Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid

Moran Monday! BUT HER EMAILS rears its ugly head once again, thanks to a Reagan appointee. Coronavirus carries a hefty financial wallop. Infectee goes walkabout in San Antonio. Pete, Amy, and Tom all bail. Pence leads a prayer circle of old, white men to stop COVID-19. Chris Matthews bids adieu after a long career as a creepy old dude. Also: bonus possum!

Friday-on-the-Front-Porch, COVID Edition.

Guess who's in charge of keeping the scientists muzzled? You won't like it, but you won't be surprised. A country with no real regard for people who can't go to the doctor when they're sick can't be expected to handle a pandemic with any degree of competence. Let's be clear: we face the harvest of a hateful crop the for-profit healthcare executives have sown for decades and 38%-ish of Murkkka is vibrating near a fever pitch . . . and they have a ton of guns.

CoronaCare. Is anyone else thinking about it outside our little far-sighted community? What will happen to the babies in our concentration camps when COVID-19 reaches them?

Who knew a respiratory virus could make a stock market so sick? Let the bungling commence. Navy ships in the Pacific under 14-day quarantine. Japan closes schools. QAnon MAGAT blames Great Britain for trying to "take out the Trump economy." HHS Health personnel were sent into contact with potential virus carriers at California Air Force bases with neither training nor appropriate gear. At least one person went back to a hotel every night and then flew home from California on a commercial jetliner. Health official muzzled by Trump Regime. This is working out well . . .

Prayer Meetin' Wednesday, Coronavirus edition. The Gospel Sharps are busy figuring out their n-COVID angles. Pray it away? TELL the Eternal what to do? Graphics-as-vaccine? West Virginia moves to make "Biblical History" (a contradiction in terms) a permissible class in public schools. Nitwit Nero holds a press conference. Only the MAGATS will buy into the con.

Want to help keep independent liberal, progressive radio on the air? It's pretty easy!

Dam-draining in California, versus damnation in Appalachia. Guess who loses? Health officials warn the U.S. isn't ready for the Coronavirus. Nitwit Nero says everything is fine, but it doesn't jibe with his hissy over Ebola in 2014. How do we know he won't take the $2.5 BN for nCOVID and spend it on his stupid wall?

Come one, come all who walk or crawl to Moran Monday! Tweety seeks a historical comparison, fails moranically. Nitwit Nero embarrasses the U.S. in India; crowds walk out as he mangles their country, history, and heritage. Chrissie Hynde tweets at Trump for a pardon for Assange (which had already been offered). At The Movies with Bob & Agnes as we watched "Gone With the Wind" through the lens of Julius Geezer pining for it last week on Twitter. It's sobering to realize that two of Hollywood's most profound examples of cinematographic art in the first half of the 20th century were paeans to white supremacy.

It's a short broadcast week as we bring February to its merciful end. We've got $945 to raise between now and the end of Wednesday's program, since I'll be away from the mic to go and visit with Mike, Kathy, and Molly Malloy. If you'd like to help out, please click this here linky so we can finish February even.

The mass murderer in Germany was a Trump fan . . . because of course. What did the Framers say about a President who would use the pardon power to protect a criminal crony? Virginia MAGAT takes his gun to town and threatens a broadcast colleague from years back. Greyhound to ICE & CBP: "Get off the damned bus!" We're living in a live-action Pink Floyd album.

Oh, that smarts! Roger Stone sentenced; will likely never see a day in jail. Aftermath of Las Vegas Pageant leaves Bloomberg in a heap, but still with a heap of cash. Amy Klobuchar gets savaged both by Warren and Pete. And now we find out Nitwit Nero ran off his last acting DNI because he obeyed the law and briefed Congress, telling them that Mother Russia is still trying to meddle in the election in favor of Julius Geezer. Thursday night in Colorado, he said he'd leave office "in 26 years."

Glory! Peter had a sword, but preachers have GUNS. Catholic kids have better morals than their Bishop. Nazi preacher says trans people are Zionist tools. These are the beating heart of the GOP. P.S. Another case of presidential bribery, an impeachable offense to everyone save Republicans.

Titanic Tuesday meets "Day of the Dirtbags." Nitwit Nero pardons or commutes sentences of people who did the same kind of shady crap he does on the daily. Perfect timing: journal publishes report of excavation into an English  mass grave from the Plague. Tom Cotton: dangerous idiot. Bankrupt Boy Scouts. Because child rape. Alleged intellectual thinks we can frack our way out of the Climate Emergency.
