A Belated Declaration Day Card....Wait; What?

Thomas Jefferson actually began drafting the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776. So...

Also, the Civil Rights Act passed just 12 years before the bicentennial of the Declaration's drafting!

PS "Momma" did the card this way because of the way that the picture of Reilly came out and because she accidentally somehow made the background black for a second. Then the background stayed black, and the original version of the card for Throwback Thursday is...a surprise until  Thursday!

Of Course, Reilly And Camille Haven't Forgotten...

Besides, they have human family and friends in and from Canada!

A Belated #WoofWednesday & #WorldWednesday

Nicole Czarnecki's answer to "If my maternal grandmother was Jewish, but my maternal grandfather wasn't, am I Jewish?" on Quora

Yes. Here’s the little secret that few like to tell: the one-sixteenth rule comes right from Tanakh (Specifically, Divrei HaYamim Alef). Because Anti-Semitic and other racists perverted it, what was a protection of bloodlines for as many generations as possible—i.e., that you could be considered a given ethnicity so long as you were one-sixteenth that—became perverted into the one-drop rule.

14 The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, whom his wife bore--his concubine the Aramitess bore Machir the father of Gilead;

15 and Machir took a wife of Huppim and Shuppim, whose sister's name was Maacah--and the name of the second was Zelophehad; and Zelophehad had daughters.

16 And Maacah the wife of Machir bore a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rekem.

17 And the sons of Ulam: Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.

18 And his sister Hammolecheth bore Ish-hod, and Abiezer, and Mahlah.

19 And the sons of Shemida were Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam. {P}

Machir ben Menashe was one-sixteenth Jewish and established the cutoff when he married a daughter of ‘Am Yisra’el. Why? Because Yitzchak, through whom B’nei Avraham are counted, was the first Jew (and Jews are called thus partly because Yehudah—Judah—is the tribe through whom is the ancestral line of Mashiach—assuming that there is a literal Mashiach and regardless of whom one believes him to be).

A Special Card From Reilly?

PS "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" guesses that one could this either ironic or a paw-Ri-dogs....and she would make Reilly's and Camille's cheeks pink if they could comprehend what she's saying, since they'd find her un-punny!

This one "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" made to show kavod to fellow Jews whom either believe in Jesus but don't celebrate Christmas or don't believe in Jesus.
