I just love this guy. This one is really good. I was laughin' out loud several times but also deeply engaged in what he had to say. In other words... based.
I’m really glad people are listening to these transcripts and becoming more familiar with what happened to Richard Allen in Carroll County, Indiana.
Unfortunately, the Delphi Trial transcript project has to be put on hold for now because I’m out of funds. My Replit free credits will be available again in 15 days, so I should still be able to finish this before the oral arguments in September.
The sections still pending are:
Trial Testimony * First Sergeant Christopher * Lieutenant Brian Bunner * Breann Wilber * Master Trooper Brian Harshman * Dr. John Martin
Jury Deliberations * Jury Deliberations Day 1 — November 7, 2024 * Jury Deliberations Day 3 — November 9, 2024 * Jury Deliberations Day 4 — November 11, 2024
Sentencing Hearing — December 20, 2024 * Lieutenant Jerry Holeman * Carrie Timmons * Joshua Lank * Diana Erskin * Becky Patty * Mike Patty
Special Compilations 1. All Sidebars 2. All State Objections 3. All Defense Objections
If anyone wants this finished sooner, I can share the Replit project with someone who is willing to help complete it. Alternatively, you can fund the project through Cash App: $therassistantllc
Otherwise, I’ll pick it back up in 15 days. Thank you to everyone who has been following along and listening.
When Congress capped the House at 435 seats, America had about 123 million people. Today, we have about 343 million. Same 435 seats. Nearly 3x the people.
So what does that have to do with freedom?
Everything.
Your freedom depends on your ability to influence the people who make your laws.
The laws that decide what you can do with your body, your money, your property, your business, your healthcare, your speech, and your privacy.
As the population grew, your individual voice got smaller. America grew. Our representation didn’t.
And freedom without representation is just a slogan.

🇺🇸 A July 4th thought about freedom:
When Congress capped the House at 435 seats, America had about 123 million people.
Today, we have about 343 million.
Same 435 seats.
Nearly 3x the people.
So what does that have to do with freedom?
Everything.
Your freedom depends on your ability to influence the people who make your laws.
The laws that decide what you can do with your body, your money, your property, your business, your healthcare, your speech, and your privacy.
As the population grew, your individual voice got smaller. America grew. Our representation didn’t.
And freedom without representation is just a slogan.
Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸
