Zelensky declared martial law the morning after Russia invaded this last time. Ukraine's parliament has been voting to extend it every 90 days or it lapses. The last vote to extend Ukrainian martial law for another 90 days was on May 8.

Petro Poroshenko was president of Ukraine before Zelensky and he had declared Ukrainian martial law in 2018 for 30 days after Russia fired upon and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels and their crews.

Russian aggression was the common element in those declarations, not the person who was president at the time and definitely not Blinken.

Got it, so Zelensky was the one that initially declared and you believe Blinken is not pulling the strings over there.

Personally, I believe Zelensky is just a puppet of Blinken. It was Blinken who, most recently, declared that there will not be elections in Ukraine until every citizen can vote.   I think the question is, who declared marshal law?

You left out, Niki will claim the spot on the ballot.

Trump will be a dictator dontchaknow.

Blinken seems to be guiding the ship in Ukraine wit the paused elections, etc. Makes me wonder if it is a trial run for here.

A little over a year ago I redid the decking and balusters on my deck.  That left me with quite a pile of wood. I had also accumulated 25+ years of stuff in the basement.  I had a 20 cubic foot dumpster brought in and filled it quite easily.  Still have stuff to get rid of. I've sold a lot of stuff on FB Marketplace and Nextdoor.  Nobody wants to buy china or collector plates or plated silver goods.  I did manage to sell  our sterling silver silverware we never really used to a silver and gold place. Got pretty good money for it.

Just how far did you get?  Which room did you make it too?

We found it a bit laborious.
