We teach / say to people all the time …. TRUST NO ONE!!!
Don’t (blindly) trust us, don’t trust them, don’t trust the lawyers … don’t trust ANY politicians … and for goodness sake, don’t trust the folks that cloak themselves in a blanket of “I’m a better Christian than you are!!!” That final one is particularly distasteful as it is a pervasive problem here in South Carolina, and particularly in politics … but that is a different article for a different time.
The short of the message is just don’t assume everyone is honest … VERIFY EVERYTHING and use your own logic and reason after seeking out the facts … all the facts!!!
Who’s The Guy Yelling?
I received a lot of questions after “The Sauna Meeting” (Part 1 – HERE) about “who” was that goatee guy in the back of the room yelling under his breath. I specifically remember while I walked away from the microphone once on Thursday night at our Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) special called meeting this person yelling out “where’s the budget”. Did he not just hear me say that the GCRP Budget (passed by the GCRP EC body on 3/7/2022 & again on 1/31/2023) had been emailed out to nearly 3,000 people on multiple occasions and was presented on the big screen at our business meeting … and is currently online??? That is where the budget is!!! Show us another county GOP or the SCGOP with that much transparency, it does not exist!!! (More on that later this week.)
Yes, it is high school antics to be yelling in the back of the room … it certainly is not the actions of a “journalist” … and we generally ignore these things trying to stay focused on mission … but it is also a political tactic to mislead and mentally manipulate good people.
Because of that and what has happened in other county GOPs such as in Lexington with this same blogger, folks felt it was important that we let you know what is going on, and “who” he is.
Remember … DON’T TRUST ANYONE!!!
Corey Allen Whittington:
Well for those not fixated on social media 24/7, that individual is an online blogger from the Beaufort / Charleston area (or Dillon or Aiken … we don’t know) who goes by the online name “Corey All-In” or “Corey Allen” … but his real name is Corey Allen Whittington. … and he uses a different name online for good reason. [NOTE:Generally watch out for folks that use online names “different” than their own.]
There are lots of these folks political blogger online … but we started to notice him early in the SC Superintendent of Education race when as an avowed conservative, he was apparently “shilling” for the monied special interest favorite candidate Ellen Weaver.
We asked ourselves, why in the world would a supposed far-right conservative blogger think Ellen Weaver was the “most conservative” candidate in the race??? Well, they wouldn’t … so we knew something was up.
[NOTE: We learned long ago from a political consultant that one common tactic out there is to throw a little $$$ (like $1,000) at a Facebook political “personality” and they will post & comment whatever you want them to say. Sorta like fashion influencers, just in the political social media arena. This consultant told us he would hire one in the low-county, one in the midlands, and one in the upstate … and it was the best $3,000 investment of the campaign. So, pay attention to folks that take atypical positions online … or relentlessly attack certain figures for cryptic reasons … often they are being PAID. #TrustNoONE!!!]
We also asked ourselves why in the world would Ellen Weaver, a Bob Jones University graduate, Christian conservative, running at the time Jim DeMint’s political thinktank even interview with this guy (as we had heard rumors of his background)? No way would she do such … and it was obvious that Corey Allen Whittington was her avenue into “manipulating” conservatives into thinking she was conservative herself. That seems to have proven out true as we hear a lot of conservatives having “buyers remorse” over Ellen Weaver today.

Corey’s SLED Report:
Well, it is one thing to be an online political blogger trying to make a living and willing to say whatever, for whomever … but when “good people” start believing these folks … that is a problem.
Know that it takes a certain personality type to be willing to be a grifter … or shill for the candidate with the most money … and usually you can find they have a CRIMINAL background.
So once we heard about Mr. Whittington pumping up Ellen Weaver (on 6/19/2022) … we decided a few days later to pull his SLED Report (which you can see it’s dated 6/22/2022).
BONUS PROGRAMMING NOTE: If you think this tip of the iceberg info on Mr. Whittington is bad … wait until you see the “establishment” & GOP Swept’s other front man from last Thursday night. This highly animated “Marine” is currently under TEN PENDING CRIMINAL CHARGES related to harming minors … such as …
0385-Sex / Criminal sexual conduct with minor or Attempt – victim under 11 yrs of age – First degree
It’s not pretty, so stay tuned …
We don’t really expect Mr. Whittington or others like him to wake up to their ways … or go away … this info about his criminal history is floating around out there, so people know.
But the real purpose of disclosing this more broadly … and under my name (as opposed to anonymously – remember, do NOT trust anonymous info – HERE) is so all the “fine political folks” that give the likes of this guy credibility … the Ellen Weavers of the world … or the other politicians that promote his (false) narratives … or the Pastors in Greenville … they can’t claim “I did not know.”
