This website — the one you're on right now — I built it myself. Today only, I'll build you one just like it for $250.

I'm not asking for a handout. I'm offering to work.

I'll be straight about why: rent is due today. I'm behin…

The night I got out of the Harrison County jail — where I'd been held on a harassment charge — I didn't go online and try to fight it out in public. I did it the right way. I gathered my receipts, and that same evening, May 12, 2026, I picked up the phone and called the Harrison County Sheriff's Office to report the people hara…

I tried to do what they told me. I want that on the record before anything else. When I was told not to post — not even on my own page — I went quiet. I sat on my hands and tried to be the compliant defendant everyone wanted me to be.

It nearly sank my family.

What silence actually cost

I don't have a regular job. I'm not punching a clock s…

On June 1, 2026, I filed a verified motion in Harrison County asking Judge Joe Black to step aside from my criminal case — or to send the question to the Regional Presiding Judge for a neutral decision. I want to be precise about what this is and what it is not. **This is not a claim that Judge Black committed a crime. It is not anger ov…

This is the public recor…

On June 1, 2026, I walked into a Harrison County, Texas criminal case representing myself and filed eleven motions at once. Not to delay. Not to play games. To do one thing the system is supposed to do on its own: put the truth on the record and let the evidence decide.

The accusation against me started as "hand on the grip of a firearm." Online, it grew int…

You came for the evidence. Here it is. Every exhibit below is laid out in order — each one with its source, a plain-language label, and why it matters. The full classification key and the complete exhibit list are at the bottom of the page for anyo…

Behind all eleven motions is one sworn statement. This is the Master Declaration I signed under penalty of perjury — my own words, on the record, about what happened, what I deny, what I need, and what I am not asking for.

*The Master Declarati…

This case is built on digital evidence — screenshots, posts, messages, videos, open-records emails, bodycam. And here is the problem with a screenshot: it shows what's on a screen, but it can hide the timestamp, the full thread, the metadata, the edits, the deletions, and the context around it. A cropped screenshot can tell a lie by leaving things out.

So I'm asking…

The government took or restricted my firearms. Fine — courts can impose lawful conditions. But I should not be left guessing what was taken, why it's being held, what condition actually applies, and how I get a hearing. Firearm restrictions have to be written, specific, and tied to a lawful order — not built on rumor and public escalation.

I am a combat-era Marine veteran with documented PTSD. I have physician documentation under the Texas Compassionate Use Program. Because of that lawful medical treatment, I could test positive for THC — and I should not be thrown back in a cell because a lawful prescription gets mistaken for a crime.

I am not asking to skip supervision. I am asking for one fair thing: **verify before you pun…

Transparency does not mean throwing private and protected information into the public record. I publish my fight openly — but some records (medical diagnoses, a minor's information, private addresses and phone numbers, raw platform data) should never be dumped in public just because I need to use them to protect my liberty.

This motion sets up a clean process: **redacted…

You cannot cross-examine a rumor. You cannot confront an anonymous claim. If I am being accused, restricted, or threatened with jail because of something someone said, I am entitled to know who said it, when, and whether the State relied on it.

This motion requires the charging narrative to be tied to specific…

A misdemeanor accusation has been turned into a public death sentence. People online have escalated a disputed church parking-lot encounter into "he pulled a gun," and that false escalation has produced real threats against my life. I am presumed innocent — and I should not have to live under threats and a runaway rumor while this case plays out.

This motion is **narrow and evi…

Digital evidence is fragile. Comments get edited. Posts get deleted. Videos vanish. Church cameras overwrite. Bodycam systems purge on a schedule. Phones get replaced. And screenshots get cropped to tell whatever story someone wants.

This motion asks the court to freeze the record now — before the evidence that proves what really happened quietly disappears. It doe…

You cannot defend yourself against a story you're not allowed to see. This motion is the formal demand: under Texas's criminal discovery statute and the constitutional disclosure rules, the State must hand over the evidence that tests the accusation — every report, every recording, and every version of every account.

![Page one of the Article 39.14 / Brady-Gi…

This is the heart of my whole case. There is an objective recording of what happened at that church — bodycam, dispatch, CAD, 911 audio, the police report, and possibly the church's own cameras. I called the police myself. I want every second of it preserved and produced, before anything gets overwritten or quietly lost.

