Good morning. The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts. The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core. The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us. That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug. So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both. Love y’all.

Ive been going back and watching videos of Charlie debating with students. This particular debate left me in awe. What an incredibly knowledgeable man. Take a moment to witness and be inspired……

@RosenBarrie After Covid - the CDC has lost all credibility with me.

We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year Ultimately, the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr

@Braves Miracles do happen. Now go sign @buehlersdayoff and @BauerOutage for the remainder of the year. Get them right and ready for next year!

Bryce was nice 🔥 #BravesCountry

@Braves @SlangsOnSports Why is a pitcher with an ERA of 6.29 taking the ball every 5th game? End this experiment and DFA Elder. The team has to climb out of a massive deficit every time he pitches. It’s incomprehensible at this point.

So we were down 10-4 and then wheeeeeeeee! #BravesCountry

@pvtjokerus FAFO

🚨 URGENT ACTION NEEDED🚨 SHARE SHARE SHARE! Watch this urgent message and share it before it’s too late. California’s AB 495 is the most dangerous bill we’ve ever seen—and it’s being pushed right now by lawmakers in Sacramento. This bill would allow any non-related adult, a neighbor, teacher, ex-relative, or even a complete stranger, to take custody of your child without your knowledge or consent. No background check. No court order. No parent’s signature. Just a piece of paper. We’re calling on every parent, grandparent, and concerned citizen to show up on August 19 at the Capitol steps in Sacramento. This is the hill to die on. Your attendance matters!

@APompliano Yes. Don’t want my tax $ paying for anyone else’s obesity and diabetes. It should be for basic staples needed for survival. You want that crap, rise up an get off food stamps.

The government just banned soda, candy & other junk food from food stamp eligibility. Do you think this is a good idea or not?

@TaraBull808 It’s an over priced 💩 hole…

Why is Las Vegas seeing a sharp tourism decline while the rest of the country isn't?

@Braves Is it football season yet? I can’t watch any more of this debacle.

Final: Reds 3, #Braves 2.

@Braves I don’t even watch when Elder pitches. Guys ERA is over 6 and you still run him out there. Wake me up when you are serious about winning again.

Final: Rangers 8, #Braves 1.

@ForePlayPod Walks up to a stationary figure and says he’s standing right in front of me. Class act. Total 💩 head move. Be humble.

Bryson telling a volunteer he can “move out of the way.” Thoughts on this?

@marvel_updat3s Nope.

Are you excited for ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’?

@mlbbowman When will Snit confirm that Snit is being sent down?

Snit confirmed Fuentes will be sent down. Finally

@Braves Absolutely pathetic! What a disgrace.

Final: Athletics 10, #Braves 1.

@luzthegoosey Send him down and keep him down. Sign @BauerOutage

does he deserve another start? (not like there’s any other options)

@Braves Sign @BauerOutage - we don’t pay to watch relief pitched games. Make a move already!

Final: Orioles 9, #Braves 6.

@Braves Well, Elder was on the mound with an ERA just sub 6. What other outcome should we have expected? The team is in a hole every time he pitches. He should be in AA. Im about to tune the season out.

Final: Angels 5, #Braves 1.

@Braves Send Elder and his 5.82 ERA down to double A, sign @BauerOutage, get a new hitting coach and try to salvage the season. Getting tired of this same BS.

Final: Phillies 13, #Braves 0.

@GabeBurnsAJC Here is an idea… Sign @BauerOutage, a proven starter with Cy Young pedigree. We can get him for a bat and bag of balls.

The Braves don't have many alternatives to Fuentes, who (understandably) isn't ready to be a regular. Maybe Waldrep can give you something. But we're gonna be talking about them trading for a starter. There's a lot on the deadline shopping list.
