The Benghazi Brief brought me here. It made me cry, and it made me angry. The finest thing I ever read.

I read, and read, and finally decided to join in when I could see Trump being ridiculed on his journey down the escalator, and his long walk toward the presidency. A man who everyone loved, celebrated, and now he was hated.

I thank you for showing me why.

I found CTH around the time that Mueller was appointed special counsel in May, 2017. His appointment and the subsequent takeover of the DOJ was infuriating to me.

I was a prosecutor for several years, but followed that up as a criminal defense attorney for almost 20 years. I have spent my professional career fighting against prosecutorial overreach. So many of my criminal defense colleagues have sold their souls to the worst people in our society.

What bothers me is that the basic Constitutional safeguards I try to protect, and encourage others to live by, are ignored by our opponents when it suits their political whims. It is so difficult to maintain virtue in the face of people who perpetuate evil with zero regard for actual good.

I just got 79 emails from my comment posted thirty minutes ago, and I purposely didn’t check the box to be notified of new posts via email – I don’t need them in email – I can read them here.

Hope this doesn’t happen in 2.0

I can’t remember if I found thegatewaypundit.com or theconservativetreehouse.com first, but
I do recall the article I read at one referred to the other. Between these two sites I get all the news regarding politics and corruption there in, that is of value. Often times one or both of these sites precludes any reporting by OANN or NEWSMAX by days. The research of Sundance is the best I’ve read anywhere. And, I greatly appreciate the Judaeo-Christian traditions cherished by the treehouse staff and contributors. Sundance, you are the best, you are the bomb!

I don’t remember exactly how I got here, but I sure am glad I found this place. When things happen and everybody is going crazy, this is the place I visit to calm myself down. Inevitably, within hours of the event, commenters here start to post details about what really happened.

Oh my….I distinctly remember it was in the early Obama years, when President Obama was pushing the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt. It was the point that I just knew in my heart that he was not who he wanted people to think he was. Obsessed with poring over as many political observations as I could, I too stumbled into the Treehouse and never, ever looked back. I appreciate ALL the research that is presented and linked in every column. Also, like others, I feel this is a place where folks are respectful, offer differing opinions, educate where necessary, offer hope, and love their country. I check in every day, sometimes just to feel the comfort of belonging and will follow 2.0 as long as there is a “welcome mat” out. God bless!!

What was it that brought you here?

I recall clicking on a link that took me to this site, and I read a few things. After clicking out of the site, I remember thinking about what I had read. Then I kept coming back for more

How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?

I’m only a member of one other site, which is a music site. I’ve never been one that joins forums, and I really didn’t want to join this one at the time, but being the opinionated person I am, the urge to get my voice heard on subjects and issues I found highly important and relevant became too great

And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?

When I first got here, my mind was a tangled web of wires all looking to be connected into some plugs of truth

I’d known for a long time something was wrong with our government, but between the fake news and propaganda of the “media”, and the intentional squashing of the truth, none of the loose ends were being connected

Here at The Tree House I found a place unlike anywhere else. Sure, it has a political bent, but that bent was also unlike anything else I’d seen

It wasn’t about Republican or Democrat. It wasn’t “our side is good and your side is bad”. It was about specific actions taken, and the individuals behind those actions. How our government was supposed to work versus how it actually works

The conservative theme is based on nothing more than the Constitution and good old common sense, Right versus wrong. Moral versus immoral

Simply people living in a Constitutional Republic believing we should abide by the rules set forth in a Constitutional Republic

And with Sundance plugging my loose ends into the plugs of truth, I, like so many others here, became much more enlightened about the true nature of our “representation”

Common sense and truth are vitally important, especially today, and those two vital ingredients make up a powerful mojo, one that can change our country and the world for the better

During the 2016 Presidential primary, Google hadn’t rigged its algos yet. So I was doing a search, and CTH popped up. I loved the content so much, I kept coming. The posters in the comment section posted such tremedous informative links, CTH became my mainstay.

