We have a rather unique situation here… The digital U-Haul is loaded after our eviction from WordPress/Automattic for violations of community ‘wrong think’ and questioning narratives against the interests of Big Tech. After a decade on the platform we are sweeping up the porch and saying farewell to the WordPress community.
The CTH family is disappointed at the business position of Automattic, but we are also excited about the new home we have created. CTH 2.0 is going to be awesome, liberating and even better. We are so blessed and fortunate beyond my wildest imaginings.
Right now we are patching the holes in the walls and running the vacuum while our long-time friends stop by to express their anger about our eviction. Simultaneously, those who moved away to the big city are coming back to visit and express their support.
I cannot go into details, mostly because I haven’t yet decided whether to accept a proposal for a grand exit – or stick to our customary & understated simple wave farewell, but the big city folks want to use this eviction as a warning of sorts.
Apparently, the youthful rebellious spirit within those who sold-out to mega-media conglomerates and bright lights has been triggered. A spirit we at CTH retain.
Out there in the land of the MSM right now there is a group of ‘journalists’ ideologically reminiscing for a time when the counter-culture was fighting for the truth; damn the consequences and without care for wounded feelings, delicate sensibilities or financial livelihoods. They reflect on a spirit we have retained and protected within our CTH community. A spirit we will never stop safe-guarding from enticement and compromise.
We are rag-tag misfits, we are proud of it, and -if needed- we clean up well.
We are a crew more comfy eating pizza from box on a tailgate than trying to fit in with a new media outlook of highfalutin’ big technocrats. We are, quite simply, the rebel alliance.
All of that said, a question for each of you would be:
How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?….
What was it that brought you here?…
And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?
A notable disclaimer. Your answer(s) may end up in a very large spotlight; so think about whether you are comfy with that before you share anything. Your comment responses are always private, but also likely to be read by some very influential big city types.
An update on CTH 2.0 will soon follow. But for now, as we sit on the porch and reminisce about a decade of discussion on this platform, there are a bunch of folks who want to know why CTH matters to you.
If you feel like sharing your answer, write it in the comments.
Every response is entirely OK.
I have never known a better group of cyber-friends than this community. I have never known a larger and deeper group of experience than exists right here. I have never known a better team at assembling details, granular and specific details that outline the truth, than this crew. For that, I am blessed and incredibly thankful… Especially today.
So if you’re comfy, what brought you here?
Love to all,
Sundance
being a WUWT (https://wattsupwiththat.com/) long-timer and a contrarian around “group think” I recall it was a link dropped by one of the many other WUWTers here at the Treehouse who shared a link to the misfits.
A libertarian conservative with a small c Brit, I am also proud to be tagged an honourary Texan by a very close Houstonian friend of over 30 years who also taught me to handle and shoot handguns.
I’ve never looked back.
And from my tag you might deduce I’m an Asterix fan. He’s probably a misfit too.

I FOUND you around 2016 I think. It was ever more difficult to get clear unbiased analysis of any situations. I hate to say I cannot remember the first person I followed, (he died) you may be able to enlighten me. The Tree House is awesome. I do love you all. I will be following you to our new home. Peter Happy Thanksgiving from UK
That person you followed may have been @patrickhenrycensored. I came on too late in the game to know him very well, but his last comments here were very moving and poignant. He was obviously a well-known, beloved poster.
A friend would occasionally send me one of your articles that I found to be always very informative and substantiated. After a year of this I decided to visit the Conservative Treehouse directly. At last a site where there was meat to the bone : the dots were connected with documented information dating back ions and to the present, constitutional questions were of great import, faith was included in the faithfulness to country and community. I’ve enjoyed the direct links to live events, the rebel spirit and simple courageous honesty. The first site I visit in the morning and the last in the evening (almost). Why ? For the hunger of Truth. It’s a rare gem in a world of deceit. «Well done, good and faithful servant…»
As best I recall, I stumbled across CTH via a like from a story while doing research. Needless to say I have stayed, not looked back and will be around for quite a while.
