Exclusives
Our duly elected President, Donald John Trump, stands head and shoulders above the political class—Republican or Democrat. Unlike career politicians who treat campaign promises as disposable talking points, President Trump views them as a contract with the American people. From day one in office, he got to work honoring that contract. In an exclusive video essay for our Quite Frankly audience, James, The Black Conservative Patriot, breaks it all down. Don’t miss this powerful reminder of what real leadership looks like.
When we say “Ides of March,” what does it mean and what is its cultural significance? The important point to start is to understand the Roman system of dating.
What if everything we’ve been told about archaeology is a carefully crafted story? What if the true intent behind excavations and site preservation isn’t as noble as we’ve been led to believe? What if everything you see at the most famous archaeological sites in the world is all just a facade?
With Valentine’s Day on the horizon and the heightened security surrounding the recent inauguration of President Trump, we took a deep dive into the Secret Service code names for some of our most storied Commanders in Chief and their loving leading ladies.
To my dear friends in the Quite Frankly Nation: this essay is a basic theory of the fundamental building blocks of learning how “money” works, what it represents, and how you can start having a surplus of it and, hence, more abundance of it in your life.
As we begin this new year, let us light the flame of Liberty in our hearts and face the challenges ahead with courage and determination. These are not ordinary times—they are moments that call for greatness, for standing firm, and for fighting for the liberty that is our birthright.
Soon, our skeleton president will oversee his final day of American annihilation from inside his heavily guarded mausoleum—or as others like to call it: the White House.
To my dear Friends in the Quite Frankly Nation: The start of a new year is a good time for new beginnings. Let’s start with being happy.
It has been well over 200 years since Pluto last transited Aquarius. Is this the dawning of a new American Revolution?

The leftist politics and culture of subversion share a common source which may surprise you. It will surprise you not in the sense of a total ambush, wherein one will later scratch one’s head and claim one had no clue whatsoever the surprise was coming. It will surprise you, rather, in the less shocking sense that the universal source of leftism proves something recognizably bad—a familiar foe—and yet more potent an evil than formerly cognized, as well as covertly informative of all the many branches of leftism. This common source will surprise you in its leftism-generating ubiquity alone.

Direct from Frank
“When I think back on all of the milestone birthdays I’ve been blessed to reach, it all starts with 1990. I remember being in the back seat of my mother’s car thinking about how big the number five was, and how grown up it was going to be to finally get out of the booster seat.”
This time last year, even though everything was feeling warm and cheery for the first time in a few years, with travel restrictions and anxieties eased to nearly pre-2020 levels, and many spending money again on Christmas gifts and parties, there was still something dangling over our heads that was hard to completely ignore...2024. I was taking calls and collecting emails all December long leading up to New Year’s Eve, archiving predictions for what this now nearly-finished year was going to bring us.
It did not disappoint from a personal and a planetary level. No, 2024 lived up to its billing.
This month we wanted to put a little spotlight on a beloved member of the Quite Frankly family, and that is Tony Black.
If you’re looking for an exciting movie to watch this Halloween season, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few of my favorite films to set the tone for a spooktacular night of entertainment!

J reviews two of the most common questions he receives this time of year… “How can I avoid getting sick?” And, “how can I prevent my favorite holiday food from sabotaging all the work I’ve done all year?”
John Carroll Highlights
When we tune in to Quite Frankly every night at 7PM, we only ever see half of what’s going on in that department of the old parachute factory. About twenty feet away from Frank’s studio, his brother Anthony is busy perfecting his own life’s work – the musical sensation Ten Second Songs.
The intrinsic nature of Bitcoin mining creates the conditions for a digital domino effect akin to the web of alliances that propelled Europe into WWI.
I think it’s safe to say that the first two weeks of Trump’s second term have far surpassed even our highest expectations. Just, wow! Things are actually happening! Trump obviously came in with a much better plan this time, and has already achieved tangible results. It’s unheard of for the government to act so swiftly, and it’s shocking to watch.
Playlists
Spring is in the air and it’s time to go for a drive, roll down those windows and blast some tunes.

To my dear friends in the Quite Frankly Nation: this essay is a basic theory and fundamental building block of how “healing” works: where it starts and how it operates.
Humans are both physical and spiritual beings. Healing begins with taking this assumption as true in order to work within the realm of the Universal Source of Love energy.
The “as above, so below” phrase is really an order of operations that tells us how to begin.
My starting theory is that if we really are ‘created in God’s image,’ then we are, each of us, a part of the God energy, which is the Universal Love energy that surrounds all of us and holds the universe together. This means, theoretically, that the God energy, in the form of Unconditional Love, lives within us in the space between our DNA. We are, literally, made of Love energy.
