Titanic Tuesday, Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid July 1, 2025

Roxanne's Kilroy‑Sized Show Notes  — July  1, 2025
(4,000‑character carnival ride, safely under Apple’s big top)

• 🎩 Opening Chaos, Literally

  • Tornado‑worthy West Virginia thunderclaps knock the station offline for ten minutes; Roxanne utters the day’s password—“outage”—while rebooting the router with prayers to Nikola Tesla and duct tape.

  • Instant fear: every new thunder roll could yank the plug again. So it goes. ⚡

• 🗳️ Senate’s “Big Bastard Bill” (BBB = Big Bad Banana‑Republic?)

  • Passes by a single beard: VP “Guyliner” breaks tie, bragging he’s “the first veep in a century with facial hair—her name’s Usha.” 🧔‍♀️

  • Slaps a surprise excise tax on wind & solar. Half the GOP senators, including mystified Lisa Murkowski, learn about it after voting. Lindsey “Lady G” Graham: “It’s a secret, I guess.”

  • Pours $160 B into ICE—10,000 extra agents, shiny new detention “villages.” Roxanne: “Concentration camps in the land of purple mountain majesties. Yay, freedom.”

  • Senator Murkowski votes aye, gets zilch for Alaska, and still calls it “obligation to my people.” Host translation: “She shoved Alaskans into the bear pit.”

• 🧮 Shoestring Economics, or How to Beg Politely During a Thunderstorm

  • June closed $1,130 in the red; July starts with a $300 “Bruce & Karen Memorial Challenge.”

  • Micah shouts “💩 the BBB!” — kicks in $50; Sylvie matches. Charlene piles on. Daily survival = ≈$600.

  • Refrain: “Ratings & reviews are the lifeblood that tell the algorithm we exist, because Procter & Gamble sure won’t.”

• 💥 Immigration & the New Age of Fear

  • While senators nap, ICE gets its gold card. Roxanne recounts a Cuban man dying in Florida custody and warns “brown workers are vanishing from LA job sites—citizenship be damned.”

  • Quote of the day: “If you’re brown, you’re keeping your head down.”

• 🌬️ Renewable Energy, Now with Sin Tax

  • Excise hits turbines and solar arrays smack in red‑state prairie. GOP baffled: “Who slipped that in?” Roxanne: “Check your own pockets, Senator.”

• 🥊 Verbal Heavyweights

  • Tuberville calls immigrants “rats.” Host retorts: “Tommy the Tuber doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, which is everything.”

  • Rand Paul whines about deficits—after voting for $7 B bunker‑buster bombs.

  • Bernie Sanders roars: BBB is “the most dangerous bill in modern history,” trading Medicaid for megayachts. 🚢

• 🎂 & 🎻 Personal Interludes While Rome Smolders

  • Happy birthday to progressive‑talk godfather Mike Malloy.

  • Toast to Roxanne’s parents’ 65th anniversary—married in the very front yard “of the crumbling family mansion.”

  • Host celebrates new pacemaker rhythm: “Heart finally sounds like a heart, not a Maytag on spin.”

• 🛰️ Meteorological Foreshadowing

  • Continuous storm commentary: “Clouds, thunder, lightning, rain—Mother Nature’s filibuster.”

  • Broadcast ends mid‑sentence when power ghosts away. The final words? “If we drop, blame Zeus, not me.”

• 📢 Call to Do‑Something‑ness

  • Leave a review, toss a nickel, join the Horn chat (moderated by Roger, Chief Agronomist & Bud‑Trimmer Emeritus).

  • Password tomorrow? With luck, “electricity.”

  • Funding hole will be at $1730 through July 2nd, with a $300 challenge on the table. Please consider contributing headon.live/contribute

🕊️ “The maggots in the Senate think folks aren’t dying fast enough,” Roxanne sighs. “Meanwhile we keep the mics hot, even if the grid isn’t.”
