Harriet Tubman probably didn’t exist. I don’t mean the person. There was a Harriet Tubman, and she was a former slave – but she was also likely mentally handicapped from being hit on the head with a weight when she was 12. No, I’m not talking about whether a person existed. I’m talking about the entire mythos surrounding her supposed life; her “hagiography” in the Leftie cultural slop milieu that gets forced down the throats of every schoolchild starting in elementary grades.

Oops.
And no, no idea if the allegations are true or not. Feel free to find out and advise.

Aren’t we about to eliminate the $20 and round everything up to $50?
If the Fed continues its policy of aiming for a target of “only” 2% inflation, at some point in the future we will be wiping our behinds on George Washington’s face because toilet paper will be more than $1.00 per sheet.
Inflation is inflation is inflation, whether it is 0.2%, 2%, or 2000% is irrelevant. The difference is only the time that will pass until we reach the inevitable economic disaster.
Ron Paul once gave a rant about our failure to hold to the gold standard, the zinc standard, the copper standard, and now even the zinc standard.

Wait, what, zinc standard?
Most Americans aren’t even aware that our pennies are now made of zinc “washed” with copper because some wise man decided that the value of a penny would never be less than the value of the junk metal used to make a zinc penny, until they weren’t. Made, that is!

Well, surprise, surprise as Gomer Pyle used to say.
Goodbye, penny!
Goodbye, zinc standard!
Even if Tubman is flushed down a “memory hole”, the people who make her disappear will have nothing on the folks who made an entire 6000 man Roman legion vanish, perhaps because they became politically unpredictable.
And it only took 1900 years to find them.
