Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 7, 2025

On this edition of Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid, Roxanne delivers three fierce hours of truth-telling, political critique, and sharp-tongued humor from a proudly liberal, Appalachian transbilly perspective. Broadcasting live amid a personal health scare and ongoing fundraising efforts, she pulls no punches while skewering what she repeatedly calls the “Nitwit Nero,” “Orange Julius Geezer,” and MAGAT administration.

Main topics include:

Authoritarianism & Abuse of Power: Roxanne tears into the administration’s deportation plans to countries like Libya and Rwanda, calling them a “slave trade” enabled by Pentagon funds and blatant human rights violations. She highlights federal judges pushing back against misuse of the Alien Enemies Act, particularly rulings from Judges Sweeney, Rodriguez, and Murphy.

Religious Grift & Hypocrisy: With fire aimed at “Christian grifters” like Jim Bakker, Roxanne slams the prosperity gospel as a con. Bakker’s demand for $1,000 donations, while his ministry faces foreclosure, exemplifies the cynical monetization of faith. Religious bigotry and antisemitism, especially targeting Jewish politicians like Gov. JB Pritzker, are called out directly.

Sanctuary Cities & Counter-Trolling: The administration’s war on sanctuary cities gets spotlighted during a visit by “Secretary HotMama” to Illinois, met with brilliant shade from Pritzker’s team. The trolling press release earns Roxanne’s praise for mocking cosplay law enforcement antics and dodgy constitutional respect.

Attacks on LGBTQ+ Health: The MAGAT administration’s cancellation of $800M+ in LGBTQ+ health research—including HIV prevention—is called a cruel erasure of queer communities from public health priorities.

SNAP Restrictions in Louisiana: Gov. Jeff Landry’s ban on buying candy or soda with food stamps, part of his “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, is framed as a thinly veiled assault on the poor, diabetics, and public dignity.

World Cup Chaos Ahead: With mega-events looming, Roxanne calls out the US’s crumbling infrastructure and visa backlogs, warning that MAGAT mismanagement could embarrass the nation on the world stage.

Spying on Allies: A Wall Street Journal exposé alleging US intel is spying on Greenland and Denmark stirs outrage. Denmark's Foreign Minister calls it a betrayal; Roxanne sees it as more MAGAT overreach in pursuit of imperial fantasies.

Media & Democratic Infighting: Roxanne roasts millionaire pundits and centrist Dems who bash Biden while ignoring MAGAT extremism. In her view, limousine liberals and profit-hungry networks are fueling division.

Judicial Win in NC: There’s a glimmer of hope as right-wing Judge Jefferson Griffin drops a bid to toss overseas ballots, clearing the way for Justice Allison Riggs' certified victory. Roxanne hails it as democracy fighting back.

Additional highlights:

Roxanne prepares for a CT scan in Durham and may launch a GoFundMe.

The show faces a $968 fundraising gap and depends on listener support.

A racist woman in Minnesota raises money on GiveSendGo—proof, Roxanne says, that hate still sells in MAGAT America.

Pritzker signs an executive order protecting autism-related data.

A 1972 Soviet satellite is falling back to Earth (location unknown).

The Trump admin allegedly dismantled a key CDC infection control committee.

Rumors swirl about MAGAT Surgeon General pick Casey Mean, a “wellness influencer.”

Tone: Blunt, biting, and unfiltered, with moments of gallows humor and sharp satire. Roxanne blends grassroots outrage with deep concern for democracy, human rights, and community. Her message: resist the fascism, expose the grifters, support the truth.