I have been on the Treehouse for six years. Any aspiring competitor reading through these comments would have to emulate the deep insight of SUNDANCE, and then match his writing skills to attract an audience that matches the level of commenters who are an integral part of the site’s attraction. The Last Refuge is peerless in this respect when compared with the widespread idiocy on show at disparate sites such as Politico and Breitbart.
In general American journalism is extremely poor. That’s simply not the case with SUNDANCE.
I’ve left a comment on how I got here, and how much I love this site – far and away my favorite site on the situation in the US. Something else. I have no idea how many people I’ve sent to this site. I would say dozens. I’m sure there are many other people like me – who love sharing theconservativetreehouse with other people. The last person: yesterday! You are amazing. You do so much of the heavy lifting for me. I don’t need to educate people on this or that – I send them to a post on this site, and encourage them to subscribe.
My sister led me here. She worked as a volunteer for President Trump’s campaign back in 2015. I lurked for awhile before signing up and supporting CTH. Sundance provides the best honest research and analysis of any journalist out there.
Drive on, Sundance.
I remember when Jeb bush said he could win the nomination without the base. At the time I did not understand how that could happen. Then I read your analysis of how he was going to win without the base. After he lost the nomination you did a review of your analysis for accuracy. You were spot on! I have followed you ever since. The CTH is the most honest, accurate and truthful source for news that I know of.
Comey’s disastrous news conf. on July 5, 2016 was the last straw for me. I knew for sure then that there was a group of people that I had tried to give credence to who were lying to me, the FBI and the media. So I went searching for other sources of information, both political sides and also some european since I read german. Some pointed to CTH and I added it to my personal aggregator. So now I have my bunch of sites that I check every morning to get a reasonable understanding of what is really happening. I have very much enjoyed CTH and hope I will be able to find it’s new home. This purging by wordpress, twitter, google and facebook of diverse voices will be a turning point for our country and I hope to see all of SD’s efforts to enlighten us will start to pay off soon. Most importantly, I appreciated his reliance on the Lord’s Prayer because it is by staying in the search for God’s will that we will keep our sanity and hopefully families together.
I came here almost 10 years ago, at a time I was subscribing to everything alternative. Over the years I’ve dropped a lot of other sites, but CTH has endured. This is due to the great research the Sundance team has done, that no other site does. By word of mouth I have brought others to this site as well, all of who have also become loyal followers. Where you go, we shall follow. Thank you for your tireless work.
I’ve read this blog for many years and posted links to it numerous times.I find the information factual, well written, and always worth passing along, and so I have. I still have one of the old rss feeds and you are on my list, I always want to know what is said here.
Greetings Sundance and fellow Patriots! I have been lurking here for many years, but have never previously posted.
I don’t remember exactly how I first found the CTH, but I somehow stumbled upon this wonderful Treehouse researching either the Trevon Martin case or the Michael Brown incident. I was immediately drawn to Sundance’s wonderful in depth analysis of such important and divisive complex political or social issues. I have never left and visit here on a daily basis.
I return here daily to get in what I feel has been without question the most insightful, uplifting, thoughtful, thought provoking and ultimately the most accurate analysis of current events. I have always appreciated the substance of the comments posted here. The level of class and respect shown here by those who post is not present in any other sites I have ever personally visited. I often learn much from reading the comments here. Sometimes it is the shared experiences or perspectives of others I value. Other times it is the helpful link to another article or website someone has posted I appreciate. Thanks to those who maintain and moderate the comments section to keep it a meaningful place to spend time.
Over the years, I believe that I have shared more articles from The Conservative Tree House with family or friends than from any other single site. The feedback I receive from family and friends is always positive.
During this time of Thanksgiving, I have so so much to be “Thankful For”. I want to specifically say that I am grateful to Sundance and all those that make this site possible.
God Bless you Sundance, God Bless the fellow patriots who come here, God Bless our wonderful President and God Bless America!!!
How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?….
Around the 4th of July ’16 my family and I (frequent visitors to the US) were on holiday in Florida.
BB, Drudge, CTH and one or two other sites made the US Pres race more enlightening than the usual crud served up by regular news warehouses. I read avidly, watched US news and recognised the outsider.
