18-Year-Old Arrested in Plot to Attack Houston Synagogue

Authorities say an 18-year-old in North Carolina was planning an attack on a Jewish synagogue in Texas. Angelina Han Hicks was arrested yesterday and is being held on $10 million bond. She allegedly was planning the attack online with a teen in Texas who was also arrested.
An 18-year-old Lexington, North Carolina, woman and a 16-year-old in Texas have been charged after a fast-moving multistate FBI investigation into an alleged plot to attack a Jewish institution in Houston, according to court documents and statements from the FBI and Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
Angelina Han Hicks was arrested on Wednesday by detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division. She faces two counts of felony conspiracy. A juvenile was separately charged in Harris County, Texas, according to the FBI.
Investigators allege Hicks and her co-conspirators were planning a mass-casualty event at Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Houston. Court documents say the group intended to "kill as many Jews as possible" by driving through the congregation.
A new "martyr" for Proggies to celebrate with, "Free Angelina Hicks"?

Trump Restores a Landmark and Saves Millions
https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/04/23/trump-restores-a-landmark-and-saves-millions-n4952135 (https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/04/23/trump-restores-a-landmark-and-saves-millions-n4952135)
President Donald Trump has directed a major renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, giving Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum the lead on the project. The pool badly leaked and looked neglected for years.
Trump chose an industrial-grade swimming pool surface in American flag blue. The coating covers the aging granite bottom and seals the leaks.
...
Trump announced the work on April 23 and set a clear timeline. The job costs around $1.5 million and should finish within weeks. Previous plans called for full granite replacement at roughly $301 million, stretching over many years.
That's the approach Trump rejected while selecting a faster, cheaper solution that delivers results right away. The pool sits between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and serves as one of the most recognized landmarks in the country. The renovation keeps it ready for national events and daily visitors.
...
Trump has focused on visible results people see without digging through reports, pointing to years of neglect that left the water dirty and the pool in poor condition. Crews have already begun work and continue moving at a steady pace. The new blue surface reflects the sky and the monuments surrounding it, giving the site a clean and finished look.
1. What are the Las Vegas odds that the $301M estimate would balloon to $400M-$600M? And taken years longer than estimated?
2. Trump's project, OTOH will probably be within budget and time-to-complete ... unless Dems sue ...

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power should have a discussion with the President regarding the still empty Santa Ynez reservoir that could have provided 117 million gallons of water to fight the Palisades fire in Jan 2025 that destroyed over 7,000 homes and killed 12 people all because of some cover that has needed replacement for over 2 years.

A Reporter Asked This Question Regarding Iran...and It Set Trump Off
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/24/its-not-a-real-press-gaggle-until-trump-torches-a-reporter-here-was-his-latest-victim-n2674989 (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2026/04/24/its-not-a-real-press-gaggle-until-trump-torches-a-reporter-here-was-his-latest-victim-n2674989)
... There was an Oval Office event announcing a Most Favored Nation agreement with Regeneron, but it was this question that revealed vintage Trump. It’s not a real press gaggle until some reporter gets grilled by the president. And yesterday, it was PBS’ White House Correspondent Liz Landers who asked if the president would use nuclear weapons in Iran. ...
“Why would a stupid question like that be asked?” he replied. Trump then expounded upon how he decimated the country with conventional munitions and that he wouldn’t use nukes. The use of such weapons are unnecessary.
...
Landers is reportedly Jim Acosta's girlfriend. It all makes sense now.
Unlike the current Hate-Trump fantasy that Trump tried to grab the nuclear codes while talking about Iran (Why does that type of claim sound familiar?), this actually happened.

Lancet medical journal declined US Senate COVID origins ask
https://srnnews.com/lancet-medical-journal-declined-us-senate-covid-origins-ask/ (https://srnnews.com/lancet-medical-journal-declined-us-senate-covid-origins-ask/)
BARCELONA, April 24 (Reuters) – Leading medical journal The Lancet will decline a request to provide evidence for a U.S. Senate inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, its editor-in-chief Richard Horton told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
“We have received a request to go and give evidence at a Senate inquiry, which we’re not going to do,” Horton told Reuters at the Reuters Pharma event in Barcelona.
Horton said that the journal would not engage “with an administration that has attacked some of the foremost scientists of our age”, citing the treatment by President Donald Trump’s administration of a former top U.S. health official, Anthony Fauci, who led the country’s COVID-19 response.
Empty, stooooopid, virtue-signaling. I wonder if Horton and other Lanceteers have medical conference in the US between now and January 2029.

Won't be long before the leftists are writing variations on the Horst Wessel Song to celebrate these clowns...

I'm gonna go with "there's something The Lancet doesn't want revealed."

Unlike the current Hate-Trump fantasy that Trump tried to grab the nuclear codes while talking about Iran (Why does that type of claim sound familiar?), this actually happened.
The perfect response to this idiotic question would have been "You'll have to ask the Iranians."
