Labor Day hits a little different this year, as there are elements outside our assembly seeking to fracture the coalition of pragmatic conservatives. The noise is louder, the distractions more intense and the stakes of resetting the economic balance sheet in favor of Main Street are higher. For all of those reasons and more, it seems more difficult to keep moving forward with economic nationalism as the roadmap.
However, we remind ourselves that everything of great purpose comes from within, and from a loving God. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said:
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”
It’s Labor Day in America. We pause and celebrate work, productivity, problem solving, and the value of our workforce. A nation built on ingenuity – so long as we tend the flickering flame of liberty. So, to all of you who do not take part in the grand lies and manipulations that surround us, THANK YOU!
No other nation on earth was conceived to allow people to manifest their own destiny while keeping government out of their lives. The vision, the premise and the purpose, was to allow you the freedom to determine your place in life; and even, at any time, change that determination and strike off in an entirely new direction.
Our American labor and aspirations would not be pre-determined by caste, tier, creed or social status; but rather by our personal vision for our own future. The right of self-determination. This is a uniquely American attribute.
Labor Day is a moment when we reflect on the value of work, the great benefit of endeavors achieved, the pride in accomplishment -regardless of scale- amid this thing we call life. But ultimately, all of these considerations have absolutely nothing to do with the money we assemble in the process. We ain’t taking any of it with us folks.
When you hold open the door, you make a difference. When you choose to stand against fraud and deceit, you make a difference. When you pray with purpose you make a difference. When you hold no tolerance for chaos, you make a difference. When you show up, even when you are not sure what comes next, you make a difference. When you achieve in silence because silence is not a mistake, you make a difference.
It is who you are that makes a difference. That is the currency of our life.
Regardless of your chosen occupation or effort, you do it well. You live your standard. You have paid the price for your peace. Be proud of yourself. Allow the method of your labor to express the value of who you are and celebrate the accomplishment.
You matter!
Thank you for your fellowship and for your kindness.
With warmest personal regards,
Happy Labor Day!
12 hour shift today.
“A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do”
Yep, I usually find myself working on Labor Day and today is no exception.
I’m grateful to have the work!
Happy Labor Day!
(heading to panama city beach tomorrow to enjoy the post-tourist-season hotel discounts, and warm Gulf Of America waters!)

Post tourist season is the best season!
If you’re a right-thinking patriot, your family will love a beach holiday in Panama City, Fl.
I lived in the Caribbean for twenty years and Panama City Beach is as nice as any I saw there.
Safe, clean, not expensive.
12 hour swing shift, it was a 25 year career and a dam good one.
Thank you Sundance. How kind of you to honor all who work and contribute to the American Dream. Happy Labor Day to you as well. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to Truth.
May God continue to bless and protect this magnificent Treehouse. 🙏 ❤️
Sundance, thank you for being the patriot that you are.
Happy Labor Day Sundance and Treepers!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
Taking a day off from my business, working on home improvements, with a couple hour beach break for good measure!
A quality work ethic was one of the best things my family gave me in my upbringing and that same work ethic has been passed on to my adult children.
As for the debris that stands there with their hand out thinking somebody owes them the world will pass them by.
Semper Fidelis to God, Family, Country, and Corps for the entire journey!
Happy Day at work, for those who serve us; a day of relaxation for the others.
We are so blessed to have worked hard to ensure a free country.
Now, go vote in November!
“It is who you are that makes a difference.”
In my experience lately, I have found it is more productive to attack the fake news controlled by the globalists INSTEAD of debating all these individual points of contention swirling around us.
I ask where people are sourcing their information from and tell them that ever since wjc/hrc, roughly 90% of the MSM worldwide has been consolidated into ownership by about six mega-entities.
They are lying to us and keeping us divided over issues so that they can continue to be unchallenged.
Sundance. I am grateful for your labor in maneuvering through these layers of lies. And also for courageously transmitting the truth to us here at CTH.
Not only Sundance, but to all the others posters that share their wealth of knowledge with those if us who lack that knowledge and understanding of the issues.
There’s nothing better than genuine fellowship and celebrating national holidays together.
Yesterday I was fortunate to go with six other friendly seniors from my new neighborhood to a local festival. It took me decades of looking, but communities of genuine conservative fellowship exist, we’re all in lockstep in our love for the USA, and the move from a blue state is worth the effort. Our group includes an educated, athletic UK expat, in his 70s, fully engaged and wanting to talk and to engage about the UK’s involuntary demographic shift at the hands of their elite.
Live your best life in a place where people like you and respect your love for our USA.
Spending it with the Moos, Baas, Neighs and the Fences. lol
Happy Labor Day all. 🥰🥰🥰
America has a key value in individual self determination. Work is the major component and is biblically based. Labor Day honors that tradition. If only we could go back to the days where meritocracy was honored as well.
Most people view Labor Day as barbecues and Mattress, Home Depot sales,
But the origin of the holiday is brutal.
In 1894, workers at the Pullman rail car company went on strike after their wages were slashed by 25% while their rent in the company town stayed unchanged. When 250,000 railroad workers joined in solidarity, President Grover Cleveland dispatched 12,000 U.S. Army troops to break the strike. Dozens of workers were killed.
Facing a massive political backlash months before an election, Cleveland rushed a bill through Congress to create Labor Day as a peace offering to the American worker—signing it into law days after the strike was broken.
The date was intentionally placed in September rather than May 1st to distance the American public from the Haymarket affair and broader global labor rallies.
Every standard workplace right we take for granted today—the 8-hour day, two-day weekends, workplace safety laws, and bans on child labor—came from workers organizing, striking, and risking their livelihoods.
Worth remembering before summer officially wraps up.
