The Feds dropped the interest rate by half a point. This will make Harris fare better, but it does not address the core problem. It will also make China and Wall Street happy. This is BS.

“Yellowstone“ actor Cole Hauser shared his thoughts on the final episodes of the popular drama, saying it’s “different” from prior seasons. Season 5 is scheduled to be released in November. Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler on the show, talked with Fox News Digital after wrapping up filming. “God, I just literally finished it 10 days ago, and I’ve been thinking about what the season means,” the 49-year-old actor said. “The last seven years of doing this show, and [showrunner Taylor Sheridan] is just such an amazing writer, and he’s just done a great job again of trying to wrap this thing up.” He added, “Not into a perfect bow, it never really is with ‘Yellowstone,’ but it’s some really dramatic stuff and it’s heartfelt. It’s different than past seasons, certainly, but in a good way. So, I’m excited for the audience in the ‘Yellowstone’ world to check it out and, hopefully, they love it. That’s all you can hope for.” The big change for Season 5 is that Dutton family patriarch John Dutton, Rip’s boss and the father of his love interest Beth, is not part of the storyline. The role was played by Kevin Costner for all the previous seasons of “Yellowstone.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Hauser said he enjoyed working with Costner, telling Fox News, “In my opinion, he’s one of those guys that comes to work and he’s always laid the wood. You know what I mean? He’s somebody that everybody looks up to or has looked up to. I’ve enjoyed every bit of working with him.” Costner left to work on his passion project, the film series “Horizon” that so far has had lackluster results at the box office. “I wanted to work more than once a year and it was important that I made room for ‘Yellowstone’ and made room for ‘Horizon,’ but people ran through deadlines. They were busy; they had a lot to do,” the actor explained during an interview on “CBS Mornings” in June. He said he’d return to “Yellowstone” if “the story is going the right way.” Despite the series coming to an end, there are rumors that a new iteration of “Yellowstone” will continue. Hauser said he’d be on board if that happened. “I can’t comment right now, but I mean, listen, in a perfect world, I think it would be amazing to see this thing go on, but there’s a lot of different people involved in that decision,” he told the outlet. “I’m a hired gun. I ain’t a producer, I ain’t the studio head, just a hired gun. But I hope so. I hope it really happens because it would be fun.”

Author J.K. Rowling laid out the mental health risks associated with the rhetoric coming from proponents of radical gender ideology, arguing that it was more likely to contribute to an increase in mental health problems than to help address them. Rowling began by sharing an example of the rhetoric to which she was referring: “Are you complaining about people who feel they’d rather die than live bound by the expectations of masculinity and presenting as a barbarian caveman? Would YOU like to be seen as a man? Would YOU like to let go of your femininity? No? It might make you feel like dying, yes?” The “Harry Potter” author cut straight to the heart of the matter, saying that such rhetoric was guaranteed to compound the problems of those suffering from gender dysphoria by fostering an unhealthy dependence on outside affirmation. “An infallible recipe for poor mental health and lifelong unhappiness is believing that unless the entire world validates your self-perception, it hates you,” Rowling began. “If you move through life telling yourself that unless you can force other people to play along you’ll ‘be ‘erased,’ if the slightest hint that another person doesn’t see you the way you’ve labelled yourself feels like an attack on your very existence, your life will be spent in a state of miserable insecurity and fragility.” “Would I like to ‘let go’ of my femininity? Willingly; femininity is the set of stereotypes imposed on women by men. Would it ‘make me feel like dying’? Of course it wouldn’t,” Rowling continued. She concluded by pointing out how such statements fed the oft-repeated lie that trans-identifying young people were more likely to take their own lives if their identity was not accommodated — up to and including risky and irreversible hormones and medical procedures — by those around them. “Vulnerable young people are being harmed by your kind of hyperbolic language, which promotes the lie about the inevitability of suicide among the gender-questioning unless they’re given often irreversible medical interventions,” she said. “Rhetoric like this flies in the face of everything we know about mitigating suicide risk among those with mental health issues and it’s particularly gruesome when done by self-congratulatory people on Twitter whose banner picture is ‘be kind.'”