I guess I lurked for about 1-2 yrs before signing up and have been hanging around for the last 3-4 yrs.I wanted a different perspective than what TV was giving me and the place has room for GOD!which is a bad word on alot of platforms it seems.Then I started discovering Sundance’s abilities to put pieces into perspective that finished the puzzle/picture and I knew what I was looking at,Sundance is a good artist 🙂 We have a good solid group of quite a few good Christian people in this treehouse with me only measuring up to their faith in a small manner.I just know the Ole Man is there and I continue to pray that he give PDJT another term which I think is going to happen.God Bless love to you all Aka:jackal/Kevin

I found this site soon after President Trump’s election and Russia Collusion was being pushed. Nothing I read was giving me enough information and it didn’t make sense to me. I knew the MSM was lying to us and anything I found was ‘lite’ on real, true, detailed facts….I wanted truth and I wanted real American values, love of country and wanted our President, a Washington outsider, a NYer like me to succeed – I actually googled good Conservative sites and TCT was mentioned. Signed up for email updates, I check in everyday, blown away with what I’ve learned, disgusted as I see how corrupt sitting members of our government are… Senators that I actually rooted that are simply fake liars, sickened for what the deep state is doing… and loving the support for our President …. Trump.. the right man at the right time. Pray God he gets to continue.
I do hope the new comment section is easier. Word Press is a PIA to login!!! God Speed to all Patriots!!

Lead up to the 2016 election.Gateway pundit was one of the few sites championing candidate Trump. One of the commenters there said try out Treehouse, it is pretty good. Understatement of the century. Stayed and watched most every then candidate Trump speech carried by Treehouse. What I appreciated about the links is that I could see for myself what he was saying. I could bypass the propaganda media entirely. Now I can’t watch the MSM even for a minute–it is pure propaganda and I just don’t have the energy or time to deflect it to get to the truth.

I am still here because Sundance sets things up beautifully with his analysis but it is the threads that follow that really do it for me. Sometimes it is necessary to be a little selective–sorry not everyone who comments here is worth reading, some are very off the mark, but that isn’t too many. As the thread goes on gradually the answer comes for whatever issue is being talked about. This is so valuable because if I had to uncover the truth on my own, well there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do so.

I really appreciate the sincerity of the research and threads here. For example, I am surrounded by people with Trump Derangement Syndrome. So one of these individuals was mocking Sydney Powell and I said well if you are interested in the truth why don’t you read her filing when it comes out. That is exactly what I was able to do today thanks to the Treehouse. it doesn’t get more honest than that to get at the truth.

My only wish is that many millions more would use this site as their go to place to gain insight. It took me quite a few months of following this site to really get it but now my eyes hav been opened forever. How many get their information exclusively from lester holt and the rest–10 to 20 million? What if 50 million came to the treehouse everyday or what if one by one those 10 -20 million left to come here?

I found the Treehouse shortly after the 2016 election by way of a link in the Breitbart comment section. By that point I was completely dismayed at the level of crap couched as conservative thought posted by Fox and Breitbart. Drudge was already dead to me and while I dont doubt Gateway Pundits loyalty to fairness and truth, the self promotion and sensationalism is over the top.

So I was more than open for other options.

I have stayed because Sundance is an island of truth in a sea of lies. His insight and analysis is second to none.

The comment section here is by far the most insightful and thoughtful on the net. The Presidential Daily Thread has almost all the information and links that a Patriot needs. I wish I had enough hours to read every post. Grandmas prayers help bring peace of mind.

This place has kept me centered when all else seems chaos.

Thank you all, Treepers. Im sure my wife would thank you too because I get out a lot of my frustrations here among friends rather than take them out on those closer to me 😉

Is there a way to stop the stream of emails I’m getting from having posteda comment??

I found CTH during the 2015-2016 campaign. There was a link to CTH in a comment on Breitbart. I was a supporter of Donald Trump & I knew he was going to win. This site offered insightful articles. The commenters were definitely pro Trump & I felt comfortable on my branch ever since. This is the first site I check every morning & throughout the day. I have so many memories watching candidate Donald Trump’s rallies & President Trump’s rallies with the patriots here. All of us commenting throughout. This is my refuge for sure. We will get through these next few weeks. Keep praying fellow Deplorables. Our Lion will prevail!

I don’t post much, but I check this place every morning. I first found this place when you were the only one doing honest coverage of the Michael Brown case, and I become a devotee when you started covering Trump seriously during the primaries. I stick around because this place and the people on here give me hope for the future of my country.

I come here for truth period. I trust the information on this site and appreciate the hard work that goes into each transmission. You are definitely a daily go to site for me.

