President Donald Trump announced that federal agencies will be closed on December 5th in honor of the passing of 41st President George H. W. Bush, who passed away Nov. 30.

I’m clearly missing something here.
Good morning, GN, and Happy Hanukkah!
Chappy First Day of Chanukkah, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!
I love the menorah!
Fatwa -- I don’t have a great answer to your question, but I suspect it’s a matter of political optics and expectations.
