Mostly honest. Usually compassionate. Kind acts more often than kind-hearted. Sober since 1992 thanks to a daily practice. Reading, writing, ham radio, bicycles, walking, guitar-ish. Love my dogs, wife, kid, and grands, in no particular order. Fuck Trump.

Charlie Kirk grew up in a country that has become increasingly polarized. A country that has seen the explosion of social media with more and more aggressive memes, out-in-the-open hate speech, and has contributed to a degraded civility that has fallen far below when “America was Great.” In this
