Mt. Angel Publishing sends out a publication called Our Town twice a month, free of charge. I wrote about it yesterday (1/9/26) titled Twinkies and Tequila.

I think one of the problems we have right now is that we are being too influenced by groups that have a stake in gaming power. Citizens United of course. Putin has taken so much power from our politics. But there are also groups like Opus Dei. Leonard Leo picked 4 of the Supreme Court justices. Kevin Roberts wrote Project 2025. Both are Opus Dei. Read the book Opus by Gareth Gore. That Catholic movement which Pope Francis and now Pope Leo are trying to completely separate from, has done real damage to people and countries and they are doing that here. They’ve completely manipulated the Supreme Court and have had a real hand in fracturing our federal government.

Why Does The DOJ Want Your Voting Information?

Marc Elias over at Democracy Docket outlines in a new video(https://bit.ly/3YoaUU1) how Cheeto’s corrupt DOJ has taken up the mantle to disenfranchise your vote and 2026 will be the year of the use of BIG DATA to screw you and your vote so as to not have a free and fair election This is not hyperbole or a fantasy The Nazis have already begun with redistricting Right now the state Nazi legislatures are using their own voter data at the state level to make up these discriminatory unfair redistricting maps

According to Bannon since the Nazi Republican party cannot win elections based on policy alone fundamental to the MAGA movement is the ability to suppress the vote Since states collect multiple data points on voters and run their own elections these data sets become building blocks for voter suppression This began in North Carolina as early as 2013 when the legislature gerrymandered the map in their favor

Any program that seeks to disenfranchise voters, suppress voter turnout, suppress voter registration, challenge voters right to vote begins with having voter data DOJ constitutionally does not oversee elections but they have sued 20 purple and blue swing states for access to personal voter data Any Nazi Republican effort needs to have your data in order to prevent you from having your vote count

So please talk to your friends, neighbors, relatives, family members and make them aware of what is at stake in 2026 and 2028 Don’t be intimidated Stand up and fight against this assault Make sure your voting information is correct
