In 1988, as [[Ronald W. Reagan]] was vacating the presidency, Gemma penned for '' [[USA Today]]'' an article about the "iron triangle"  of power and monied interests that perpetuate big government with deficit spending and higher taxes. The arrangement refers to a coalition of [[liberal]]  U.S. representative and senators, [[interest group]]s, and popular media, which usurp democratic institutions and are often called subgovernments.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.peterbgemma.com/2016/04/121588-usa-today-oped-iron-triangle-rules-washington/|title=Op/Ed: “Iron Triangle” Rules Washington|date=December 1988|publisher=''[[USA Today]]''|accessdate=May 21, 2016}}</ref> Despite Reagan's warnings, the triangle was never seriously challenged in subsequent administrations. The triangle was later called "the deep state."

In 1993, Gemma wrote for ''USA Today'' a biographical sketch of Dan Smoot, the former [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] agent and conservative scholar who had, among other aberrant positions, challenged [[Barry Goldwater]]  during the 1964 presidential campaign for the nominee's embrace of [[NATO]], which Smoot called a [[Globalism|globalist]] organization of questionable value.<ref name=dsmoot>{{cite web|url=http://www.peterbgemma.com/2014/01/dan-smoot/|title=Dan Smoot: The Man and His Message|author=Peter B.
