Dealing drugs isn’t funny. Calling a gator ‘El Chompo’ ... kinda is?

A New Jersey man proposed to his girlfriend at an indoor shooting range. Kara Crampton was at target practice Sunday at Reloaderz in Wayne when a target showed the message “Will you marry me?” with the option to shoot “YES” or “NO.” Crampton turned around to see her boyfriend, Jake Woodruff, on one knee holding a ring. She accepted his proposal, then made her answer official by putting three shots in the center of the “YES” target. (AP)

Police in Tulsa, Okla., are searching for a man who crashed his car into the glass doors of an adult store, then ran in to steal lingerie and sex toys.

The heist at Hustler Hollywood took place early Monday, when the store was closed, but was caught on video. Authorities said the man ran directly to one section to steal the items, valued at about $300 to $400. Police said the greater cost is likely the damage to the glass doors. (AP)

Three Pennsylvania men imprisoned on drug trafficking charges were keeping a 3-foot alligator as protection, WGAL-TV reported Monday. “As far as we can tell with these drug dealers, the alligator may have been the brains of the operation,” said Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan. The alligator was in the kitchen of a home where police found heroin, crack cocaine and thousands in cash.

They nicknamed the gator “El Chompo.” (EXPRESS)

page three The new Saxon blue sofa in Mount Vernon’s front parlor is a re-creation of one the Washingtons had in the 18th century.

GAVIN ASHWORTH

IT’S A GIRL!

Mount Vernon parlor reopens with a replica of Virginia’s first sofa VIRGINIA A recently discovered document shows that George and Martha Washington were the proud owners of a vibrant blue serpentineback sofa — the very first sofa, in fact, in Virginia.

A re-creation of this 18thcentury sofa is now a showpiece

of Mount Vernon’s front parlor, a room that reopened Saturday after being closed for more than a year of restoration.

“It was a real novelty back then,” says Susan Schoelwer, Mount Vernon’s senior curator.

“In today’s terms, you would say it was trending.”

The Washingtons received the sofa by way of friend and neighbor George William Fairfax, who moved to England in 1774. Unable to take his fashionable blue

on both seat and back, and fancy fringed and tasseled draperies.

The description of the suite came from a Fairfax family ledger that Mount Vernon bought at auction in 2013. It detailed the Fairfax purchase of the furniture in London and its shipment to Virginia in 1763. Although Mount Vernon curators knew a suite of furniture had been gifted to Washington, the ledger provided the first description of what it looked like.

Sofas were a big deal in the colonies. In England, sofa use dates back to the 1600s, but it was only around 1750 that they showed up in wealthier homes in South Carolina, Maryland and Philadelphia, Schoelwer says.

The Richmond zoo announced Saturday that a baby camel was born Feb. 7 to camel parents Walter and Mindy. The new addition is a female dromedary camel. In a Facebook post, the Metro Richmond Zoo reported that the baby is bonding with her mom and her new herd. The zoo is looking for suggestions for a name.

One commenter proposed the name ”Alexandra Camelton.” Others joked that the camel should be named “Wednesday,” in honor of Hump Day, a nickname for the middle of the week. (TWP)

The suite arrived at Mount Vernon during the Revolutionary War, Schoelwer says, and Martha Washington put the sofa, chairs and the matching draperies in the front parlor, dressing up the room where they entertained guests. Over the years, this furniture disappeared, as did any idea of what it looked like.

The calculus of cancellation It may be sure to thrill students, but calling a snow day is no picnic

In larger jurisdictions like Fairfax County, calling for school cancellations can be a tricky decision.

JAHI CHIKWENDIU (THE WASHIGTON POST)

REGION Announcing a snow day on Twitter is enough to catapult local government officials to the stuff of legend — by teenagers’ standards, anyway.

A few years back, students superimposed the face of a Fairfax County school board member on images of the Sistine Chapel and Mount Rushmore after he began tweeting school cancellations.

Similar tweets from Superintendent Steven L. Walts in Prince William County, Va., easily generate a couple thousand “likes” and comments that anoint him a “man of the people” and the “greatest superintendent in the country.”

Whether a school system decides to cancel or delay classes because of inclement weather — or remains open — opinions and irritation inevitably abound, especially when systems close and little snow or rain actually falls.

Some appreciate the caution, while others decry what they view as an unnecessary hassle.

With a winter storm warning blanketing much of the D.C. region for today amid predictions of a perilous brew of snow and ice, the decision to cancel classes is a little easier for school leaders.