I loved his “kick the door in” style and found it hilarious that he wasn’t afraid to say the things I was thinking, but did not hold back to freely speak it publicly. Backed in the UK to win at 20:1!
In the UK, politicians promised and reneged, promised and reneged, time and time and again. Like many, I was driven to gather facts that made sense of that dynamic. As Drudge contradicted what it stood for and BB couldn’t make up its mind about DJT, I found links to the CTH and popped over from time to time.
What brought you here?…
Inauthentic news outlets that struggled to live up to their own hype.
Why did stick around?
Authentic, objective, insightful and detailed analysis of current and past events from the author. A comments board that valued, “first seek to understand, before seeking to be understood”.
This sites desire to find the truth, however unpalatable. A place where faith is valued but not a pre-requisite to joining the congregation.
Thank you one and all
With sincere appreciation.
Johnny B
Sundance,
I am grateful for the Treehouse because it has been a refuge of intelligent conversation. I look forward to visiting every day knowing I am part of an honored group of conservative patriots.
I don’t recall how I found CTH but it was sometime in the summer of 2016. I think the thing that has kept me coming back is the unflinching and continuous exposure of the Uniparty mentality. Most of the Republicans in DC are not our friends and share many of the goals of their supposed opponents.
How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community? In 2015 as the election primaries were heating up, I was searching for information that my soul could settle for as unbiased. This was because all that came from the MSM sounded cooked and not real hence I went on a search and stumbled upon CTH
What was it that brought you here? The search for the Truth with regard to the US Presidential Election in 2015
And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value? Having experienced the integrity of Sundance, I stayed.
Truth (God)
Justice (YOU exposing the criminals)
The American Way (5-4 Religious freedom Vote)
Leftist SCUM Get used to that number sequence…
What was it that brought you here?
I saw The Conservative Treehouse mentioned and linked more than once in the comment sections of other news and opinion websites widely considered to be on the right. After seeing the same site mentioned repeatedly, curiosity drove me to seek it out and I discovered this remarkable place. I can’t quite remember if it was before Donald Trump announced his 2016 run or after, but not many months away from that date, plus or minus.
CTH was different, in the focus and intensity of Sundance’s posts, his rapport with the site’s commenting community, and the depth and quality of that community and their posts.
How did you find yourself a member of the CTH community?
It took a while to become comfortable with this site. Clearly, there was a great deal of interesting information and analysis being put forth, but I found some of it jarring and hard to accept because it clashed with my preexisting perceptions and opinions, many of which had been shaped by the significant quantity of establishment republican propaganda I’d swallowed. Still, the quality and insight of the rest of the content was such that I kept returning until the events of the late 2016 campaign and early months of the Trump presidency proved to me that it was I who had misperceived the political realities around me and that Sundance had been vastly more accurate in his understanding. Painful to admit, but liberating once done. I now pass everything incoming through a firewall of skepticism and challenge even my own opinions.
I lurked for a long time before venturing to make my first post. In part, because my comfortable opinions and world view had been shaken from their foundations (a process which continues, albeit more slowly these days), in part, because of my deepening respect for the community and a desire not to diminish it with subpar posting. Perhaps I should have stuck with that strategy, but I’d like to think I’ve at least contributed some smiles and laughs, and to the sense of camaraderie here.
And why did you stick around with this group through whatever endeavors you found of value?
We are in the midst of historic times. These years will be ones for the history books, if there are to be any books. The social, political, and economic structures of America are in flux and about to change significantly, for better or worse. I believe the change is likely to be on the scale of major wars (Revolutionary, Civil, WW I, WW II) or the Great Depression. There’s no place I’d rather be than here at the Treehouse to try to understand and process current events as they unfold in the future, just as I’ve done for the last several years.
To borrow a notion from the film They Live, I can SEE. I learned how to do that here at CTH, and I’ll be forever grateful.
I’ll liken it to a neighborhood bar, or popular small town restaurant. You like what they serve, you’re familiar with the staff, and you know a lot of the regulars. You’re comfortable there, you fit. When you find your right place, you just know it.
