Birth:
Aurelius Lennon (often spelled Aurelis in initial social media announcements) was born on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
He is the first child of musician Sean Ono Lennon and his longtime partner, Charlotte Kemp Muhl. His birth marks a major milestone for the family, as he is the very first grandchild of the late Beatles legend John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
The father, 50 years of age; the mother, 39.
Military: there are many discussions right now with regard to the need for manned aircraft in this age of drones. It's navel-gazing. The conversations are incredibly interesting, but for an investor, we need to know the facts. With regard to this question, this is the only thing investors need to know: it will be a mix (drones; and manned and, eventually, unmanned aircraft [RPA / RPAS).
How do we know this?
- drones: common sense; confirmed by the current conflict with Iran; and,
- the USAF is continuing to procure manned a/c designed to fly for 30 - 40 years.
So, discuss this until the cows come home but common sense and facts on the ground provide the answer. Unless they are remotely controlled / fully autonomous a/c, "classical" drones will never be big enough to carry 30,000-lb bunker busters.
Larak Island (Iran): one of many links regarding this island on YouTube. A much longer pro-US media site. Good but a little bit too hyper, pro-US.
Dog whistles: The use of "blitz" by The New York Times speaks volumes. The word blitz comes from the German noun Blitz, which means "lightning":
