How did I find myself a member of the CTH community?
My path here was by chance. Jack Cashill was a classmate of mine during high school. I had read a number of his books when I came across his “If I Had A Son.” This was in 2015 long after it had been published. There was still at that time considerable dispute within my rather diverse family about just what had happened that fateful night in Florida.
In the book, Jack detailed the work that Treepers had done to uncover the truth. He emphasized the fact that CTH was dedicated to truth and not to a particular outcome. This intrigued me and led me to get on the internet and find out for myself just what CTH had to offer.
The rest as they say was history. I found a diverse community that reflected many of my values. I gained insights on various issues that I might never have seen. CTH became a “must read” every day. The quality of the content and the diverse background of those who visit and share their insights keeps me coming back.

Years ago I loved a website that was very much like The Conservative Treehouse.

One day the person who ran that site wrote about how they were being targeted because of their deep conservative work on their website. That person was being physically threatened in ways I won’t write here, but any of you who shared that site with me back then know what I’m talking about.

The header on that site said something to the effect, ‘Because liberalism is a mental disorder’; a sentiment I firmly believe.

That site, and the person who ran it, told everyone they would be leaving — they would be shutting their doors — and that is what they did.

A few years later, in my quest to find a replacement for the fabulous site I lost, I found another fabulous site called The Conservative Treehouse. I read, and read, and read, posted now and then, but mostly I read.

When Jessica Chambers was brutally murdered by being set on fire I started posting more.

In 2015 my husband and I moved to a new area in Minnesota, a place where no one knew us, and no one knew I had ever been involved with politics before. I had been a Republican hippie for Nixon back in the early 1970s and by the late 1970s had become a Democrat, volunteering for a young Democrat for Mayor of St. Paul, Norm Coleman, and volunteered for many other Dems including Michael Dukakis for Pres — where I saw with sickening clarity how much money the dems have to waste of frivolous “stuff.”

When my hubby and I decided to go someplace few people ever go for our 10th wedding anniversary, then President Ronald Reagan helped us decide where we’d go — to the evil empire of the U.S.S.R. At 28 and 29 we spent 10 days seeing first hand what socialism is, and we knew it was evil..

We came home to the United States of America conservatives, capitalists and Republicans — around the same time Norm Coleman also switched parties, so I once again volunteered for Norm Coleman, I became active in the Tea Party, I volunteered for the Bushes and all the other Republican losers, until the words my husband had been saying for years finally rang true in my ears — there is no Republican Party, there is no Democrat Party, there is only the Uniparty.

My husband had been saying that since the first Bush was in office, all the while I volunteered for the people he saw as snakes.

So when we moved to a new area one of the first things I told my husband was, ‘He was right, there is only one party and it is the uniparty,’ and I told him I was TOTALLY DONE WITH ALL THINGS POLITICAL.

One month later my husband and I watched live as Donald Trump announced his bid to become the President of the United States. Donald said everything my husband and I and every sane American had been saying for years, and he had the strength, the conviction, the knowledge and the courage to stand and say it against all the PC speak of the day. When Donald was done speaking I turned to my husband and said, “I’m diving in again, but only for HIM.”

I loved the Treehouse for the common sense, truthful, knowledge I could get here that I could not get anywhere else — and get it without the customary knife-in-my-back that came when watching “conservative FOX and friends” (FAUX and fiends was more like it), so I wasn’t going anywhere.

BUT!!! When I discovered that The Conservative Treehouse and Sundance was all in for Donald Trump for President from the very start I knew — this was the only place to be. Seeing Sundance’s illustration of how the uniparty planned on having all the candidates fall away until only Hillary and Bush 3.0 remained in 2016, and then he compared that to what had taken place before, I felt relieved others knew the devastatingly evil “Swamp” Donald Trump spoke of.

I dove in big time for Donald Trump/President Trump and came back out beaten and bloodied. I know Sundance and many others on this site have done amazing, sometimes heartbreaking things to help the greatest President these United States has ever had — Donald J. Trump.

More than anything we do, I cannot imagine how one man, President Donald J. Trump, can keep going as he does and keep fighting as he does in the face of never ending abuse, but oh how thankful I am to the Lord everyday that He has given us this man for such a time as this.

Why do I stay? Well, as the tears run down my cheeks I can tell you they are there because this is my home and you are my people. I read my brothers and sisters anger, grief, sadness, trials, joys, smarmy-but-oh-so-true remarks, and everything else — knowing “we” are all around the world — and I am there with each one of you. I may not answer every comment, but I am there with you. I may not say an “Amen” to every prayer, but I pray with you. I may not tell each one of you that I know you, but I feel like I do.

