Sacred Sacrifices - Ep 26-246

Is anything sacred for Democrats when it comes to helping citizens. The short version is this: federal agents raided the home and office of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and multiple reports indicate the investigation is tied to LAUSD's failed AI chatbot project called "Ed," which was developed through a multimillion-dollar contract with the education technology company AllHere. Carvalho has not been charged with any crime, and the FBI has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation. What happened? On February 25, 2026, the FBI executed search warrants at: * Carvalho's home in Los Angeles * LAUSD headquarters * A Florida residence connected to education consultant Debra Kerr, who had ties to AllHere and Carvalho dating back to his time in Miami-Dade schools. Two days later, the LAUSD Board placed Carvalho on paid leave. On June 21, 2026, Carvalho resigned as superintendent, though he continued to deny wrongdoing. Authorities still have not announced any charges against him. What was the chatbot controversy? The controversy centers on an AI assistant called "Ed." LAUSD unveiled Ed in 2024 with considerable publicity. The chatbot was marketed as a personalized digital assistant for students and parents that could: * Track grades and attendance * Provide academic recommendations * Translate communications into roughly 100 languages * Help families navigate school services Carvalho championed the project as a major innovation for the district. The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch. Why did it become a scandal? Several issues emerged: 1. The company imploded. Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted. AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded. Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced. After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything? Not publicly. That distinction is important. The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today: * Carvalho has not been charged. * Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. * The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. * His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor. Why this became a political story The optics are terrible for LAUSD.

Problem Child - Ep 26-245

Welcome, folks! I've got good news for conservatives today. Conservatism is back. Not sneaking through the back door. Not hiding in the bushes wearing a fake mustache. I'm talking about kicking the front door open, flipping on the lights, and discovering that half the country was afraid of the dark for no reason. Consider what happened after Team USA beat Australia 2-0. The players stopped and prayed. Remember when they told us faith was finished? Remember when the experts assured us religion would be replaced by social media influencers and emotional support llamas? Instead, Team USA wins, prays, and much of the world cheers America. Imagine that. The same people who spent years telling us America was the villain suddenly found themselves singing our National Anthem. It's almost like people secretly prefer confidence over self-loathing. Meanwhile, down in Colombia, voters just handed socialism another eviction notice. Socialism has become the world's longest-running infomercial. Every season starts with promises of equality and ends with somebody standing in line for toilet paper wondering where all the economists disappeared. The Left keeps treating socialism like that ex who emptied your bank account. "This time it'll be different." Sure. And this time the raccoon won't get into the bird feeder. Speaking of things not working out, let's travel to New York, where a Pride organization announced it's dissolving after its drag queen founder was arrested on child pornography charges. Now before anybody starts hyperventilating, the point isn't that one criminal represents everyone. The point is how quickly the media's curiosity evaporates when a story points in the wrong ideological direction. These are the same people who can spot systemic injustice from orbit but suddenly develop cataracts when an uncomfortable headline appears. Then there's Los Angeles. Federal agents reportedly descended on Skid Row investigating allegations tied to voter registration fraud. Think about the symbolism. California spent years telling us voter fraud was rarer than a unicorn riding a bicycle. Then investigators show up on Skid Row like they're filming a crossover episode between Law & Order and The Walking Dead. You know what's remarkable? California will allegedly investigate whether you're sufficiently gay to qualify for certain diversity contracting programs. California businesses have to go through a “gay-certification [https://www.city-journal.org/article/california-gay-business-contracts-utilities]” process to receive special contracts meant for gay-owned companies, Christopher Rufo of City Journal reported Tuesday. If these business owners fail to sufficiently prove their claimed gayness, they may face up to a year in jail, while California’s vetting process for voters is practically nonexistent. That's right.

Exhausted Democrats - Ep 26-244

Father’s Day. What happens when credibility becomes a commodity? When narratives matter more than facts? When the referees start betting on the game? Because that's where we seem to be. Source: Washington Free Beacon [https://freebeacon.com/media/a-media-watchdog-is-helping-to-train-ai-models-it-says-chinese-propaganda-is-more-reliable-than-many-american-news-sources/] [X] SB – John Stossel on media suck-ups Obama’s Library Opens to the Sound of America Shrugging The most remarkable thing about the opening of Barack Obama’s presidential library wasn't who showed up. It was who didn't. Nobody. Not literally, of course. The television cameras found enough dignitaries, donors, former staffers, and professional applauders to fill the frame. But for a man once marketed as a political messiah, the public response resembled the grand opening of a new Department of Motor Vehicles. No protests. No celebrations. No national conversation. Just a collective shrug from a country that looked at the event and decided to reorganize its garage instead. The media desperately tried to present the ceremony as a historic moment. Yet something felt off from the beginning. It was as if everyone involved understood they were participating in a reunion tour for a band whose biggest hits came twenty years ago. And then Joe Biden arrived. Watching Biden at these events has become a uniquely American experience. It's like watching a tourist wander into the wrong wedding reception and decide to stay because the food looks good. At one point, Biden appeared to be searching for his granddaughter on stage. This is no longer surprising. Biden's public appearances increasingly resemble scavenger hunts conducted without clues. Somewhere in the middle of this search party, Barack Obama managed to perform his favorite political magic trick. He made Biden disappear. Again.

