Is The White House Flag At Half Staff, And If Yes, Does Anyone Know Why?

[sfstaxprep]

CNN just had a video shot of the WH, which appeared to be Live, and this was the case.

The only name I've heard that died recently of significance was former Senator Sarbanes. I'd be surprised if it was because of him, but hopefully someone has an idea.

It's the 79th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

8. And you'll notice how much attention...

the "commander in chief" paid to it.

6. It's the 79th Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

7. Maybe because today is Pearl Harbor?

9. Pearl Harbor

Has anyone seen any type of declaration/acknowledgment/mention by Donnie of this important day in our history ?.

[onenote]

13. Yes. He issued the standard proclamation over the weekend.

10. Thanks Everybody

I did realize the date earlier this morning, but I don't think I've heard a single mention of it on the news all day, to be honest.

I guess they have to focus on important stuff like discussing crybaby rants about non-existent election fraud.

11. Pearl Harbor

Has anyone seen any type of declaration/acknowledgment/mention by Donnie of this important day in our history ?.

12. Apparently there was a WH statement (very brief) on Friday.

16. Not really "very brief" -- comparable to other Presidents' Pearl Harbor proclamations

He does enough wrong. We don't have to make things up.

17. Why on Friday?

[onenote]

18. Probably because 12/7 is a Monday. Again, not unusual. Obama put out his 2015 statement on 12/4

also a Friday before Monday 12/7

Why is making an issue out of the Pearl Harbor proclamation so important to you? I'm sure you've noticed, thee's a whole lot more important things that Trump actually has done that are concerning, to say the least.

19. It fascinates me that you think that one statement (based on info here at .DU) and one

simple question, are an indication that I attach great important. Most of us are capable of observing and commenting on all manner of things here in any given time.

Have a nice night.

14. I know why but i doubt Trump does.
