This is a slang that means something is coming from all directions. If things are coming in "left, right and center" they are definitely serious.
The expression comes from the military. In military terms on the battle field the commanders are concerned with getting "flanked" and have to be concerned with the strongest point of attack. When faced with an overwhelming attack which would see the opposition basically over running the defending unit the defending unit would simply refer to it as coming from "left, right and center" meaning everywhere.

Get the within your rightsmug. When pulling up to an intersection with a red light, the driver pulls into an adjacent parking lot to his right, then pulls through the parking lot, and exits through the other exit, effectively completing a right turn, and avoiding waiting at the light.
Juan was going to pick up some chickens for dinner, and got stuck at red light. To save time, he blew through the gas station parking lot, and made a Mexican right turn

Get the Mexican Right Turnmug. Even if someone might actually be correct, those with power are often able to impose their beliefs on others through force, rather than logical persuasion.
Why did colonists believe that blacks were inferior and manage to convince everyone else that as well?
