Greetings! Protestors angered by illegal immigration took to the highways yesterday in a three-day publicity stunt to push Washington for more secure southern borders. Three convoys, which will end in rallies in Texas and Arizona, began rolling across the nation under the banner of the Take Our Border Back organization. While the group’s website emphasizes a “peaceful assembly and prayer,” the copy suggests they are inviting a gun-loving crowd: “Calling all active & retired law enforcement and military, Veterans, Mama Bears, elected officials, business owners, ranchers, truckers, bikers, media and LAW ABIDING, freedom-loving Americans.” And one of the sponsors of the convoy is Loaded Gun Coffee…Speaking of the immigration crisis, Live Border News is the latest right wing outfit that I’ve come across. Dept. of No Surprise: Live Border News, is a convoy sponsor too…A bizarre Foxnews.com op-ed by Reagan White House alum Doug MacKinnon suggests that Kurt Russell should essentially run Disney, which MacKinnon says has lost its way. “Russell did – and does – know the mindset of Walt Disney as well as his values,” MacKinnon wrote. “More than that, Russell is a libertarian who would bring common sense, pragmatic and non-political thinking and creativity back to Disney”…Dennis Prager of Townhall urges readers not to fly on United Airlines because of the company’s lofty goal of making half of its new pilots people of color in the next ten years…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
