This morning I woke on time and actually felt good, great maybe. I plugged away for about three hours and then it hit me – a sluggishness with an underlying sick feeling. I suspect it might be the coffee and the powdered doughnut I drank and ate conspiring with or against my summertime diet. I think they call it a sugar crash or something. Then there’s the threat that’s been brewing in the back of my mind for three days.

I’m going to keep going. A real breakfast and a trip to the gym (arms and shoulders today) will cure the tiredness. I specialize in dark threats; soon that brooding menace in my mind will be worrying about me.

Moving on is all you can do. With anything.

Nearly fifteen years ago I was in D.C. I was standing in a ballroom at the Mayflower talking to Steve Forbes. He had just given an inspirational address on the sorry state of our monetary policies. Then, as now and ever, those policies are ruinous. His inspiration came from how he approached the topic.

Even a connected and educated billionaire is a small thing when set against the monolithic evil of central banking. He was (and is) in the know, understanding more acutely than most what’s wrong and what it is doing to our country. He knows the windmills must be tilted though failure seems assured.

I asked him what we, any of us, could do to make a difference. He answer was amazingly simple, “Just keep hammering away.” He told me it wasn’t really about winning (though that would be nice); it’s about the fight, about doing what’s right no matter the outcome. Just because they’re evil and they keep winning doesn’t mean we retreat or concede – ever.

For old times sake, let me now wield that hammer: the Federal Reserve, its practices, its supporters, and beneficiaries are all pure evil. They are the bane of freedom. They need to be destroyed. There, I got that out of the way for the morning.

Now it’s time to cure my coffee hangover.

You? You just keep hammering away at whatever it is you’re facing today.
