McClennen: Today, in conflict after conflict, there is not even the slightest pretense of trying to follow any rules of engagement, any codes of conduct, and any ethical protocols. But it’s worse. Because in today’s conflicts it is only one side that gets carte blanche to engage in conflict without limits. While those they attack are held to standards that exist for their side alone. That is the definition of the end of the fair fight.

He shone a spotlight on the claims that eventually became part of their proof of Gay's alleged deficit — and of the failures of DEI.

Katt Williams is right about the mediocre state of comedy – just look around From Melanie McFarland: Williams’ braggadocio is glorious, and enough of his claims are questionable to let a person know he’s best considered as a master of telling tall tales in games of he said-he said. Woven throughout the bluster, however, are several accurate observations hinting at why so many of the top stand-up specials served on streaming platforms feel stale. Part of what Williams says we already know, which is that fame in the stand-up world is related less to the material than who the gatekeepers want to push to the fore.
