The original “Red” album was first released in 2012 and features hits such as “22” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.” Re-creating her music is somewhat of a novel idea and has fans wondering whether other artists will…

The same day President Joe Biden announced details of his COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers, The Daily Wire filed a lawsuit to stop it.  The Daily Wire, a media outlet founded by conservative commentator and author Ben Shapiro, filed the suit because the mandate on employers of 100 or more workers is unconstitutional, the organization said in a public statement Nov. 4.  Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal aid organization, is representing The Daily Wire in its fight to halt Biden’s vaccine mandate.

Dustin Honken was convicted of murdering five people, including two children, and was sentenced to death in a federal court in 2004. Sixteen years later, he was executed. He also received the last rites of the Catholic Church—in the execution chamber—from Rev.
