Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid

ICE is among us, no badges, no uniforms. Bad things will happen. 

P.S. Measles. 

It's Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm Night! I HATE Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm Night!

April 23, 2025 — Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid

Roxanne is back and taking no prisoners in this fiery episode of Head-ON. She opens with a satirical “prayer meeting” roasting right-wing religious theatrics, including Paula White’s submissive marriage comments, which she hilariously dubs “Christian kink.”

She then dives into Trump’s shocking Easter egg roll stunt—yes, he showed kids a collectible card of his own alleged assassination attempt—and she doesn't hold back on Snopes’ flubbed fact-checking.

She also tears into Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for botching federal disaster relief and spotlights a disturbing push for an autism registry led by “Whalehead Dead-Bear Brainworm” (RFK Jr., if you're wondering), who’s spreading misinformation about autism, vaccines, and trans kids.

The episode closes with a powerful call from listener Trace, who shares her activism in California and confronts racism, welfare policy, and the challenges facing the trans community.

All this, plus blistering commentary on male fragility, creeping authoritarianism, and the ever-growing need for resistance.

🎧 Sharp, unapologetic, and deeply human—this is Head-ON.

2. Local West Virginia Issues and the "Brain Drain":

• A power outage caused by an exploding transformer disrupted the previous night's upload.
• Roxanne strongly criticizes the "brain drain" in West Virginia, where young people leave the state due to a lack of opportunities, leading to a "MAGAT legislature...comprised almost exclusively of mediocre white men."
• She mocks the state government's enthusiasm for a new data center powered by an "all of the above" energy policy that excludes wind, solar, and hydro, calling it "the least of possible."
• The episode highlights a contrast between this approach and a Wayne County school superintendent's initiative to use solar panels for significant cost savings.
• Roxanne reports on a bill introduced by Senator Craig Hart that would hinder such initiatives, quoting Hart: "If you're not getting a better deal, I don't see any reason for them to be in that contract. I don't think think a school is a good place to make a political statement about your utilities and whatnot?"
• Senator Scott Fuller is also quoted opposing green energy for schools, stating, "Well, it just seems to me that we're doing something that's counterproductive for the state of West Virginia. If we let them schools use the green energy, we're fighting ourselves."
• The bill thankfully did not pass the rules committee.

3. Commentary on Right-Wing Politics and Hypocrisy:

• The source of the quote will be revealed on May 1st. The quote itself is: "Men who look upon themselves born to reign and others to obey soon grow insolent. Selected from the rest of mankind, their minds are early poisoned by importance, and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."

5. Proposed Cuts to LGBTQ Suicide Prevention Services:

• Roxanne expresses outrage over a leaked Health and Human Services budget draft that proposes eliminating services for LGBTQ youth on the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline (988).
• She cites statistics highlighting the higher suicide risk among LGBTQ youth.
• Paulo Delveio is quoted: "Here we are cutting off the nation's lifeline to those in crisis due to the discriminatory practices of the Trump administration. They're pulling that life preserver away from thousands and thousands of people."
• Roxanne sarcastically portrays potential interactions on the hotline if these cuts occur, emphasizing the cruelty and lack of support for LGBTQ individuals in crisis.
• She quotes Sir Jansen Woo from The Trevor Project, who worries about the consequences: "I worry deeply that we'll see more LGBTQ young people reach a crisis state and not have anyone there to help them through that. I worry that LGBTQ young people will reach out to 988 and not receive a compassionate and welcoming voice on the other end. And that will only deepen their crisis."
• Roxanne labels those behind the cuts as "cruel monsters."

6. The Pete Hegseth Controversy:

• The show discusses reports of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sharing sensitive military plans with unauthorized individuals.

• Alyssa Farah Griffin highlights Hegseth's lack of qualifications and experience.
• The hosts of "The View" draw parallels between Hegseth's actions and past criticisms of others by Trump and Hegseth himself regarding the handling of classified information. Hegseth in 2016 is quoted as saying any security professional "would be fired on the spot" for such conduct.

7. Earth Day and Environmental Policy under Trump:

• On Earth Day, Roxanne reports on hundreds of EPA staff members receiving "walk-in papers" (layoff notices).
• She mentions Administrator Lee Zeldon's statement about putting a "dagger through the heart of climate change."

• Roxanne sarcastically reads a White House statement claiming that Trump's environmental policy is "rooted in reality" and has authored "the cleanest air and water in the world for generations," offering a cynical West Virginian perspective.
• She criticizes Trump's promotion of carbon capture, "sound forest management," and his focus on ending the "forced use of paper straws" while simultaneously weakening environmental regulations.
• The host mocks Trump's concern for wildlife in relation to wind turbines, sarcastically suggesting "spotted owl sushi" at their base.

Conclusion:

The April 22, 2025, episode of "Head-On Radio" provided a critical and often humorous commentary on a wide array of current events. Key themes included the political landscape under the Trump administration, particularly concerning environmental policy, LGBTQ rights, and corporate influence; local issues and the challenges facing West Virginia; and the importance of community and listener support for independent media. The episode was marked by Roxanne's sharp wit, passionate advocacy, and direct engagement with her audience.

Oof. The transformer near the mansion blew up last night, hence the late download.

This briefing document summarizes the main themes, important ideas, and facts discussed on the April 21, 2025 episode of the Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid. The show, broadcasting live from West Virginia, covered a wide range of topics including the death of Pope Francis, the theft of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi "Hotmama" Noem's purse, the White House's reported efforts to increase birth rates among American women, the rise of right-wing extremism, and various listener interactions and personal anecdotes.

1. Death of Pope Francis and Succession Speculation:

• Timing and Context: The episode begins with Roxanne commenting on the sudden death of Pope Francis shortly after his meeting with Vice President "Guyliner Shady JD" (JD Vance). This proximity in time leads to sarcastic speculation, fueled by the online community, about Vance's potential role in the Pope's demise. Roxanne jokes, echoing online sentiment, that the Pope "promptly expired like what the old priest in the exorcist."
• Pope's Legacy and Potential Successors: Roxanne acknowledges Pope Francis's progressive stances, noting his declaration that "gender ideology [is] the greatest threat to humanity on the planet," a statement Roxanne finds alarming. She discusses listener, Flavio's point that Pope Francis appointed a significant majority (around 80%) of the current College of Cardinals, suggesting they might not elect a far-right successor. Roxanne hopes for someone with even more compassion than Francis.
• Vance's Meeting and Reactions: The meeting between Vance and the Pope on Easter Sunday is described, with Vance's words reportedly inaudible in Vatican recordings. Roxanne draws a parallel between one of Jesus Christ's last interactions being with Pontius Pilate and Pope Francis's meeting with Vance. She also notes the initial snub of Vance by the Vatican and the hasty rearrangement of the meeting, suggesting the Pope might have agreed to the meeting despite poor health to "mark Shady JD that way."
• Right-Wing Reactions to Pope's Death: Roxanne highlights negative reactions from some right-wing figures following the Pope's death, including questioning his place in the afterlife due to his progressive stances on social issues and immigration. Figures like Gina Louden are quoted questioning if the Pope was "in line with biblical teaching," implying doubt about his salvation.

2. Theft of Homeland Security Secretary's Purse:

• Details of the Incident: Roxanne details the theft of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi "Hotmama" Noem's purse from a restaurant in DC. The purse contained government access credentials, DHS badge, passport, driver's license, medication, apartment keys, makeup bag, and blank checks. Notably, her phone was not in the purse.
• Kat's "Who Carries $3,000 in Cash?" Challenge: The presence of $3,000 in cash in the Secretary's purse becomes a significant point of discussion, leading listener Kat to issue a $300 matching challenge to raise funds for the show. Roxanne and listeners express disbelief and amusement at the amount of cash, with CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Evan Gold quoted saying, "'Who carries $3,000 in cash except criminals?'"
• Fundraising Efforts: Roxanne actively promotes Kat's challenge and the show's overall funding deficit, which stood at $2,300 at the beginning of the segment. Later in the show, she announces that Kat's challenge has been met by a "kind anonymous internet friend," reducing the deficit to $1,700.
• Right-Wing Commentary on the Theft: Roxanne shares various right-wing reactions to the incident, often mocking the Secretary's competence and questioning her security. Mike Harvey, a political strategist, is quoted saying, "'All that cosplaying a badass and she can't protect her own bag. How's she supposed to protect the homeland?'"