There’s a store in upstate New York I’d like to visit someday, just to say hello to the man who refuses to wear a mask, and maybe buy a few things to make sure his business stays open. There’s a woman who lives alone and is afraid that I’d like to rescue and bring to my home. There are people on here who are my family, and this is my branch on this conservative treehouse.

Simple…The truth lives here! Stopped in for a visit from a linked article in 2015 regarding something about our very own “Donald MaximusTrump” and ended staying for dinner, then desert, then for the weekend,,,,and ,,,well you know.

Absolutely the best analysis anywhere. Most well reasoned commentary on any site.

Late in 2015, or very early in 2016, I followed a link in Breitbart’s comment section. I have prayed for the person who dropped that link many times. It led me to a picture of politicians splitting into two parties every election season to parade around pretending to be different. Your explanation of the Uni-Party made everything click; the puzzle piece was found.

For years, and years, I’d cheered the “right” person getting elected only to be totally disappointed and confused. I just didn’t understand that it was all an act; that they were all fat off the same money. During those same years, I was just as confused as to what was happening to my Catholic Church. Now I know they have both been invaded by the same entities’ money.

When I found you, I got rid of all TV and radio. This is the first place I have ever commented; had to teach myself how to do it. When I wanted to share a video clip but said I didn’t know how so I was describing it instead, another person (Gloria?) jumped right in and posted it for me. Then she explained exactly how to do it. The Treehouse was so different than other sites; kind people and no need to slog through any filth. The Our Father posted on the home page made me feel at home.

I have learned so much – how global trade (limes) works, how the Red Dragon thinks, what went on in Benghazi, what McCain was up to in Iraq, and so much more. You gave me access to primary documents and videos of current happenings like Congressional Hearings. I can’t thank you enough. As a bonus, I got Thanksgiving recipes and other fun things from Menagerie and some restful things from the Open Thread and Chapel.

The comments are always so full of information and links that I would never know about. They have been a real plus to my life. I used to read all of them, but now there are too many for me to do that.

Thank you Sundance and Mods, and all others who hang out here and add your 2 cents from time to time. Thank you for allowing me to add my 2 cents too.

My journey to the Treehouse began with a search for kindred spirits during the early 2016 presidential election campaign. I was fascinated by Trump as a candidate and found myself agreeing with every policy he unveiled, but everywhere I read ( MSM writ large), he was ridiculed. I finally hit on Treehouse as a link somewhere, and I immediately knew I had stumbled upon a group of like minded people, led by their tireless researcher, Sundance, whose analysis is more thorough and in depth than I ever could have imagined was available anywhere. I have checked in almost every day, since.

ok call me crazy but…
I followed CTH thru the last four years for information on what was happening in politics etc and it always struck me as curious that Sundance and crew defined the roadmap to how we would arrive at this point in time, and were able to shape the narrative on every story. Nobody can achieve that without being an insider or inside-connected, period. They seemed to know what every political maneuver, every info drop, every move and counter-move was aimed at…as if they were writing the script. Understanding information warfare and the ‘great awakening’, logic dictates that the public must be led to awakening without realizing they’re being led. Instinct made me think that Sundance and crew were leading in this way, and the timing of this ‘eviction’ and subsequent/coming changes seems rather convenient to affirm said instinct. My instincts rarely deceive me. So with that said, take a break boys, smoke if you got ’em. See you on the other side.

I can’t remember how I first found CTH or when. I have remained because of reliability. I can always come here and find original video, either clips or full videos, when needed. I can count on finding official documentation to support the issue at hand. I know that you have been piecing all of the information paying attention to details and timelines. There may have been a time or two I didn’t wholeheartedly agree with your direction, but I could trust that you went forward thoughtfully and carefully. Thank you for your dedication to truth and honor in building the CTH community. There will always be a home for CTH in media. Praying for great success in taking your next step.

Came from comments at Lucianne.com.

Thank you Sundance for all the lessons. Your eviction by the enemies of the people is unforgivable. This like 1984.

Hmm… I will pray that your decision regarding this exit feels right to you, Sundance. Rejection (ejection) commands grace in my book. (Bye. And yes, I might be flicking you off with both hands, in my head). Something better is always ahead. Praise God.