How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?
Complete contempt for other so called conservative websites…I truly believe they think we are mindless and incapable of thought or the ability to see though their bullshit.

What was it that brought you here?
Veritas

And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?
Because I found what I was looking for … “Customer satisfaction” off the charts. Many thanks Sundance and team!

Free Republic linked to a Conservative Treehouse opin, I was hooked from that point.

How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?
….
joined not long ago when the comment section was being closed to newbies
figured its now or never
long time lurker since 2015
I’m a turbo charged speed reader and I have read 95% of the comments posted here since then !
someone gave me a link to a article and I was hooked between the fact based researched articles
and crowd sourced opinions and relevant news thru the comment section

What was it that brought you here?…
I’m the type of person who comes unfiltered
I’m not afraid to speak my mind and say what I feel is right, consequences/feelings be damned

been following politics since Nixon / McGovern ’72
I never liked china sell out Slick Willy and Swine Hilda and I hated how they were fawned over in the media
and ,my dislike started for the republicans for not standing up back then
that is when I felt like they both played on the same team
as time went by confirmed my impressions
its not hard to figure out just using common sense
Bush and the warmonger country rebuilders
0bowel and his grifter minions lame act made me dislike them all even more

I always thought how much greater this country could be if our leaders were not corrupt sell outs

being not afraid to express my opinion and dislike for our obviously corrupt leaders
I have been bashed and insulted at times for my beliefs
but what makes them
really pissed off is I’m right most of the time and they know it.
when you have a strong opinion and don’t take crap from people
you better damn well have the correct information to back you up.
now you know where this place fits in
here is where you come closer to the truth then anywhere else I have found.
nothing is ever perfect

And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?

when America’s Grandma is tucking you into Bed every night
with her Beautiful Nightly Prayers
how could you ever leave ???

I found CTH, soon after the 2016 election, after seeing it referenced on either AmericanThinker or AmericanSpectator, I can’t remember which.

I was on those sites, having followed Faux news, then moved to Brietbart, which did good coverage of the 2016 Dem convention, but seemed to go down hill after the election.

Point is, I was looking. In addition to the poor “coverage” ob Brietbart and Fox, I had perused their “comments” sections, both Discus I believe.

And it seemed no matter what the article was about, when I read ghe comments, after 4-5 comments, it devolved into name calling and insults.

And then I stumbled into the treehouse, and found the home I didn’t know Iwas looking for!

The news and analyses, by Sundance was miles above anything I had ever seen. The research deep and wide, the no nonsense presentation,…refreshing.

And then I went into the comments section.
Oh, sure there were the usual things, people responding without thinking it thru, the people misreading and thereby misunderstanding others comments,…but there was a shared spirit, and purpose, and common understanding that this was a SPECIAL place, and we wanted to keep it that way.

I lurked for awhile, and then began to post comments. Some funny, cause thats just me; I have a “quick wit”,…with others, I began to express my thoughts, my opinions of various aspects of how the World works.

Not only, or even primarily to persuade others that MY WAY of seeing things was correct; that was THERE, but a distant second.

I can only know if my way of seeing things is “right”, if I subject it to critical scrutiny BY OTHERS. In my head, there is only “Me, myself and I, and by the time I am posting a comment, all 3 of us are in agreement.

I was born thinking “outside the box”, and its like anything else a mixed blessing. And, SOMETIMES I have flashes of inspiration.

But, IS IT VALID? IS IT “RIGHT”, or am I “off base”? Here, I found a place to “bounce my ideas off” of others, and refine my thinking, not just acknowledging when I was wrong, but actually grateful, cause I would rather endure the temporary sting to my ego of being “wrong”, than to continue seeing the world, having an incorrect view.

The Treehouse gave me such a safe space, in which to refine my World view, articles from Sundance that helped refine and further shape that view, and friends willing to critique my view, sometimes helping me to see the “wrongness”, at other times refining the “rightness”.

So, thats how I found the treehouse, and thats why I have stayed. Along with all the reasons for feeling deep gratitude to Sundance and the treehouse, as contained in the above explanation, ….

There is this; the Treehouse helped me find and develop my VOICE, and now that its developed, I know that I will carry it with me, forever.

On the move, I have had MANY times in life, when it SEEMED like life had kicked me in the teeth; going to prison, getting divorced, losing jobs, having my truck burn up.