I’ve found mine.
TRUTH! A quest for truth led me to migrate here from Lucianne.
Love love love the Treehouse theme! It combines a sense of adventure with the safety of a refuge.
Appreciate the melding of a Biblical World View with a patriotic political perspective.
Classic conflict with good versus evil. Here in the Treehouse the Light shines brightly.
Insight, knowledge, respect, fellowship, inspiration, and encouragement of most Treepers here has me browsing through the comments multiple times a day (or night.)
A reverent regard for Scripture is welcomed not rejected here.
Isaiah 61:3 “…and they will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord’s for the display of his splendor.” Oak trees make beautiful home bases for tree houses!
Around 2015 I was supporting Rand Paul and could tell he wasn’t going to make it as a candidate. He was just blowing it and I started researching the other candidates. Hubby was telling me how things worked (he is a PoliSci graduate and Military officer) I wanted to know more. Hubby also said “Look at Trump” He knows I do my own research.
In my research I ended up on Treehouse discovered the breakdown of how OUR side (the establishment) chooses our candidate and was shocked. I read Treehouse for about 6 weeks straight morning noon and night. I was sickened by what I read and vowed to get involved to help Trump.
I was Trump campaign chair and battled for him knowing from my research it would be crazy trying to beat OUR side much less the Left.
At first I waited to see if CTH was right and it was always right. I have yet to see CHT be wrong. The media is ALWAYS wrong. So I sit on my branch of the treehouse for all things political and this is my goto place for in depth knowledge. It hasn’t failed me to date and I appreciate this site soooooo much! Thank you Sundance!!!!
Andrew Brietbart had recently passed away. In Spring 2012 Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman was just entering media coverage. Andrew Breitbart had captured my attention as a native S.Cal gal in his willingness fight back against the GOP’s continued use of gentlemanly protocols with the street thug tactics of Dem’s I think it was my review of Brietbart news in those days a commentator mentioned CTH.(gee, Breitbart has morphed since then!)
I was already shocked when Obama administration ignored 70 yrs of bankruptcy law in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. I expected the law would supercede in the government’s awarding GM to the unions. And no one fought back. Tea Party in Washington D.C. dismissed and undermined by GOP and actually targeted by IRS and DOJ.
I began reading Sundance’s site for information. I have learned so much here from his postings and just as much from members of the Treehouse. I read his reviews of the 2015-2016 elections. I found his tripwires interesting. His research and conclusions generally end up correct. I really did not have much awareness of DJT at the time other than background awareness he was wealthy and traded in wives. I did not vote for DJT in 2016 nor for Ms. Clinton.
I don’t hide my un PC views for an educated, disabled, daughter of an immigrant, suburban woman and state employee. It is assumed I am instep w the leftist narrative. My focus has been to follow 1Corinthians 2:2 when the door in conversations opens.
Being here for 8 yrs has truly provided me with a refuge and a place of growth.
I was interested in the George Zimmerman trial and I was following what was available on Legal Insurrection. Through a comment there I came over to the Treehouse and it was like I wandered into a secret research laboratory with scientists scurrying around digging up facts and pasting them onto a virtual chalkboard.
Truths were discovered, lies were uncovered, and all of the outside noise was explained to expose how dirty lawyers and crooked media operate an evil cabal. I also learned a bit about disaster preparation. I was hooked and I never left. This Treehouse could replace a college education.
I found you from some link that I like so I just opened it and loved what I seen.I keep coming back because I believe you have a great talent for explaining situations explaining the news and what’s really going on.you have a you have a perspective on the news that most other sites don’t
A friend recommended CTH to me just as President Trump decided to run. I knew who he was but was not sure about him. My grandsons were shocked that I wasn’t all in since I’m the political nut of the family. What an education I have received here. Sundance has created pure gold. I’m old now and not computer wise so I don’t post much but stop I multiple times a day. This is my morning newspaper now. So many wonderful and intelligent people who love this country gather here and it’s very homey. Will be an honor to follow to our new location. My fervent wish is that President Trump prevails and that every person who hates this country just leaves. God bless Sundance and his team.