I believe God lead me to CTH. Candidate Trump was cracking me up so much that I had to ask my mom if this was “normal.” He was calling women, “Honey or Darling,” as I assumed “Donald” probably did, during Townhall events, and he was just funny/ atypical to me!

The entertainment value was lost with the Chris Matthews interview on abortion. The question was hypothetically factual, his answer was hypothetically factual. If against the law, should there be punishment? “Yes, I think you have to.”

The media flipped out, saying he was trying to throw his chances on purpose… And I became worried. My whole family had wanted a businessman in the Office for years. I can only pinpoint that moment, then landing here after I prayed! (Thank God)!

About CTH:
I said ‘the’ bad word (the F one) in one of my first posts, and I believe it was Ad Rem who put a bar of soap in my mouth, but it was mild and berry scented, and I learned my lesson. CTH has the absolute best moderators!

Sundance, the research and information you provide is often overwhelming. Literally. I love it when I understand your articles! Sometimes, I just can’t grasp all of the political dimensions, even though you clearly state and explain what’s going on and why. I probably choose to be naive, but I do try to understand. I prefer to believe in the good of others. (Also, kinda dumb!)

I love CTH, especially, because its site creator is a God-fearing man seeking truth, surrounded by Angels (including all moderators).

I’m praying for ALL of the CTH community. Our branches are strong!

The truth of conservatism, the thought
provocation and the ability to reach right conclusions is what brought and kept me here!
America needs all three to boldly go i”and claim the future!

I used to read a blog about fence sitters. I can’t remember the name of it anymore but they always reposted your articles and after a while I just started coming directly to your site and I never left.

I have been a hard science AGW sceptic since 2005, and thereby learned to bypass the Lamescream Misleadia long ago.

I became a CTH follower during the madness of the 2016 election cycle. As a non US citizen, it was difficult to get any realistic commentary or reporting on the election. All establishment media (including Faux) were hell-bent on preventing a Trump win, and news aggregators like Drudge were playing a game I knew too well. Sundance’s commentary and analysis stood out over anything published in American Thinker or Federalist.

But not just that, the comments were the content. I often use the comparison of 17 century political debate in France to our modern age. Moderated blogs = salons with host and rules. News sites with one sentence comments = coffee house.

A good salon/blog is easy to spot. The readers are contributors, and they are reading and interacting because of the content provided by other readers/contributors, not just responding to content provided by the host. (In Australia, Andrew Bolt once ran a successful blog where reader comments were 99% of the content people were coming for. Then he blew it, because he’s not that smart).

Reading CTH during the 2016 madness, I couldn’t look away as Spygate started to unravel. It was like the climate wars, but at triple speed.

I’m a AGW sceptic. I’ve been through the Internet wars. A small group armed with just the Internet and science, brought a global outbreak of Lysenkoism to a halt. And many of us suffered great personal cost. Doxed. Sacked. Socially ostracized. But we achived the unthinkable. Copenhagen 2009 was a bust. And in 2016, an AGW sceptic was elected President of the United States of America.

Billions of dollars, every Lamescream Misleadia shill, both sides of the Uniparty, the academic bureaucracy and every Soros funded “activist” vs a handful of scattered disidents, continents appart, with only the Internet, tip jars and an understanding of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and radiative physics. We punched their lying faces to custard.

I saw Sundance, CTH, the overworked moderators and the readers/contributors were fighting a second information war. A war many readers will now understand is more critical than just striking down a global outbreak of Lysenkoism.

WordPress deplatforming? You have arrived! (Big tech already played this game against those citizens defending the scientific method). They wouldn’t bother if they didn’t fear you! They haven’t learnt from losing the first information war of the Internet age: if you have to censor, the truth is not on your side, and anybody who sees the censorship knows this.

I look forward to reading and contributing to this multi branched information tree beyond the wordpress censorship. It may have a focal site, or it maybe a floating distributed network. My comment behavior will remain as before: cutting, acerbic, foul mouthed and maybe occasionally insightful.

Sundance you should continue because: you won, you just don’t see it yet.

My theory is that someone knows what a great researcher and dot-connector you are and needs to keep you busy during the two month period prior to the transition so that you can’t find and disseminate all the evidence of fraud by the dems.

Put someone else to put in charge of the website and find all the wrongdoing you can and bring it into the light before it is too late!!!

Please!

First, I appreciate Sundance’s pursuit of the truth.

