Frank Newell spent 38 years in the military. When he came home to his family farm in North Carolina, the bluebirds were gone.
When Frank was young, the fence posts around the pastures in Warrenton were wood, and Eastern bluebirds nested in them by the hundreds. When he came home decades later, the posts had been replaced with metal. The bluebirds had nowhere to nest and were disappearing.
Bluebirds can't excavate their own nest cavities. They depend on old woodpecker holes and natural rot in dead wood, both of which vanish when a landscape gets tidied up. So Frank started building them nest boxes by hand, 25 a week, with donated lumber and a Sears table saw that lasted him 33 years.
The word spread, volunteers joined, and businesses donated wood. The Eastern Bluebird Rescue Group, which Frank founded in 1996, has now built and distributed more than 500,000 bluebird houses, sold at or below cost. Warren County is now believed to hold the largest concentration of Eastern bluebirds in the United States.
Frank Newell has since passed away, but the group he started is still going, run by his daughter and son-in-law and a few dozen volunteers.
I filed Kentucky Open Records Act requests for records from the May 19 GOP Primary between Ed Gallrein & Thomas Massie.

An FEC complaint over MAGA Kentucky's $25 million and the deepfake ad featuring MTG's TAKE IT DOWN Act invocation goes out this week.
These three legal routes exist for anyone questioning the result.

Massie: Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture—that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.
Burkina Faso’s government under President Ibrahim Traoré has shut down all laboratories involved in a controversial genetically modified mosquito project, ordering the destruction of remaining samples and halting over a decade of research.
The project, known as Target Malaria, involved releasing gene-edited mosquitoes into the wild to combat malaria. It had been operating in the country since 2012 and had just received regulatory approval from Burkina Faso’s biosafety authorities weeks earlier.
However, the government acted after strong public opposition, stating that the people of Burkina Faso had not consented to their country being used as a testing ground for Western biotechnology experiments.
The modified mosquitoes were being developed in laboratories in the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
The People Stand with Massie
The pressure is on and the millions are flowing to kick @RepThomasMassie out of Congress. Despite pressure, smear campaigns, deepfake ads and a persistent effort by Donnie himself, the people stand with Thomas Massie.
We're not letting foreign interests and diddler-associates decide the fate of the nation, this race or this man.
Sorry Miriam, Paulson, Singer, Donnie and all the lizards online trying to pile on.
We ride with Thomas Massie.
Clips from @TuckerCarlson@freethepeople and more.
The man who produced Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Adele explains why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies:
"The audience comes last. I'm not making it for them, I'm making it for me."
"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience."
"So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."
"Everything we make as artists are essentially diary entries."

Ask yourself: why have these three billionaires spent over $2 million dollars attacking me over the past 6 weeks.
Is it because I’m 1 of 435 votes?
No, it’s because I have been exposing the swamp and I will continue to do so as long as I’m in office.
I stand with 🇺🇸 farmers.
I stand with victims of Epstein.
I stand with soldiers against unnecessary war.
I stand for medical freedom.
I stand against inflation, wasteful spending, and foreign aid..
I always put 🇺🇸 first.
and this upsets the swamp, but so be it.
@BauerOutage@cfuller2218 I really enjoy your in depth explanations on preparation, strategy, etc. Seems generous and self-effacing; quite the opposite of being an ass.