In each of those instances, with HINDSIGHT (the FIRST thing you see, when you jerk your head oughts yer *ss) I realised I was actually grateful.

If I hadn’t gone to prison, I would have been dead, the path I was on. In time, Irealised Iwas SO GLAD Iwas no longer married to that woman, and of coarse wouldn’t have married the love of my life, happily married 20+ years,..if I hadn’t “lost” thos jobs, I wouldn’t have moved on to the much bettrr ones that followed, if the truck hadn’t burned up, I wouldn’t have got the two, much better trucks I have now.

I strongly feel that in 6 months to a year, we all may be very grateful to WordPress. By kicking us off, even if unceremoniously, it will put us in a MUCH better place.
In fact I KNOW it!

So, looking forward to our NEW, BIGGER and better home, and with only a quick, nostagic look back at the old, too small and worn out one,…and yes a Mickie salute at the landlord that evicted us.

Lets DO this!

I bookmarked this site when I found it through a link from somewhere to read an article about the Jessica Chambers murder. Being from N MS I was watching that case with interest. Then the other political stories/investigations held my interest and now it’s a daily thing to check the treehouse for detailed explanations.

sundance, I am more than happy to answer a few questions for you.
My wife and I found CTH from a link in another article, probably from Drudge or some other place that is no longer conservative. That was back in 2014 or 15.
We came in search of truth and information that was Not MSM spin or biased TV shows etc.
Having found more than enough truth to last us a lifetime, we would not miss a day of fact finding truth honesty and humor. Both from CTH staff and from the many awesome Treepers we have come to recognize as “Regulars” over the years. The information amassed on these pages is astounding and we look very forward to seeing it yet again and even better on CTH 2.0
It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of and we will be along for as long as we are around and you are.
Thank you for everything, all of CTH staff.We love you.

Truth lead me to the Treehouse.

Five years ago I google searched for “conservative news sites”.
That is how I found CTH.
I am so glad about that.
I relate to my family about all of you.
My son visits sometimes. He is a super duper American patriot.
He likes Dr Steven Turley’s YouTube.
My husband & daughter like to hear what you all have to say, especially Sundance.
???

I was reading Bongino’s show notes one day, I don’t remember the date but it was way before his Spygate book came out and he credited CTH with exposing some very interesting facts on the whole Russia collusion hoax. Bongino provided a link to your site. I have been going to your site every day, twice a day since then. I go to your site because CTH has an uncanny way of uncovering the truth, connecting the dots and exposing the lies and fraud. My eyes have been opened and I HAVE TO HAVE the truth. I HAVE to have to be able to go to the Last Refuge. I tell all my friends to check your site every day if they want to know what’s really happening in the Deep State. Thank you! You’re a godsend!

I have been following CTH since at least 2012 because I remember the articles regarding Trayvon Martin. I believe a post from either Lucianne.com or Breitbart directed me to this site.

The articles along with the crowdsourcing replies keep us on the cutting edge of information.

There are so many of us here that are believers. It gives me great hope as we lift our President and Country up to God. Romans 8:28

Simply put I was following a blog titled The Markets Work by Jeff Carlson, who I think also contributes to Epoch. I believe he referenced CTH in a entry on free trade and tariffs. I followed the link, read the CTH article and then began reading a few more, BOOM, I have been hook ever since. Read daily, rarely comment.

Came here on a recommendation from a friend who said that the truth and insightful analysis could be found here. He was right.

Now, I come here several times a day and will continue to do so because of the integrity, honesty, intelligence, patriotism, and courage of Sundance, who, in my opinion, is a modern day compilation of Thomas Paine and Nathan Hale. His “common sense” is a beacon of light in an otherwise dark plain of ignorance, malfeasance, and obfuscation in the arena of commentary. His Common Sense is coupled to a fearless determination to serve his nation, regardless of the price to be paid. In short, I choose to think of him as a warrior using words and ideas, in the same way that I was a warrior who used an airplane with missiles and guns. We both were/are willing to “protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic”. Additionally, I have learned that there are many other “warriors” who are Treepers and as the old saying goes; birds of a feather flock together. What ever it takes!

I got here thru a Top 10 list of conservative websites. I admit I didn’t really take in all the links and reference materials at first.

