Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid

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.

🔴 Live weekdays 5–8 PM ET at HeadOn.live.
🎙️ Listener-supported. Fierce. Uncensored. Necessary.

Canadian PM insults Nitwit Nero to his face. Nitwit Nero is too far gone to even understand. Posse Comitatus is dead now. Martial Law on the Southern Border. MAGAT judge notes an American citizen has been deported, then sweetly licks Daddy's boot. Mmmmm, boot! Secretary HotMama gets grilled-n-schooled on Capitol Hill. Workers lose NIOSH protection. Anyone who doesn't speak English loses tornado warnings.

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 5, 2025
“America’s only liberal transbilly elitist” is back with fiery commentary, fundraising updates, listener calls, and blistering takedowns of Trump-world.

Health & Travel: Roxanne shares an emotional update on her recovery from facial surgery, with an early CT scan scheduled at Duke. Facing a possible second surgery, she details her solo travel plans and worries — and underscores why listener support is vital.

Fundraising: May’s goal (to-date) is $550. Kat in Ohio kicks off a $50 matching challenge, joined by Jeremy and Jude. Funds cover show costs and essential travel for medical care.

Stalker Alert: Roxanne reveals disturbing threats from a cisgender woman spewing transphobic vitriol and death wishes. The host, no stranger to hate since her transition, took legal action — now involving the WV State Police. The incident is a raw look at how hate and misogyny collide.

The MAGAT Menagerie:
Trump, aka “Nitwit Nero,” comes under sharp attack for a string of bizarre moments:

• An AI image of himself as the Pope,

• Confusing Harvard with Harlem,

• Misrepresenting Supreme Court rulings,

• Suggesting American kids only need 2 dolls,

• Flubbing Civil Rights Act history,

• Praising his own wall that doesn’t exist.

Roxanne and listeners shred MAGAT lies, from calling Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett “low IQ” to defunding general officers in a Stalinist purge. Also on blast: Marjorie Taylor Greene (the “Trailer Queen”), Pam Bondi (“Pam Blondie”), and their dangerous rhetoric toward judges and migrants. Ryan Goodman joins via clip to analyze the twisted legal maneuvers.

Economy & Reality Check:
Clarence, a trucker and long-time listener, calls in with real-world insight: freight is down, MAGAT hats are disappearing, UPS is laying off workers, and the economy is cracking — especially for small owner-operators. He rips Trump’s empty promises on manufacturing and salutes Kamala Harris for pension protections.

Law, Cops & Queer Bars:
Coverage of a disturbing raid on P-Town Bar in Pittsburgh during a drag show links today’s police overreach to Stonewall and Compton’s Cafeteria. Roxanne sees echoes of the past — but also resilience. The mayor pledges a review, and the queens didn’t back down.

Immigration & Lies:
The administration’s plan to pay undocumented migrants $1,000 to leave is mocked. Rep. Crockett claps back with real data. MAGAT disinfo from Steven Miller gets dismantled.

Pop Culture & Sarcasm:

• A Met Gala mention.

• Snarky reading of People magazine’s puff piece on Caroline Levitt’s May-December marriage.

• Trump’s “human battery” theory of exercise sparks laughs and concern.

• A literary quote from The Great Gatsby becomes this month’s challenge.

Bottom Line:
Resilience, reality, and resistance. Roxanne faces medical hurdles and real threats, but refuses to back down. MAGATs get exposed, listeners show up, and the truth gets a mic.

Two things: the new Canadian Prime Minister says it plain and true, calls out the U.S. for our betrayal of our best friend. It burns. It hurts. It aches like a bum tooth and the shame is sickening. Betrayers. We.Are.BETRAYERS. Let it sink in till the bitter bile rises in disgust. For a palette-cleanser, consider: Nitwit Nero is Barney Fife in the real world. 

So Friday-On-the-Front-Porch has moved to Discord. Join us!

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 2, 2025
This episode of the Roxanne Kincaid Show dives deep into the absurdities of MAGAT politics, global shifts in power, and the fight to preserve progressive values in the face of growing authoritarianism. Roxanne, self-described as a “liberal transbilly elitist,” cusses and discusses the MAGAT embrace of ignorance, American decline, and the urgency of community action.

