Dana Nessel charges Republican slate of electors with a felony.

In what can only be described in terms of Marxist oppression, Michigan's lesbian attorney general has brought criminal charges against the state's slate of Republican electors going back to 2020. In an unprecedented flex of authority, Dana Nessel will attempt to convince the court that the document the 16 Republicans signed was a forgery.

You'll recall that because various states had such controversy swirling around, in some blue states, like Michigan, Republicans got together and produced their own slate of electors to present to Congress and the Electoral College.

And now, three years after the fact, Nessel comes bombing in and rounds up the 16 Republicans and hits them with felony charges for their list.

Political conservatives have rallied around the 16 and even produced a legal-bill fundraising event for them last week — a livestreaming telethon carried by the conservative media outlet The Gateway Pundit.

They had multiple guests on, talking about different aspects of all this, and Church Militant was one of those guests.

Check it out.

So-called hate speech to be prosecuted?

During the midterms in 2022, when the red wave almost entirely failed to materialize except in very isolated pockets, one of the remarkable shouldn't/wasn’t supposed-to-happen things is the flip of some states to more blue. Perhaps the biggest example of that is right here where Church Militant is headquartered: Michigan.

In one night, the entire state government went from a medium shade of purple to deep blue as the communist Democrats seized back control of the state legislature, affecting the much coveted "trifecta" — control of both chambers and the governorship. With the Gov. Gretchen "lockdown" Whitmer winning reelection — as well as her Marxist maven counterparts, Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson — the Marxist Michigan monopoly is fully complete.

And as we predicted on election night (right here on this set), that was/is a big, giant danger to everything that faithful Catholics, as well as other people of goodwill, hold dear. True to form, the Marxists have introduced a bill into the state legislature, with the full support of the commie elites, that will destroy free speech of religious and political conservatives.

Of course, it's all under the guise of stamping out so-called hate speech. And we all know what that means: a euphemism for conservative speech. Any speech about truth that Marxists despise is labeled "hate," and under the proposed law, it will be punishable with fines, prison time or both. And before someone says, "That will never hold up in court. Just sue them," consider this.

First, going to court, even in the case of a slam dunk like our ongoing case in Baltimore, is a tremendous drain on mental and financial resources. Having lived in lawsuit land now for the past two years, even a win (and Church Militant is so far 4-0) in court drains away valuable time from the mission. We are here to promote the Faith for the salvation of souls and help turn around the culture to whatever degree we can in terms of people's thinking.