It was summer of 2016. I was just sick of the roller coaster of MSM. I gave up on most stations in early 2000s. I was in the military with first-hand knowledge all day long, came home to see all this twisted garbage reported. I knew there was always another side to each story that was being totally ignored. I had read Bernie Goldberg’s book 2001. He verified what I knew, things were not being reported.

All of that disjointed reporting came to a head in summer 2016. All the Hillary PR was egregious. She has lied over and over and broken so many laws. For my sanity, I went looking for anyone out there who wasn’t buying the load. I returned several more times to CUT thru Lucianne.com links. I loved that I could pray here.

I celebrated here in Nov 2016. I counted on the Treehouse and Dan Bongino to keep me grounded during all those attacks on the President and his administration. “Wait 24 hrs…it will be bogus.”.

Mostly, I was just so astonished to learn there were so many of us that knew we could expect so much more from our leaders! And by more, I mean less government, and what we do allow government to do, we can demand more truth, justice, and transparency. We The People want our Republic back. I learned to be confident in speaking with others and went boldly into my “town square”. I had a digital education and I went looking to share it. I found a LOT of shy Trump voters…better known as Patriots. I am grateful…always.

I was seeking some kind of clarity some semblance of reason from the rabid everyday main stream media.
I needed to find people that felt like me.If we didn’t do something now,it would be too late.
I was all in for our President from the day he said he would run.
He was echoing what I had been complaining about for years.
In this place,this library,,,,I could sit and read and find truth.It’s that simple.
I was shocked,and couldn’t believe the way he was being attacked,it was just crazy to me.
With every attack,it was take a deep breath,wait and see.I would hurry here to see what was the real story.
It helped me through scary days,mad days,helpless days.
It is a comfort when you can be around like minded people,who help you see through all the garbage.
It’s like looking at a building on a cold night,and there is a warm light shining from it’s windows.
Welcoming all who seek truth.

I’ve only been around for about a year. Originally I stuck around because of the information based comment section which this blog had at the time. Now I stick around for the information in the articles, and because I am in awe of Sundance’s writing skills.

there are never any typos. never. all the other news outlets are swimming in typos ever since spellcheck became a substitute for editors. the superb command of the language gives one courage to read the attached evidence with the tell them what you are gonna tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them approach to sharing facts.

been a reader here since 2015 but cannot remember how i got lucky and found you.

I became aware of CTH through my husband sometime early 2016, how he found this place, no one knows.
I came here to read in depth analysis for Spy/Russia/ObamaGate as the articles contained references to the actual documents, only Sundance was going into that amount of detail that I could find. I also look forward to the economic analysis (main street vs wall st was an eye opener). I like data, not hyperbole or summaries. Mainly, I want the truth and not the spin.
Also the commenters here have had some pretty good insights, and currently I find myself following links from them to other sites or videos with different info. I don’t tend to comment unless I have something to say that is unique. I think this makes #3.

It was sometime during the Oblamer years.
Rush Limbaugh read from one of Sundance’s articles. At the moment I can’t recall what the subject was. I also brought another truth seeker with me.
I kept coming back because of the honest and unique perspective. Especially though for the comment section for up to the minute reports on what’s really going on. On every occasion some comments would be prophetic,
humorous ,or included a link to other helpful and encouraging input.
Fortunately because of Faux’s blunder new sources are coming to light. So good for those who are stepping up to fill the void.
And the fact that Christians are made to feel welcome that was a huge thing for me. Because many cannot tolerate quotes from the good book!!! But I can’t live without them.

From Joel, on a branch since around 2010-11,
“Battered Conservative Syndrome” and the anti-Constitutional attacks from “enemies foreign and domestic” drove to this site for rest, understanding and encouragement.
Someone(maybe Zurich Mike) on Lucianne posted a reference to The Conservative Treehouse ? ? and it’s been all illumination and encouraging analysis and community comments from that time from about a decade ago.
I frequently share posts from Sundance and the noted comments to my friends and family multiple communications formats.
Quite simply the best overall insightful and community of fellowship in these areas regarding our freedoms and liberties founded by our forefathers and mothers and the examination of our “enemies” strategies and tactics.
God bless you one and all dear Treepers -Joel

How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?….