Key topics include:
– Rep. Mike Collins’s “Halal” hysteria, reacting with bigotry to CHA Street Food replacing Steak 'n Shake in a House office building, likening it to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Roxanne mocks his ignorance of halal/kosher cuisine and South Asian food in general—while noting real crises in Collins’s own district.
– Trump (aka “Nitwit Nero”) butchering history, claiming the Declaration of Independence is about “unity and love,” which Roxanne compares to a Barney Fife-level misunderstanding. Even immigrants passing citizenship tests do better.
– MAGAT voter “Cletus” laments Trump’s economic inaction, showcasing disconnects between MAGAT expectations and Trump’s actions.
– More MAGAT absurdities, from Collins cheering racist chants to Trump demanding a birthday military parade and disrespecting Veterans Day.

Beyond domestic politics, Roxanne discusses:
– Canadian PM Mark Carney declaring the US-led global trade system “over” and lamenting “American betrayal,” signaling waning U.S. global relevance.
– The U.S. as a ‘rounding error’ globally, outpaced by the populations of China and India, and possibly facing reserve currency displacement.
– Talk of a post-dollar global economy, with possible currency baskets including the yuan, euro, rupee, and pound.

Amid concern for the U.S.'s fading clout, Roxanne uplifts her Horn family community, now connecting via Discord to maintain dialogue and solidarity. The show encourages listener support, podcast reviews, and highlights the work of Coal River Mountain Watch in fighting mountaintop removal. One donor even issues a challenge grant to boost fundraising.

There's also some cautious optimism:
– VP Kamala Harris is praised for tackling homebuying issues and price gouging.
– The Quote ID contest continues, with Gatsby fans winning this round.

But the future looms ominous. Roxanne warns of:
– Climate catastrophe and the elite’s seeming desire to abandon Earth (à la Elon Musk).
– Mass extermination ideologies cloaked in "Western civilization" rhetoric by white Christian nationalists.
– The Georgia Guidestones as a metaphor for techno-dystopian “rebuilding” under authoritarian rule.
– A creeping American imperial presidency, with comparisons to Rome’s descent into empire.

Despite it all, Roxanne returns to a core message: community, resistance, and clarity of thought are vital. Whether through mocking MAGAT nonsense or spotlighting real threats to democracy and the planet, the show calls for vigilance, truth-telling, and action.

The difference and distance between spineless Democrats and the ones with fire in the belly is both profound and, in the case of the courageous, so very inspiring. Some newer House Dems are proving to be our best hope. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is walking the walk and talking the talk. Meanwhile Rahm Emmanuel is the same old POS he's always been.

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 01, 2025

Roxanne Kincaid returns in this electrifying May 1st episode of Head-ON, diving deep into the dysfunction of American politics with her signature firebrand style. From blistering critiques of “Nitwit Nero” and the “MAGAT Party” to her praise for progressive champions like J.B. Pritzker and Melanie Stansbury, Roxanne brings unapologetic heat to a show grounded in fierce truth-telling and social justice advocacy.

🔥 Key topics include:

• “Defenestration” as Political Metaphor: The episode password sparks a spirited takedown of the Trump camp’s inner purges—especially Mike Waltz’s ousting and Marco Rubio’s overstuffed appointment portfolio.

• Dan Goldman’s ICE Critique: Audio and commentary on GOP resistance to a bill barring ICE from detaining/deporting US citizens—including one heartbreaking case of a child with stage 4 cancer.

• Melanie Stansbury vs. Marjorie Taylor Greene: A fiery House Oversight Committee exchange over social programs leads Roxanne to celebrate Stansbury’s righteous rebuttal and call out Greene’s cruelty.

• Trump’s Dictator Banter & Religious Fakery: Trump’s National Prayer Day comments and “performative piety” are dissected and condemned as signals of authoritarian adoration.

• CBP Nominee Rodney Scott Under Fire: A disturbing Senate hearing clip implicates Scott in a rape threat and racist group activity—eliciting outrage from Roxanne over his limp denials.

• The “MAGAT Creep” Mailbag: Roxanne deconstructs hate mail accusing Dems of baby-killing and gang-importing, calling out these tropes as fearmongering and bigoted nonsense.

• Literary Lens: This month’s quote from The Great Gatsby—“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy…”—becomes a sharp political allegory for elite impunity and right-wing destructiveness.

