Greetings! Latest Trump cabinet member in the hot seat: Sean Duffy, the ex-reality TV star, who seems to be flying blind in his new role as Secretary of Transportation. Frighteningly, the nation’s air traffic control system appears dysfunctional (Wall Street Journal: America’s Air Traffic Fiasco) and all eyes are on the unqualified Duffy.  Let’s see if right-wing media defends him in the coming days or maybe he gets tossed under the bus by Trump…Dept. of Strange Bedfellows: Far-right podcaster Candace Owens, who has been accused of being an antisemite, has come to the defense of convicted sex offender and former major Democratic supporter Harvey Weinstein.  In Harvey Speaks. a three-part podcast series, Owens maintains the fallen film titan was falsely accused by a corrupt judicial system.  The Free Press has all the convoluted reasoning…Former Tinseltown mogul Bill Mechanic has a powerful op-ed in Deadline blasting Donald Trump’s half-baked tariff plan on so-called foreign-produced films. He writes, “Like so many other harebrained ideas coming out of Washington these days, this one seems spewed out rather than thought through, and it presents a solution that doesn’t solve anything but aims to create headlines and noise as opposed to making things better. It is all part of Trump’s revenge tour. He’s out to destroy anyone or anything that has not bowed at his altar”…Speaking of hare-brained: Conservative thought-leader Rich Lowry opines in the NY Post that making  Alcatraz a deportation holding facility is a terrible idea.  Lowry cites many flaws in the Trump-hatched plan, noting that the notorious island in San Francisco Bay has been a tourist destination longer than it was a prison (it closed when JFK was in the White House)….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