Stationed in Germany at the time, I grew curious and angry at the Obama administration’s decisions and clear direction. I began searching out other “news” outlets and stumbled upon an article at the treehouse. I bookmarked it and visited frequently. I was not a supporter of DJT in the 2016 primary – I was wholly behind Ted Cruz, and my checking account can attest to it. However, I believe DJT was appointed by God Himself to give this great nation a chance. I am on the email list from the treehouse and it’s my first stop everyday upon waking. Like Rush, the treehouse is irreplaceable.

I have no idea of the logistics of moving CTH from Word Press, Good luck sundance.
This is one of my favorite sites for answers in polotics

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

I recognized that I was finally reading articles written by a person of integrity, who researched and documented his sources. How could I not be attracted to that. Within a few weeks of stumbling upon CTH I knew that I wanted to be a member of the community. A community of flawed people, struggling to find the truth and trying to make the world a better place.

What was it that brought you here?…

I think that it was a poster making a comment on a vile Yahoo article that recommended visiting CTH. The Yahoo article was a big lie, most of the commenters were horrible people that didn’t have any valid arguments or intelligent conversation. It was a total cesspool. I had conversed with a colleague that there were no decent news sources and just about every “news” outlet rarely cited sources (“person familiar with the matter”, “officials agree”, “highly placed sources related the following”, “a person unwilling to be named”, etc., etc.)

I was actively looking for real journalism, in other words, a journalist that could cite references and sources for material. I saw that immediately once I found CTH.

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

I visited CTH and Sundance’s article was a breath of fresh air. Sources were cited and there was inciteful analysis which shed light on the bigger picture. I was blown away. Then there were the comments, which continued to blow me away.

There were people commenting that had cogent, reasoned arguments and everyone was civil. There were lawyers, medical professionals, engineers, military professionals, law enforcement professionals, accountants, marketing people, building contractors, retail people, truckers, politicians, teachers, mathematicians, outdoorsmen, etc., etc. In other words, people, good people from every profession giving their points of view.

Let me repeat that: PEOPLE WERE CIVIL, RESPECTFUL AND HAD INTELLIGENT DISCOURSE. People that disagreed, argued respectfully. There were few personal attacks. That is huge. Most of the internet is a cesspool of personal attacks, non-intelligence, filth, race-baiting, etc.

I am a physicist and engineer. I feel enriched by hearing the opinions of people of so many backgrounds. I am very privileged in many ways. I liked hearing about what truckers were experiencing, what doctors were experiencing, etc. In a lot of cases, it was not good.

I was not particularly religious, in spite of being brought up in a Christian family. My scientific training encouraged a non-religious belief system.

I feel like CTH has rekindled my interest and belief in Christianity. So many members are devout Christians (& maybe other religions).

I have witnessed events in the comment sections that I can only explain as miracles brought about by faith and community within this weird and wonderful virtual community. It became apparent to me that group prayer does in fact have a significant effect.

I am striving to learn more about Christianity and want to become closer to those in my family that have chosen to become faithful long before me.

I now find it hard to fathom a world without CTH. I’m sure that I would survive, but it would be a world vastly diminished in knowledge and joy.

I came because you were able to articulate what I could not say for myself. Through the comments of alternative news sites, I was able to find CTF because you were the intelligent, sober voice that everyone kept quoting when things really mattered and it turned out those quotes were true.
Thank you for your service and love.

CTH

I found your website after the 2016 election. I’m 70 years old and have never in my life gotten involved in politics. Never paid attention to it until president Trump came along. Couldn’t vote for Hillary. I figured lesser of two evils . Unfortunately, I voted for Obama, not once but twice. I don’t vote for party. What I have learned in 4 years angers me and I feel like I was fooled by Obama. I wasn’t really listening or staying informed. Smooth talker.
I’m really scared for this country. Not for me, but for my children and grandchildren.
I respect your honesty and valves. Hope you continue to fight. Will follow you where ever you land

I’ve been reading for over four years but never left a comment until now. Someone over at r/the_donald recommended this site. This is the only website which has fully explained why Trump does what he does, especially when it comes to economics. Also, Sundance explains complicated issues in a way I can understand. This is now the website I always check every night for insight on what’s really important.

I too found the CTH when the Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman story was making headlines. I was searching for FACTS and missing information that the MSM seemed disinterested in researching and reporting on. The Treehouse was indeed a refuge from that time forward, always providing the missing information and unreported facts that always seemed to go mysteriously ignored with almost all other media outlets.

