"House of the Dragon" threw one new fascinating character in its season two finale that will have great importance down the line — Triarchy Admiral Lohar. But to do so, he has to win the respect of Admiral Lohar, the commander of the Triarchy fleet. Toward the end of the episode, Lohar and Tyland sail together with the Triarchy fleet, presumably bound for the Velaryon blockade. Eventually, a captain from Tyrosh captures him — but it's Fleet Admiral Sharako Lohar who claims him as a prisoner. In addition to attacking the Velaryon fleet, the Triarchy forces also made land on Driftmark, attacking a town called Spicetown.

Identify what's actually wrongAlthough the global sell-off hit U.S. markets hard, "the epicenter of the damage" was Japan, Cramer said. The sell-off started when Japan's stock market posted its worst drop since the stock market crash of 1987 known as Black Monday. The sell-off is sparked by money managers who think the Federal Reserve should have cut rates last week. Investors can also take advantage of the decline in interest rates and buy stocks that yield more than 4%, Cramer said.

Pitching the C-390 in the USA C-390 aircraft flies during an air show. Pete Syme/Business InsiderWhile there haven't been any public negotiations by the Pentagon to add any C-390s to its fleet, Embraer has made moves to pitch the plane to the US market. In an inaugural visit earlier this year, the Brazilian defense firm showcased the C-390 at its facilities in Melbourne, Florida, to "an important and diverse audience," the company said in a March statement. According to a press release, the event hosted a "diverse guest list of government authorities, military officials, prospects, and partners" and featured the A-29 Super Tucano, a turboprop light attack aircraft flown by some South American militaries. The Embraer president da Costa Jr. said the A-29 was built "just hours away in Jacksonville, Florida," hinting that the C-390 could be manufactured in the US as well — a common requirement for foreign aircraft operated by the US military.