But an elaborate calculus lies behind each call to close schools in large systems with sprawling geographies. It involves monitoring multiple weather forecasts, testing road conditions — and

very early mornings.

“Second-guessing weather decisions is Washington’s favorite sport,” said Matthew Guilfoyle, an associate superintendent in Prince William County. “It’s just really important folks understand that the goal is student safety.”

It’s easy to call classes off when 6 to 12 inches of snow is expected to fall, he said. But it becomes far dicier when temperatures hover above freezing but could drop and turn rainslickened roads icy. Elevation in different parts of Prince William County can differ by hundreds of feet, Guilfoyle said, so poor conditions in one neighborhood may not be evident in another.

When inclement weather is forecast in Loudoun County, Va., a team of at least 10 people start assessing roads at 3 a.m.

Storm to wallop region For only the second time this year, a winter storm warning covers much of the D.C. region today due to the likelihood of a hazardous combination of snow and ice.

Temperatures in the upper 20s to around 30 in the morning lift to the low to mid-30s during the afternoon. Total accumulation of snow and sleet should be around 2 to 5 inches, but heavier amounts are likely to the northwest. (TWP)

for the school system, spanning the mountains in the west to the suburbs in the east, said Kevin L. Lewis, assistant superintendent for support services.

During a recent two-hour delay to the start of classes in Fairfax, which has the largest school

system in Virginia, parts of the county experienced temperatures in the mid-30s while patches of ice coated other neighborhoods, said Jeffrey Platenberg, assistant superintendent for facilities and transportation services.

Before closing the school system, Platenberg consults local television meteorologists, the National Weather Service and agencies charged with salting and clearing roads.

A few dozen drivers in the county check roads overnight.

And on days schools close, employees shovel parking lots and prepare campuses for the next day.

“When people have a day off,” he said, “we don’t.”

As of Express’ deadline, the majority of school districts in the region had cancelled classes.

SIGNS OF GROWTH IN FAIRFAX

The proposed budget for Fairfax County unveiled Tuesday, reflecting a slow, tentative return to economic stability, with the real estate property tax rate unchanged and modest pay raises for county employees. After the 2008 Great Recession and later federal spending cuts left the Washington region reeling, Virginia’s largest jurisdiction has finally begun to see signs of growth, County Executive Bryan J. Hill said during a budget presentation to Fairfax’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. (TWP)

Maryland General Assembly re-elects Nancy Kopp as treasurer

Former NBA player Glen “Big Baby” Davis has agreed to pay $15,000 to avoid jail time on drug charges. The forward had faced up to five years in jail. He was arrested at an Aberdeen, Md., hotel with 126 grams of marijuana and a briefcase containing $92,000 last February, and indicted on seven counts of drug possession and distribution. Davis’ attorney Brandon Mead says prosecutors will dismiss the charges after the 33-year-old pays the fine. Mead says nothing indicates Davis was selling drugs. (AP) BALTIMORE

Monsanto says it believes the complaint is without merit. The company stopped producing PCBs over 40 years ago. (AP)

Nina Olson, an independent official within the IRS, describes an agency suffering “a cycle of frustration” in her latest report.

fun + games

President Trump’s partial government shutdown is over, but the haunting effects are not. Perhaps nowhere is that demonstrated more than in the Internal Revenue Service, one agency that affects all Americans.

Listen to the words of National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson, an independent official within the IRS. Her latest report describes an agency with a “shocking” level of service, suffering a “cycle of frustration,” one beset with long-standing problems made worse by the 35-day shutdown.

She described an agency so damaged that taxpayer trust and confidence in our tax system has been crippled.

“It is irresponsible for an agency that touches all aspects of people’s lives to be underfunded, understaffed, and at the mercy of shutdowns,” she

wrote. “It is making strategic decisions that ultimately burden taxpayers, increase its own rework, and create distance and distrust between taxpayers and the tax agency.”

The report provided a slew of statistics demonstrating the depth of the problem. For the last week of the shutdown, ending Jan. 26, only 12.8 percent of taxpayer calls regarding installment agreements and balance due questions were answered. Those that were answered waited 93 minutes.

Metrics like these “translate into real harm to real taxpayers,” Olson said. “And they represent increased rework for the IRS downstream, at a time when the IRS is already resource challenged.”