Changing World - Ep 26-243

Welcome, folks, to The Kevin Jackson Show! First, let me start with gratitude. Happy Father’s Day I put out few tweets that I would like to share with you. Happy Father's Day to conservative dads. Somewhere a progressive woman is posting, "My dad is my hero," right before explaining why men are the problem. Holy Mother of Hunter, whatever else you say about Trump, at least he knows how many children he has and he accepted them all. Because "safe spaces" rarely stop an intruder, but a good father always will. America's world's most criticized demographic and its most relied-upon one. What a coincidence. For one glorious day, the war on men pauses for cake. My birthday was on Sunday as well, and thanks to those who sent well-wishes. Thank you to everybody who sent birthday cards, gifts, well wishes, and contributions to what I now lovingly refer to as "Operation Costa Rica." Based on the current balance, I believe I can spend approximately three days there, consume several meals, enjoy a few adult beverages, and possibly stand near a golf course. Actually playing golf may require a supplemental appropriations bill. But seriously, thank you. Melissa got me one of those see-through travel fund banks a few months ago, and I can literally watch the money accumulate. It's like a conservative version of a Democrat budget. The difference is my jar actually contains money. And I will tell you this. Every time I look at it, I'm humbled. I really am. Now... Thank you also for not celebrating Juneteenth. I know that sounds harsh, but hear me out. America already has a holiday dedicated to liberty. It's called Independence Day. We don't need a committee meeting for freedom. We don't need Liberty 2.0. We don't need Freedom: The Sequel. July 4th already covers the subject matter. The Left has become obsessed with creating boutique holidays the way Starbucks creates seasonal drinks. Every historical footnote gets its own observance, awareness campaign, commemorative T-shirt, and eventually a federal employee day off. Pretty soon we'll have National Day of Recognizing the Committee That Planned the Meeting About the Event We Already Celebrated. Meanwhile, the rest of us are waiting for fireworks and barbecue. Speaking of fireworks... We've got a full plate of crow to serve today. And Democrats are once again seated at the head table. Last week Barack Obama officially opened his presidential library. Now, Democrats treated this thing like archaeologists had discovered King Tut's tomb. The media acted as though civilization itself had reached a new milestone. I watched the coverage and thought, "Did I miss something?" Because from where I sit, this felt less like the unveiling of a monument and more like the grand opening of a very expensive explanation. Think about it. The Obama presidency generated so much mythology that eventually they needed a building to store it all. And the event itself had all the cultural impact of finding out what happened to Jesse Jackson. In fact, quick question: Where were you when Jesse Jackson's political relevance was buried? Exactly. Neither do I. The media keeps trying to manufacture nostalgia for things the public already moved on from. It's like watching somebody hold a high school reunion for a graduating class that never actually liked each other. We'll get into that story because there were moments at that event that were so awkward they deserve their own documentary. Then there's Jeff Bezos. And ladies and gentlemen, we may have witnessed something rare. A billionaire experiencing reality. Bezos apparently decided to say something that employees at the Washington Post did not want to hear: See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

Trump Works the Left - Weekend Recap 06-21-26

Another segment where I show you Leftism at work, which means it fails. That was a trick. Leftists don’t work, Silly! Leftism is LA-ZY! Trump is the KING of workarounds. Democrats try their skullduggery, and Trump kick ‘em where it hurts. How frustrating it is for Democrats to try so hard to stop Trump and he just gets more powerful! I see why they are INSANE and want to attack anything MAGA. Have you seen MAGA people fighting back? Literally knocking Leftists out. ALL OVER THE WORLD. The world is getting Trumpified! The Iran deal was struck. Will it last. If it doesn’t, then Iran will have HELL to pay. Trump is not playing around. Democrats claimed that Trump gave into Iranian demands. Sure he did. We can believe tha. That information is as reliable as we didn’t fund gain of function.  Because how all winners work. They get you by the yin/yang then GIVE UP And why wouldn’t Trump give up. Iran has no navy, air force. Buckle up, because today we’re diving headfirst into the geopolitical equivalent of watching a bully pick a fight with the wrong guy… then spend the next round begging for his mommy while his wallet’s on fire. Iran’s out here sending more mixed signals than a Tinder date who can’t decide if she’s ghosting you or proposing marriage. One minute they’re chest-thumping about their mighty empire, the next they’re quietly hoping Trump doesn’t notice them long enough to reload. I don’t lose sleep over their leadership vacuum—seems like they’ve got about as much coherent direction as a room full of cats chasing laser pointers. But here’s what I do know: you keep poking the guy who wrote the modern playbook on “maximum pressure,” and eventually you’re not getting a sternly worded letter. You’re getting precision-guided consequences. And let me tell you, the precision has been surgical. While the usual chorus of cable news geniuses and Leftist foreign policy “experts” were busy declaring Trump’s strategy a disaster, he was busy turning Iran’s economy into a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about messing with American interests.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
