“Brandon Falls” is a reference to the slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” used to mock the president.

According to Slate, “In theory, anyone can create a new Google location. Given how often new businesses open or offices move, any real-time city map could be improved by crowdsourcing.”
The outlet noted in 2019 The Wall Street Journal reported that there were millions of sham business listings on Google Maps.
Biden fell off his bike last month near his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
A White House official said in a statement, “As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine. No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.”
Biden also told reporters he got his foot caught, adding, “I’m good.”
