Its official: woman to be featured on $10 bill

[– Deleted on Request –Spectator 936]

Being Canadian, my comments are likely insignificant, but I can think of some American women who may deserve to be on the bill as they made significant contributions to all of mankind.

One is Clara Barton.  She served as a nurse during the American Civil war and none other than William Tecumseh Sherman said of her:  “She ranks me.”  She later went on to found the American Red Cross.

Another is Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, Ph. D., decorated naval officer and computer pioneer.  A U. S. Navy destroyer is named after her as is a supercomputer at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.

One more is Amelia Earhart, aviation pioneer.

Yup! Invented the computer compiler, one of the most important inventions in our computer age.

I find it strange that they chose to keep Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Those banksters just can’t stop insulting “Old Hickory” on the $20. No woman is ever worth $50 or $100 so $10 was the highest one they could get.

Look at this way, No woman can ever replace “the Dolla bill George yo” the one, the beginning . It would be too much for feminism to chew. “The 5 long hat dolla  bill” it would cause to much controversy for the feminists and it definitely p~~~ of the black community ,this way black women would not be on that bandwagon.  next we have the “100 benji”, trying to replace  the 2nd in command to our founding fathers is suicide for the feminists again its to much for them to chew now! So we are left with  “Old Hickory”  aaaannnnd  “The perfect ten” .. drums roll ta dum tss! This was a a choice made by them as they  would love to describe them selves as perfect and 10’s. so they just left old hickory alone… for now.

It’s sad that I really would have to strain to think of a specific woman that would be worthy of a bill. Heard someone say the other day, “The person currently on the $10 bill is Alexander Hamilton, and he will not be completely be removed from the bill, because we couldn’t let the little lady do that all by herself.” Kind of agree that we can’t despite the fact that was supposed to be a joke. The better line that followed was “Oh, it will be out in 2020, just in time for us to completely abandon paper money.”
