Here's a look at the history of the West Texas 6666 Ranch, which sold for over $320 million Alana Edgin, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Thu, June 9, 2022, 4:11 PM In this article: Taylor Sheridan American screenwriter and director Samuel Burk Burnett American rancher The 6666’s Ranches, comprising 266,255-plus acres in West Texas, has been sold to an American screenwriter. The ink is officially dry on the sale of the historic West Texas 6666 Ranch, which carried a price tag of over $320 million for 266,255-plus acres. Taylor Sheridan, fellow Texan and American screenwriter, now owns a property filled with the history starting in the 1800s, according to a news release. The ranch, also known as the 4-6's, was founded in 1870 and covered multiple counties. It had three divisions - The 6666’s Ranch in Guthrie with 142,372 acres, Dixon Creek Ranch in Carson and Hutchison Counties with 114,455 acres, and Frisco Creek in Sherman County with 9,428 acres.

While the sprawling lands cover a large area, the headquarters was on the 4-6's near Guthrie. The "Big House," though a more recent addition, is one spot that stood out in the compound, totaling at 13,280 square feet of living area. It contains 13 bedrooms, 13 baths, three powder rooms, two kitchens, dining room and three fireplaces, according to an article from 2020. Headquarters also has: Pilot’s quarters. Two bunk houses. The famous 6666’s loft barn. Several horse sheds. Shop building. Equipment storage. Feed building. Round pen. Dog kennel. Two laborer houses. Approximately 20 employee houses. The 6666’s Supply House. And a 3,600 square foot enclosed airplane hangar with a 65 foot x 6,000 foot asphalt lighted private landing strip. The 6666 Ranch's history Samuel Burk Burnett, who later went on to become an influential cattleman in Texas history, founded the ranch in 1870 at the age of 19. In 1900, he purchased the 8 Ranch in Guthrie, followed by the Dixon Creek Ranch. By 1917, Burnett set his eyes on crafting "the finest ranch house in West Texas." That house still stands, and his legacy bears a mark on Texas. He met with Quanah Parker and Theodore Roosevelt, and in 1905 invited President Roosevelt to a wolf hunt. During that hunt, Burnett influenced an area's name change from Nesterville to Burkburnett. 1906 wolf hunt, Native American Territory. Participants included Quanah Parker, Burk Burnett and Theodore Roosevelt. In 1910, Burnett moved on to oil and banking, handing the ranch off to his eldest son. He died on June 27, 1922. Anne Marion, who assumed management of the 6666’s Ranch in 1980, died on Feb. 11, 2020. She was the fourth-generation owner, and after her passing was memorialized with an life-size bronze statue. Late Four Sixes Ranch owner Anne Marion honored at Ranching Heritage Center Marion, a member of the Texas Tech University board of regents from 1981-1986, received the National Golden Spur Award from the National Ranching Heritage Center in 2001. Her will wished for the ranching operations to be sold. 'Yellowstone' TV show, more filmed at 6666 Ranch The King of Western Swing James Robert Wills, who performed with his family at the ranch occasionally. "Mackintosh and T.J.," a 1975 movie starring Roy Rogers, was filmed at the ranch. This was also Rogers' final film. "Yellowstone," a television series directed by Sheridan, was filmed on the ranch.

