The world still runs on fossil fuels
Globally, fossil fuels supply 80.8% today (2024)
only marginally down from 81.4% in 2000
Rather than ending in 2050, fossil fuels are on track end in 4-10 centuries

$FNMA $FMCC @pulte It has been almost a year and a half since you took office as FHFA Director. The GSEs are, according to your own words (10/23/25 tweet), 'stronger than ever', yet we've seen no meaningful progress on releasing them from conservatorship. Why?
Talk about comebacks…
In May 2022 Torstein Træen found out he had testicular cancer from a routine doping control.
Then he won his battle with cancer, fought back and signed with a WorldTour team.
And today he got the most famous jersey in the biggest race in the world. Absolutely insane. #TDF2026
American Exceptionalism I: The Declaration of Independence
The World Before:
For most of history, power descended at sword point. Kings inherited it, emperors seized it, priests blessed it, and subjects were expected to call obedience virtue. Liberty was not a birthright. It was a favor granted by the powerful and revoked the moment it became inconvenient.
The American Answer:
The Declaration was a political detonation. It announced that rights do not come from crowns, parliaments, parties, committees, or mobs. They belong to man before government ever enters the room, and any government that exists does so only to secure them.
That was not a request for reform. It was a notice of eviction served on empire.
The Legacy:
Britain lost thirteen colonies. The old world lost the presumption that rulers own the people beneath them. From that moment forward, every tyranny had to argue uphill against an American proposition written in Philadelphia: government is not master, but servant.
The Threat:
The enemies of this republic have always hated the Declaration because it leaves them nowhere to stand. Every collectivist faith requires rights to be conditional, managed, redistributed, or renamed into privileges. The Declaration allows none of it.
It remains what it was in 1776: a loaded weapon pointed at every ideology that demands mankind kneel.
