Cliff H

So, introductions. Hi, my name is Cliff. I’m a US migrant living in NZ for nearly 25 years now. As you can tell from my profile pic, I have more than a passing interest in bass (almost 38 years) and I also have more than a passing interest in photography. Stay tuned for music as well. Enjoy!!

What do all these corporations have in common? Nvidia Apple Google Lockheed Martin Microsoft Palantir They all donated at least $10 million to Trump’s vanity ballroom — and they all stand to benefit from his policies. Is this Trump’s most corrupt grift yet?

The Donald J. Trump ballroom is basically a deposit box for bribes. A secret donor list obtained by the Washington Post confirms it. Those partaking in this cesspool of corruption should be very worried about the consequences they could face in the (near) future. #vote youtube.com/shorts/6_tgu...

Twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred stock trades while Trump sits in the Oval Office. Mark Kelly has made zero in six years in the Senate. Trump wants rules for everyone else, just not for the family getting richer while your grocery bill keeps climbing. #TrumpsAbuseOfPower #Pinks ⭐️

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Say it louder: Social Security doesn't add a dime to the deficit. It's funded by its own dedicated payroll tax — money working people earn with every paycheck. So when politicians talk about "cutting Social Security to reduce the deficit," they're not being fiscally responsible.

This bird had food to spare, so it fed a hungry rat instead of fighting it off

Tarrant County’s Joe Walker spoke against reducing polling locations and didn’t hold back. 🔥 “When people try to take away our right to vote in America, they start looking like enemies domestic. I’m talking to you comrades.” Judge Tim O’Hare: “Did he say what I thought?” Yes. He did. #SheShed

I'm shocked.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

OMG yes! 🎯🎯🎯

14 year old gymnast Kaleb just landed a standing double backflip on grass, no runway, no mat. Only three people on Earth have ever pulled this off.

They are killing nature with their data center. They can't be allowed to continue.

And yet, still not as stupid that those who voted for him.

It’s like we’re living in a monarchy. One member of the family dies and the next in line gets put into power in our government? This is so wrong.

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

I mean Stephen King would have come up with something way better than that shite, but in general...yeah.

If you were cool with this, you can shove that "Happy Independence Day" up your ass.

If Universal had given David Lynch five hours over two movies to do Dune Part 1 in 1984 and Part 2 in 1987, we would never have stopped talking about it. This movie was such a shockingly beautiful disaster...

😂

So, for the past 15 or so years I’ve been toying with the idea of buying one of the basses you see me holding in this photo. This is a Kala UBass (ukulele bass). They are ukuleles in the bass register that have a unique sound and are fun to play. This is how I keep my sanity. Music.

Wounda the chimp hugged Jane Goodall for minutes before walking back into the wild. After years of rescue and rehab, this was her goodbye.

What the heck is going on here? ABC7 is my local station. It isn’t a partisan network, it’s where millions of Angelenos get local news and alerts. So why is the FCC putting its broadcast license under an unusually early review years before it was due? @agomezfcc.bsky.social

ANY other President would have been removed, disgraced, and castigated.

Many of us have been saying this for years.