At the recommendation of my husband, I searched out The Last Refuge, about six years ago, and haven’t missed a day since. I loved the idea of perching on a branch with fellow treepers, learning about what is truly going on in the world. There is something about knowing the truth when you hear it. The wisdom of Sundance and the articles that are written and the links to “go deep” and the comments that follow bring a full learning and understanding of a particular topic. I am an artist and art teacher in the public school system of whom are mostly liberal minded, so I pretty much stay quiet around politics but most people can tell I am conservative, just by the nature of my being. Coming to the treehouse is truly my refuge because we are like minded in almost all things. It keeps me grounded in an upside down world. My husband and I have a deeper understanding of each other through our conversations that stem from reading TCT. We love Menagerie too, and the humor, the recipes, the honesty, the respectful nature of all who branch here. God blessed us when we found you, and we will continue to be part of the rag tag misfits as long as you stay true. God bless you, and our country! Thank you for all that you are doing to keep us together! You and the treepers are our extended family.
Jan 2020 I grew tired of the MSM and even found Fox a little slow to report reality. I subscribed to WSJ as at least more fair and balanced at least thru the election (boy was I wrong there). I found CTH earlier in the year searching for missing info that Fox was slow walking. I found it in extreme abundance at CTH – Thank you for that Sundance. I lurked for months and finally signed up for access to wolverines. I spend hours after the wife goes to bed keeping up with the latest posts please keep it up. I will follow as soon as you settle in the new digs. Please keep us updated. I have been a bit intimidated by the much better writing of the massive number of comments from your followers which are as enlightening as Sundance’s daily comments. I am even more disappointed in Fox, Google(for many years), Facebook, Twitter for their censorship. I guess we were warned by Breitbart and in American Thinker October 10, 2018 “Stunning 85-page Google memo ‘The Good Censor’ leaked to Breitbart” By Thomas Lifson that I discovered in the last few weeks. Check it out.
The Wall Street Journal met its demise when the many inheritors of the founding family sold it to Rupert Murdoch. Before that it was an amazing paper. Great tragedy. I still mourn the original version and I unsubscribed when my family got sick of hearing me grumpy every morning when I read it after the ownership shift. I get my financial news through blogs and paid subscriptions now.
I’m a 2020 newb and found CTH oasis as part of a search for truth. This community and the way it has been managed is materially responsible for my ongoing hope and ability to maintain sanity of late. I think that the exit strategy needs to be as high vis as possible / reasonable in the light of the other big tech censorship moves of late. Half-serious, half-jokingly, perhaps include some misspellings or have an intentional initial misfire (very brief) in the xfer to get some helpful word-spreading PR (there is no bad PR in today’s reality) from the dark side in the process? Looking forward to the new digs and thank you for all that you continue to do!!
Why CTH?
1. Christian optimism. It’s easy to be demoralized, feeling alone. You are the burst of sunshine daily.
2. Knowledge, not information. Sadly, at a time where there is more access to knowledge than at any other time in history, people fixate on mere information. I love the actual knowledge with links to the real legal documents, etc.
3. A true antidote to “Rush Limbaugh Syndrome”. People are so inundated with talking heads bringing up problems. We all know that there are lots of problems. We need a debate on solutions. As I learned in crisis management many times over the years, you can’t fix a problem until you figure out what the problem is. Choose wrongly and you delay the fix.
4. The site exudes Americanism. The rest of the CTH community reminds us that we aren’t alone.
I came to the Treehouse in late 2015, I think. It was when the republicans were declaring their candidacy for President…including Donald Trump. I stumbled upon a link from another conservative blog, which led me to the Treehouse. I don’t remember which blog linked to the CTH…that was over 5 years ago and my memory isn’t great.
I stayed with CTH because y’all do a DEEP DIVE into the TRUTH. You uncover facts, documentation, etc that I can’t find in other blogs. No matter how scary or unfortunate, no matter how shocking or detailed, y’all fearlessly present the TRUTH, here. Also, the many members here are very well informed. I can’t tell you how much I have learned from the CTH. And the level of integrity, here, is incomparable.
