February 28, 1991 - In Desert Storm, the 100-hour ground war ended as Allied troops entered Kuwait just four days after launching their offensive against Saddam Hussein`s Iraqi forces.
Pennsylvanians are tired of spin. They want answers.
Under Josh Shapiro, serious questions continue to surface:
• A rapidly expanding state budget while families struggle with rising costs
• High-profile political lawsuits that dominate headlines
• Major out-of-state donor influence raising eyebrows
• Ongoing public controversies over property disputes
• And continued calls for transparency surrounding the handling of the Ellen Greenberg case during his time as Attorney General
These are not partisan talking points. They are accountability issues.
When electric bills are high, groceries cost more, and working families feel squeezed, leadership should be focused on relief — not political battles or damage control.
Pennsylvania deserves transparency.
Pennsylvania deserves priorities that put people first.
Pennsylvania deserves answers.

Honored to stand alongside Representative Chad Reichard and many others to recognize and commend Trooper Thomas Pack and Trooper Lucas Amarose of the Pennsylvania State Police for their extraordinary bravery and exemplary service to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We also proudly recognized Dr. Vincent J. Barnhart for his selfless and lifesaving actions during this same incident.
On October 8, 2025, Troopers Pack and Amarose were seriously wounded in the line of duty while responding to a criminal incident in Franklin County that escalated into a violent armed confrontation near Chambersburg. Despite suffering gunshot wounds, both troopers showed extraordinary courage, continuing to act decisively to protect others under life-threatening conditions.
In the immediate aftermath, Dr. Vincent J. Barnhart—an Army veteran and WellSpan Health physician—rushed to the scene and voluntarily provided critical, lifesaving medical care. True heroes in action.
Grateful for the courage and dedication of these heroes who go above and beyond to protect and serve our communities. Thank you for all that you do!
35 years ago today Feb 27, 1991 Remembering and honoring SPC Andy Alaniz and PFC John “Wes” Hutto KIA during the battle of Jalibah Airfield in Iraq. 3/15th Infantry Battalion, 24th Infantry Division.
This photo taken that tragic morning on the evac helicopter was on the front page of nearly every newspaper and magazine and was taken by David Turnley. Andy’s body is in the body bag to the right. Today, it seems fitting as we remember and honor our Fallen heroes.

Pennsylvanians are struggling — and they know it.
While families fight rising taxes, utility bills, and grocery costs, the focus seems to be on bigger spending, political battles, donor headlines, and self-promotion.
That’s not what leadership looks like.
The priority should be lowering costs, protecting property rights, and putting Pennsylvania families first — not expanding budgets and chasing headlines.
It’s time to get back to basics.
Put the people first.