When ALL of the facts are presented, a story starts to make a LOT more sense, and the CTH has never disappointed from that first discovery onward with it’s exhaustive research on whatever story it’s delving into. And the facts are presented in context, and in a detailed, thorough and straight-forward manner.

Also, the political insight is second to none, helping me to understand behind-the-scenes baseball that I would otherwise have no idea of – again, this insight provides context for which the facts can be better understood. There really is no other website that I’ve found with this level of understanding of ALL the issues in the relevant stories that the Treehouse covers – political or otherwise (though almost every story seems to be politically infected these days).

So all of these things are what keep me contributing and coming back to the Treehouse. The CTH remains one of my primary daily news sources, and I’m eternally grateful for the fine folks that operate this website, and keep us all educated.

Coming out of the shadows to post – –

I’ve been lurking here for years. I’m not sure how exactly I found the site, but two things brought me back time and again.
The truth and the knowledge. It wasn’t just Sundance who has a tremendous wealth of knowledge. The people posting in the comments section do as well. When something big would happen, the first place I’d turn for an explanation of what happened was here.
I think this is the second time I’ve posted, which is highly unusual for me.

A friend told me about your site. I have continued to frequent CTH because the truth matters to me. Whether the truth discredits the statements of fact spoken by someone whose words I had grown to trust in and supported in the past, or the truth gives some credence to someone I am in total opposition to, it makes no difference. The truth means everything. There is no gray area or middle ground. There can be no negotiation of truth. The globalist agenda requires a different kind of truth, one that is no longer rooted in factual information. Only a fool forms an opinion , takes a stand, or makes a decision without gathering the facts. But every vehicle for information is controlled by entities that have an agenda and a purpose. It’s not to uncover or bring to light the truth. The unadulterated truth in their hands is of little value. They can only gain ground if the truth is abetting their agenda, otherwise the truth is inconsequential. “Unnamed sources”, “high ranking officials in the administration”, “a source close to” etc
Are the leads in followed by fill in the blanks and print it. Not one ounce of truth is required. None. They self police and there are no consequences to their lies whether they are members of the media or members of Congress. Yet, we the people can be prosecuted for lying to Congress or any other government entity to the full extent of the law. Ask General Flynn about how that works. Now you know why the treehouse matters to me. Theories? Yes. Hunches? Yes. Opinions? Yes. Beliefs? Yes. All based upon careful investigations of facts. Truth matters. Keep shining a light on it.

Several years ago, I had come across a mention of Sundance and this site on another conservative blog. I loved the article I read from CTH and found Sundance to be honest and very insightful. I am unapologetically American and have grown absolutely disgusted with the state of American politics. Our government is absolutely corrupt and has been for many years.
This site brought needed refuge for me from the lying media. I thank you Sundance for you time and effort, your willingness to do what you do to bring truth.
I will continue to be a part of CTH and hope to add to the conversation.

What was it that brought you here?

Trayvon Martin analysis gave a perspective different than MSM. Analysis was detailed, well reasoned, and turned out to be spot on.

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

Community created by quality of comments from readers. Especially enjoy some of the expert input, and links provided by other readers.

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

I read a couple of other good conservative websites. They cover the headlines but they don’t dig deep (granular detail). I go to CTH for in depth research, expert analysis, and informative commentary.

Who introduced me to CTH? My wife. Why do I continue to read CTH? Because of your in- depth research and analysis of the American political process.

In the early days of 2015, at the beginning of the Presidential Primary Season, my wife shared an article with me that she had read on CTH. I don’t remember the exact article, but I was impressed with the style and content of the post. I had been a political junkie since the early days of my childhood when my mother would drag me to precinct meetings and to the County Republican Headquarters in North Texas. I loved politics and I dreamed of running for Congress one day. I studied Political Science at a local Texas State University and I interned for my local Congressman, who extended me an open invitation to join his staff upon completion of my degree. I never took my Congressman’s offer as life events led me in a different career direction. I, however, continued to remain current on the political events at the local, state, and national level. I considered myself to be a highly educated and informed voter and citizen…until the 2016 Presidential primaries.

