Best Welcome Bonuses for New Casino Players

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-07-07 02:03 +0000
When I first started exploring online casinos, nothing caught my eye faster than no-deposit bonuses—free spins or cash just for signing up? Yes, please! But I quickly learned: not all offers are created equal. After testing dozens of casinos, I noticed most come with wagering requirements between 10x–30x. But the real gems? Those with playthroughs under ... Read more

Rhodes: The Illusion of Freedom

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-06 18:00 +0000
How Hyper‑Planning Defines Liberty in New Hampshire I have come to realize that New Hampshire, far from being a bastion of freedom, is quietly becoming a textbook case of Charles Merriam’s vision of administrative progressivism. The technocratic restructuring of government that Merriam called for in the early twentieth century—replacing representative institutions with expert-driven administrative bodies—is ... Read more

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-06 16:00 +0000
Mayor Jim Donchess’s recent decisions regarding Nashua’s Pride Parade have raised serious questions about his commitment to the First Amendment and his understanding of viewpoint neutrality in public forums.

Turcotte: Process and Substance

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-06 14:00 +0000
While the last House session is still fresh in everyone’s mind, I want to take the opportunity to give my perspective on both the process and substance of HB1, HB2, and HB282. When I ran for Speaker this term, I attempted to keep the issues internally and within our caucus rather than putting it out ... Read more

MacDonald: Pretentious Stretching

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-07-06 11:00 +0000
Many of us are at a point where being still for too long can cause us harm. You went to sleep feeling fine, but getting up is a form of torture that can last for minutes, hours, or even days: aches, pains, twinges, loss of mobility, or range of motion. Getting old, as some like ... Read more

MacDonald: Are Memes the ‘Page 3’ Girls of the Blogging World?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-07-05 21:00 +0000
In November of 1970, The Sun (UK) began posting large pictures of topless glamour models on the third page of its tabloid. Readership soared, as did the practice among other British “news” tabloids. I’m not sure how the women felt about it, but men in England were buying newspapers to see these lovely ladies and, ... Read more

Roper: Climate Action Plan Demands Spend, Spend, Spend!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-07-05 20:00 +0000
’ve spent a lot of time discussing the Clean Heat Standard and Cap & Invest proposals to meet the mandates of the Global Warming Solutions Act, and have noted often but perhaps too obscurely in passing that even these monumentally expensive and disruptive programs won’t, on their own, do the job. Other programs, each with ... Read more

The company that makes Jaguars today isn’t the same as the one that founded it. The brand has been around for a century, having been owned by Ford Motor Company for a while, and then by Tata Motors.

Cardello: Proposed Bill Is Right And Will Push Democrats Over The Edge

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-07-05 14:00 +0000
A new bill gaining momentum in Washington is absolutely the right thing to do for America, but it will cause an uproar on the Left for so many reasons. First, the bill is sponsored by Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is probably the second most hated person in America, by the Left, after Donald Trump, ... Read more

The World Health Organization is being very upfront about a problem it is having. Funding for Sustainable Development Goals is in decline.

Cardello: Democrats Do Not Legislate, Instead They Lie

Granite Grok - Fri, 2025-07-04 18:00 +0000
I will concede that politicians are not a trustworthy breed. They lie about their past to enhance their present. Ask Senator Dick Bluementhal (D-CT) about his tour in Vietnam. They distort their party affiliation to make themselves attractive to more people. Ask Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York City, who says ... Read more
