Man building white supremacist community in Colorado mountains, had automatic weapons, FBI says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:13:18 GMT

A 41-year-old man facing a weapons charge in federal court is being held without bond after a judge ruled that he’s a flight risk and a community threat.Chad Edward Keith, who is charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, allegedly had ten firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at his Colorado Springs home, according to a criminal complaint against him.The complaint, filed by an FBI investigator assigned to a Joint Terrorism Task Force, claims that Keith is a white supremacist and a Nazi with plans of operating a “white private community” school for teenagers, on a 2.6-acre property he owns near Cotopaxi that would include “hard core weapons training” and an “anti-Semitic curriculum.”In 2003, Keith pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of possessing an unregistered firearm — a destructive device. He was sentenced to 48 months in prison.The current complaint is based, in part, on information from a paid FBI informant who met Keith in May 2022.Among the...

5 Napa, Sonoma, Bay Area wineries worth an all-day visit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:13:18 GMT

There was a time when winery visits consisted of sipping a flight in a crowded tasting room, then scurrying off to the next three or four wineries for a repeat experience. But these days, many wineries offer an entire array of temptations – from bocce courts and cabanas to food trucks, jeep tours, cave experiences and more – all designed to pair nicely with that bubbly, crisp sauv blanc or hearty zin, and encourage people to relax and spend the entire day at one winery.More and more vineyards now invite families to visit, touting their kid and dog-friendly grounds, complete with ice cream, wood-fired pizza and chicken feeding activities.Whether it’s doing vinyasa in the vines, sipping chardonnay atop the dusty seat of an all-terrain vehicle or riding horseback on secluded mountain trails, these experiences can all be found at wineries in Napa Valley, Sonoma, Livermore and the Santa Cruz Mountains.Bricoleur VineyardsTucked away on the outskirts of suburban Windsor, this winery is a s...

Review: ‘Diablo IV’ has the bones to be a never-ending story

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:13:18 GMT

No one ever finishes a video game anymore. The way projects are made and planned out, players can never be really done with an adventure. Games, especially those made by Blizzard, are entities that change and evolve over time. You don’t complete Blizzard games, you live with them for however long the content interests you or your wallet allows.That’s what fans will face with “Diablo IV.” It’s an enormous game that takes the franchise’s signature hack-and-slash dungeon dives and envisions them in an open world. The Sanctuary that players step into is expansive and traveling through it is seamless as players explore the continent through the campaign’s six chapters.THE STORY SO FAR …In a way, this entry is almost like a reboot. It starts 50 years after the explosive finale of “Diablo III,” and in a way, it serves as a clean slate telling a new chapter, one in which the title villain takes back seat to the new big bad — ...

Frontier Airlines hits turbulence, ranked last in U.S. amid rancor around flights

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:13:18 GMT

Denver-based Frontier Airlines has hit more turbulence for troubles that, despite relatively low fares, have shaken relations with travelers.A new analysis of the nation’s 10 major airlines ranked Frontier last, citing high rates of “bumping” passengers involuntarily off flights, customer complaints, and fees for bags and changed flights. This seventh-annual report found that all airlines deteriorated in their performance with overall complaints increasing in 2022 by 87%. But Frontier’s reported data from 2022 showed that company gate agents denied boarding for more than 6,000 passengers against their wishes, an average of more than 16 every day and roughly 1 out of every 3,752 travelers, according to the report by “The Points Guy,” a travel information website. And Frontier led also in the rate of complaints with 22.6 for every 100,000 travelers in 2022 — more than twice the number of complaints reported by Spirit, the second-to-last carrier in that category.Atlanta-based Delta Air...
