Brandon's PR managers posted this image of his stupid notes for his stupid lying SOTU, with the caption, "Getting ready."

Apparently Brandon needs things spelled out very slowly for him.

You can click the tweet and browse the replies, but yes, that's a single sentence that adds up to about five seconds of speaking taking up an entire page. At the end of that mental marathon, we then see that Biden even has to have his pauses scripted. Hopefully, given his history, he doesn't read what's in the brackets on Tuesday night.

Now, I know the response will be that this is normal. All presidents who give State of the Union addresses have massive font notes with their mannerisms written out for them to know what to do. Is that true, though?

Out of curiosity, I went and looked up what the notes from George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump's speeches looked like (see the pictures here, here, and here respectively). All of them include far more words per page and none of them had things like pauses scripted out. In other words, they had normal notes you'd expect a normal human being to have. Compare that to Biden's picture, and it's night and day.

Top women's surfer blasts world surf league for allowing men into the women's division.

Surfing champion Bethany Hamilton tore into the World Surf League's (WSL) new transgender policy, which would allow some biological men to compete against women, in a video posted Sunday.

The WSL released its new policy in October requiring biological men to maintain a testosterone level of less than 5 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) for 12 months in order to qualify for a women's competition. Hamilton said she will no longer compete if these rules are upheld in a Sunday video.

"I think many of the girls currently on tour are not in support with this new rule, and they fear being ostracized if they speak up," she said.

Real people -- not the 1000 obsessive weirdos who create and enforce Twitter Mob Rule -- are getting sick of this bullsh!t. Sick enough of it that they're willing, finally, to speak up against it and and say "No more."

David French wrote his debut column for the New York Times, and, get this, it's exactly the same as his previous 1000 gaseous missives.

Before I go further, let me put my own partisan cards on the table. I'm a conservative independent. I left the Republican Party in 2016, not because I abandoned my conservatism but rather because I applied it. A party helmed by Donald Trump no longer reflected either the character or the ideology of the conservatism I believed in, and when push came to shove, I was more conservative than I was Republican.

NeverTrumpers are Identity Politics Freaks, just like their new allies on the hard left. Just like the Identity Politics freaks of the far left we're more used to, NeverTrumpers can never stop writing about their "identity."

Every single "column" with these people is "Why I am a NeverTrumper, which is why I am so Virtuous, which is why I hate Trump." Identity, Identity, Identity. And you can't spell "Identity" without "I" -- they never f*cking stop yammering about themselves.

They criticize Trump for running a personality-based political movement.

Gentleladies, have I introduced you to yourselves? You cannot write about any actual issues. All you ever write about is yourselves. You are the ultimate in personality-based "political" movements.

You're not a political movement; you're a very well-funded Group Therapy Session for low-testosterone overweight nancymen.

On Friday, I noted the Thot Trend of wearing Athletic Lingerie to public gyms and then attempting to shame men for daring to look at the bulbous bits on full display.

Maybe this is having negative consequences for non-thot women, as men are now deciding: I'm not getting trapped by your Karen sh!t.

Below, a woman gets into trouble squatting -- and no men will come over to help her.

Maybe no men heard her. Or maybe they noted that she was videoing herself, and wearing skintight leggings, and smelled a Karen Trap.
