Als er dan tĂłch vlees in de gehaktbal gaat, kijk dan eens naar de dubbeldoelkoe

De gehaktbal van de toekomst, die NRC liet ontwikkelen, is grotendeels plantaardig, en bevat ook vlees. Dubbeldoelkoeien, die nog een goed stuk vlees opleveren als ze zijn uitgemolken, zijn daar bij uitstek geschikt voor. Maar veehouder Koos van der Laan vindt het niks: zijn mooie vlees in een hybride bal.

Government Defrauds Legal Immigrants and US Sponsors Who Paid $1 Billion

During testimony before the US Senate, I called it the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system. In fact, it is likely the first $1 billion fraud—a theft of processing fees for services never rendered. Even Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana told me at the hearing that he was shocked it was happening. It is happening, and it is shocking.

Via Common Dreams: An immigration researcher at the Cato Institute found that the Trump administration is "raking in billions of dollars in immigration fees and not providing the adjudications that applicants are entitled to." A report published last week by the Cato Institute, written by director of immigration studies David J. Bier, found that the State Department and Department of Homeland Security were receiving millions of applications from immigrants whom Trump has made ineligible for legal status and pocketing the fees without ever processing the requests. "The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications," said Austin Kocher, a fellow at Immigration Lab and a professor at Newhouse and Syracuse University in a social media post breaking down the report on Monday. "No denials. No refunds. Just silence." *** Before this gets buried under the news about the ground invasion of Iran, which could happen as soon as this weekend, I thought I'd share this story about the government defrauding visa seekers en masse. BTW, No Kings 3 is this Saturday, March 28th.

Polio virus detected in London days before ministers cut global eradication funding

Campaigner criticises ‘shortsighted and self-defeating’ decision and says it increases risk to the UK public

The polio virus was detected in London sewage for the second time this year, days before ministers withdrew funding for global polio eradication efforts.

Its detection reveals the spending cuts to be “shortsighted and self-defeating”, campaigners said. Polio is an extremely infectious viral disease, which typically affects young children under-five. It can cause paralysis by damaging nerves in the spine and base of the brain, and can be life-threatening if it affects muscles used for breathing.