Truth. That’s why I’ve come to this site almost daily for going on 5 year
s. No better site for truth than CTH.
I first stumbled across the Treehouse during the early days of the Trayvon Martin shooting and media persecution of George Zimmerman. I realized, immediately that my interpretation and thoughts on what happened versus what the media were reporting were being validated by the articles on comments here at the Treehouse. I have been a “Treeper” ever since.
From the first article I read I created my Word Press account and began engaging in “the conversation” traversing many topics and events over the years. I had found “my people”. As time went on and life events began eroding my time and energy, I still started each day at the Treehouse but rarely had the time to visit throughout the day and comment as regularly as I once had. I saw the community grow from a point where I recognized almost all of the Treepers to a point that there were so many of us I hardly encountered the original regulars. Now there are 10s of 1000s of us – a fantastic community of truly enlightened friends and companions.
This place has been my refuge and my safe port. It has been the source of my support and sanity in a crazy an increasingly insane world. When you witness predictions made, based on sound research and TRUTHFUL ANALYSIS, come to fruition over and over and over you just know you’ve found your “home”. That’s what the Treehouse has been for me.
I can be completely twisted up inside after a day of constant onslaught of media gaslighting and liberal commentary from my dyed in the wool liberal boss and log on to the Treehouse, read a couple of articles and comments and my ship is righted once again.
I cannot image going through the coming days, weeks and months without our little community. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us. I find that when world and national events occur that seem catastrophic or life-altering or simply very upsetting, I quickly find an article here that puts it all in perspective and either confirms my fears or calms them. I will be here, God willing, for many years to come.
Treeper since 2012.
I knew in my gut that the news reports about Philando Castile were wrong. That gut feeling led me on a search for the truth and I found it here. That next Sunday our preacher started with a white guilt sermon in a church of 98 percent good white people. During the sermon I texted him your article and after church I was berated by the same preacher about me being a Fox News watcher. That was the last time I ever spoke to him.
6 years ago Mama Grizzly Sarah said that Trump is not a crazy clown as he is described by Lamestream and made a quote from CTH. CTH is my window to real USA, because here in Europe + Czech(oslovakia) are every informations one big antiamerican and antitrump MSM propaganda. CTH is almost my everyday “home page”. So… God bless America and CTH 🙂
During the 2016 election primary, another conservative site on the web mentioned the work of a writer called Sundance at the Conservative Tree House.
I’ve enjoyed his articles on political topics. I never thought much about political polling until Sundance wrote about that topic and its use as a motivational suppressor of votes.
2020 polling was particularly laughable. But, considering the cheating, the hype for Biden made a lot of sense.
Right after the 2016 election, I noticed the news making a huge deal out of everything Trump did, even if other Presidents before had done the same thing. I was looking for something to read that wasn’t “click bait” and had links to back up their analysis. I started with talk radio for info and that lead me here. So happy I found it, greatest online community ever ?
Sundance,
I found the Treehouse early in the Michael Brown case, August 2014. I grew up in St. Louis City. The MSM reporting was off. I used google and found you buried, pages deep in my search for truth. Your accounting and the Treehouse community sounded the most possible. Then, I waited for what you revealed. You were on target and all MSM were inflating racial discord.
In 2015, I wanted to find a Presidential candidate. I watched the MSM Sunday morning talk shows to find them repeating all questions uniformly. After 3 weeks of what looked like compromised reporting, I searched for the Treehouse again and found quality discussion around politics. I have been here ever since.
I read your truth daily. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
Sincerely,
I am not an American but I love the place. I have driven slowly coast to coast and holidayed in Florida for twice a year for 15 years. I watched the 2016 election in Florida and in real time and saw the shock of the MSM commentators as they witnessed the unthinkable unfolding.
We in the UK were going through a process of trying to leave the European Union and again, I witnessed the same MSM shock. The propaganda to drive a Remain vote was huge, that it failed was inexplicable to the self same people you are up against.
