Welcome to a Hump Day (“ថ្ងៃ Hump” in Khmer), Wednesday, June 4, 2025, and National Cheese Day. Here’s a long video about how my very favorite cheese (Comté, preferably aged over two years) is made. The meal shown at the end is fantastic.
It’s also Global Running Day, Hug Your Cat Day (don’t forget to kiss the belly!), and National Cognac Day.
Readers are welcome to mark notable events, births, or deaths on this day by consulting the June 4 Wikipedia page.

*The negotiations between the U.S. and Iran about de-nuking the latter country appear to have reached an impasse. According to the Jerusalem Post, Iran is now making preparations for attacks by Israel and the U.S.
Iran is strengthening its air defense systems amid preparations for the possibility of an American or Israeli attack on the country’s nuclear infrastructure should nuclear negotiations fail, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
“We are witnessing an impressive improvement in the capabilities and competence of the country’s air defense system,” Iran’s Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Baqeri reportedly said in May, adding that Iran’s military has seen a “multi-fold increase in investments.”
“The enemies of the Iranian nation should understand that any violation of our airspace will cause them significant harm,” he added.
According to Western intelligence assessments and security analysts’ investigation of satellite imagery, Iran appears to have relocated several anti-aircraft missile launchers to positions close to key nuclear sites like Natanz and Fordow, the report says.
A significant portion of Iran’s most advanced anti-aircraft missiles and radar systems – including its long-range Russian S-300 systems – were destroyed or damaged during Israeli air strikes on the country in October and April 2024, the FT states.
. . .”Israel currently has almost complete air superiority over Iran,” Robert Tolast, a researcher at the British RUSI Institute, told the FT. “But such an attack would require waves upon waves of aircraft for hours. Crew fatigue comes into play – the longer they are over Iran, the greater the chance that something will go wrong.”
“From the Iranian side, this effort is trying to recreate the success story of Iran’s ballistic missile development program,” Fabian Hintz, a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Britain, said to the FT.
Dealing with this defense system would not be easy for Israel, John Alterman, chairman of the Global Security and Geopolitical Strategy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told the FT. “But is it beyond Israel’s capabilities? No, of course not. The Israelis have been training for exactly this scenario for decades.”
Talks between Washington and Tehran over the future of Iran’s nuclear program are ongoing. Most recently, the US presented a proposal for a new nuclear deal to Iran on Saturday via Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, who was on a short visit to Tehran and has been mediating nuclear talks between Iran and the US.
However, a senior diplomat close to Iran’s nuclear negotiating team said on Monday that Iran is poised to reject the proposal, slamming it as a “non-starter” that fails to address Tehran’s interests and leaves Washington’s stance on uranium enrichment unchanged.
Of course Iran wants tacit approval to enrich uranium, but it will do it even if it agrees otherwise. I somewhat welcome this impasse, as it gives Israel, which has “been training for exactly this scenario for decades.” It there is indeed a breakdown of these talks between U.S. and Iranian negotiators, I don’t think Trump would stand in the way of an Israeli attack, and might even give help. But even more than that I wish the oppressed people of Iran would rise up against the theocratic regime, for the country has great potential for development.
*The WaPo reports on the Egyptian “flame-thrower” terrorist, who apparently planned his attack on supporters of Israel—actually, people peacefully reminding us of the hostages still in captivity—for a year.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who has been charged with a federal hate crime and state charges of attempted murder, appeared in court on Monday afternoon in an orange jumpsuit and with a bandage around his head. Authorities said Soliman had more than a dozen unused molotov cocktails and are investigating the incident as an act of terrorism.
The horror of the attack — many of the victims, including a Holocaust survivor, were senior citizens — was magnified by repeated violent incidents targeting American Jews since 2023, when Hamas invaded Israel, setting off Israel’s current war in Gaza.
A young couple were gunned down last month as they exited a Jewish museum in D.C. and the residence of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, was set on fire in April by a man blaming him for Middle East violence against Palestinians.
Although incidents of antisemitism have been rising in the United States since 2016, groups that monitor hate crimes say the numbers have exploded since Oct. 7, 2023.
The high-profile nature of attacks over the past few weeks and the intense political debate about the causes of the war in Gaza has left some U.S. Jews feeling more vulnerable.
“It’s definitely not the same. Every Jew in America is feeling this and thinking about it differently. Many of us lived open, engaged active Jewish lives and never felt antisemitism as a threat in any meaningful way and I don’t know anyone who thinks that now,” said Hadar Susskind, president of the progressive advocacy group New Jewish Narrative.
