It is a large format, weighty volume of 352 pages of the highest quality paper deserving of the topic.

Opinion: Deadly force bills limit officers’ ability to do job
As former law enforcement professionals, we served on the front lines to keep our communities safe. Now, as members of the state House Criminal Justice Committee, we are speaking out against a dangerous set of bills being pushed by progressive Democrats in Lansing. Senate Bills 1091-1101 and House Bills 6112-6121 would cripple law enforcement, tie the hands of officers trying to protect the public and ultimately make Michigan communities less safe.
Eagles Week 3 Recap
- Kenny Pete, Contributor The Philadelphia Eagles had a lot of questions to answer going on the road to face a red hot Saints team that posted over 80 points in the first 2 games of the season. Would the Eagles defense be able to stop a this powerful of an offense? What adjustments will the team make after last week's late collapse vs Atlanta on national television? Would they in fact 'run the damn ball'? The 1st half was largely a defensive showing from both teams.

Written by Mike Mueller & Kimmy Sokol For the first time since 2005, a premium live event will be held in Puerto Rico! Now the build for this show has been rather interesting.

Team Mike vs. Team Kimmy: Full Gear 2022 Predictions
Team Mike or Team Kimmy: Our Full Gear Predictions By: Mike Mueller & Kimmy Sokol That is right, I tied it up 1-1. Mike should know to always bet on the EST of WWE.

Team Mike or Team Kimmy: Our Extreme Rules Predictions 2022
Written by Mike Mueller and Kimmy Sokol Last year’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view was anything but extreme. There was only one match with a stipulation and everything fell flat.

Here are our Extreme Rules predictions.
Big Brother Season 24 Week 3 Review: Festie Bestie
A NEW TWIST Big Brother Season 24 Week 3 begins … Following Pooch’s eviction, Julie informs the houseguests they will be playing in pairs moving forward (their Festie Bestie). If your Bestie wins HoH, you’re automatically safe for the week. However, instead of nominating two individuals, the HoH will nominate one set of “besties”. An interesting twist that might make the HoH reconsider who they put up.
Big Brother Season 24 Week 2 Review: Screwing the Pooch
REPLACING PALOMA We begin Big Brother Season 24 Week 2 with Paloma out of the house and the alliance of Monty, Kyle, Michael, Ameerah, and Alyssa needing a new sixth member. They chose to approach Nicole, which is an interesting choice, given how close her and Daniel clearly are. They are putting a lot of faith in Nicole not to tell Daniel and ruin their plans. Indy, or even Joseph would have been better picks, since they don’t really seem to be tightly aligned with anybody at the moment.
Big Brother Season 24 Week 1: All of the Twists
This is a recap of Big Brother Season 24 Week 1 GET TO KNOW YOU After the HoH competition is over, the houseguests gather in the living room for the typical round-table “get to know you” speeches.

Big Brother 24 Premiere: Let the Games Begin
Written by Mike Mueller On Wednesday, July 6th, CBS kicked off Big Brother 24. Sorry, let’s try that again. CBS kicked off its 24th season of BIIIIIIGGGG BROTHERRRRRRRR. There we go, that sounds better. The long running reality show has officially returned for another summer of twists, turns, and unnecessary drama.
Opinion: Bail reform shouldn't be a get-out-of-jail free card for offenders
As our colleagues in the Michigan Legislature weigh whether to take up a bail reform proposal, we think it’s important to take a step back and look at the concerning results produced by similar reforms made in states like New York and California.

Episode 10 LAMAR COMES OFF THE BENCH While Lamar Odom has given us some really touching and emotional moments this season, including opening up about his infant son who died and the regrets he has over his marriage falling apart, he really hasn’t been much of a game player. In fact, for most of the season, he didn’t really even understand how huge parts of the game worked.

AEW Rampage 1/28 Review: Welcome to the Jurassic Period
Photo Credit: All Elite Wrestling MOX VS. ANTHONY BOWENS Ladies and gentlemen, Mox is back! After a few months off to take care of some personal demons, Jon Moxley is back and better than ever. Trimmed down, focused, and looking great. After making Ethan Page pass out last week, Mox took on Anthony Bowens of the Acclaimed. Max Caster laid down another great dis track as The Acclaimed made their way to the ring. Caster brought up Mox’s wife, Renee Pacquette, AND said that Mox’s new book was boring.
Why The Men's Royal Rumble Was A Major Disappointment
Typically, the Royal Rumble is kind of like pizza, or sex: even when it’s bad it’s still kinda good. But that’s not always the case is it? Pizza can give you food poisoning, and sex can leave you with all sorts of unwanted problems. Am I saying this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble was the equivalent of diarrhea or an STD? Honestly…kinda, yeah. The main problem with this year’s Rumble is not that it was a disappointing victor.
AEW Rampage 1/14 Review: Gang Warfare Hit AEW Rampage
Photo Credit: All Elite Wrestling ADAM COLE VS. TRENT The next chapter in The Elite vs. The Best Friends saga was written as Adam Cole took on Trent. Since Trent’s return, he’s had a more serious look and approach in the ring. For a minute, a heel turn was teased for Trent, but it seems like AEW has pumped the brakes on that, which is probably for the best. Trent got the early advantage with a series of brutal strikes, before the match spilled to the outside, where the high impact moves continued.
What we need now is a beginner’s mind
I am a bit of an outlier in the world of business commentary. Although my feet are firmly planted in the fertile soil of data-driven marketing, I also am deeply rooted in the practice of Zen meditation. When I’m not strategizing with company CEOs and marketing directors, you might find me on a cushion watching my breath. I find this unlikely combination hugely beneficial not only personally, but professionally, too. On the business side, I obsess over how to help companies achieve their goals.

Survivor Season 41 Finale Review: The End of a New Beginning
Photo Credit: CBS Thirteen weeks ago, when Survivor 41 first aired, Jeff Probst warned us that this would be a season like no other. “Drop the 4, keep the 1,” Probst quipped, and he was absolutely right. As the finale played out this past Wednesday, it didn’t seem like we were coming to the end of another chapter in a very long book, it felt more like we were closing the first chapter of a brand new book. And who doesn’t love a new book?!?