As I watched the Democratic and Republican primaries unfold during 2015, I wanted to throw up my hands in disgust and despair, as everything I had learned of Presidential campaigns and elections were tossed out the proverbial window. I half joked to my wife and friends that I was going to mail by Political Science diploma back to the University, as nothing made political sense to me anymore. Then I started reading CTH posts, and soon my political equilibrium returned. What I soon discovered was that major shifts in the political, economic, and business landscape had occurred during the preceded two decades, and I, along with millions of ordinary Americans had been asleep at the wheel. I had no idea of the depth or breadth of the corruption which existed within the federal government, nor the incestuous relationship between the American Pillars of Academia, Big Business, Intelligence, Military, Media, and DC Bureaucrats. The election of President Trump brought major discord and dissonance to the prevailing corruption existing within the American institutions. As the American people began to ‘wake up’ from decades of political slumber and to look around at their country through fresh lenses of “Make America Great Again”, CTH provided the much needed analysis and metanarrative of what is happening to our great country, and what we, the American citizen, need to be praying for and doing to ensure the survival of this nation for our children and grandchildren.

Thank you Sundance and your team at CTH, for relentlessly pursuing the truth and for sheading the light of justice into the darkened crevasses of the American political machine. May God bless you, your family, and your team. And most importantly, may the Lord God Almighty bless this great country.

Soli Deo Gloria!

at this time there are nearly 1– replies, and I imagine my answers are echoed elsewhere.

But, if another post is helpful, here goes:

How did you find yourself here?
CTH and Sundance were cited in an article on American Thinker that I found helpful, in mid 2017, during the peak period of (untruthful) allegations against President Trump–and the Spygate/ Crossfire Hurricane, “dossier” “stories”.

What brought me and has kept me here:
A search for truth in an increasingly propagandized media environment. SD, as well as many posters here, are thoughtful, thorough and principled in dissecting the “stories” of the day to unearth the kernels of accurate information and understanding of the motives of many players in our business, political, media and political systems and institutions. Devotion to faith, courage and fidelity to the founding principles of our country are evidenced at CTH, and are values I hold dear.

Commander Sundance: Pardon my ignorance. My wife has severely chastised me for forgetting to answer your survey questions with my first comment.

Soldier/Cop/Grunt, Retired

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

My precious wife convinced me that I may find a place where the half of the American community that are not self-serving, witless, cowards hangs out. She was right (as usual)!

What was it that brought you here?…

See above.

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

It has provided relief beyond measure (so far) for my latent homicidal tendencies (developed after 26 years of military service and as many more as a civilian cop and security consultant dealing with American politicians, academicians, bureaucrats, and members of the media).

Again, thank you Sundance and your whole community of followers/commenters for keeping an old from becoming completely clinical and/or maybe saving the lives of a number of self-serving, witless, cowards.

Simple. Recommended by a friend. Followed Russia, Russia, Russia completely and believe in Admiral Mike Rogers and his heroism. He stood up in the beginning. Your web of players and continued commentary and analysis were amazing. Will we see any indictments in the next month? Love your memes for President Trump’s trusted men such as Lighthizer and Ross – America owes them a debt of gratitude. The USMCA is a real accomplishment and also holding China’s feet to the fire. Mainly, I guess, I’ve learned so much from you.

How did I find myself here?
What brought me here?
Why did I stick around?

I’m a truth and facts addict.

That answers it all. Need I say more? Being silly, below are my answers in more depth.

I found CTH so long ago I barely remember how I got here. Something I googled. In the comment section of a site someone posted a link to a few other sites. I checked them all out and only liked this one so I stayed. When Trump talked about running I found myself into politics and a news junkie like never before.

I caught CNN lying so much it disgusted me so I ventured online researching the facts myself. Reporters and journalists were no longer. It was all trash and insults like mean children bickering. Now MSM is nothing but a insult fest and laugh with much disrespect about our President. That isn’t news, it’s sewer sludge. I’ve been on many other sites but I end up dropping them. I only read a few sites. I stay in the shadows and don’t post much. Also, I’m old school and like that this site is easy to get around.

Well written stories and articles. Backed up with facts, videos, and more. The people here in the comment section also provide facts and links with intelligent opinions. Not childlike bickering and name calling like other sites I’ve left. I read mainly and don’t post much at all. I have given this link out to others who I think would appreciate what CTH gives.

Again truth and facts, tagged with intelligent people and educated articles.

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

Don’t rightly remember. I run across it looking for answers (truth) and was attracted by no nonsense factual analysis of the issue I was checking out. I liked what I saw, so I pilled up a chair in the corner and learned a great deal… CTH has become my home among like-minded people.