‘The View': Joy Behar Says Gun Laws Will Definitely Change ‘Once Black People Get Guns in This Country’ Andi Ortiz Wed, June 8, 2022, 12:32 PM Joy Behar got blunt on Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” saying that if more Black people in the country owned guns, politicians would enact gun reform much quicker. The hosts spent most of the Hot Topics discussion on gun reform once more, as they regularly have been since the horrific killing of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. In the days following the mass shooting, the women at the table have offered their thoughts on what will actually prompt congress to act, suggesting this week that gun advocates be forced to see “these graphic photographs of what these guns do to little kids bodies.” The hosts got heated as most of them once again argued that AR-15s need to be taken off the market altogether. Host Joy Behar criticized the Republican party for effectively making that idea “a no-starter” though. But conservative guest host Lindsey Granger, a gun owner herself, then told the story of a man in Connecticut who built his own AR-15 after his neighbor was hit by a home invasion, in which his family was killed. In the state, it is illegal to own an assault weapon, but according to Granger, there are rules that allow residents to build them. So, the man built the weapon and has it solely to protect his family. Also Read: ‘The View': Joy Behar Says Fox News Won’t Air Jan. 6 Hearings in Primetime Because ‘They’re Implicated in The Day’ (Video) “He is a Black man, it’s odd. Most AR-15 owners are former military, 35+ and married. That’s all I’m saying is that they’re not just crazy people,” Granger added. Granger did not specify when this incident was, but in 2019, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont passed two laws banning “ghost guns.” Ghost guns are firearms that don’t have serial numbers, generally because they’re sold in pieces and can be assembled at home. But in response, Behar jumped in with her hypothesis. “Here’s the thing, once Black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change. Trust me,” Behar said. At that, Granger seemed stunned into silence. But host Sunny Hostin jumped in to support Behar, noting that “that’s what happened with the Black Panthers. She’s right.” Indeed, the Black Panthers did spark gun reform back in 1967, after members protested on the steps of the California statehouse while armed. That protest was a driving factor in passing the Mulford Act, which banned the open carry of loaded firearms. Once she gathered herself a bit, Granger attempted to argue that Black people do own guns, and increasingly so, but Whoopi Goldberg cut the argument off. Elsewhere in the discussion, Granger argued that at least some change has already been made. “In Buffalo, that shooter was charged with a terrorism charge. So that is a big deal to me,” she said. “So that’s making change, because we’re recognizing that this is a terrorist, and I agree that he is.”

Several thousand migrants set out walking in the rain early Monday in southern Mexico, tired of waiting to normalize their status in a region with little work still far from their ultimate goal of reaching the United States. (AP Photo/Isabel Mateos) ASSOCIATED PRESS TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Several thousand migrants set out walking in the rain early Monday in southern Mexico, tired of waiting to normalize their status in a region with little work and still far from their ultimate goal of reaching the United States. Their advocates said they wanted to call attention to their plight, timing it with this week’s Summit of the America’s in Los Angeles. It was estimated to include 4,000 to 5,000 migrants, mostly from Central America, Venezuela and Haiti. It is the largest migrant caravan to attempt to leave southern Mexico this year. Mexican authorities have eventually broken up the others through a mix of force and offers to more quickly resolve their cases. For months, migrants and asylum seekers have complained that Mexico’s strategy of containing them in the southernmost reaches of the country has made their lives miserable. Many carry significant debts for their migration and there are few opportunities for work in Mexico’s south. Meanwhile, Mexico’s asylum agency has been overwhelmed by the surging number of applicants. Restrictive policies have made applying for asylum in Mexico one of the few routes migrants have to legalize their status and be able to continue traveling north.

Economic issues top the public's agenda: POLL HANNAH DEMISSIE June 5, 2022, 9:00 AM 0:00 1:58 Biden plots inflation fight - Drivers at this gas station in downtown Los Angeles As the midterm election approaches, most Americans say that the economy, inflation and rising gas prices are the most important issues in determining how they will vote for Congress this November, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll. With inflation on the rise since last fall, Americans have been significantly affected by the rising cost of goods and services. And, more than eight in 10 Americans (83%) now say that the economy is either an extremely or very important issue in determining how they will vote, in the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel. In the poll, 80% of Americans say that inflation is also an extremely or very important factor in how they will vote and for gas prices, it is 74%. Joe Biden's approval ratings for his handling of these key issues are all well underwater, suggesting trouble for the president and Democratic candidates ahead of the midterm. Only 37% approve of Biden’s handling of the economic recovery, and even fewer approve of his handling of inflation (28%) and gas prices (27%). PHOTO: Gas prices are displayed at a Manhattan station, June 1, 2022, in New York City. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images) Friday, Biden spoke about the May jobs report, which saw 390,000 jobs added and unemployment remained at 3.6%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even though Biden said the latest jobs report was "excellent," he acknowledged that many Americans are still worried about the economy. "I know that even with today's good news, a lot of Americans remain anxious, and I understand the feeling," Biden said. Biden's highest approval rating is for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic (56%), which is now among the least important issues to Americans, according to the ABC News/Ipsos poll. In an April ABC News/Ipsos poll, there was a 20-point gap between Republicans and Democrats in enthusiasm to vote this November, with 55% percent of Republicans saying they were very enthusiastic about voting compared to 35% of Democrats. That gap has narrowed somewhat in this poll, but Republicans still enjoy a significant advantage with 57% saying they are enthusiastic about voting compared to 44% of Democrats.

(Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images) The poll also found that gun violence (72% saying extremely or very important) and abortion (63%) are also potentially important drivers of the vote. As the nation waits to see if the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade and Congress considers legislation in the wake of the mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas, these issues stand just below the top tier drivers of the vote. These figures also demonstrate that while rising inflation and gas prices may be the primary factors pushing people to vote this election cycle, gun violence and abortion are also growing in importance in the mind of voters. A separate question asking what the single most important issue will be in their vote for Congress showed a similar ranking of issue priorities. The top issues were inflation (21%), the economy (19%), gun violence (17%) and abortion (12%). MORE: Supreme Court apparently to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case, draft opinion shows: Report Meanwhile, 70% think that enacting new laws to reduce gun violence should be a higher priority than protecting the right to own a wide variety of guns (29%). The last time this question was asked, in March 2021, 66% said enacting new laws to reduce gun violence should be the higher priority. Thursday, Biden addressed the American people following a string of mass shootings across the country and said that if members of Congress do not act, they will be voted out. "If Congress fails, I believe this time a majority of the American people won't give up. I believe the majority of you will act to turn your outrage into making this issue central to your vote. Enough," Biden said. Congress will hold hearings this week to address the gun violence epidemic in the country as pressure mounts on legislatures to take action to combat the rise of mass shootings. This ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted using Ipsos Public Affairs‘ KnowledgePanel® June 3-4, 2022, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 542 adults.

House speaker Pelosi discloses trades in Apple and Microsoft NOEL RANDEWICH June 6, 2022, 5:57 PM (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi disclosed new stock market trades on Monday, showing purchases of options to buy shares of Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp. In a periodic transaction report signed last Friday and appearing on the House of Representatives' website on Monday, the senior Democrat disclosed that her husband, financier Paul Pelosi, on May 13 bought Apple call options for between $500,001 and $1 million. On May 24, he bought more Apple call options, in an amount between $250,001 and $500,000, the disclosure https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/ptr-pdfs/2022/20021142.pdf shows. On the same day, Paul Pelosi bought Microsoft call options for as much as $600,000. Users on social media platforms including Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and TikTok have scrutinized Pelosi's trade disclosures in recent months, believing her position as House Speaker gives her and her husband an edge. A 2012 law makes it illegal for lawmakers to use information from their work in Congress for their personal gain. The law requires them to disclose stock transactions by themselves or family members within 45 days. Pelosi in January signaled that she might be willing to advance legislation to completely ban stock trading by lawmakers. That was a reversal from her previous position defending lawmakers' right to trade stocks. Proposals by Democrats in Congress this year to prohibit stock trading by lawmakers have yet to pass. Pelosi's stock trading performance ranked sixth-best in Congress in 2021, with Republican Congressman Austin Scott leading the way, according to an analysis https://unusualwhales.com/i_am_the_senate/full by Unusual Whales, a service selling financial data. Paul Pelosi's purchases of Apple and Microsoft options in May followed a steep Wall Street selloff this year related to worries about inflation and rising interest rates. So far in 2022, Pelosi has filed six transaction reports, disclosing several trades in Apple, the world's most valuable company. She has also disclosed trades in Walt Disney Co, Tesla Inc, PayPal Holdings and other widely held stocks. The Justice Department ended investigations of stock trades by at least three senators ahead of the 2020 market slump, caused by the coronavirus pandemic, without filing charges.

