22. Machado Will Go Incommunicado
Fri Jan 16, 2026, 06:04 PM
Friday

I fear she's WAY ahead of the game now! For years she was running... not sleeping in the same place to escape a murderous S.A. dictator. The world order was in its place. Even the powers of Europe, NATO and the Americas could only give her a gold medal to remember her by. Then Barney Fife rode into town ..took the tyrant off the scene and left the petroleum industry of the world to figure out how to dispose of 300 BILLION barrels of (substandard) oil and suddenly the lady isn't the prime target to hang from a tree? And people have a PROBLEM with this? Look folks. Fate has blessed this woman. She stood tall... accepted the fate of death .... then TRUMP came stumbling in and NOW she can disappear to Canada unless Trump follows her to Vancouver after dispatching Greenland. She dropped off the gold...loosened the noose... dropped the pretension that she is about to finish the work of Evita. And now she's going to exit stage left!!!! She got the prize .. gave Don the Con a decoration for the ballroom, not everyone in Norway is mad at her.. let her sneak out of the side exit!