Soliman yelled “Free Palestine” as he used a flamethrower and tossed an incendiary device into the crowd at a Colorado pedestrian mall, where the local chapter of a pro-Israeli group, Run for Their Lives, was hosting an event calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, law enforcement officials have said. Soliman learned about the group from an online search and specifically targeted them, according to court documents.
I am a secular Jew, which of course doesn’t save me from this kind of stuff, as I’m still typed as a “Zio” and I do sympathize with Israel. Still, never in my life did I think I’d see the kind of Jew hatred spreading across the West that I see now. Practically no Western country is not replete with antisemitism, and there’s attack after attack. Does anybody even notice that Jews themselves don’t engage in the kind of terrorism and illegal demonstrations that we regularly see from Palestinians? Well, it doesn’t matter, does it? Nothing that Jews or Israel do could ever be met with approbation.
*The Free Press document’s the UK’s abysmal freedom of expression in an article called “The British mother serving time for a tweet.” An excerpt:
Lucy Connolly is Britain’s foremost political prisoner. Connolly, a 41-year-old childminder and the mother of a 12-year-old daughter, is currently serving a 31-month sentence for “stirring up racial hatred” in a single tweet that she deleted less than four hours after posting. On May 20, a court rejected Connolly’s application to appeal.
Connolly’s case is the latest in a series revealing the decline of free speech in Britain and the rise of a “two-tier” justice system that treats ordinary people like enemies of the state.
Before we get into the legal technicalities, let’s review what happened:
On July 29, 2024, Axel Rudakubana, the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants to Britain, went on a stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift–themed children’s party in Southport, northern England. Rudakubana murdered three girls—ages 6, 7, and 9— and critically wounded six children and two adults.
Inaccurate claims on social media said the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker. In response, the police described the man they had arrested as having been born in Cardiff, Wales. Locals, however, knew something of his background, and that fed the online rumor mill.
Rudakubana was not identified until he appeared in court on August 1, 2024. He was charged with murder, attempted murder, and knife possession (and later with possession of homemade ricin and an al-Qaeda manual). By then, protests and rioting had erupted in Southport, where a crowd attacked police officers and the local mosque.
The rioting spread across England and Northern Ireland—the worst outbreak of disorder in Britain in more than a decade. It devastated the official image of Britain as a multicultural, multiracial success story, forced open a long-suppressed debate on immigration and crime—and, through the Lucy Connolly case, raised serious questions about whether or not the police and justice systemtreat crimes differently depending on the identity of the perpetrator.
Connolly, who suffers from PTSD after losing her 19-month-old son to failures in medical care in 2011, issued her tweet before the rioting began. At 8:30 p.m. on the day of the killings, enraged by what she had read and seen online, she tweeted:
And here’s the tweet from itvX (you can fill in the “f” word and “b” word for yourself.
There is little doubt that Connolly’s statement broke British law. Under Section 19 of the Public Order Act (1986), anyone who “publishes or distributes written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting” is liable to prosecution and up to seven years in prison.
There is, however, growing doubt that Connolly’s punishment fit her crime. Plenty of more serious offenders escape prison terms. In 2023, the year before Connolly’s tweet, the UK government’s National Crime Agency found that eight in 10 of those convicted of possessing child abuse pornography in Britain avoided prison.
First of all, this would not be a violation of free speech in America. Even though it’s a call for violence, it’s not likely to incite “imminent and predictable lawless action,” the criterion for violating the First Amendment. Rather, these are the lucubrations of a disturbed mother overreacting to the murder of three young girls. Is it hateful? Of course! I would never publish such a thing. Is it racist? Well, yes, in that she demonizes a whole group. Should she serve 2½ years in jail for it? No, not one day, especially when she has PTSD, had lost a child, deleted the tweet within four hours, and because 80% of those convicted of child pornography do no jail time. In fact, she’d serve no jail time in the U.S. And I’d say the same thing if she were talking about Jews instead of (presumably) African immigrants or blacks. You know what the UK needs? A First Amendment.
*Wire Sports leaked what appears to be the first page of the chromosome test of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who woman a gold medal in women’s welterweight category in last year’s summer Olympics. Observers noted that Khelif had an extraordinarily powerful punch on top of what looked like a male phenotype, though Khelif claimed vociferously the sex of a biological women. Wikipedia says this, which probably needs correction if the document below is true:
Unsubstantiated claims that Khelif is male were fueled by Khelif’s disqualification from the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championships, organised by the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA) after she allegedly failed unspecified gender eligibility tests.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its Paris Boxing Unit stated Khelif was eligible to compete in the Olympics and criticized the IBA’s previous disqualification as “sudden and arbitrary” and taken “without any due process”. Khelif was born female,and no medical evidence that she has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone has been published.
