The Aiken Standard marks its founding in 1867. Publisher Rhonda Overbey, Executive Editor Michael Smith, and News Editor Holly Kemp lead the masthead. The Thought of the Day offers a poetic reflection from Everett Dirksen.
The editorial notes growing calls for a public vote on the Aiken Renaissance project while praising the forum crowd. It contrasts with North Augusta's Project Jackson referendum battle and argues advisory referendums can gauge opinion without binding effects. It stresses civility and equal consideration of all views.

The letter discusses Haidt’s Moral Foundations, fiscal policy under FDR and Obama, immigration, Comey leaks, and the Electoral College, concluding with a call to view America as a nation of laws.

The columnist argues voter reactions to Trump split along supporter and opponent lines, notes his age and conduct, cites alleged foreign influence probes, and compares contemporary political division to the Genesis Babel story guiding obedience to God.
