People in charge of them should be made personally liable.
Makes sense to me. If you’re going to deprive someone of their right to self defense, it should be your responsibility to make it actually safe, not just put up a sign.

How The Russian Witch Hunt Started
A long read, but why Trump has Ukraine on the brain.
[Update a few minutes later]
Mr. Trump goes to Washington.
[Update a few more minutes later]
The IG report on FISA abuse will be out on Friday, and someone needs to put Adam Schiff under oath.
[Update a while later]
The pre-impeachment of Donald Trump never stopped.
[Noon update]
The curious case of the incurious press.
Adam Schiff
Was this the last straw?
There doesn’t ever seem to be a last straw with these swamp creatures. And Congresspeople can’t be impeached, but they can be expelled. If the Republicans retake the House, that should be one of their first orders of business.
A Maoist Struggle Session
Over climate. At the University of Washington.
This should be a big story, or they won’t stop. Presumably, that department head would claim to be a climate scientist, but he’s not any kind of scientist.
Space Nuclear Reactors
I’m not sure this is as big a proliferation concern as some say, but I have no idea where they get this “20% of all launches have failures” thing. That’s not true in general, and its far from true for U.S. systems.
Elizabeth Warren
…and her anti-corporate fixation.
She reminds me of Woodrow Wilson, without the virulent racism.
The fact that Wall Street is saying that they won’t support her, and might even support Trump, is amusing in the context of the popular myth that the rich are Republicans.
Lawsuit Update
We thought we were going to hear next week if SCOTUS would grant our petition for certiori, but just heard that they’ve delayed it to the next conference on October 11. Apparently at least one justice is interested, but we can’t know if that’s because they want to move it to a less-crowded conference than next week’s for fuller discussion, or because they know they’ll turn it down, but want to write a dissent.
The “Whistleblower”
As I’m listening to the current idiocy on the Hill, some thoughts from a former CIA analyst and staffer.
This reminds me of Democrat sandbagging with the Blasey Ford situation.
[Update a few minutes later]
The “Whistleblower Report” follows the same template as the Steele “Dossier.”
Yes, there seems to be a lot of circular reporting to make it appear that there is more corroboration than there actually is.
[Update a few minutes later]
Adam Schiff makes up his own version of the phone call. Schiff is a clown, who shouldn’t be in Congress, let alone a committee chairman.
[Update a couple minutes later]
I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I am to learn that the “whistleblower” had a bias toward a rival candidate to Trump.
The Kavanaugh “scandal”
The other victim.
She’s lucky she wasn’t called a nut and a slut, as they were going to do with Lewinsky.
The asymmetry here is striking with these horrible people. In the case of Clinton, they were pressuring women to lie to protect a rapist. In this case, they pressured a woman to lie to falsely accuse a good man of being a rapist. In both cases, these people who (in some cases are the same people) hold themselves up as righteous paragons of virtue, though they are in fact monsters seeking nothing but power.
The Ukraine Hysteria
Like “Russian collusion,” (and like almost everything the Left accuses others of), it’s pure projection on the part of the Democrats.
[Update a while later]
Why the Democrats are going insane.