I’ve put a box around the relevant part, which apparently shows that Khelif has XY chromosomes. Khelif was raised as a woman, probably because he had ambiguous or female-like genitalia and thus a disorder (also called “difference”) of sex determination, as evidenced by physiognamy and performance. Because Khelif was raised as a woman, his/her claims probably don’t involve duplicity, but simple misidentification of biological sex. Based on the test below, though, Khelif should have been investigated further by the Olympics (the box around the chromosome result is mine).
Wire Sports adds this:
Since winning gold, Khelif has been on a publicity tear that clearly aims to spotlight a female identity – appearing at a Bottega Veneta fashion show (“mustard button-up shacket with black leather trousers”), posing for the cover feature in one of Vogue magazine’s editions and more. In January, a Qatari public relations agency, Kotinos, announced Khelif had joined up; a few days ago, anticipating a first-since-Paris appearance at a boxing tourney next week in Holland, the Kotinos Instagram account posted, again, about Khelif.
In Paris, Khelif said, “I am a woman, like any other woman. I was born a woman. I have lived as a woman. I compete as a woman. There is no doubt about that,” adding, “There are enemies of success — that is what I call them.”
Since Paris, Khelif has not – at least for the public record – taken a chromosome test.
World Boxing has since banned Khelif from competition until the athlete takes another sex test. This will probably involve a cheek swab, which is highly accurate (though not 100% perfect) in detecting the SRY gene, whose sequence is nearly perfectly correlated with the type of reproductive system indicating male or female sex. The story adds this, which I can’t verify:
Last October, in an account that built on what I wrote from Paris, a French outlet, citing a June 2023 medical report, reported that Khelif has a difference in sexual development – formally called 5-alpha reductase type-2 deficiency – with XY chromosomes, internal testes and a “micropenis.”
A hormone test showed a “male-type testosterone level of 14.7,” the French story said, “while the female gender does not exceed the maximum level of 3.”
Here’s the 46-second bout between Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini that raised all the questions. Carini withdrew, saying that she had never felt a punch that hard:
*If you’re in Amsterdam, you may want to go to the Rijksmuseum, even if you’ve been, for there’s an unusual new item to see:
The Netherlands’ national museum has a new object on display that merges art with Amsterdam’s infamous Red Light District: a nearly 200-year-old condom, emblazoned with erotic art.
The Rijksmuseum said in a statement that the playful prophylactic, believed to be made around 1830 from a sheep’s appendix, “depicts both the playful and the serious side of sexual health.”
It is part of an exhibition called “Safe Sex?” about 19th century sex work that opened on Tuesday.
The condom, possibly a souvenir from a brothel, is decorated with an erotic image of a nun and three clergymen.
The phrase “This is my choice” is written along the sheath in French. According to the museum, this is a reference to the Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting “The Judgment of Paris,” which depicts the Trojan prince Paris judging a beauty contest between three goddesses.
The condom is on display until the end of November.
You can see it easily at this CNN site, and, lo and behold, it’s made of a sheep’s appendix. I have wondered how they prevented pregnancy in the old days.

The Wikipedia article of Imane Khelif shows how woke-captured Wikipedia is.
Suggestions that he has male, XY, chromosomes are labelled as “misinformation” or “unsubstantiated”, while it claims that the tests taken are “unspecified”, that the IBA “falsely claimed” he had XY chromosomes, that a disqualification was Russian dirty tricks, et cetera.
The page claims: “… no medical evidence that she has XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone has been published”.
This is one of woke editors favourite tactics: they demand that all information must be “published” in “reliable sources” in order to then be quoted on Wikipedia, but then they deprecate any source they don’t like as “unreliable”.
For example, on the current “Talk” page for that page:
“This page needs updating with the new info that Khelif is in fact male”
Reply: “None of these are reliable sources. The Telegraph is very unreliable for gender related topics and the other two are even worse.”
Effectively, woke editors make up any excuse to cling to their position and refuse any attempt at neutrality.
The above chromosome test was done in 2023, and it’s certainly not “unsubstantiated” as of now. Here is a Reddit thread that claims a number of facts, with references.
https://www.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/1elmczd/what_are_the_facts_regarding_khelif_imane/
Most of the statements seem confirmed thru the references, but I can’t find confirmation that there was a 2022 chromosome test that also showed Khelif had Y chromosomes. If that is true, then she knew there was good reason to disqualify her for female boxing. long before later tournaments like the olympics.
How discouraging.
Re the Lucy Connolly case:
“First of all, this would not be a violation of free speech in America.”
