🚨 MASSIVE: Xi Jinping SKIPS the BRICS Summit for the first time ever.

No explanation.
Just vanished.

The world’s second most powerful man is missing from his own alliance.

What’s going on in China?🧵

2/ The 2025 BRICS summit just wrapped in Rio.

Russia’s Putin phoned it in (literally) due to his ICC arrest warrant.

But Xi? He didn’t show at all.

He sent his Premier instead.
No statement. No reason. Total silence.

3/ This is unprecedented.

Xi has never missed a BRICS summit since taking power in 2013.

He even showed up by video during COVID.

Now? Total no-show.

What changed?

4/ Analysts point to three big possibilities:

1️⃣ Power struggle in Beijing?
2️⃣ China’s collapsing economy?
3️⃣ Infighting inside BRICS itself?

Xi may be losing control — both at home and abroad.

https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1938718509103468757

5/ Let’s break it down:

🔹 China’s real estate market is imploding
🔹 Youth unemployment is near 50%
🔹 The middle class is in revolt
🔹 Local governments are broke
🔹 Xi’s purges have created deep enemies inside the CCP

The regime is cracking.

6/ And on top of that?

🔥 BRICS is falling apart too.

China is feuding with India.
Russia is a liability.
The Saudis and Iranians are barely on speaking terms.
Even Brazil is pushing its own agenda.

And China abandoned Iran.

https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1942714867162460284

7/ China’s dictatorship wants to present a united front.
But Xi’s absence proves the opposite:

💥 Internal turmoil
💥 Global tension
💥 Weakness, not strength

The BRICS summit revealed what Beijing tried to hide.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill just delivered a huge win for health care freedom.

Millions more Americans can now use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) — a powerful vehicle for tax-free savings and medical choice — and of course Democrats are furious.🧵

2/ In a broken system that punishes saving and locks you into bloated employer insurance...

HSAs are a rare gem:

✅ You own it
✅ It grows tax-free
✅ You choose how to spend it

And now? Trump just made them bigger and better.

3/ Starting Jan. 1, 2026:

🏥 7.3 million more Americans on Bronze or Catastrophic ACA plans can open HSAs
🧑‍⚕️ You can now pay for direct primary care with your HSA
💻 Telehealth deductibles? Waived — permanently

That's real reform.

🚨 Trump just ended deportation protections for 76,000 illegal immigrants from Nicaragua and Honduras.

Because “temporary” doesn’t mean forever.

And this is just the beginning. 🧵

2/ The Trump Administration just revoked TPS—Temporary Protected Status—for:

🇭🇳 72,000 Hondurans
🇳🇮 4,000 Nicaraguans

They've been here since 1999.

Why? Because of a hurricane… 26 years ago.

Seriously? FEMA's not sending me anything for Ivan!

3/ DHS: “TPS was never meant to last 25 years.”

Secretary Kristi Noem: “The government of Honduras has taken all necessary steps to overcome Hurricane Mitch.”

It’s time to go home. And Trump is restoring the rule of law.

🚨BREAKING: The Pentagon is becoming the largest shareholder in an American rare earth mining company.

This is one of the biggest moves yet to decouple from China—and it's a Trump administration masterstroke.

Here’s what just happened—and why it matters 🧵

2/ Rare earth elements are in everything:

Fighter jets
Missiles
Drones
EVs
Phones
AI hardware

China controls over 80% of global production. That’s a national security disaster—and Trump just took it head on.

3/ Of course the real question is how generations of American leaders let China become dominant.

The U.S. has enough rare earth elements to supply 85% of the needs of the WHOLE WORLD.

But Jimmy Carter shut down our refining capabilities.

🚨EXPOSED: The NEA—America’s largest teachers union—just held its annual convention.

It wasn’t about kids.

It was a partisan war council: attacking Trump, defying parents, and even rejecting student learning.

Here’s what they’re hiding 🧵

2/ On Fourth of July, the NEA’s “Teacher of the Year” proudly declared:

“My job is deeply political.”

And the union backed her up—passing resolutions attacking Trump, praising resistance to ICE, severing ties with the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, and defying parental rights.

3/ They even pledged to fight Trump’s “embrace of facism [sic]” in official NEA materials.

Yes, they misspelled fascism—in a resolution by school teachers about education.

This is straight out of @TheBabylonBee.

🚨BREAKING: Israel & Syria are on the brink of a historic peace deal.

Yes, you read that right. The Golan Heights. Hezbollah. The ghost of Assad. The Abraham Accords. Maybe even defense cooperation & investment.

All of it.

Here’s what we know (and why it’s a game-changer):🧵

2/ In a secret meeting in Abu Dhabi, Israel’s National Security Adviser met with Syria’s new President, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

The deal on the table?

🇸🇾 Syria drops its claims to the Golan Heights
🇮🇱 Israel recognizes the new Syrian government

Unthinkable for six decades!

3/ Sharaa—formerly known as terrorist leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani—overthrew Assad in December.

He’s a former jihadist. But his government has taken stunning turns:

✅ Cut off Hezbollah arms
✅ Pledged human rights reform
✅ Seeking cooperation with the West

🚨 Xi Jinping’s rule is starting to unravel.

Purges. Rumors. Disappearances.

And now—open talk of a successor.

Something is breaking in Beijing.

Let me explain why China’s “strongman” may not be so strong anymore🧵

2/ Xi just purged:

🚫 China’s Navy chief
🚫 A nuclear weapons engineer
🚫 A former military commissar who ran CCP ideological control

None had been publicly under investigation.
They were just… removed.

This isn’t strength. It’s panic.

https://x.com/RodDMartin/status/1942752929305235741

3/ And Xi?

He disappeared for two weeks during peak diplomatic season.

Didn’t show for the BRICS Summit—for the first time ever.

When he reappeared, he looked exhausted.

Theories are swirling:
💥 Health problem?
💥 Coup attempt?
💥 Both?