IRS officials responded with a statement that said the agency “successfully reopened operations following the shutdown, and the agency is seeing a good start to the 2019 filing season.

We are continuing to assess the

impact of the shutdown … and remain proud of the many IRS employees who have risen to the resulting challenges.”

The full impact of the shutdown won’t be known for “months, and even years, down the road,” Olson predicted.

National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) President Tony Reardon said that “in some cases, employees are being asked to work overtime specifically to get the agency caught up. Orientation for new hires and refresher training for employees is also behind schedule in some areas. These are all signs of an agency still grappling with a record fiveweek shutdown on the eve of a tax filing season that was already going to be challenging because of the new tax law.”

Because of the shutdown, employees estimate “it may take them almost a year to catch up, but many taxpayers cannot wait that long because they need their responses” by April 15, when 2018 taxes are due, said David Carron, a revenue agent and president of NTEU Chapter 6 covering Louisiana and Arkansas. “We would relate this to an assembly line that has been stopped for over a month, but the same amount of products have to be produced” by then.

Trump: Wall legal fight is ‘open and closed case’

BIRDS BOUNCE BACK

Ghost town is ideal home for rare owls

POLITICS President Trump on Tuesday expressed confidence that he would prevail in a lawsuit filed by 16 states seeking to overturn his declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the states are led by “mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left.”

Trump told reporters Tuesday that he had an “absolute right” to declare an emergency and said that it is an “open and closed case” that he can use the declaration to circumvent Congress to fund long-sought barriers at the border.

Trump is seeking to spend roughly $8 billion on border barrier construction, only about $1.4 billion of which has been approved by Congress. He plans to tap money from other funds, including drug-interdiction and military construction projects.

The lawsuit filed Monday argues that the president’s decision to declare a national emergency is unconstitutional. It seeks a preliminary injunction that would prevent Trump from acting on his declaration while the case plays out in the courts.

It was brought by 16 states, all of which have Democratic governors, except for Maryland. In addition to Maryland, the states in the suit are California, Colorado,

Virginia.

The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, a San Francisco-based court whose judges have ruled against an array of other Trump administration policies, including on immigration and the environment. The court is part of the 9th Circuit.

Last week, Trump acknowledged the possibility that lower courts could rule against him on the emergency declaration, but he expressed hope that he would prevail in the Supreme Court.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump was more confident. He said, “I think in the end, we’re going to be very successful with the lawsuit.”

Researchers have found a group of rare burrowing owls thriving in a nature preserve near Los Angeles International Airport.

The 10 burrowing owls are the most to be seen at LAX Dunes Preserve in 40 years. Scientists attribute the return of the migratory owls to ongoing restoration work at the 300-acre preserve that used to be the beachfront community of Surfridge.

The neighborhoods disappeared decades ago as the jet age boomed.

NATIONAL SECURITY Several current and former Trump administration appointees promoted the sale of nuclear power plants to Saudi Arabia despite repeated objections from members of the National Security Council and other senior White House officials, according to a new report from congressional Democrats.

The officials who objected included White House lawyers and H.R. McMaster, then the chief of the National Security Council, according to the report, which cited documents obtained by the committee and accounts of unnamed whistleblowers.

The officials called for a halt in the nuclear sales discussions in 2017, citing potential conflicts of interest, national security risks and legal hurdles.

But the effort to promote nuclear sales persisted, led by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who served briefly as President Trump’s national security adviser, and more recently by Energy Secretary Rick Perry.

The possible nuclear power sale was discussed in the Oval Office

as recently as last week.

Details about these internal White House battles are contained in a 24-page report released Tuesday morning by House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md. It said the unnamed whistleblowers inside the White House came forward because they were distressed at the continued effort to sell the power plants. Committee Republicans said Tuesday they were not included in drafting the report and had not received a copy until Monday night.

“This is a delicate and nuanced issue that Chairman Cummings is approaching without bipartisan input and with far-flung requests for information,” said Charli Huddleston, a spokeswoman for Republicans on the committee.

The report’s release comes as Saudi-U.S. relations reach a particularly difficult moment.

Following the death of Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi, Congress has expressed reluctance to continue with a business-as-usual relationship with Riyadh. The Trump White House has balked at endorsing intelligence reports suggesting that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the killing.

The Cummings report notes

that one of the power plant manufacturers that could benefit from a nuclear deal, Westinghouse Electric, is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management, the company that provided financial relief to the family of Jared Kushner, the president’s son-inlaw and senior adviser. Brookfield Asset Management took a 99-year lease on the family’s deeply indebted New York City property at 666 Fifth Avenue.