But she wasn’t in America, and U.S. Constitution does not apply in the U.K. The U.S. Constitution also has the Second Amendment, and that’s not the law in the U.K. either, which is why we don’t have a daily slaughter of innocent children in school shootings, which the U.S. tragically does.
Yes. Furthermore, her tweet was viewed 310,000 times before being deleted, and the unrest that followed was the worst for years, including fires, break-ins and mob violence aimed at asylum seekers, ethnic minorities in general, and the police. As Daniel Finkelstein (usually a staunch free-speech supporter) comments in The Times today, “She wasn’t just just falsely shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre, she was encouraging people to set fire to the theatre”.
Your wording seems to suggest that her Tweet was the cause of the unrest. In reality there was a vast amount of social-media and other commentary at the time, and any one Tweet likely had close-to-zero consequence. She has pretty much been made a scapegoat.
She wasn’t convicted of inciting violence. The charge was stirring up racial hatred, disseminating material that is threatening, abusive, or insulting. (Note the “or”. “Insulting” by itself is illegal.) The Crown didn’t need to prove violence was likely to occur, only that her tweet was likely to cause readers to dislike black Muslims and disturb racial harmony. You might believe she deserved to go to jail because you think she was inciting violence but that was irrelevant to the charge. Again, the United Kingdom can criminalize whatever it’s Parliament wants to, but don’t think that incitement of violence is necessary to get convicted.
Perhaps it might be pertinent to point out that what is really riling people up about the injustice of her sentencing can be encapsulated in the following tweet.
https://x.com/Basil_TGMD/status/1929939149127065751
Two tier justice seems very obvious in the UK judiciary.
Also I heard the reason why so many pedophiles escape prison terms is they would need to build more jails just to house them. How shocking is that!!! That is an alarming number of truly vile men.
That was encouraging violence? Only if she were standing outside a hotel with a megaphone. In the word of General McAuliffe, “nuts.”
Twitter IS the megaphone used by hate-mongers and rabble-rousers these days.
The United States does not have daily slaughter of school children. Where ever did you get that idea?
That said, Americans should not be telling foreign countries how they should organize their societies. That role is the proper function of foreigners to tell Americans how they should run theirs.
Poor choice of phrasing on my part. That was exactly the point I was making.
U.S. – Second Amendment, and daily school shootings.
U.K. – No Second Amendment, very strict gun laws, no school shootings.
Long before the United States had school and other mass shooting events we had both a 2nd Amendment and a significantly higher number of households with guns. Nor did we have steel gun safes, trigger locks, safety classes, and a proliferation of laws governing where one must store your ammunition, how you must stow your gun, etc. Ask people who grew up in the ’50s or earlier and you will hear many stories of rifles being brought to school during hunting season or of grandma with a loaded shotgun always kept next to the front door. And those kids weren’t blowing out each other’s brains. That is a late-20th century development.
You would be better served looking toward changes in our culture than to continuity in our Constitution if you want to do a proper causal analysis.
I grew up in the early 70s and I remember kids driving into school with their shotguns still in the racks in the cabs of their trucks. They’d been out hunting before school. It was a different time.
I’m afraid you’re trading in non-sequiturs. No claim was made that the US constitution applies in the UK, only that it would far better if the UK had an equivalent codified set of protected freedoms. Moreover, the second amendment has no bearing on the issue at hand.
Jerry wrote, “Wire Sports leaked what appears to be the first page of the chromosome test of Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who woman a gold medal in women’s welterweight category in last year’s summer Olympics.”
I know “woman” is a typo for “won”, but I kinda like the idea of “woman” as a verb for males competing in the female category.
I admire Jerry for trying to see the best in people. However, at some point, surely by 23 March 2023, Mr. Khelif knew he was male. From that date on (at the latest) it is no longer mistaken sex identity due to his DSD but outright deception. He knew he was male when he boxed as a woman in the Olympics and clobbered his female opponents. He’s a thug and a fraud.
I agree.
“in moderately trained (weight-matched) individuals, the power gap between a male and a female punch is about 162%? That is, such males can punch about 2.6 times harder than such females.”

“the way [Imane] Khelif is fighting, allowing a male into the female boxing ring is the equivalent of letting a heavyweight into the ring with a lightweight. A female has to be well over 30 kilograms heavier than a male to match strength levels. So this is a yawning chasm.” (biologist Emma Hilton, University of Manchester, UK, @ 14:55)

Hamas can end the war in an instant by releasing the hostages and surrendering. They are on a trajectory to sacrifice every person in Gaza in the name of their precious cause.