3. White House Assessment of Ways to Persuade Women to Have More Children:

• "Great Replacement Theory" Context: Roxanne frames this initiative within the context of the "great replacement theory," the white supremacist belief that white people are being replaced by non-white populations due to lower birth rates. She criticizes the administration as a "white supremacist administr maladministration" deeply invested in this ideology.
• Proposed Policies: Roxanne outlines several reported proposals aimed at increasing birth rates among (presumably white) American women, including:
• Reserving 30% of Fulbright scholarships for married individuals or those with children.
• A $5,000 cash "baby bonus" for every American mother after delivery.
• Programs that educate women on their menstrual cycles. Roxanne sarcastically questions the administration's understanding of women's reproductive knowledge.
• A national "Medal of Motherhood" for women who have six or more children, specifically targeting married, preferably white, cisgender, and Christian mothers.
• Criticism and Historical Parallels: Roxanne vehemently criticizes these proposals, drawing parallels to Nazi Germany's "Lebensborn" program, which encouraged "genetically superior" births. She shares a story about her great-grandmother's desperate reaction to her 13th pregnancy, highlighting the historical burden placed on women for reproduction. Emma Waters of the Heritage Foundation is quoted explicitly stating the goal is "not just more babies, but more families formed, more good white, cisgender, straight Christian families."
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): The article in the New York Times also mentions a forthcoming report on making IVF more available and affordable. Roxanne contrasts this with the broader pronatalist agenda, suggesting the latter is driven by the "great replacement theory" rather than genuine support for all families.

4. Rise of Right-Wing Extremism:

• Florida State University Shooting: Roxanne discusses the shooting incident involving 20-year-old Phoenix Ickner, the stepson of a Florida sheriff's deputy. She notes the immediate attempts by the "MAGAT internet" to misidentify him as trans, leftist, Antifa, or Black, before establishing that he was a white male.
• Ickner's Extremist Views: Roxanne reveals Ickner's deeply entrenched right-wing extremist beliefs, including:
• Belief in the stolen election.
• Defense of Rosa Parks being "in the wrong."
• Belief that "blacks had ruined his neighborhood."
• Fascination with Nazis, including a profile photo depicting Hitler and an online handle referencing the SS ("Schutzstaffel").
• Support for scientific racism, the Confederate flag, and Patriot Front.
• Law Enforcement Inaction: Roxanne criticizes the Leon County Sheriff's Department for allowing Ickner to remain part of their Youth Advisory Council despite his known extremist views. Sheriff McNeel's statement about the tragedy being unfathomable from a law enforcement perspective is met with Roxanne's sarcastic retort about the department seemingly not noticing "a young Nazi in your midst."
• Broader Concerns: Roxanne connects this incident to the larger issue of the crossover between right-wing extremism and the glorification of violence.

5. Personal Anecdotes and Listener Interactions:

• Weather and Personal Life: Roxanne shares anecdotes about recent thunderstorms in West Virginia and a brief but terrifying microburst near her partner Victoria's apartment. She also recounts a painful experience of being stung multiple times by a wasp and her "hillbilly" first aid response using tobacco.
• Gratitude to Contributors: Roxanne expresses sincere gratitude to listeners who have contributed financially to the show, specifically naming Tracy, Reverbbo, Dr. John, and Darlene. She highlights the ongoing funding deficit and encourages further contributions.
• Health Update and Upcoming Absence: Roxanne provides an update on her post-surgery healing, noting lingering numbness but overall positive progress. She announces that she will be absent from the show on Monday and Tuesday of the following week (April 28th and 29th) for a seven-week post-op checkup in North Carolina.
• Listener Calls and Interactions: Roxanne engages in lively conversations with listeners Dave and others, discussing topics ranging from potential replacements for Pope Francis to personal anecdotes and humorous observations. The conversations often veer into tangential but entertaining territory.

6. Broader Political and Social Commentary:

• Comparison of Russia and the US: Roxanne draws a parallel between Russia's conscription tactics, where non-Russian nationals are offered citizenship in exchange for fighting in Ukraine or face deportation, and the US's approach to immigration.
• Criticism of Bill Maher: Roxanne expresses her disgust with Bill Maher's recent dinner with Donald Trump, finding his seemingly softened stance on Trump "sickening." She shares a satirical piece by Larry David published in the New York Times, titled "My Dinner with Adolf," which serves as a biting critique of Maher's approach.
• Legal Actions Against the Trump Administration: Roxanne notes Harvard University's lawsuit against the Trump administration over threatened cuts to research funding and the Justice Department's approval for Leon Scum to access an immigration database.
• Student Loan Garnishment: Roxanne highlights a report about the Trump administration preparing to resume wage garnishment for student loan borrowers, calling it "unnecessarily cruel and unproductive."
• Efforts to Remove Gender Dysphoria Protections: Roxanne discusses the Trump administration's moves to remove gender dysphoria from protections under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, opening the door to discrimination against transgender individuals. She emphasizes the solidarity between disability justice advocates and the trans community in opposing these efforts.