• Economic Anxiety: Rising prices, empty shelves, and America’s precarious dependence on Chinese supply chains are discussed with caller Todd, alongside concerns about trade policy and child labor deregulation.

• RFK Jr., Nutrition Nonsense, and Veal Hypocrisy: Roxanne mocks pseudoscientific health claims and recalls a revealing story about “Whalehead Dead-Bear Brainworm” (aka RFK Jr.) dining on veal.

• Praise for Gov. J.B. Pritzker: A rare moment of optimism as Roxanne hails Pritzker’s spine and eloquence in standing up to both the far right and tepid Democrats.

Also covered: the implosion at the Pentagon, Trump’s inner circle turmoil, the cowardice of impeachment-bailing Democrats, and Roxanne’s enduring call for truth, courage, and community. As always, listeners are welcomed into the “Horn Family Community Congregation,” encouraged to engage via calls and chat, and thanked for supporting the “Bruce and Karen’s Memorial Challenge.”

Passionate, raw, and unapologetically progressive, this episode is Roxanne Kincaid at full volume.

Thanks, y'all, for being patient with me while we got my sweetheart out of her slum. I know we missed a day of horrors, but we were in the midst of our own. Never clean a "goldenrod" oven from the 1977 Sears catalog that hasn't been cleaned since Saddam Hussein was an ally of the United States. Just sayin'.

Meanwhile, in America: ACABs are driving innocents into the night in their altogether, stealing everything they have . . . even when their "warrant" is garbage and they don't even have the right house.

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – April 30, 2025

Live from behind the corn curtain, it’s Head-ON with America’s only liberal transbilly elitist. Roxanne returns after helping her friend Victoria move into a family home—a major upgrade from a grimy tenement. The password is “ensconced,” reflecting Victoria’s newly settled life in the countryside.

April ends fully funded thanks to the “Horn family” listener community—no mattress ads, just grassroots support. Roxanne gives heartfelt thanks to donors who made “bake sale radio” work throughout the years.

This episode dives deep into political horror: a U.S. citizen child with brain cancer deported, ICE raids destroying homes and lives, and a Haitian woman dying in custody due to medical neglect. Roxanne exposes cruelty as deliberate policy and blasts the “maggot administration” for state-enabled fascism.

Senator Lindsay Graham’s claim that Trump is open to being Pope sparks scathing satire. Roxanne calls out Trump’s mental state and quotes Josh Marshall’s disbelief at the spectacle. A Thomas Paine quote—"born to reign"—forms the basis for the literary challenge, critiquing hereditary leadership and disconnected elites. The answer? Common Sense.

Dark humor reigns in a wide-ranging call with “Crazy Dave,” covering everything from D&D at the VA to ICE theft, GOP cowardice, and Supreme Court religious bias. Dave draws historical parallels, denounces fascism, and mocks Justice Alito’s LGBTQ cluelessness and Kavanaugh’s pro-theocracy leanings.

More: Trump touts tariff-fueled “real income” collapse, likened by economist Justin Wolfers to a 94% depression. Roxanne slams it as economic vandalism. She also criticizes John Fetterman’s hawkish Iran stance and dismisses Columbus Day revivals, favoring truth over myth.

The show closes with thanks, public health tips, and a shoutout to environmental group Coal River Mountain Watch. As always: wash hands, mask up in crowds, and beware the MAGATS.

A Progressive Talk Icon Has Hung Up the Microphone

As many of you maybe aware, Randi Rhodes, a tenured progressive talker hung up the microphone one last time last week on April 23rd, 2025. In a world overrun with right-wing hate radio, manosphere podcasts, and TikTok disinformation, it's important to nurture strong progressive communities. We invite all of Randi's listeners to join us on weekdays from 5pm to 8pm Eastern, 2pm to 5pm Pacific time, for 3 hours of spirited, rousing, and informative progressive talk with Roxanne Kincaid. Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid has been on the air since 2005. Join us at HeadON.Live, or catch the program on TuneIn at http://tun.in/sfAg3.

These hundred days have brought horrors unimaginable even during the first nightmare years of Nitwit Nero. Now, he says he "runs the world." He's insane. Stone-cold, no-doubt-about-it criminally insane. 

The monsters of ICE are kidnapping infants and pregnant mothers, children with cancer. Could we please just skip the middle part and put them in spiffy, black Hugo Boss uniforms? I'd like to think maybe even MAGATS might take notice then. 

Who am I kidding?

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – April 28, 2025

In this fiery episode of Head-On with Roxanne Kincaid, the outspoken “liberal transbilly elitist” dives headfirst into a torrent of political and human rights controversies engulfing the nation. Roxanne opens with searing criticism of what she terms the current “fascist regime,” accusing it of systematically eroding constitutional protections, trampling civil liberties, and deploying authoritarian tactics under the guise of law enforcement.

A central focus is placed on shocking allegations against ICE, including the illegal deportation of U.S. citizen children—one reportedly suffering from brain cancer—alongside their pregnant mothers. The host and cited legal advocates denounce these actions as violations of due process and basic human rights. Virginia authorities are investigating a particularly aggressive ICE raid in Charlottesville, where masked agents reportedly abducted a man from a courtroom. The Commonwealth’s attorney calls it a political performance and a “grave danger” to public safety.

Roxanne also targets the administration’s economic policies, sounding alarms over an escalating trade war with China. Citing reports that Chinese cargo shipments are ceasing by mid-May, she warns of looming shortages at U.S. retailers and criticizes the administration’s reliance on tariffs as economically illiterate and dangerous.

The episode takes a deeply personal turn during a long call with listener Paul, an autistic scientist, who expresses grave concerns about RFK Jr.’s suggestion of an autism registry. Paul equates the idea to historical registries later weaponized by authoritarian regimes. Roxanne draws chilling parallels to broader government surveillance and crackdowns on marginalized communities, especially trans individuals and immigrants. Both emphasize the importance of understanding, not stigmatizing, neurodivergent individuals.

Health concerns also surface, with Paul reporting on a growing measles outbreak affecting over half the U.S., urging listeners to wear masks and rely on state-level health data over federal agencies like the CDC or HHS.

Roxanne shares personal updates—including helping a friend escape a slumlord—and thanks listeners for their generous support during a fundraising push. A donor is matching contributions up to $900 to keep progressive, ad-free radio alive.

Finally, the show highlights Rep. Shri Thanedar’s introduction of seven articles of impeachment against the former president, citing abuses of power, denial of due process, and violations of the Constitution.

With unflinching rhetoric and impassioned calls to action, Roxanne connects the dots between systemic cruelty, legal decay, economic mismanagement, and the rise of a government she argues is dangerously close to fascism.

Now the fascists are going after judges. Let that sink in. Judges. Pam Blondi has declared the 4th Amendment no longer in effect. Unidentified masked gunmen are stalking people's homes all over the country. And here we are, with ringside seats to the potential end of our time as a constitutional republic at the hands of an outlaw regime. The question is, how do we save it?

Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid — April 25, 2025

In this episode of Head-ON, Roxanne Kincaid broadcasts live from West Virginia, blending sharp political commentary with community conversation. Roxanne fiercely critiques the Trump regime’s recent assaults on the judiciary, detailing the controversial arrests of Judge Hannah Dugen in Wisconsin and Judges Joel and Nancy Cono in New Mexico over their handling of immigrants. She defends judicial authority, questions ICE’s tactics, and condemns the use of dehumanizing language like "illegal alien."

The show highlights alarming expansions of executive power: Attorney General Pam Blondie’s memo allows warrantless home entries under the Alien Enemies Act, stripping non-citizens of legal protections. Roxanne warns of nationwide immigrant roundups enabled by new cooperation agreements with over 150 local police departments.

Community voices shine during the "Front Porch" call-in segment. Roger discusses Social Security's racist exclusions and Trump-era veteran benefit cuts. Steve shares immigrant protection stories, while Sylvie sends a moving family story about life before Social Security. Good news arrives with the announcement of a retro electric pickup truck by "Slate" (not Tesla), sparking lighter conversation about sustainable transport and a humorous send-off about Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s funeral.

Listener Dave calls in with personal updates, offers to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Latin for donations, and critiques ICE abuses. Micah, the "data girl," provides practical tech security tips, emphasizing the importance of using passcodes over biometrics.

Throughout, Roxanne underscores the show’s urgent funding needs, noting a deficit of $2,330 and the community’s ongoing support to keep independent liberal media alive. She ends with calls to action: stay informed, stay vigilant, and fight creeping fascism.

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.
