GM Bets Next 20 Years on China, Three Years After NLPC Warned Shareholders

Coca-Cola Hands Its Brand to Machines Again; Keeps Getting Burned
In February 2015, a gossip website turned Coca-Cola's Super Bowl campaign into a Hitler quote generator. The campaign was called #MakeItHappy. Coke built a program that took mean tweets and redrew the words as cheerful ASCII art — a puppy, a smiley face, a pirate...

Kempczinski Got a Raise; McDonald’s U.S. President Gets the Boot
When McDonald's U.S. business disappoints, someone answers for it. In the second quarter of 2026, that someone was Joe Erlinger. McDonald's beat Wall Street's earnings expectations Tuesday — adjusted EPS of $3.38 topped the $3.32 forecast — but the underlying U.S....

Why Did Mangione’s Murder Charge Become ‘Stalking’?

That Was Quick: NY Bar Bounces Complaint Against E. Jean Carroll’s Lawyer

Soros’ $30 Million Campaign for False Moral Equivalence

Omar Says She is Broke in New Filing; ‘She Can’t Keep Her Story Straight’
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has filed her financial disclosure form for 2025. It confirms what we have believed all along, that her husband Tim Mynett’s two businesses are failures, a far cry from her original 2024 disclosure report showing that they were worth between $6...
Will Billionaire (and Soros Ally) Tom Steyer Control California?

NLPC INVESTIGATES
THE BILLIONAIRES DESTROYING AMERICA
We are pulling back the curtain on the billionaires bankrolling our nation’s division and chaos.
Why do the biggest beneficiaries of capitalism fund Marxists? Why do the wealthy, who have gotten rich because of the rule of law and orderly markets, support anarchists and activists who would tear it all down?
The answer is simple. They seek to buy off the forces that would question the morality of their wealth. It is a cowardly and shortsighted strategy. To save our country, the rest of us must make sure that they fail!
Senior Fellow Carl F. Horowitz researches and writes about the so-called Open Society Foundations, with assets of $25 billion, funded by George Soros and now managed by his son, Alex Soros.
Senior Fellow Dr. Steven J. Allen follows the Gates Foundation, formerly the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, funded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Combined with a related entity, the Gates Foundation Trust, its assets total $163 billion.
Our staff also tracks LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who has dumped $200 million in politics and activism since 2012. Hoffman’s funding of “law fare,” political dirty tricks, and false-flag operations, demonstrates his recklessness and disdain for democratic norms.
