Trump’s victory was historic — meaning it’s important and worth studying. The unfortunate reality is that in today’s America, any Republican win in a swing state or district is actually historic. However, Trump’s victory is in a “super-historic” category. With all the post-election debate over why he won, too many […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: Why Americans are called to give thanks
Unity of purpose. Humility before God. Gratitude for what we have been given. Giving thanks. We are called to give thanks for our great, blessed, albeit imperfect nation. I join Washington, Lincoln, and others in giving my thanks to God. No, this isn’t a history lesson. Nor is my purpose […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: Democrats’ election-denial in Pennsylvania is the opening salvo of the 2026 campaign
Tragically, Bob Casey’s career will be remembered as that of just another Democrat partisan politician so addicted to power and blindly loyal to his party that he destroyed his “moderate, bipartisan” veil. He’s been a candidate since 1994. He knows that he can not win. Yet, he continues to allow […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: McCormick is the leader Pennsylvania needs
The first time I met Dave McCormick was at a picnic in Downingtown in 2022. He arrived with his wife, Dina, and they were dressed in campaign casual attire. After some handshakes and smiles, he worked his way over to the food set up on picnic tables. He quickly grabbed […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: Columns unwritten and ongoing issues for 2025
In this fast-paced, ever-changing election, with switching candidates, changing themes, fact-checkers who don’t really fact-check, world-events, rallies, fake news and fake transcripts, McDonald’s and garbage trucks…there are understandably columns that I didn’t get to finish. Notes on paper and my iPad, scribbled on the back on fliers, pizza boxes, and […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: Trump didn’t start the fire. He’s the fireman.
Former President Donald Trump. Maybe you like him, maybe you don’t. Of all the attacks on Trump, the line of attack that is most bizarre, backward, and most disconnected from reality is that he’s the cause of America’s tension, chaos and division. That’s like blaming the firemen rushing to the […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: What happened to all the joy?
Out of nowhere, Kamala Harris’s campaign was suddenly about “joy.” Until it wasn’t. Now it’s a campaign to stop the “fascist.” Wow! That was fast. Maybe now it’s easy to understand. The word salads. The staged “town halls” with no real, live questions. “Shopping” in convenience stores with no customers. […]
Guy Ciarrocchi: Why does Kamala prefer suburban voters to Philadelphians?
Less than two weeks and even Democrats are complaining.

Guy Ciarrocchi: The case for in-person ‘mail-in’ voting
No, it’s not an oxymoron — it’s Pennsylvania.

Guy Ciarrocchi: The kids are not all right
Our children’s test scores are down. They haven’t even reached pre-Covid levels, which wasn’t anything to brag about then. And the students are more anxious than ever. Pick your benchmark. Pick your trend line. Pick your anecdote. Our kids are in trouble, and so our nation’s future is in trouble. […]
