Why the Bill of Rights matters: Protecting America’s fundamental freedoms 10.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Let’s start with the idea that religious thoughts cannot influence government. It’s the idea that the government cannot establish an official state religion. Earliest Americans had largely fled Europe due to the fact that they had refused to worship at the state church and had experienced much persecution for that...

Can Conservatives win the messaging battle over the Democratic Socialists? 09.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The divide is clear with the growing prominence of the Democratic Socialists of America. We wish the Republicans would be more direct in pointing out this group's failures in never delivering on their promises. Look at New York City under Mamdani. Is this city prospering or sinking? Look at the results. Perhaps the Republicans hire Spencer Pratt to...

What makes America worth celebrating? 08.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Shall we look at ways we can count our blessings? Air Conditioning, running clean water, and toilets that flush, to name a few. Don’t laugh. Many people in the world do not have these advantages. We talk about rebels in the music industry who don’t want to sign on with big labels and cede control over the music they create...

Why local elections, school boards, and parents matter 07.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – Pastor Whitney and Pastor Pete discuss election counting, Supreme Court authority, constitutional checks and balances, and concerns over public education.

President George Washington’s farewell warning rings true today 04.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – George Washington’s Farewell Address echoes with urgent relevance as America celebrates its 250th anniversary. His warnings call citizens to cherish liberty, uphold the Constitution, remain united, practice virtue, and remember the sacrifices that secured freedom. Washington’s vision still challenges the nation to protect its...

Exploring the Declaration of Independence with Pastor David Whitney 03.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – Do you know the five essential foundational beliefs expressed in the opening paragraphs of the Declaration and their relevance to our day? Did you know we separated from Great Britain for many more reasons than taxation without representation? Did you know that John Adams believed that July 2nd would be the date of...

The case is far from settled when discussing ‘evolution vs. creation’ 02.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Too many in Christian circles have adopted an evolutionary belief system or are attempting to mix creation with evolution. It simply comes down to believing all of the Bible. Taking God at His word and knowing that an all-powerful God is capable of speaking the world and everything within into existence...

Why I became an ex-trans 01.07.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – I was sexually abused from a very young age. I became a sex addict before I even hit puberty. I also suffered from gender confusion because of the abuse. I was the suicidal trans kid who was always brought up in the debates and discussions meant to promote the Trans/Queer agenda. I overdosed at age 13 in trying to end my misery...

How faith, liberty, and self-government shaped a nation 30.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – After a long struggle, America won its freedom, but now it had to establish a new government! Some of the injustices and abuses occurred with gross taxation via the Stamp Act, the Sugar Act, and other such taxes. Clearly, these subjects are not represented in Parliament. Are they viewed strictly as a means to fuel the war...

Why America’s founders chose government by the people 27.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Liberty is for the disciplined and alert, involved citizen. Contrast that with those who think Marxism is cool. Some people choose to believe you can get something for nothing, with no strings attached. The last thing the politicians who push that want is people who think and ask questions. What we should be asking is who pays for the free stuff?

The cost of disagreeing during Pride Month 26.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – A couple of baseball players on the San Francisco Giants refused to comply with a mandate to wear rainbow caps. One player wore it and put on it Genesis 9:12-16 on his cap. It should also be noted that these players did not denigrate the gay community. They simply want their beliefs respected as the gay community seeks the same...

California’s RAVBM system, mail-in ballots & ongoing debate 25.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The voter marks selections on a computer, prints them at home, and returns them for processing. By law, everyone and anybody can use this to vote. This means cheating gets easier and easier. In addition, mail-in ballots are still being sent out. How many ways are there to cheat? Watch California, as it seems to be setting the standard...

The new axis of power? Putin, Xi, Kim, and the challenge to the West 24.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – What are the economic, military, and geopolitical implications for the Trump administration's foreign policy agenda? qConsider that Asia accounts for half of the world’s GDP. Bill Walton is a former Chairman and CEO of a $10 billion NYSE-traded investment company, a successful inventor, and a renaissance man who joins us to discuss what...

Five years later, the official narrative of J6 is coming apart 23.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Pelosi admits the National Guard should have been there. There were 247 FBI agents there, and they described themselves as “pawns.” Documents that would exonerate are still being withheld. Rep. Loudermilk found that over 100 encrypted messages were deleted before Republicans took the House majority in 2023. A judge has ruled that...

USMCA at a crossroads: Alejandro Martinez Araiza’s vision for a win-win North America 20.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – As the USA, Mexico, and Canada appear poised to miss the July 1 deadline tied to key USMCA review and implementation issues, concerns are growing over renewed trade tensions, supply chain uncertainty, labor disputes, and the future of North American economic cooperation...

A Constitutional Republic cannot survive if its people sleepwalk into digital servitude 19.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – China has already shown the shape of this future. Social credit systems, digital payments, and algorithmic controls have turned ordinary life into a monitored corridor. The danger is not that America might become like that someday. The danger is that the machinery is already here, only wrapped in friendlier language. If a citizen cannot freely....

What’s the real focus behind America’s 250th anniversary? 18.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The idea that people could worship God according to their understanding of Scripture, their conscience, was unheard of. For those people who clung to their religious beliefs, the result was often death. And that came via being burned at the stake, beheadings, drownings, and other torture. Research the Grand Inquisition...

Political discourse and the liberty tyranny split 17.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The socialists who hold office create problems and then offer solutions that ultimately give the government more power over their lives. Look at history, which has NEVER worked out well for the everyday person. A dependent people is a weak people, and TYRANTS love a weak people. Great Britain gave up its right to bear arms in 1997...

The debate over hate group designations and controversy behind SPLC 16.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The SPLC has slandered and mislabeled many conservative organizations. The Coral Ridge Ministries has been labeled a hate group by them simply because they disagree with the LGBT agenda. In their early history, the SPLC served a needed purpose. That purpose no longer exists, and now they are supported by leftist organizations largely to...

The quiet crisis in self-government and the case for local civic action 13.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – This is a spiritual and civic fight. Prayer matters. So does careful study and steady action. Refuse despair. Teach your children the principles that created liberty. The republic is recoverable when enough citizens learn, petition, and persist for the next generation. Take up the work at the local level today and refuse to hand our posterity.....

Why small businesses and women entrepreneurs are losing out on federal contracts 12.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – It turns out that a large portion of the money earmarked for small businesses ends up going to big businesses. One of the biggest reasons is the red tape and the time it takes to cut through that red tape. Many small businesses do not have the manpower and time to go through the burdensome process of applying for help...

Price gouging or manipulation between government and private sector 11.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The federal government alleged its practices allowed chicken, pork, and turkey processors to increase prices they charged restaurants, grocery stores, and other buyers by not allowing them to see their costs. We need to go back to the Biden Presidency to see where this too-close relationship with business and government really accelerated...

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Jarred is a New Jersey parent and advocate who, in January 2026, won a landmark settlement against the Berkeley Heights Board of Education after the district was forced to formally acknowledge that his 2022 warnings about violence at the school were accurate.

What can citizens do to protect election integrity? 06.06.2026

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – Can we trust the process as it is currently structured? What do we know about the machines used to record citizens’ votes?