Largest-ever migrant caravan of 15,000 people gathers in Mexico Former Texas assistant Attorney Gen. Robert Henneke weighs in on the largest-ever migrant caravan gathering in Mexico and on gas prices that have doubled since President Biden took office. A Haitian migrant taking part in what could be the largest ever migrant caravan through Mexico to the U.S. is demanding that President Biden keep his promise to allow them to stay once they reach the border. "He promised the Haitian community he will help them," the migrants, who were interviewed by Fox News Friday, said. "He will recall Title 42. He will help us have real asylum." The migrant is taking part in a caravan that could become the largest ever to reach the U.S. southern border, with the current number of close to 10,000 migrants, is expected to swell to about 15,000 before it reaches the border. The caravan departed Tapachula on the Mexico-Guatemala border on Monday. The migrants, which mostly come from Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, will travel what is known as the coastal route to reach the U.S. border. Migrants walk in a caravan heading to Mexico City, in Pijijiapan, Mexico in 2021. The new caravan is expected to be the largest ever. "We consider we are around 9,500, it measures 51/2 km from the start to the end, people keep on joining, in the first police check there were approx 100-150 national guard, INM, state police and let us through freely," the caravan's organizer, Luis Villagran said. The migrant's comments come as the Biden administration continues its fight to end Title 42, a Trump-era rule that allows the U.S. to expel asylum seekers without the typical legal process. The policy was enacted early in the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to help prevent the virus from spreading, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcing earlier this year that it planned to lift the order. But a lawsuit filed by 24 states at least temporarily put plans to end the rule to a halt, with a Louisiana U.S. District Judge ruling that the restrictions can stay in place until the lawsuit is resolved. The states have argued that lifting the rule would lead to a "wave of illegal migration and drug trafficking." President Biden. (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Critics have blamed the president for creating what has become a crisis at the southern border, arguing Biden's reversal of Trump-era immigration policies has created an incentive for migrants to make the dangerous journey through Mexico to the U.S. border. MIGRANT SAYS HE CAME TO US BORDER BECAUSE BIDEN WAS ELECTED, WOULD NOT HAVE TRIED TO CROSS UNDER TRUMP The crisis has become politically challenging for the White House, seemingly leading to Biden's change of tune when it comes to migrants seeking refuge in the U.S. "Don't leave your town or city or community," Biden said in an interview with ABC last year. "We're gonna make sure we have facilities in those cities and towns run by department of — by DHS and also access with HHS, the Health and Human Services, to say you can apply for asylum from where you are right now." U.S. Border Patrol agents capture a migrant near the U.S. and Mexico border fence in Calexico, California, U.S., on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021. The number of undocumented immigrants apprehended trying to cross the southern border is down slightly compared to this time last month, when crossings were at a 21-year high, NBC News reports.

Before Stormy Daniels, disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was in hot water in Biloxi Jesse Lieberman Fri, June 3, 2022, 2:28 PM Michael Avenatti, the prominent California based attorney that rose to fame representing porn star Stormy Daniels, was recently sentenced to four years in prison for defrauding his client. Avenatti was already serving a sentence of two-and-a-half years for an attempted extortion of Nike. According to ESPN, the U.S District Judge that oversaw the case called his behavior “outrageous.” His most recent sentence comes for stealing more than $300,000 from Daniels’ book advance in 2018, according to the New York Daily News. The tell-all highlighted her experiences with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Before both of these incidents, the disgraced attorney found himself in hot water in Biloxi over a $500,000 loan from The People’s Bank. According to Sun Herald archives, Avenatti secured the loan in 2015 after paying off two previous short-term loans totaling $3.6 million from the Biloxi bank. He had requested a $2.5 million line of credit but only received $500,000 after the bank requested extensive financial records that resulted in Avenatti’s submission of false IRS records, according to a federal complaint. Avenatti failed to pay off the $500,000 on time but eventually squared up before it was turned over to collections.

