The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

Born on this day in 1893, my great uncle, John Cole. John served in the Royal West Kents during the Great War; he survived but not with all his limbs. The 1939 Register notes his occupation as a Small Holder. He married Edna Ward in 1921, and they had two children. John died in July 1971.

The world’s first-known woman physician?
#NationalTriviaDay
Peseshet, "Lady Overseer of the Lady Physicians,” who lived under the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (possibly Fifth), c. 2500 BCE. Her "Overseer" title strongly suggests other women physicians were practicing at the time.
