Companies doing business in China should disclose supply-chain risks associated with a potential abrupt break in U.S.-China relations, we argued this week in a petition to the SEC:

"U.S. companies have become inextricably entangled and reliant on Communist China, particularly with respect to their supply chains.... A total embargo could have significant, if not catastrophic, impacts.... We are asking the Commission to take action as soon as possible to remedy this situation.”

Washington, D.C. — Companies doing business in China should disclose supply-chain risks associated with a potential abrupt break in U.S.-China relations, argues a new petition submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by the National Center for Public Policy Research.

“We are called Best Buy, but we have the worst management,” Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy will say Friday as he criticizes the company's virtue-signaling against fossil fuels.

“If you look at our board of directors, there is not a single member who seems to have any experience with energy or manufacturing electronics or appliances. No wonder it supports net zero policies. For all it knows, the products we sell are made by elves powered by magic.”

“DICK'S Sporting Goods publicly aligns itself with the spirit of Title IX, which was written to protect biological females. But Dick’s also partners with groups that prioritize males identifying as females ahead of biological females," the Free Enterprise Project's Curtis Hill will say at tomorrow's meeting.

"This creates a clear contradiction."

“I’m old enough to remember when the bombastic boaster Foghorn Leghorn and the compulsive liar Daffy Duck were just cartoon characters. When did they get promoted to be corporate sustainability managers?” Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy will ask Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders tomorrow.

Tomorrow we're taking Google parent company Alphabet to task for failing to include a variety of political viewpoints within its senior leadership.

"Censoring and ignoring viewpoints is bad business. Viewpoint diversity is essential in society and for Alphabet. Living in a viewpoint bubble is dangerous. Reality will pop it every time," says Free Enterprise Project Executive Director Steve Milloy.

"If you go on the Netflix website, you can see the movies and shows that are trending. What’s not trending is Netflix profits. Management apparently expects shareholders to take comfort in its virtue-signaling ESG money pit," says Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy.

Washington, D.C. — At this week's Netflix annual meeting, shareholder activists with the National Center for Public Policy Research's Free Enterprise Project (FEP) will ask the Board to report on the profitability of Netflix's environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments.

“News requires fact-checking," says Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy. "The New York Times allowed Nicholas Kristof, an opinion writer, to sidestep that process and publish these allegations, making them available for others to cite as New York Times reporting.”

Washington, D.C. — The National Center for Public Policy Research, a shareholder of The New York Times Company, has formally demanded access to Times books and records to investigate whether the newspaper's board of directors and senior management adequately fulfilled their fiduciary duties regard...

Beneath the quiet summer sky,
Where rows of marble proudly lie,
The stars and stripes in breezes sway
To mark this hallowed, solemn day.

They answered freedom’s urgent call
And laid down life—the greatest all.
Through stormy seas and foreign lands,
They held the line with steadfast hands.

Not just names upon a stone,
But cherished dreams, futures unknown.
They paid the ultimate, high cost
So liberty would not be lost.

We breathe the air of peace they bought.
We live the victory they sought.
In silent awe, we guard their name,
And feed remembrance's sacred flame.

"Transgenderism 'is a divisive political issue,' said Free Enterprise Project Director Steve Milloy, who adheres to the late economist Milton Friedman's view that a company's primary and only social responsibility is to grow its profits and maximize shareholder returns.

"'The bottom line is it's one of those political issues that companies have no business being in,' Milloy said. 'Just sell sporting goods—that's want people want.'"