What brought me here? – a link in a comment section on Breitbart – I knew from the morning of 4 November 2020 what had taken place and it took no more than an hour or so of careful reading to see how it was done. I suspected that a repeat of 2016 could never be be allowed and there were plenty of clues in the run up to 2020. Mass rallies vs dead silence? Oh yes ..’Things that make you go mmm…’
A member of this community? I no longer read or watch any MSM as it is apparent that the message is coordinated and nothing more than blatant propaganda. The object is to convince me that I have absolutely no common sense. In my local community there is no-one I know who has any clue of what DT achieved. They only know what has been repeatedly said on TV. So they hate him.
Sticking around – yes please. All good fortune to you (and all patriots in the USA).
I grew up a child of the 60’s and 70’s, never very political minded, sort of a “they are all crooked ” attitude ( which in hindsight was pretty smart!) but after that nobody from Chicago won in 2008 I realized there was more going on but could not figure it out. In 2012 I was stunned when he won again, even as bad as Romney’s campaign was, I thought no way this country wants more of this guy but there was still a lot that didn’t make sense.
In July, 2015. I followed a link found in the comments of a Breitbart article and found this article by Sundance. “Why I support Donald Trump’s campaign and its probably not what you think”
My red pill moment for sure! Everything fell into place! Thank you Sundance!! Been here ever since.
Here is the article if anyone wants to see it. Enjoy!
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/07/13/why-i-support-donald-trumps-campaign-and-its-probably-not-what-you-think/
I was in a breakfast establishment in the late summer of 2015. Waiting for a table, I saw a man with a red MAGA hat on. I commented that I liked his hat and he thanked me and said, you need to check out The Conservative Treehouse. I learned about Sundance the old fashioned way…word of mouth. I was engaged, reading about the splitter strategy and the trillions of dollars at stake. I learned almost as much from the community of treepers who commented on each post. That’s why I still read the site several times a day.
We will all stay and figure out how to navigate the new platform. It’s a lot of work to move, especially when you get evicted but there will be freedom peace and prosperity of the other side. This is a monumental blessing not a curse. All the best Sundance and crew on the new platform. I’m sure it will be awesome.
I found this spot on another site through a commentator, Narciso. A great commentator. Cant remember when I showed up, and I aint leaving. Plenty of so called conservative sites have turned into never-trump wonderland. Have taken them off my list of go to reads. Love being a rag tag conservative misfit. Mahalo, Sundance.
I was being peed on and was told by the msn it was only rain. I came to here for an umbrella.
I arrived via the America Thinker during the Travon Martin case. I read the words Truth has No Agenda and have returned everyday since. There simply isn’t a more informative site on the internet and quite frankly, there is no better group of people to share such information with.
Tip of my hat to JoeDan Gorman of Intellectual Froglegs for leading me here 4 or 5 years ago. An analysis article you did on the food/farming scam of international proportions during the trade negotiations with China made you a daily read from then on. You are the most analytical mind that cuts through the crap and connects the dots….many more years of success ahead for you and your team I’m positive of!
I have been following independent online news for about 10 years now here in England.
It started off with my interest in natural health care to replace toxic big pharma drugs.
One of the first investigative blogs I signed up to was Jon Rappoport who is a great analyst and booker prize winning writer.
At the time of Trump announcing his candidacy I started to look wider afield for genuine news and comment concerning the upcoming 2016 election which was of great concern to me as I did not want the uber psycho Killary Clinton anywhere near the oval office..
I came across the Treehouse and the Gateway Pundit at about the same time and have found them both a great source of news and comment.
I don’t think I found the Treehouse for myself through online searching, it was probably recommended by a commentator on another site and I have been here ever since.
So glad to be here with sane people and the intelligent, detailed breakdown of what is happening in the world by Sundance and the team and the intelligent comments from Treepers.
Actually I am glad that TCT is migrating to a new host as I never really got on with wordpress, it seems a very awkward site and there are constant issues with replying and liking others comments.
Will be glad to see the back of it.