If they told the truth, the bodycam shows it. If I…

Let me be clear about what this motion is not. I am not asking any court for permission to threaten anyone, to contact an alleged victim, to harass a witness, to dox anybody, or to name a child. I will never ask for that.

What I am asking for is simple: if there is a speech condition on my bond, make it narrow, written, and constitutional — instead of a v…

This is the first of eleven motions I filed in my Harrison County criminal case on June 1, 2026, appearing pro se — representing myself for now. I'm publishing each one in plain English: the motion, the law behind it, my sworn declaration, the exhibits, and the proposed order. The record should be publi…

I am documenting one specific pattern in East Texas.

This did not start with me looking for a fight.

It started with a public comment about my family on an old Facebook post. I took it private. I added the people involved to one Messenger thread. I asked for the comment to come down. I gave them a…

I am documenting this because it keeps happening.

Not once. Not one bad reply. Not one random stranger on a bad night. Every day.

I post about what happened to me in the D.C. Jail. I post about being suicidal in solitary confinement. I post about a lieutenant allegedly looking at me and saying, "Hope you don't die."

Then people show up under that…

This isn't an investigation or a case file. It's a personal note. I'm going to be straight with you, because that's the only way I know how to do this.

For the first time, I'm asking

In all the time I've been doing this work, I have never asked you for money for myself. I've asked you to share a story. I've asked you to send a tip. I've asked you to pray for a famil…

The Line That Should End a Career

I was alone in the SHU — solitary confinement, what we called the hole — at the D.C. Jail. I had been there more than t…

The comment is still up as of this writing.

On May 13, 2026, on a public Facebook thread, a verified account replied to me — by name — with this:

"Ryan Nichols you're a fucking pussy and you should've been put to death for treason."

The account posts under the name Jake Duffney and carries Facebook's blue ve…

A comment is making the rounds, so let me put this lie down before it hardens into "fact."

Under one of my posts, a man named Leland Combs wrote, in public:

"…at least she didnt go storm the capital and then try ruining people because your life was ruined. At least she didnt pull a gun out on someone at church either."

There …

Lynn and Rhonda Tress say they are not looking for drama. They are looking for answers — about their granddaughter, their great-grandchild, a March 3 welfare check, and a criminal trespass warning they say they never received in writing.

An East Texas family says they tried to use the proper channel. They asked for a welfare check. No…

DEVELOPING — posted the evening of May 23, 2026. I'll update this as the record firms up, and I'll correct anything I get wrong.

Around 6 PM Eastern this evening, what sounded like roughly 20 gunshots — some reporters on the scene counted closer to 30 — were heard near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, just outside the White House complex, over toward the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Secret Service agents pulled the press corps off the North Lawn, move…

If you're like me, you've probably been taken for every dime and ounce of energy from J6 attorneys, the Federal Government, your local government and everyone in between.

I am submitting my claim today.

If you want help, I will do yours for FREE, as a fellow J6er who understands.

Reach out and message me.

I've been through a lot in the last few years. January 6th. Prison. Pardon. Business damage. Family damage. A lot of pressure, a lot of anger, a lot of distrust.

I'm taking this season to heal. To get my head right. To rebuild the things that actually matter — faith, family, mental health, the way I treat the people who love me, the way I show up in the world.

I'm still going to tell the truth about what I see. I'm still going to fight for the things I believe in. But I'm d…

I've spent a lot of years posting on platforms I don't own — getting boosted, getting throttled, getting suspended, getting reinstated, watching it all reset every few months.

I'm done renting space on someone else's land.

This is my home base now. If you want to hear from me directly, this is where you'll find me. Short updates, long reflections, photos, the occasional video. No algorithm deciding whether you see it. No mob deciding whether I get to speak.

I'm not here to…

A few ground rules so this stays a place real people can actually talk:

1. Sign in to comment. No anonymous accounts. If you want to be heard, put your name on it.
2. Disagree without threats. You can push back on me, on anyone here, on any idea. You cannot doxx people, threaten people, or make claims you can't back up.
3. Be a person. Pile-ons, mob behavior, and spam get removed.
4. I read everything. I won't respond to everything, but I'll see it.

This is …
