🎙️Media Mergers, Sanctuary Cities, and Personal Tales – July 25, 2025

  • From the hills that have been blown apart and shoved into valleys—Roxanne Kincaid broadcasts three hours of cussing, discussing, and saying things most polite people avoid. Appalachia stays scarred, and so do the people. ⛰️

  • Hulk Hogan dies. Kincaid calls him a “racist liar and scab.” Says the MAGAT crowd still worships him because they’ll forgive anything done by “one of their own.” Quotes his infamous slur-laced rant. Wonders aloud why anyone would mourn a man who told his own son that God “wanted your friend hurt, not you.”

  • Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow still crawls. Kincaid says the “full list” hasn’t been released for blackmail purposes. Notes it’s mostly men from “a certain generation, boomers,” and keeps pointing out that Trump himself basically confessed—“They’re going to accuse me of some funny business.” Kincaid: “Sexual assault of an underage girl is funny business? Funny ha-ha or funny sick?”

  • Paramount-SkyDance merger: alleged Trump extortion—$16 million paid to avoid trouble and $20 million in “free airtime.” South Park airs an episode mocking him with an “AI-generated PSA” and a “micro penis” gag. White House fuming. Creators ready to be subpoenaed.

  • A federal judge slaps Trump’s sanctuary city lawsuit away using the 10th Amendment and the anti-commandeering doctrine. States don’t have to be ICE’s hired muscle.

  • Vice President JD Vance polishes “great replacement” ideas with Ivy League manners. He says “real Americans” share “heritage, manners, customs.” Kincaid translates: “He means white.”

  • Callers voice travel fears. Jeremy worries about returning safely from Canada. Chi Woo delays a trip to Southeast Asia. Being trans, Black, or simply not MAGAT now means thinking twice before leaving home.

  • Power always overreaches, then flips. Kincaid mocks those who think they can hold it forever. “We have met the enemy and they is us,” she quotes.

  • JB Pritzker emerges as a hopeful Democrat: “Fearless, head and shoulders above Gavin Newsome, maybe the first Jewish president.” Illinois gave the U.S. its first Black president, “could do it again.”

  • Environmental grief: “The surface of the state had been demolished by men and machinery and explosives… Its mountains, which had once found it easy to stand by themselves, were sliding into valleys.” That’s West Virginia now.

  • A rare soft note: “In every bit of honest writing there is a base theme: Try to understand men. If you understand each other, you’ll be kind. Knowing a man well will never lead to hate. And nearly always leads to love.” (And then she swears at Trump.) ❤️

  • Kincaid laughs about a Portland friend: “I hear less gunfire here than I did in Oak Hill, West Virginia.”

  • And when a stranger comments on her chest: “Yes ma’am, they are, but I’m trying to grow my own as fast as I can.”

  • Funding hole is at $1,670 for the start of Monday's program. Please consider contributing headon.live/contribute

It’s all absurd. It’s all deadly serious. And the monsters, as Kincaid says, are among us. Have a mask handy. You’ll need it when the fan turns. 😐