“Multiple whistleblowers came forward to warn about efforts

inside the White House to rush the transfer of highly sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in potential violation of the Atomic Energy Act and without review by Congress as required by law — efforts that may be ongoing to this day,” the report says.

The report, which focuses on the first three months of the Trump presidency, may have special relevance this week as Kushner prepares for a trip to the Middle East. TOM HAMBURGER AND STEVEN MUFSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

FDA: No proof ‘young blood’ infusions work HEALTH Federal health regulators on Tuesday warned consumers against controversial “young blood” treatments — plasma infusions from young donors marketed for conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and posttraumatic stress disorder.

“There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product,” Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, and Peter Marks, director of the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.

“Simply put,” they added, “we’re concerned that some patients are being preyed upon by unscrupulous actors touting treatments of plasma from young donors as cures and remedies.”

Plasma contains proteins that help blood to clot. It’s used to replace low levels of blood proteins in a range of medical situations. For example, some patients with liver disease are unable to make the proteins required for blood to clot.

Clinics have been springing up that offer young-donor plasma infusions as a rejuvenating, “antiaging” therapy. One company is Ambrosia, a startup that sells infusions costing $8,000 or $12,000. The treatments are not covered by insurance.

Terror watchlist shared

Government discloses that 1,441 private entities can access list of suspicious persons

WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWERPOST

Sanders joins crowded race for president SPENCER PLATT (GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONAL SECURITY The federal government has acknowledged that it shares its terrorist watchlist with more than 1,400 private entities, including hospitals and universities, prompting concerns from civil libertarians that those mistakenly placed on the list could face a wide variety of hassles in their daily lives.

The government’s admission that it shares the list so broadly comes after years of insistence that the list is generally not shared with the private sector.

Gadeir Abbas, a lawyer with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has filed a constitutional challenge to the government’s use of the watchlist, called the government’s admission shocking.

“We’ve always suspected there was private-sector dissemination of the terror watchlist, but we had no idea the breadth of the dissemination would be so large,” Abbas said.

The watchlist is supposed to include only those who are known or suspected terrorists, but it contains hundreds of thousands of names.

The government’s no-fly list is culled from a small subset of the watchlist. Critics say the list is wildly overbroad and mismanaged, and that large numbers of people wrongly included on the list suffer routine difficulties because of their inclusion.

kept secret by the government, but it acknowledged in an earlier lawsuit that it adds hundreds of thousands of names to the list every year. It also emphasized that names are routinely removed from the list.

The government’s admission comes in a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in Alexandria by Muslims who say they regularly experience difficulties in travel, financial transactions and interactions with law enforcement because they have been wrongly added to the list.

Timothy Groh, deputy director of operations for the Terrorist Screening Center, filed a written statement this month acknowledging that 1,441 private entities

have received permission to access the watchlist.

Groh said those private entities must be in some way connected to the criminal justice system.

He cited police forces at private universities, hospital security staff and private correctional facilities as examples.

Abbas said now that the government has disclosed how many private entities receive access to the Terrorist Screening Database, the official name of the watchlist, it needs to explain exactly which private entities are receiving it and what they’re doing with it.

He has asked a judge to require the government to be more specific. A hearing is scheduled

for Friday.

It is not clear what restrictions are placed on how private institutions use the list. The FBI did not respond to emails and phone calls seeking comment.

Hugh Handeyside, an attorney with the ACLU’s National Security project, said the government’s disclosure “corroborates what we’ve long suspected.” He said more information is needed to know how private entities use the information.

“The likelihood of stigma or adverse consequences is increased” every time the government shares the list with a private organization, a foreign government or any other agency, he said. MATTHEW BARAKAT (AP)

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, whose 2016 presidential campaign grew from a left-wing insurgency to a force that reshaped the Democratic Party, announced Tuesday that he will seek its nomination for president again in 2020.

The senator, an independent, cited health care, climate change, student debt, the “demonization” of undocumented immigrants, income inequality, gun violence and the myriad problems of America’s needy as propelling him into his second presidential contest.

Asked on “CBS This Morning” how this bid would differ from his first run, Sanders said, “We’re gonna win.” During an earlier interview with Vermont Public Radio, Sanders called President Trump “an embarrassment to our country.”

