Budget cuts. Over the course of a year that extra time adds up.

It is ridiculous the amount of stuff that they lower the flag for these days. Most of which are against the flag code. It has gotten to the point that flag spends at much time at half mast as it does at full mast.

First time I noticed this was when MLK's wife died and Clinton ordered them lowered. It has become a joke IMO.

Shooting in California I believe, they are half staff here in Texas too. The half staff website lists the alerts: LINK

The President ordered the flag be flown at half mast at the White House in memory of the 12 people killed in Cali this week.

Therefor the rest of the country is to follow suite

It is to recognize the senseless beating LSU took from BAMA last weekend. They have been flying at half mast since BAMA went up 6-0.

I heard they will raise them again when...or if... LSU scores A point against BAMA next year.
