California Dems Offer Prayer to a Strange New God to Open Assembly Session

(On Friday) A Democrat assembly member offered a prayer to open the assembly session, as is the time-honored custom, but the prayer wasn’t to any deity that you’d learn about in the average world religions course, even in these latter days of American colleges and universities being reduced to little more than Antifa recruitment centers. The prayer was offered to none other than Beyoncé.

State assembly member Tina McKinnon began conventionally enough, saying: “Good morning, Mr. Speaker, members, and guests. Let us pray.” That was when it all started to go off the rails. McKinnon told the assembled solons:

Raise your hands. Breathe in deep. Get yourself a new pair of boots, a shiny buckle, and a wide-brimmed hat. And sing praise as we enter the Cowboy Carter era. Ask yourself as Queen B ask [sic] us all, Can we stand for something? Now is not the time to face the wind, my friends. Now ain’t the time to pretend. Now is the time to let love in. Together, can we stand?

Members, now is not the time for alligator tears. You see, just like Beyoncé, my family lived and died in America. Good ol’ USA. A whole lotta red in that white and blue. History can’t be erased. You lookin’ for a new America? Are you tired, workin’ time and a half for half the pay? I just pray that we don’t crash, because I keep my Bible on the dash. We gotta keep the faith. Members, keep the faith. California, keep the faith. And the members say, Amen.

Queen B is Beyoncé and “Cowboy Carter” is the name of one of her albums. The bit about standing for something and this not being the time to face the wind comes from a song on that album, entitled “American Requiem.” The parts about looking for a new America and working time and a half for half the pay come from another song on that album, “Ya Ya.”
