On the Fact that Belmont University School of Law (In Nashville, Tennessee) Has One of Highest Bar Passage Rates In the Country and Yet U.S. News and World Report Continues to Have Them Ranked Outside the Top 80 In Their Ordering of U S. Law Schools (Lower than George Mason, Richmond, Villanova, Tulane, and William and Mary - All of Which Are Excellent Institutions but Which Have a Much Lower Bar Pass Rate)

   I don't have the answer to this. I suspect that there's at least some cronyism (in one of the comment sections a dude claimed that there was a Penn graduate on the committee and that that was one of the reasons why Penn was always ranked higher than Dartmouth, Cornell, and Brown - not sure if the claim is true or not as I never fact-checked the info) in that there's certainly a lot at stake here when it comes to accruing power (a marker that Belmont might not be sufficiently endowed with).
   But I think that there might be something else at work here (and I need to be careful with this as I don't wish to be sued). Have you ever heard the phrase, teaching to the test? Not suggesting that Belmont is doing this intentionally but there is such a phenomenon as institutional zeitgeist that on certain occasions spreads like wildfire.

On Elizabeth Montgomery's Mom In the 1930s - Quick Addendum

  Correction, this is not Elizabeth's mom, Elizabeth Allen. It's a different Elizabeth Allen, a beautiful English actress who was born in 1910, six years after Ms. Montgomery mom was born. And to make it even more baffling there was a third actress named Elizabeth Allen. This one (also quite attractive) was born in 1929 and resided in the U.S..

   P.S. And in case you weren't aware, Elizabeth Montgomery's dad was Robert Montgomery (his wife apparently wanted to keep her family's last name) the famous actor from the 1930s and '40s and quite a good looking fellow himself. 

   I'm hoping that I cleared this up, or at the bare minimum didn't make things more complicated.

Good genes or what?

On Migrants In Britain Now Being Given Booklets Informing Them that Raping Women (Along with Some Other Vile Business), Not Cool

First off, I suspect that their literacy rate likely isn't that great. But even if it was, putting these bozos on the honor-system just might be a wee-bit featherbrained (past performance crystal clear on this one).

On the Fact that You Might Be an Idiot if You Believe that -

  a) stabbing somebody in the chest is an appropriate reaction to getting shoved, b) socialism is a workable economic system, c) there are actually genocides on this planet in which the targeted group's population increases, d) multi-cultural societies (comprised of various ethnic, religious, and/or racial populations) can continue to thrive without a shared ethos and allegiance to one's country, e) massively adding to an already nearly bankrupt program will function smoothly and not affix even more trillions to our humongous national debt, f) convincing young children that they were born the "wrong" sex and that we can fix this through butchery and poisoning, g) allowing millions of unvetted and destitute illegal aliens into the country is a legitimate way to strengthen the U.S.., h) ditching the prison system COMPLETELY is a smart way to keep the rest of the public safe, i) defunding the police is another genius move, j) instituting hate-speech laws would be a legit Constitutional action, k) tweaking CO2 levels in the present will have a significant effect on the earth's climate a Century from now (there are dozens of variables that influence the climate and to assume that they will perpetually stay constant is idiotic), l) having the kids of working-class families getting stuck paying the tuition of kids from upper middle-class families (i.e., student loan forgiveness), and m) having biological men beat the daylights out of biological women in sporting events (including contact sports).
   Among other nonsense.

On Stupid Little Ramrods Thinking that They Can Unilaterally Overturn Federal Immigration Laws by Engaging In an ACTUAL Insurrection Through Lawlessness and Embarrassingly Buffoonish Behavior

  One of the primary reasons for this behavior is of course the incessant indoctrination that they receive from their radical and insular college professors who teach their students not how think but what to think.
  Another factor that I suspect plays a role here is the strong likelihood that precious few of these little nutjobs currently have a stake in society; no job, no house, no tax burden, maybe a car but maybe not, and so flooding the country with destitute people who'll sponge off the Treasury and cause the already burgeoning debt to skyrocket even higher isn't a lot of skin off their teeth. For sure.
