Australian Shadarim

This thread will provide more information about the early shadarim to visit Australia.

In 1879-1880, the earlier trickle of shadarim turned into a flood, with 3 visiting simultaneously. First to arrive was R. Yosef Hurwitz of Yerushalayim (pictured). Image
R. Hurwitz arrived in Melbourne in March 1879, collecting for a soup kitchen in Yerushalayim (Geelong Advertiser, March 15).

By July he was in Sydney, where the Sydney Morning Herald (July 19) reported in greater detail. The locals were happy with the cause and recommendations. Image
Image
In October he visited Adelaide, where the picture posted above was taken. Image

Texas Republicans suffered a humiliating defeat in a senate race yesterday. SD9 has been a rock-solid RED district for years. It flipped 30 points yesterday - giving Democrats a huge win. Conservatives are calling it a political earthquake.
Tarrant County is the biggest red county in the nation. Democrat Taylor Rehmet beats Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a district that Trump carried in 2024 by 17 points. The district hasnโ€™t voted Democratic in half a century.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blamed low turnout for a special election.

"The results from SD 9 are a wake-up call for Republicans across Texas," he said. "Our voters cannot take anything for granted."

Yet another canary in the coal mine. Virginia completely flipped Democrat

Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/

A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/ Image

Murphy on Fox News Sunday:
"We're still pretending ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What's happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it's disappearing legal residents into cars, it's murdering American citizens."

Vsevolod, Kyiv resident: When itโ€™s +2ยฐC inside your apartment, you canโ€™t do anything there.

We spend the day at our volunteer hub, then crash wherever friends can take us for the night. Thereโ€™s no heating almost for a month. 1/
Oleksandr: Itโ€™s 5ยฐC in my apartment, humidity is 70%, everything is soaked.

Iโ€™ve filed 10 complaints to the city and 10 more through the 1557 system [responsible for utility services]. You can see the result โ€” no response. 2/
Oleksandr: Weโ€™ve been without electricity for 32 hours. They promised power would be on six hours, off three โ€” but it was off for 18.

The generator ran out of fuel. One more strike like this, and it will be the end. 3/

๐Ÿšจ Does Green Party pro-Palestine candidate Hannah Spencer also support terrorists who lived in Gorton and Denton? Her campaigner today, Nahella Ashraf, certainly does.๐Ÿงต1/

In 2011, former Taliban fighter Munir Farooqi, from Longsight in the Gorton and Denton constituency, was given four life sentences for preparing terrorist acts, soliciting murder, and disseminating terrorist literature.

Nahella Ashraf supported him. Hannah Spencer should clearly and unequivocally denounce any support for terrorist supporters within her campaign. That might be tricky in the Green Partyโ€ฆImage

Russiaโ€™s bomber production is breaking down: only 2 of 4 Tu-160M bombers promised since 2022 have been delivered โ€” United24.

For Ukraine, this means fewer bombers to strike cities, energy infrastructure, and civilian homes. 1/ Image
Russiaโ€™s key bomber manufacturer, Tupolev, replaced its CEO again in January 2026 after repeated failures to deliver aircraft on time.

This is the second leadership shake-up in a year, driven by missed military contracts and lawsuits from the Russian Defense Ministry. 2/
The Defense Ministry expected four Tu-160M strategic bombers between 2022-2023.

By early 2026, only two were delivered.

The remaining aircraft are still unfinished, with no official explanation for the delay. 3/

1).
โ€žAfter months of rumors about why @realDonaldTrump so stridently demanded that everyone move on from the Epstein files (and speculation that anything else he did was an effort to distract from them),
2).
people immediately latched onto a six-page @FBI memo included in the dump that, at least on the surface, seemed to lend credence to their darkest guesses.
3).
The memo contained a spreadsheet full of uncorroborated tips sent to law enforcement, many alleging Trumpโ€™s participation in violent sex crimes involving minors, and some including graphic descriptions of their allegations.โ€

Cooper, Canadian combat medic in Ukraine: I wanted more with my life.

Every foreigner says that it is right to fight for Ukraine's freedom. I just wanted purpose.

If helping people comes with that, then thatโ€™s good too. I see it as my duty.

Cooper, with a Colombian volunteer, pulled out a wounded comrade under fire. He was shot, struggling to breathe.

Cooper: He went into shock on the way to the bunker. I honestly didnโ€™t think heโ€™d make it.
But he did, he is a fighter.

The wounded soldier survived.
2/
Cooper: I stepped on a mine. I remember being thrown onto my back and seeing my boot tear apart.

I was the last in the formation. We were moving correctly, professionally. They got lucky โ€” I didnโ€™t.
I reached for the tourniquet instantly and put it on.
