[Babylon Bee] Under the advisement of the CDC and WHO, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases will be replacing all COVID tests with just a coin you flip.
"It seems to be about as accurate," confirmed Dr. Anthony Fauci while signing autographs for CNN reporters. "The PCR tests give us a lot of false positives and the rapid antigen tests most people now use are even less reliable. At this point, it is prudent to recommend a coin toss as a cost-saving measure."
Official CDC guidance states the test can be performed with any spare change, but that best results are achieved with the official government-issued coin toss quarter.
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson slammed the new coin test. "Americans have been sliding down the slippery slope for two years now. First, we had to lockdown for two weeks to 'slow the spread,' then we were told we could stop wearing masks if we took an experimental vaccine. Now the health of Americans hinges on a coin toss!?"
Tucker then stared at the camera in a mix of confusion and anger, like he didn't know what to order from Burger King.
On Tuesday morning, Sen. Rand Paul rudely asked Dr. Fauci if the coin test was an attempt to lengthen the pandemic by legitimizing random test results.
"Again with the theater," said a righteously angry Dr. Fauci who did not answer the question. "You are wrong again, as usual! Mic drop!"
In light of new testing guidance, President Biden is rebranding his promise to send free COVID tests to every American by referring to it as a new stimulus bill. The Free Money Bill is planned to boost waning approval in time for the 2022 midterm elections.

[FoxNews] Durant, who has never held elected office, says people are ready for a fresh face and an outsider, rather than a career politician
Former U.S. Army Special Operations aviator Mike Durant is making a splash as the newest candidate in the Republican race to become Alabama's next U.S. senator, joining an already heated contest to replace retiring Republican Sen. Richard Shelby at the end of his term.
Durant, who was famously shot down during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia and portrayed in the 2001 film "Black Hawk Down," told Fox News in an exclusive interview that his experience in the military, and as a small business owner working with the Department of Defense, had prepared him to take a stand for average Alabamians against the Biden administration's "mismanagement" of the country.
Durant expressed his desire for America to hold on to the founding principles that made it great, rather than cave to pressure from the liberal media seeking to tear them all apart in their efforts to appease Big Tech companies.
"There's a frustration level that is arguably at its highest point now with the current administration, the kind of decisions that are being made. And if I had to point to a single event that just put me over the top, it's probably the way the withdrawal from Afghanistan was handled," Durant said when asked why he decided to jump into the race after his now-opponents, Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., and businesswoman Katie Britt, had already been campaigning for months.
"I just couldn't believe it understanding the decades of sacrifice, thousands of lives lost, and just to see complete mismanagement because you have people in positions of authority who are career politicians – they don't understand the implications of their decisions," he said, seemingly referencing President Biden who has spent over 50 years of his life in public office.
Durant said when compared to most career politicians, he has lived two lives. He pointed to his time in the U.S. Army as well as his subsequent career as a business owner. He added that because of those experiences he had a much better understanding of the issues facing Americans and couldn't see himself being angry on the sidelines any longer.
When asked how his experiences would help him stand out from Britt and Brooks, Durant argued that the longer one stayed in politics, the further they distanced themselves from the real world.
"You don't understand what's really going on out there with average Americans, average Alabamians in this case, what impacts them, what their values are. You get sucked into the Washington machine," he said. "The founding fathers, their vision of this was not that. Their vision of this was citizens serve, they represent their constituents, they get something done, and they go back home."
Britt and Brooks each have extensive experience working in politics. The former served as Shelby's chief of staff before becoming president of the Business Council of Alabama, while the latter was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 after serving a number of years in the Alabama state legislature and as a member of the Madison County Commission.
While discussing his experience as a small business owner, Durant, who served as president and CEO of Pinnacle Solutions Inc. until reportedly turning control of the company over to his employees this month, said he knew what it was like to worry about the well-being of employees and their families, especially when working with the federal government and the accompanying uncertainty of whether a contract would be paid or not.
According to AL.com, the most recent polling in the race shows Brooks with a slight lead at 31.4% with Britt close behind at 26.2%. Durant, who joined the race months after Brooks and Britt, quickly jumped to 16.6%. Those undecided stand at 21.8%.
Alabama's Republican primary will be held on May 24. If no candidate receives at least 50% of the vote, the two candidates with the most votes will advance to a runoff.

He was the pilot of the second blackhawk that got shot down and the special forces snipers volunteered to help protect and died doing it. Durant was the only one that survived. I knew the crewchief SSt. Fields that went down with him.
While I don't know Durant's politics, he has got to be better than any commiefacist that is in the demoncrat party.
