Yeah, this is standard practice pretty much nationwide.

CAMPAIGN AUTOPSY? James Carville gave Democrats the only one they needed.

The ongoing furor about the Democratic National Committee’s deeply flawed and incomplete autopsy of the 2024 presidential election has been misplaced. Democrats already had an autopsy report — one delivered in pithy if brutal fashion not long after the election.

That autopsy was provided by the crusty Democrat strategist, James Carville, who in late January 2025 likened the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris to a “seventh-string quarterback” playing in the Super Bowl.

“Now that’s what happened, okay?” Carville declared in an appearance on PBS “Firing Line.” “You can’t address a problem unless you’re honest about a problem.”

Of course, Carville neglected to mention that he had predicted a Harris victory. In fact, he  said in August 2024 that it was more likely Harris would win by 5 points than that Trump would win by 1.5 points. The latter is what actually what ended up happening, and of course, Trump carried the Electoral College, 312 to 226.

Even so, Carville’s “seventh-string quarterback” post-mortem, unsparing as it was, possesses considerable explanatory power. It was a moment of analytical clarity, a metaphor for the many mistakes and clumsiness that hobbled Harris’s campaign. It also stands as a relevant lesson for Democrats in choosing a presidential candidate in 2028 — a race in which Harris, according to some recent polls, is the frontrunner.

But probably not for long. Just ask former Presidents Howard Dean and Rudy Giuliani.

JOANNE JACOBS: Too much ‘adult supremacy’ at school? Or not enough?

I am an adultist, and proud of it. Now that I know there is such a thing.

San Francisco teachers were urged to resist “adult supremacy” at a weekend workshop sponsored by Teachers4SocialJustice, reports Annie Gaus in the California Post. “Youth as Knowledge Producers: Challenging Adult Supremacy Through Ethnic Studies” was part of an “Ethnic Studies Everywhere” conference.

Teachers who chose to attend learned that “the relationship between students and educators is an oppressive one,” as a slide explained. Adult supremacy “constructs adults as developed, mature, intelligent, and experienced, based solely on their age and ensures that adults control the resources and make the decisions in society.”

Somebody has to be the grownup, as my wife likes to say.

BETTER DEAD THAN RUDE: “I Was Sacked From Police for Questioning Islam.”

A Christian police support officer was sacked after he asked questions about Islam in a diversity training session. The Telegraph has the story.

Luke Salmons lost his job as a police community support officer (PCSO) with the North Yorkshire force and was barred from policing after a conversation about Gaza with a Muslim officer.

He later won an appeal against his dismissal but has never received an apology from the force where he said a “culture of fear” existed among officers who were terrified of being fired for saying the wrong thing.

Salmons, 46, told the Telegraph that a training day on race, religion and culture turned into an “indoctrination” session as trainers chanted “Islam is a religion of peace” and discussed white privilege.

Having been encouraged to ask questions in what staff were told was a safe space, he asked a Muslim officer about his views on terrorist attacks by Islamist groups including Hamas. The officer happily discussed the issue with him and invited him to chat further over coffee after the session.

But within two days he had been suspended for gross misconduct by an inspector who told him: “I don’t like your beliefs.”

Salmons told the Telegraph: “I loved my job and I was good at it. I was well respected as a PCSO and my colleagues said they loved working with me and couldn’t understand what was happening.

“But an overzealous inspector took against me and that was the end of my career, even though I had done nothing wrong.”

On Thursday, the Telegraph reported how police officers in the force that failed Henry Nowak felt “controlled and pressured” during diversity training.
