Politicians Forced To Cancel Prayer Breakfast After Lightning Keeps Striking Building

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The 2023 National Prayer Breakfast came to an abrupt and premature end today due to severe lightning that kept striking the building where the politicians were gathered.

"Well anyway, you know, we're here to pray to, you know... the thing!" said a barely audible Biden as deafening thunder shook the room. "Let's all remember that a woman's right to choose is fundamental to our..."

The President was unable to complete his sentence as lightning struck again and killed power to the entire building.

"I've never seen anything like it," said Congressman Scalise as he dove out of the way of a piece of the roof as it caved in. "Why is the lightning only striking this building and none of the others? It just doesn't make sense!"

Eyewitnesses have confirmed that a small local storm formed directly over the Hilton's International Ballroom at approximately 8 am and has been striking the building with lightning over and over again for hours.

At publishing time, the storm had mysteriously ceased after all the politicians left the building.

Well the Bee struck me 5 times with this one before I was shocked to discover it was the Bee.

We hold these truths to be self-evident; all men and women created by... you know, you know the thing.

But I seem to remember a REAL event in Philly I think where the USSC judges were imposed on a background of our earliest judges...and the background fell over on the judges present. I’ll have to find that.

Why are these clowns having a prayer breakfast when prayer is no longer allowed in public school?
Who are they praying to?
What do they pray about?
Just a bunch of political virtue signaling.

I like The Bee’s satire better than I like reality.

If only this were true.

Somebody forgot to bring the 1-Iron to the National Prayer Breakfast.

According to the great theologian Lee of Trevino, even God can’t hit a 1-Iron.
