Sometimes when you find yourself in a disconcerting and unfamiliar place, it can be beneficial to stop, look back and understand just how we ended up in this terrain.  The professional DC consultant class are benefiting from the current climate of chaos, and they certainly don’t want anyone to review the consequential and intentional steps it took to get here.
When the Tea Party rose up in opposition to President Obama’s indulgent spending programs in 2009 many were under the mistaken assumption the opposing party, the republicans, were against the progressive agenda based on principle.

However, there were a few voices on our side saying be wary of the UniParty nature of DC, the republican party is not our friend.  Money always fuels their motives; so long as there are millions available to the ‘loyal opposition’, the republican political intentions should not be regarded as altruistic.
At the time those concerns were dispatched by a louder voices demanding strategic unity and instructions to work within the DC-based GOPe system.  However, ultimately what benefit lies within unity if the end result is just a destructive?   The awakened electorate was just as much a risk to the republican side of the UniParty as it was the Democrat side.
It was from this basic framework of acceptance the Conservative Tree House was born. A “last refuge” where common sense approaches still mattered.

A few days ago someone posted a link to an official campaign event being held by Senator Ted Cruz.  The link was in relationship to the Super-PAC “Keep the Promise” setting up the entire event, promoting the event, paying for the event, and coordinating the campaign activity culminating in Ted Cruz giving a speech at the event.
Unfortunately, given the thousands of comments daily we can’t find the link.

Despite rather outdated FEC rules -which are supposed to block such coordination- Carly Fiorina ran her entire campaign almost exclusively through Super-PAC financing.   We noted a few weeks ago that Senator Ted Cruz had shifted to a similar financial model as Fiorina.
Essentially both Fiorina, now Cruz, are pushing the boundaries on what is allowable in a post Citizens United campaign operation.   While it is against federal campaign laws for Super-PACS to fund or coordinate with candidates’ campaigns, the rules are very ambiguous as to what constitutes “coordination“.  (more…)

Benghazi Brief Followers:  Something is going on.  Something odd, something structurally not accidental….  My spidey hunch is the Trey Gowdy Benghazi Committee is in the making a final report phase.
Why?  Because there’s a rather weird story from NBC which just hit the media bloodstream about a former CIA operative who wrote a book and includes details of  a plan to overthrow Syria’s Assad (in 2012 according to the NBC report therein), that President Obama failed to act upon.

99% of the media consuming pubic will view this NBC story a particular way because it is being pushed a particular way.  That is to say this framework presents POTUS as not authorizing the CIA to initiate the plan as it is described.  – SEE HERE –
However, WE KNOW, from our own exhaustive research into this timeline (literally day-by-day x 40 people tracked) that President Obama DID AUTHORIZE, via a Presidential Finding Memo, a joint covert operation with the State Dept. and CIA in Syria, in 2012.
Unfortunately, unlike the 2011 finding memo in Libya, we do not know the operational name of this 2012 Syrian endeavor.  A rather overlooked MSM article (admitting the finding memo authorization) around the timeframe is HERE.
So why push a narrative now about POTUS refusing to authorize a finding memo for CIA in Syria when we know he factually DID sign a finding memo for CIA operations in Syria ?
Here’s todays story: (more…)

Speaking on behalf of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin gave a speech last night to a Wisconsin Republican audience.   Standing firmly on a platform of truth, Palin warned the mostly party (establishment) audience their decision to stand with deception in order to win an election also means placing themselves in a very precarious position.
The response from the audience to Sarah’s brutal honesty was what’s customarily known as “the collective nervousness of deceivers“.

Whenever anyone dares to tell the collective: ‘the emperor stands naked’; there’s a particular kind of autonomic group nervousness immediately evident.  A group discomfort.
Such was the discomfort when Sarah Palin mentioned Senator Ted Cruz’s weak and opportunistic immigration position, and then contrast a real-life example of Cruz going to McAllen Texas (Saturday, July 19th 2014) to hand out “gift baskets” and welcome illegal alien families.
You could hear a pin-drop as an entire audience sat jaw-agape in disbelief.
When a fearless truth-teller stares down a room – the collective immediately need each other to retain their guise.  Here’s an example of their initial response: (more…)

Fox Business News has just released a new poll (full pdf below) with stunning results.

