicans led by Speaker Paul Ryan face a contentious budget debate amid party divisions over spending and a broader presidential election year. It notes Democratic criticism of restraint on Social Security and Medicare, warns the national debt has surged from 5.7 to 19 trillion dollars, and urges bipartisan action to avoid ongoing financial risk.
Columnist Eugene Robinson analyzes the 2016 Democratic race led by Hillary Clinton with Bernie Sanders still contesting. He notes Clinton’s delegate lead, Sanders’ regional gains, and the precarious path to the nomination, while weighing Republican weakness and the looming general election stakes.
Karl Bankert of Aiken questions how to define a true conservative through issue boxes. The letter weighs defense spending border security citizenship, taxes, healthcare, space funding, and term limits, then argues MOX project completion vs shutdown and criticizes Obama administration influence on project decisions amid long, costly future trajectories.
