Publisher Rhonda Overbey and executives Michael Smith Holly Kemp lead the Aiken Standard as the historic paper marks its founding year 1867. Thought of the Day quotes Friedrich Durrenmatt on the power of facts over news.
The piece notes the 2016 election’s focus on personality over policy and credits Donald Trump’s anti trade message with key state results. It cautions against protectionism, urges a path to legal status for undocumented workers, and asks for careful scrutiny of his foreign policy and entitlement costs while welcoming a presidential transition.
Columnist argues the USA drifts from its core ideals of freedom, morality, and religious principle. He cites Reagan and Washington, laments secular policy shifts, prayer removal, abortion, and rising debt. Star Parker of CURE urges turning to God for freedom, citing Gallup dissatisfaction and demographic changes.
The piece contrasts The Alley renovation with broader town plans and questions who should lead future projects in downtown Aiken. It then pivots to a February 2017 discussion of Donald Trump’s tax, debt, and energy positions, aiming to explain rising deficits and policy options.
