"The @NationalCenter for Public Policy Research — a regular proponent of anti-ESG shareholder proposals — called the changes to shareholder proposal rules “short-sighted.”

“The allegedly ‘free market’ commissioners at the SEC have proposed to lock in left-wing shareholder activist gains and leave pro-free enterprise shareholder activists to the tender mercies of corporate management-loving state laws,” Steve Milloy, director of NCPPR’s @FreeEntProject said in a statement Thursday."

We're demanding answers from major banks and utilities about #China-made equipment potentially being purchased, financed or used in America’s energy infrastructure.

This isn’t just about business. It’s about national security—and whether equipment made by our greatest adversary has a place in the infrastructure Americans depend on every day.

The federal government is taking action. Now corporate America needs to answer: What China-made equipment is in your supply chain—and what are you doing about it?

The Securities and Exchange Commission is stepping back from the shareholder proposal process, and Free Enterprise Project Executive Director Steve Milloy warns that the change could stifle efforts on the right to bring corporations back to neutral.

Steve told the Financial Times that the decision effectively “locks in the left’s gains” after years of progressive groups using shareholder proposals to advance social and political agendas.

Kudos to President Trump for his Executive order banning Communist China-made equipment from our power grid. Now we'll see if it is actually implemented by our always lame government agencies and corrupt utilities. https://t.co/SVdwdcIafC

"The supposedly free-market-oriented commissioners at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission just announced an extension of last year’s policy giving corporate managements a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card on shareholder proposals," writes Free Enterprise Project Executive Director Steve Milloy at RealClearMarkets.

"The left-wing activist shareholders are perfectly okay with this. They have already captured control of corporate managements and large institutional investors. Imagine the shareholder battle as a game of musical chairs. The Trump SEC has suddenly stopped the music. Free-market and conservative shareholder activists have no place to sit. They are out of the game."

“America needs a federal law that prohibits the intentional killing of viable unborn children — plainly stated, a federal prohibition on child homicide,” writes Curtis Hill at Daily Caller.

"Massachusetts now joins a small group of states and the District of Columbia that have abandoned objective protections for the unborn after viability. These jurisdictions now allow a distinct, living human being — capable of surviving outside the womb — to be deliberately destroyed under the elastic label of 'professional judgment.'

"…When the state removes statutory guardrails and substitutes an unreviewable standard that permits ending a viable child’s life, it has moved beyond the privacy-versus-life debate. It is, in substance, the state-sanctioned killing of a viable unborn child — what should rightly be understood as child homicide."

The Trump @SECGov is working to lock in left-wing activist investor gains by attempting to end the shareholder activist game now:

1. After decades of shareholder activism, left-wing/ESG investors have gained control of many, if not most, large US corporations.

2. Corporate managements may not talk much now in the Trump era about ESG issues like climate and DEI, but they have not renounced them either and can't wait to roll them out again when Trump is gone.

3. By denying free market/free enterprise supporters the right to challenge and pressure captured corporate managements through shareholder activism, left-wing control is being locked in for the foreseeable future, if not for good.

4. Keep in mind the left wants to control big corporations so they can use their resources and influence to advance the left-wing political agenda.

5. In a perfect world, there would be no shareholder activism outside of that natural and necessary to keep companies profitable. But we don't live in that world. We live in the world where the left has hijacked corporations for political purposes and there is an ongoing struggle to return management focus to business and not politics. Trump's SEC commissioners have yet to grasp that.

China currently dominates the global supply chain, and “these vulnerabilities did not emerge by accident,” writes former Indiana Attorney General Curtis T. Hill, Jr., who now serves with the Free Enterprise Project and Project 21.

“They are the result of decades of decisions that prioritized short-term profits over long-term security, embraced one-sided ‘free trade’ relationships without ensuring reciprocity or national security guardrails, and underestimated the risks of dependence on a strategic adversary.”

Communist China's aggression against its neighbors is no longer episodic:

"The evidence is increasingly difficult to miss. Japan has launched its largest postwar defense buildup, finalizing military-access agreements with Australia and the Philippines. India, traditionally reluctant to align with any great power, is expanding military exercises and arms exports to regional partners. Taiwan has committed billions to harden its military, civil defense and critical infrastructure against Chinese blockade or invasion. Even Southeast Asian governments with differing views of Beijing are expanding joint maritime patrols to counter incursions and defend their sovereignty...

"Under leader Xi Jinping, Beijing has combined military pressure on Taiwan, maritime coercion against Japan and the Philippines, and economic retaliation against other neighbors. Isolated disputes increasingly look like a broader campaign to bend the region to China’s will."

As my followers know, the @FreeEntProject has petitioned the SEC to compel companies to take seriously the China supply chain threat. Some companies have moved manufacturing out of China to nearby countries, e.g., India, Vietnam etc. But China's hegemonic goals will render these moves futile when push comes to shove. https://t.co/esa8hshMb1