And the NFL is planning something similar too, WTH.

Toyota’s prototype 'cartridge' is a way to make hydrogen portable Toyota Steve Dent ·Contributing Reporter Thu, June 2, 2022, 7:00 AM One of the myriad issues with hydrogen as a clean energy source is infrastructure, as it's very expensive to move around and store an extremely explosive gas. Toyota and its subsidiary Woven Planet believe they may have a solution with a new portable hydrogen cartridge prototype. The idea is that they can be filled up at a dedicated facility, transported where needed, then returned when you receive your next shipment. The cartridges would be relatively small at 16 inches long, 7 inches in diameter and about 11 pounds in weight. Toyota calls them "portable, affordable, and convenient energy that makes it possible to bring hydrogen to where people live, work, and play without the use of pipes.. [and] swappable for easy replacement and quick charging." They could be useful for "mobility [i.e. hydrogen cars], household applications, and many future possibilities we have yet to imagine," Toyota said. It didn't mention any specific uses, but it said that "one hydrogen cartridge is assumed to generate enough electricity to operate a typical household microwave for approximately 3-4 hours." In its press release, Toyota acknowledges that most hydrogen is made from fossil fuels and so not exactly green. But it thinks that it'll be generated with low carbon emissions in the future, and that the cartridges could help with some of the infrastructure issues. Toyota plans to test that theory by conducting proof of concept trials in various places, including its "human-centered smart city of the future," Woven City in Susono City, Zhizuoka Prefecture in Japan. The company is also "working to build a comprehensive hydrogen-based supply chain aimed at expediting and simplifying production, transport, and daily usage," it said. Hydrogen is an impractical fuel for automobiles, mainly due to the expense and lack of places to refuel. It's more viable for things like trains and semi trucks, where electrification can be more of a challenge. It also holds promise for air transportation, as batteries are too heavy to be practical in that situation. However, Toyota seems to be pitching the cartridges for personal and home use, but it's not yet clear what you'd use them for.

Biden keeps repeating false Second Amendment claim, despite repeated fact checks President Biden has revived a pro-gun control talking point in the wake of the Uvalde mass school shooting that has been repeatedly debunked throughout the years. Biden told reporters on Memorial Day that the Second Amendment didn’t allow for the ownership of cannons when it was adopted as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791. BIDEN REPEATS DEBUNKED SECOND AMENDMENT CANNON CLAIM, SAYS ‘NO AMENDMENT IS ABSOLUTE’ "The Second Amendment was never absolute," he said Monday, according to a White House transcript. "You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed. You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons." President Joe Biden speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on May 4, 2022. Ting Shen/Bloomberg via Getty Images Biden has repeated the claim at least five times during his presidency, despite it earning him "Four Pinocchios" from the Washington Post in 2021 and a "False" label from Politifact on three separate occasions dating back to May 2020. Biden made the claim again just last week after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. "The Second Amendment is not absolute," he said during a signing of his police reform executive order. "When it was passed, you couldn’t own a — you couldn’t own a cannon, you couldn’t own certain kinds of weapons. It’s just — there’s always been limitations." President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden attend Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Uvalde, Texas, on May 29, 2022. Mandel Ngan/AFP via Getty Images "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own," he said in June 2021, White House transcripts show. "You couldn’t buy a cannon." The Second Amendment as it is written does not limit who can "keep and bear arms" or what kind of arms people can keep and bear. Federal gun regulation didn’t come until 1934, decades after the Second Amendment was introduced, according to Politifact. The Constitution does, however, give Congress the power to "grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal," which were government licenses that allowed civilians to attack and detain vessels of countries at war with the U.S., The Washington Post pointed out in 2021. "Individuals who were given these waivers and owned warships obviously also obtained cannons for use in battle," The Post reported at the time.