Good luck in your new home Sundance and looking forward to watching Donald J Trump sworn in on January 20 2021.
This is where I land on the web every day since 2015 . Appreciate the straight, unhyped analysis of issues and sharp commentary from SD and all of the treepers. There is a lot that other sites could earn from the CTH community from the quality of the writing and editing to the genuine responses from the members that goes beyond the typical headlines and shallow click bait the seems to predominate the internet news world. Looking forward to 2.0 and many more years of the Treehouse.
It’s been so long, I hardly remember how I stumbled into the Treehouse. I think I may have been searching for “conservative websites” and trying to find any that didn’t jack my blood pressure up 50-points. I do know that once I came, I stayed, because because the Treehouse spoke sense to what I was seeing happen out here.
I found myself saying “exactly” as I read many articles and “that explains it” as I read some ohers. The comments were often as insightful as the body, and almost never sophomoric. I can’t even tell you how much I appreciated that. Moreover, the analysis at CTH is some that should be shared much more broadly, as I often did, – unashamedly.
I climbed the tree a long time ago and at one point had to change my username after mistakenly letting WordPress get a hold of it. Dumping that content mis-management system is probably the only improvement I could have offered to Sundance and the team, so … glad to see it.
Good luck building your home in a new tree. I’ll be happily sitting on one of its branches.
Agree with you re wordpress…..glad it will be no more and Sundance is moving to a new site.
I don’t recall what brought me to Tree House or how I found myself sympathetic to the CTH community but I am clear why I come back every day. The information and the analysis is original, insightful, intellectually honest and there is a passion or energy that pulses from the words. I am looking forward to new platform and new adventure. All the best to CTH and the CTH community.
The Conservative Tree House is a community with whom I feel comfortable. There are disagreements and perhaps even quarrels but there is also a lot of support among the treepers. I stumbled upon this site while searching for information during the early days of the Covid-19 lock down. The issues of the day are examined from many diverse perspectives, the mass of treepers able to scan more sites and contribute more expertise than I could ever find and digest on my own. This site is my standard go-to site.
I stumbled upon this site about 5 years ago completely by accident and was immediately hooked. The depth of information was (and is) astounding. The people commenting were different than almost any other site I had been reading. They were informed and polite, not argumentative and petty. All that coupled with the fact that everything you wrote about seemed to play out as you thought it would mad this my go to site. I felt like I was “in the know”. Over the years I shared your site with family and a few like minded friends who also enjoy it.
Thank you for all your work. I will continue the journey with all of you wherever we end up.
I also found the site by accident. I enjoy the fact-based/conservative perspective of the site and I appreciate the intelligence of The Treehouse commenting “community”.
Why TCTH:
I like to read tomorrow’s news today.
I like to be treated like an adult.
I like to formulate my own opinions based on factual information not given one based on hyperbole that doesn’t conform to the facts.
I loathe propaganda and all who participate in its dissemination.
I’ve been here since the beginning. I’ve turned hundreds of people to this website because of the honesty and integrity in the information they’ve reported. I cannot recall a single incident of the factual analysis presented by TCTH to be wrong or proven wrong by another media representative. This site has been my armor to the lies and the propaganda that is spread by news organizations. When I discuss or debate with others I can always depend on the information gathered here to cement my opinions and prove my points. It’s just that simple!
CTH and Sundance’s careful analysis has been a mainstay since 2014 . A relative sent me an article from CTH and I have been here since. I have been concerned and worried about a global Communist cabal take over of our great country since Obama took office. I would talk about this with family, friends and colleagues but was alone , no one could see it or so it seemed until I found the analysis and contributions this wonderful Treehouse had to offer.
A Hilary Clinton Presidency would have been our last if Donald Trump didn’t win. CTH provided the important coverage of the Trump 2016 campaign and that helped me to stay calm with the clear instinct that the American people were going to vote for the People’s Presdident. Yet here we are again fighting a globalist takeover and again we are being informed by the truth provided by Sundance and the CTH contributions. May God bless us all. At this point I listen to and pay attention to our President He has no intention of letting us down. We will win this battle.