What was it that brought you here?…

Honest factual highly detailed factual analysis… read as ‘truth’

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

I rely on truth to form a reasoned viewpoint on the events we live with… and I got it here

If I recall correctly, a comment on a Breitbart article recommended the Conservative Tree house. It was during the primaries, or shortly afterwards, and I was so struck by how Sundance exposed the inner workings of the uniparty–it made so much sense as I saw the gopE cave on every important battle. They always SAID the right things every election season, yet the leftist agenda continued to advance. CTH has also opened my eyes to the goodness of the American people who strive to live their best lives, especially everyone here in the comment section.

I’m not sure how or when, but I’ve become a regular at least since 2019!

For some reason (did you every have similar banners?) I used to mix up CTH with DC DIRTY LAUNDRY. Now, that seems kind of weird!

In any case, so glad I got into a rhythm of visiting frequently–it’s such a rewarding (and often fruitful) experience.

Godspeed.

I found CTH by chance because of Alex Jones. I had been reading something, I don’t even remember what is was but, he mentioned Sundance and CTH so I did a search, found you and never left. This would have been late 2016, early 2017, I’m not suite sure. I had become so disillusioned with not being able to find any information that was meaningful or that wasn’t group think. I’ve been so thankful for the thoughtful, in-depth, intelligent analysis that Sundance has provided and all the comments by the Treepers, it has been invaluable to me. There isn’t any other site quite like CTH and no one has the insight and critical thought, links to videos (that other sites don’t seem to have access to), documentation and exceptional library that Sundance provides. I also so appreciate the love for God, family and country that is found here, it encourages me. Thank you Sundance, please always keep doing what you do, there are so many that depend upon your work and we can’t afford to lose your voice. God bless you and keep you.

Not sure how I found you.
I come back for the straightforward information and insight on and the simplification of many complex issues.
Keep up the good work and I’ll keep coming back; where ever you are.
Thanks!

I found CTH during the Trayvon Martin incident. Some things didn’t feel right and I made a Google search and found an article from Dedicated Dad (I believe) regarding Martin’s use of “Purple Drank”. I’ve been here ever since.

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

Hmm. I think it was through a Google search looking at information on Donald Trump in ’15.

What was it that brought you here?…

I like intelligent and truthful thinking. To the point, concise,

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

First of all, the writing technique is very good. The thinking is very honest.

Then, reading this site is sort of like jumping in a train of thought that has been going for many miles. And as a good read, a good thought, there is a well developed history of reasoning that reflects on past thinking, on past writing. The current reasoning is always based on a long train of consistent thought, a reflection of a well defined way of thinking and a coherent way of cogent, honest analysis. So, like a good book that drops you into a fully complete worldview, it takes some not insignificant perseverance to understand that worldview and then, once you achieve that gestalt, it all makes sense.

All good things are never easy. It takes some work. To understand the CTH is not easy at first, but like everything that is good, it is a worthwhile endeavor. I enjoy reading this site because it really works on defining new and existing stories and political threads in a truthful context. Assuming and respecting the reader to be intelligent, honest and capable.

And a partner in the trip to the truth.

With the main author, Sundance, sometimes taking active participation in the writing of history. Amazing.

A great site, Sundance. Thanks. I have sent its links to my friends.

How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?….
After reading my first CTH article, i immediately realized the repugnance I had for the MSM and the filth in DC. I think it followed a deployment to the Arabian peninsula immediately after the Benghazi Brief. After weeks of study and comparison to intel reports, i knew it was true. Now i know just how true that was and much more. And most of the stuff today is directly connected to that article.

What was it that brought you here?…
A friend shared with me a video where Bill whittle cited Sundance.

And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?
It’s real, sourced, truthful analyses… journalism(like the real kind), which is impossible to find now days.

I found CTH from the comment section of Breitbart and The Gateway Pundit. The comment section is always good for a laugh or a deeper perspective, there’s always a leak, a carrot or golden nugget.

I don’t know what it was that brought me here, but I can tell you why I stayed. Truth. The information on this site is honest and trustworthy. Sundance isn’t trying to sell me anything. In addition, the deep dive articles are refreshing vs the bs headline click-bait and advertorials with never ending adverporn pop-ups. And I stayed for Sundance. Great investigative journalist.

The chair is against the wall…

The CTH is the real Radio Free America!

I came here from a link by Clarise at AT. Like most of the comments here I stayed for the truth, and/or the pursuit there of. Maybe it was a quote from Vaclav Havel I read somewhere, he stated something to the effect that every conversation, opinion, and belief must start from a position of truth. “The truth”.
I found that Sundance does that as well as the insightful and civilized commenters. So I guess I have found my branch!