We have good people in Greenville … good Christian Bob Jones folks praising this guy. Mr. Whittington himself claims that DOZENS of Greenville conservatives invited him up to Greenville for this special called meeting (obviously hoping to have a fiasco … or a victory … which they got neither). IF that is true … those people need to know what they are doing, if they don’t already, and now they can’t deny it.
These folks are the ones who can no longer say “I did not know”. Corey will do what he does … it is his job … we don’t really care … but when the RINO “establishment” starts using the likes of the Corey types to promote their agenda … let’s ALL understand what is really going on.
#LearnTheirTRICKS!!!
Matthew 18: 15-17
We are also all big believers in Matthew 18: 15-17 … so when I first heard about Mr. Whittington and the fact he was bizarrely “trashing” us for some reason … I reached out to him. I left a voicemail, and have texted a few time … all to no avail.
We have seen the same thing with an alleged conservative blogger here in the upstate. They write incessantly about “Jeff Davis” and “mySCGOP” … but they never talk to us, they never ask for our side of the story … they just push their narrative.
Yes … it’s obvious!!! 😉
We interview with A LOT of reporters from local to national to international … and we are not always happy with what they write … but they at least have talked with us. When you see folks claiming to seek “the truth”, but they FLAT REFUSE to speak to all sides … they truly are not seeking truth.
Always remember … DON’T TRUST ANYONE … and maybe that is especially true for most online political bloggers.
But, People Change?
Yes, people do change … people do learn from their mistakes … and people do repent and deserve forgiveness and a 2nd chance. We believe that and we support it. We actually know some friends & others that have troubled histories … but recovered .. but we know they have a constant fight to stay straight … and they don’t expect people to blindly trust them. It is a rule of recovery.
But those people reach out (if they want truth) … and return phone calls (if they want truth) … and they don’t YELL under their breath trying to create disruption at a GCRP Special Called Business meeting just 5 days ago.
And those people usually are not 36 years old with arrest records from a few years ago … right before they got into “political blogging”.
Friends, rehabilitation takes time … we all know that. A blind squirrel can find a nut, but blindly trusting someone with a recurring and recent criminal background is not smart. And to think they are not getting “compensated” somehow … not even Joe Biden would fall for that!!! 😉
Well, on second thought, Joe might like to hire Mr. Whittington knowing his criminal background … it would be just like part of the family.
P.S. Yes, I’ll take my personal 2008 business / bank deal that went south over this “bio” any day.

Fools often rejects God’s ways. Fools are portrayed as those who reject instructions. Their egos and confidence in their “I know better” attitude blinds them and often leads them to poor decisions and eventually a failure. Wisdom is ability to put an ego and emotions aside, ability to listen, to value input from others. Wisdom is humility, receptiveness, selflessness, desire to grow … all contrasting the fool’s arrogance.
“The way of a fool seems right to them,
but the wise listen to advice.“
Proverbs 12:15
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), there is no need to be seeking public recognition or approval when it comes to your relationship with God.
There is no need to be seeking public recognition or approval when it comes to your relationship with God. Be authentic, humble, and focused on your personal heartfelt connection with the Lord, as he values the intent of your heart, your pure motives … followed by your actions.
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Matthew 6:5-6
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), release your worries through prayer and gratitude, trusting in our Father to provide peace.
Release your worries through prayer and gratitude, trusting in our Father to provide peace. We are not alone in our struggles, let go of what you cannot control, stay grounded and calm and learn to navigate life’s storms with resilience and hope.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This passage encourages believers to turn their anxieties into prayers and supplications, expressing gratitude to God. In doing so, they will experience a peace that transcends human understanding, which will protect their hearts and minds through their faith in Christ.”
Philippians 4:6-7
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), we hope everyone has had a wonderful ‘4th of July’ weekend celebrating America’s birthday!
We hope everyone has had a wonderful ‘4th of July’ weekend celebrating America’s birthday! Today we glorify our Father in heaven for all our blessings and opportunities! May we never take for granted our God-given spirit of freedom, liberty and dignity!
“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven“
Matthew 5:16
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), this week more than ever we are reminding ourselves to stay firm in our faith and our convictions as we know the devil schemes are real!
This week more than ever we are reminding ourselves to stay firm in our faith and our conviction as we know the devil schemes are real! Be sober and watchful as there are seen and unseen forces at play that often lead to corruption, deception all the way to submission of good governance, mission and ultimately the well-being of the people! Be vigilant and righteous and follow God’s guidance in finding out truth and eliminate evil!
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.“
1 Peter 5:8
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), where do you find wisdom when you feel uncertain or lack direction?
Friends, we have been running a weekly Coffee & Politics Meeting out of our Greenville Headquarters for nearly 3 1/2 years now … and it has been a huge hit. It is how we communicate our vision and #Mission to or local Volunteers and Community … and it one way we RECRUIT more people to the MAGA America First movement.
