I will admit I did not know anything about Charlie Kirk before last week. I am sorry for him and his family and pray that his wife, children, friends know God's comfort in this time of sorrow. All should be able to express their opinions w/o fear of violence, including those who disagreed with him.

I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

We will hold this administration accountable.