I followed the site on and off until 2015 when I began to lurk daily for information about the 2016 election. I was content to just read the articles and comments. After some time, I wanted to join in with the discussion with other Treepers. I had left Fakebook because, well fakebook, and the election brought out the worst in friends I had known for decades that disagreed with my opinion.

I didn’t officially join up until late 2016. Been here ever since enjoying the writing and the commenters.

What was it that brought you here?…

Like many Treepers it was a Travon Martin/George Zimmermann story. Not sure of the date, late 2013 or early 2014. In January 2012 I had just completed my requirements for concealed carry. I was very much interested in stories about people defending themselves and how they handled the situation. I followed the story and it was just a convoluted mess as presented by MSM which is where I was getting all my information at that time.

I kept searching for a different angle because all the MSM reporting was homogenous, but it just didn’t match the smell test. I was searching around for better information and literally stumbled onto an article that didn’t follow the MSM narrative and conclusions – it was so refreshing and had an air of truth that others did not possess. After that moment I was hooked. There just seemed to be no agenda but pursuit of the truth with deeper researching and reporting of the facts and presenting a conclusion based on those facts.

And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?

I stuck around because of the writing style of Sundance as well as his insight gained by thorough research in topics such as politics, culture and geo/political economics. The economics discussions have been particularly interesting and insightful and provide a vastly different view than that the financial rags (WDJ, Barron’s, Fortune) and shows (CNBC) that I once drank freely.

Suffice it to say I have curtailed those publications and telecasts and modified my world/USA economic view with a CTH critical eye. Now when I read a 10-K or other financial report, my opinion of a company is weighted with a CTH view. Once you have seen, it cannot be unseen. Truth right there.

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the give and take and openness/acceptance of the discussion with the community (truly) of Treepers. CTH has some great folks! These are the endeavors I find of great value.

2012 and the Trayvon Martin:George Zimmerman research on this blog was my initiation. The amount of clear information without the fog of the main stream media is how I stumbled into this blog. Then I realized that not only was the research without a bias of any nature but was simply the naked truth. The truth will set you free. Then I noticed every day started with the Lords Prayer. A second blessing. The input from the “tree members” was like a cacophony of opinions and input from all walks of life. This was a huge tree.!! I have been reading it every day since February of 2012. What a joy! Don’t post too often but sure am glad to be sitting on a limb!!

Like many, I can’t remember when I first saw the Treehouse, or how I arrived here…sometime during Obamadom. But it was a constant daily read after that. It’s just a nice place to go, simple as that! Oh ya, the ideals, philosophies, and values, there is that! Thank you Sundance, and also all the wonderful Treepers for helping this one navigate the perilous waters we are in. I will follow you to the new tree!! God bless you!

Became aware of this place during the Zimmerman trial. Stayed because it was one of the few places I knew of at the time where sane, rational, like minded people were. I’ve always valued Sundances take on an issue because even though sometimes I don’t completely agree, they are always well researched, well thought out and well laid out.

I’m actually glad the place is moving. The past month or so this platform gives my computer fits, often causing it to freeze. I figure it’s the WordPress fascists trying to silence us all.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I came here looking for truth on the massacre of the Banditos at Waco Tx back in 2015
I have friends in the club and what they described was counter to what the media was reporting

I stuck around because, regardless of the topic, the reporting is spot on and verifiable

I am lurking from a small rural community in South Australia. My family background is working class and I have changed careers several times over the years. I have always read widely including science fiction, Ayn Rand and George Orwell. American politics has always been a mystery to me. When Ronald Reagan ran for President, all reporting in Australia was sneering. When Sarah Palin ran for election, the vicious personal attacks were disgusting. Ronald Reagan turned out to be an excellent President and Margaret Thatcher rebuilt Britain. I have learned many lessons from their example.
When Donald Trump was nominated, I recognised the pattern of denigration. It was apparent that President Obama was a poser lecturing other nations while America lost sight of its working class.
i searched for alternative viewpoints to the mockery presented by Australian media and discovered the Catallaxy blog. Links from these posters led me to conservative U.S. blogs including The Drudge Report (since abandoned), Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit and American Thinker as well as The Conservative Treehouse. The last four sites are now visited daily and I can only marvel at the disconnect between what I learn here as against what the MSM reports in Australia.
I will never be able to vote in the U.S. but can only support from a distance by pointing out those inconvenient facts not reported when people make ignorant comments. I rely on CTH to provide me with ammunition.
I will never give up hope that freedom will return.

