January 20, 2017 By steven-j-gulitti

Many years ago I was an enlisted man in the United States Coast Guard Reserve, often underway in the nearby North Atlantic, conducting fisheries patrols. When a change of course was required in rough seas the bridge would pipe the following … [Read more...]

It’s not really about Trump, Part 2

January 13, 2017 By jonsax

People both hope for and worry about impeaching Trump and then being left with Pence. I'm not so worried by Pence. He plays by rules we know and know how to fight. And he's about as charismatic as a piece of plywood. A McConnell/Ryan/Pence … [Read more...]

November 1, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti

In what is shaping up to be a year of setbacks for the Republican Party's far right, last Friday's budget deal can only be seen as yet another defeat. Senator Ted Cruz labeled the deal “a slap in the face to conservatives.” … [Read more...]

Miraculously the Republicans Rediscover the Average American

February 1, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti

A Solidly Republican House Crashes Down on Grover Norquist

January 3, 2013 By steven-j-gulitti

At this point all I can do is laugh when I think about how some of my friends on the far right were naive as to think that sensible Republicans in Congress had failed to heed the message of the 2012 election and the current political … [Read more...]

True Republican Mavericks

April 26, 2012 By steven-j-gulitti

Ms. Bachmann a Migraine Headache for the G.O.P.?

July 22, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti

The Looming Compromise on Revenues

The Tea Party and the G.O.P.: The First Fissures?

November 5, 2010 By steven-j-gulitti

I recently wrote that I believe a number of unavoidable "train wrecks" will occur between the Tea Party and the Republican Party. When it comes to these "train wrecks" it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. The first of these are … [Read more...]

Juanita Frauddrick a sick #pathetic joke #Juanita is envious of Nancy, makes her infamy on smearing a great president like #BillClinton @CommunityMedia3 @medfordmedia #mapoli and is someone desperately in need of @JennyCraigAusNZ #JennyCraig #JuanitaBroadDRICK Expired 15 min fame

Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut

Oh give me a fucking break. You are one of the biggest crooks in Congress with your insider trading. And that drunk you’re married to should be in jail for all the DUI’s and wrecks he has caused. You’re not out of the woods yet, on your J6 scam, either. https://twitter.com/speakerpelosi/status/1637153439367962625

Jackson, Mississippi is nearly 90% Black.
Very expensive to replace city water pipes.
But It would only cost a fraction of the money Democrats have given to Ukraine.