It was 2015 when I came upon this wonderful place. How? I do not recall. I know I was weary and tired of a headline and no substance from the various places I read before. I left them and never returned when I found CTH. I knew Donald J. Trump was on to something…..illegal invasion, the need for the wall, Trade, Main Street, Deep State Swamp. He is a warrior, our weapon.

The splitter strategy was a betrayal of massive proportions. I studied that from Sundance for months. Cold anger. I knew something was wrong, corrupt and phony. The insight was so helpful. It is exposed. With the help of “do not look away” Marionette strings” and much more.

I love the learning about Trade here. I’m still learning. Reading and rereading I do a lot. The work on the SSCI, Dirty DOJ and their lot. Keep pushing and exposing them. We are behind you and President Trump.

The comment section is fun and interesting, just like friends. Trolls and Eeyore’s are easy to spot now. I treasure Sundance and his hardworking efforts. Laying it out, putting out, with grief from others whom have either jealousy or don’t want their nakedness found out. Thank you for not being afraid of the them or care when they put you down. They know. We know also.

Menagerie, Adrem and Grandma Covfefe are treasures. I love the sharing of faith in Christ Jesus here and the prayers offered and prayed. I stay here because their is depth, research and a glorious bunch of misfit fighters and doers! I am a long time lurker. I pray all of you joy and to forge ahead with the best yet to come. President Trump is a fighter and he will win. We will win. We are winning.

1/x) why write congress/gov … (No one reads)

when you can comment on CTH ?

Answer)

No one reads the former, millions read the latter.

Eat ur heart out representatives

Even if they skip over my comment they see it more than would WASHINGTON.

Such a disgrace to the name

I arrived here I believe when the site (idk if it still exists) hotair went sideways and remembered someone saying the CTH was a great site. I believe this was in 2014? I have been on the pointy end of the spear for quite a while and as I read from other fellow Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) I felt there was a home here.

In areas of Military Intelligence, I knew I could participate in the conversation and just possibly contribute some knowledge and at the same time on other topics, I am lacking I have found the SME’s educating me.

The CTH is a robust and highly intelligent run site with incredible in-depth research. Sundance researches and runs down information as I do in the Navy, checking sources several times and discounting ideas that make no sense.

Above all, I can’t recall the first time he used the term “Cold Anger” it described exactly what I, and I’m sure thousands, felt about our government Uniparty. I come here daily because of that Cold Anger…thanks, Sundance (and Ad Rem, Menagerie, etc)!

I tend to operate with the belief that objectivity is the most effective tool in the pursuit of truth, and that common sense can be useful. I avoid inflamed and embellished stances, as satisfying as they may occasionally seem, in favor of constructive analysis of the context in which decisions are being made. After monitoring several social media sources for news, CTH became something of a touchstone from which I could interpret the chaotic goings-on according to other sources of information. CTH best represents the core of a movement to recover truth above distortion. That having been said, I support an impactful departure strategy- don’t go out with a whimper.

I began my “Red Pill adventure early in 2016. Having experienced that rude and yet awe-inspiring revelation that A) much of my “Foundational Knowledge” was, at best, unreliable and, at worst, a flat-out lie, I began this journey of discovery. One of my early eye-opening finds was the movie “Hating Breitbart”. At the time, the name Breitbart was merely a name one heard bandied about with mixed reviews and I had a vague recollection of him being tied to the Anthony Weiner expose’. As his true reputation was revealed, Andrew’s warrior spirit resonated within and, as a combat vet, I was won over by his ending declaration… “WAR!”, Back in those heady days of multitudinous conservative sites and voices, you could just bounce from site to site, almost all new to me, to see what head-exploding revelation the next one would contain. Somewhere along that peregrination, I stumbled onto CTH. The banner at the top declared “I want YOU to be Andrew Breitbart!” and I instantly suspected I had found a new home. I will confess to a little skepticism as to whether ANY site could live up to Andrew’s demand for unrelenting honesty but I soon discovered that his invective was indeed alive and well in the Treehouse and I have been a regular ever since. Just to give you a small insight into the regard in which I hold this site, I visit probably 15 – 20 “Conservative” news sites every day to stay apprised of current news and opinions but CTH is my first go-to every morning. A strong cup of coffee and Sundance’s take on the world, shape my every day. As you begin this exciting new adventure, be confident that thousands of us will “Follow you anywhere sir”. Lead on!

I’ve only discovered your website recently, when looking for accurate reporting of the US presidential election.