Key Quotes:

• Roxanne Kincaid on Pope Francis's death: "I think he looked into the eyes of the egg and saw exactly who Shady JD is and promptly expired like what the old priest and the exorcist or something."
• Pope Francis on gender ideology: "[declared] gender ideology to be the greatest threat to humanity on the planet."
• CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Evan Gold on Kristi "Hotmama" Noem's cash: "'Who carries $3,000 in cash except criminals?'"
• Mike Harvey on the Secretary's security lapse: "'All that cosplaying a badass and she can't protect her own bag. How's she supposed to protect the homeland?'"
• Emma Waters (Heritage Foundation) on birth rates: "'Our ultimate goal is not just more babies, but more families formed, more good white, cisgender, straight Christian families.'"
• Lucas Luzietti on FSU shooter Phoenix Ickner: "'I got into arguments with him in class over how gross the things he said were... I remember thinking this man should not have access to firearms, but what are you supposed to do?'"
• Larry David in his satire: "Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one I'd seen and heard, the public Hitler. But this private Hitler was a completely different animal. And Oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler."
• Gina Louden on Pope Francis's afterlife: "I don't know that I'm so sure about where the Pope is today. I don't know that holding a title necessarily ushers you into the arms of Jesus."
• Father Gerald Murray (Fox News) on Pope Francis: "He had blessing of gay couples. He had divorced and remarried people getting communion. These are things that no pope had ever done."
• Wall Street Journal editorial board on Pope Francis: "Alas, Pope Francis believed ideologies that keep the poor in poverty. One of those earthly dogmas is radical environmentalism... He didn't seem to realize that escaping poverty requires greater energy consumption and then said he was anti-American."
• Pope Francis on mass deportations: "The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality... The act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution, or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men and women and of entire families and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness."

This episode of the Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid provides a snapshot of contemporary political and social anxieties, filtered through Roxanne's sharp wit, and progressive perspective. The discussion highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding political ideologies, social justice issues, and the perceived rise of right-wing extremism in the United States and globally. The personal anecdotes and listener interactions add a layer of community and relatability to the often heavy topics discussed.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is apparently alive.

There goes history rhyming again! Poisonous trees produce poisonous fruit. Congressman celebrates in front of a concentration camp cell, recalling the infamy of Abu Ghraib. The U.S. crosses the halfway mark on measles. Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm claims there aren't any "71 year olds" with autism. 

Ever watched a pressure cooker get hotter? I have. It's scary. Madness runs rampant. The Courts are hammering Nitwit Nero on the daily (today it was the 4th Circuit, once one of the most conservative circuits in the country). A wee, tiny few Republicans are finding their voices, even if they squeak. 

Make no mistake, though, the ForProfit Media are still who we thought they were. But credit where it's due: Leon Skum is "a weirdo," although I make a strong case for "creep." Speaking of creeps, let's go back to FloriDUH, where the sound of gunfire shattered the sunny day at Florida State. Two dead, and a white, male, REPUBLICAN Christian murdered the whole universe for two innocent human beings . . . and we haven't even gotten to the creep, yet.

WARNING: massive amounts of Law Nerdery (which actually turns out to be kinda important) ahead. The Constitution is still alive, even if it's coughing up blood on the stoop. Too, also: Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm lets his Eugenics out to play. Target: Autistic kids. 

Fingers crossed! The H.O.R.N. Brain Trust may have solved the crazy file size problem. Please let me know. 

Chuckles Grassley gets an earful in Iowa. Our betters say "I told you so" to the MAGATS trashing immigration law. B-T-W: there's a difference between "scare" and "terrorize." ICE kidnaps another innocent . . . an NYC teenager who fled Venezuela with his daddy. He's in El Shitholador now. Judge Xinis grows impatient with pettifogging DoJ pettifoggers. And a discussion arises about the ideological purity of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  

The funding deficit is getting bad. Halfway through April, and almost the entire month is unfunded. The program is, and always is free, but it does take money to pay the bills. Can you help one of the oldest independent progressive broadcasts stay afloat?

Bill Maher, Moran. Shinable Centrist. "Donald Trump's insane, but he was nice to me." Ol' Balls n' Strikes gets his nose rubbed in it and licks his lip for extra flavor. For-Profit Media finally twigs to the Constitutional Crisis we're in. 

How're you feeling? In the midst of all this insanity, a check-in matters. 

Fascism is HERE. It;s all over the news like bedbugs. 

Independent Progressive Broadcasting, meanwhile, hangs by a thread. Really.