I found this exquisite tree house sometime after Andrew Breitbart died 2011-2012. I am forever searching for truth and trustworthy resources to help me understand the complexities of the times we travel through. I am blessed to have found this refuge and the expanded consciousness it has given to me in all areas. The humor of the comments at times was truly off the charts, Good times, Good people and Sundance shining light through every nook and cranny. Learning, growing, laughing. A wonderful, refreshing place to be.

I joined CTH during news coverage of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. At this time, I don’t have any memory of how I found this wonderful group. I’m sure God led me here. Sundance’s willingness 2 shine the spotlight of truth on the ugliness has been enlightening. I trust his diligence 2 search 4 truth. CTH is the only information source I value. Thank u Sundance and Treepers 4 making this place a safe haven. I look 4ward 2 our new home! God bless all of you and President Trump.

Hi Sundance.

It was your early posts/writings on Cliven Bundy that started me checking out CTH from time to time. I was getting information and POV that just wasn’t available elsewhere.

I became a regular reader/contributor once DJ Trump entered the fray and have never stopped checking CTH several times a day.

Thru 2016 campaign I was so well informed of what was happening because of CTH that I felt empowered with the knowledge and perspective by consuming CTH. It gave me an Information base and POV that few others had. Especially those who relied on MSM for their information.

Also, the comment community is equally informative. I learn as much from other Treepers as I do from the in depth content of your posts.

All in all, the CTH threads are a powerful tool to understanding what the hell is going on.

Thanks for everything you do.

“How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?….”

I used to be a fairly regular reader and commenter at another site. It was the only site I was really familiar with and was my home for a while. I loved it. It was so much fun and good people there that I liked. Then things got ugly and so I left home. I came here because of some links posted in the comments at the other site and I became interested.

What was it that brought you here?…

Two things brought me here, Sundance. One was your writing, which I thought was superb after reading your work. I have a weakness for good writing. Sometimes you are spot on and straight to the heart of things, sometimes I disagree vehemently and think you are out of your ever lovin’ mind, but I ALWAYS know that, even if I disagree, your work will be well worth reading.

The other thing that brought me here was that you were willing to go to Washington and enter the belly of the beast to find out what was really going on with the Big Ugly. I admired that so much. You were not just a spectator like others, but someone who wanted to DO something about it. That is rare. I wanted to be here to support that effort.

“And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?”

I developed an affinity for the Treepers. Very decent people who have much to offer. I am interested in what they have to say. At first, I wasn’t sure that I could cut it here. Sometimes I’m still not sure, because I tend to be somewhat boisterous and irreverent. But I had read your guidelines a number of times. Sometimes I still look at them on occasion. They have been very helpful.

Thank you, Sundance. And thank you, Treepers. Live long and prosper.

I discovered CTH back around 2012 via referenced links posted on occasion by commenters first at Hot Air (where I commented regularly before they gave the middle fingers to the best part of the site — their commenters — by going first #NeverTrump and then to Facebook comments to eliminate all of us deplorables.

I switched over to Ace of Spades HQ to join in the fun and comments (despite it being quite vulgar at times as opposed to Sundance and the CTH) where again there would be occasional references and links to posts here. After President Trump was elected, I started lurking daily — and finally began commenting sparingly about one year ago (since I comment primarily for amusement and entertainment, and this is more a place of seriousness and reverence — a real high-class joint).

The primary reason I’ve stuck around is, being a very detail-oriented/OCD type, I appreciate the tremendous research and commitment to facts, logic, and the truth — coupled with the inspirational, positive, and optimistic messages regularly conveyed. Thanks for all you do, Sundance!

I’m not really sure how I landed here, but I know it was a grace. It was somewhere around 2015. I don’t post much because the aforementioned WordPress has been a pain and I’m glad you’re moving on! I love the research, the spirit here, the fellow ragamuffins. Sundance and admins are a national treasure.

I was brought here by a link long forgotten from another website likely Breitbart, American Thinker, Instapundit or Powerline.
I stayed because the articles posted are intelligent, informative, reliable and provide an insight into the swamp that most other sites do not possess.
I appreciate the patient cautions to commenters to follow civility and other protocols set by Sundance and further appreciate the discernment and charitable forbearance in moderating adherence to those guidelines.