Incredibly, despite the full support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker; and despite the support of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan; and despite the non-stop campaigning of 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney; and despite the support of the largest Wisconsin radio talk show voice, Charlie Sykes; and despite the endorsement of Governor Jeb Bush; and despite over $100 million Wall Street dollars being spent in negative attack ads against his opponent…

…. A full 58% of Wisconsin Voters still refuse to support Senator Ted Cruz:

These results are jaw-dropping for Ted Cruz when you consider:

• Every single media outlet in the nation has been in a full throated tear down against his opponent 24/7 for weeks.
• The entire professional political apparatus within Washington DC is now directly supporting candidate Cruz.  Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Orin Hatch, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Carly Fiorina have all endorsed and spoken on behalf of Ted Cruz.

The current U.S. Presidential Race, combined with House Speaker Paul Ryan at the helm of the DC legislature, provides an opportunity to highlight just how close passage of Amnesty law was in 2014.

A passage that would have fundamentally, and irreversibly, changed the landscape of the U.S.A forever.

The senate “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation was not blocked by Senator Ted Cruz or Senator Marco Rubio – it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.
A very insightful PBS documentary “The Immigration Battle” lays out exactly what took place during the 2013/2014 legislative time frame. If you have not watched the documentary I would strongly recommend you do so, it is profoundly enlightening. (more…)

Open Discussion

On Friday March 25th Mark Levin finally dropped his crony-constitutional shtick and admitted he preferred to see the U.S. brought to it’s knees.  In a very revealing two hour broadcast he railed against trade “tariffs” claiming they were in direct opposition to the needs of the Chinese, Asian and European economies.

He followed up by saying Mitch McConnell was using the National Republican Senatorial Committee to perpetrate fraud against America.  Quoting the example of Thad Cochran’s re-election bid, Levin went on to say how horrid the construct of the NRSC is.  Of course, in order to reconcile his current endorsement for Senator Ted Cruz, Levin has to skip the part where Cruz was Vice-Chair of the NRSC when the Cochran fraud was presented.
Funny how that works.
But Levin is not alone in his new found exposure aligning himself with Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney as they collectively campaign and endorse Senator Cruz.  Oh, how the globalist intents make for such brilliantly exposed bedfellows when the covers are pulled back. (more…)

Those who follow politics the closest know the strategic reasoning for rebel alliance members to remain as small as possible as they work to diligently gather ground support toward the most successful of accomplishments.  The elimination of Eric Cantor did not come from a bellicose, and highly visible campaign. 
Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; instead it drives a reckoning.  Like a long-term battered spouse on the eve of a pre-planned exit, those who are no longer willing to accept the battered conservative syndrome think strategically, methodically, carefully…
In November of 2013 we sent out a clarion call to those who understand politics the best; a warning per se’, predicting what would happen in 2015/2016 if Mitch McConnell was reelected. In hindsight, today, even our largest detractors admit we were correct.  That’s the backdrop for this: (more…)

Sounds about right considering Walkers’ insider pedigree.  Scott Walker was single most disappointing candidate in the past decade. He won his elections, and was defended against all recall efforts, with the Tea Party on point.  However, he reversed his alignment and became BIG GOPe after his re-election bid. Walker is very close pals with Paul Ryan and Reince Preibus now.

WISCONSIN – If the Republican Party finds itself with an open convention in July, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker believes the nominee may not be Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or John Kasich.

“I think if it’s an open convention, it’s very likely it would be someone who’s not currently running,” Walker told reporters Thursday. “I mean, who knows. The one thing I qualify — it’s like the qualifications you see on those ads you see for car dealerships. I think any of us who comment on this election have to qualify that almost every prediction’s been off, so it’s hard to predict anything.” (more…)