“I think he is a pathological liar,” Sanders said. “I also think he is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, somebody who is gaining cheap political points by trying to pick on minorities, often undocumented immigrants.”

Sanders, 77, enters the race with the biggest social media following — and biggest mailing list — of any candidate for the Democratic nomination. His decision came after a number of groups that spun out from his 2016 run held house parties to mobilize his old supporters, and to find new ones. DAVID WEIGEL

NEW LEADER

Now it’s Harper’s turn Machado agrees to $300M deal with Padres, putting the focus on the ex-Nats star MLB For more than three months they have circled each other, 26-year-old superstars with the same objective: sign a massive, standard-setting free agent contract. Manny Machado and Bryce Harper are friends, but this winter they were also competitors, as their respective agents worked the markets with one eye on the other in a high-stakes game of chicken, with the winner the man who emerges with the bigger deal.

Now that Machado has come off the board, having reportedly agreed with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday to a 10-year, $300 million contract, the final say will belong to Harper and agent Scott Boras. There is every reason to think their answer, as teams prepare for their first exhibition games this week, is coming soon.

The Padres, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2006 and lost 96 games last season, were nevertheless a steady suitor this offseason for Machado, who finished 2018 with the L.A. Dodgers after six-plus seasons with Baltimore.

Boasting the game’s best farm

system, with no fewer than 10 of baseball’s top 100 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline, the Padres already had a glowing future. But they saw an opening to strike now in both the NL West and their own metropolitan area, where the departure of the NFL’s Chargers left them as the only major sports franchise in town.

Machado’s deal reportedly contains a player opt-out clause after five years, which would let him return to free agency at the end of 2023. He had expressed a preference to play shortstop in his dealings with prospective teams, but will likely be a third baseman in San Diego. Fernando Tatis Jr., the No. 2-ranked prospect in baseball, is San Diego’s shortstop of the future.

The Chicago White Sox appear to have been runners-up for Machado, reportedly offering $250 million over eight years, but with options and incentives that could have boosted the payout to $350 million.

The Padres had also shown interest in Harper, the former Nationals right fielder, meeting with him and his representatives

The outfielder’s extension signed with the Miami Marlins in 2014 remains the largest overall contract.

He was traded to the Yankees in December 2017.

in January in Harper’s hometown of Las Vegas.

With many of baseball’s traditional biggest spenders — the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Dodgers and Chicago Cubs — mainly staying out of the Machado/Harper sweepstakes, their markets were largely

confined to the same group of teams: the Padres, White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies and, at least in the case of Harper, the Nationals and San Francisco Giants.

As a result, Harper’s ultimate landing spot is likely to come out of that group, and it is the Phillies — whose owner, John Middleton, famously declared in November his willingness to be “a little stupid” with his spending this winter — who have been widely viewed for weeks as Harper’s likeliest destination.

Phillies GM Matt Klentak told reporters Tuesday that the reported terms of the Machado deal “will exceed our valuations,” adding that “sometimes you have to be willing to walk away.” But he did not pull his team out of the Harper sweepstakes.

Machado, drafted third overall by the Orioles in 2010, two spots behind Harper, has been one of baseball’s best all-around players since debuting at Camden Yards on Aug. 9, 2012, amassing 175 homers, four All-Star r Game appearances and two Gold d Gloves (both as a third baseman).

Ex-gymnast aims to save organization USA Gymnastics, struggling to survive as the sport’s governing body in the wake of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal, turned to a former gymnast and NBA marketing vice president for help Tuesday. Li Li Leung, 45, was named president and chief executive officer, becoming the group’s fourth leader in two years. One of her priorities — with the Tokyo Games less than 18 months away — will be to demonstrate to the United States Olympic Committee that the organization deserves to remain the sport’s governing body.

“It really broke my heart to see where the sport was,” said Leung, who was a gymnast at the University of Michigan and later was a coach.

“Our gymnasts deserve tter. (AP/TWP) better.”

MARYLAND

Terrapins find quarterback help New Maryland coach Michael Locksley has been pursuing quarterback help, and now he has former Virginia Tech passer Josh Jackson. He said Monday night that he will transfer to Maryland, and because he is graduating this spring, he’ll be eligible immediately. Jackson started as a redshirt freshman but missed most of his sophomore season last year after fracturing his left fibula in September. He set Virginia Tech freshman records for passing yards (2,911) and TDs (20) in 2017. Maryland struggled at quarterback last season with Kasim Hill, who is injured, and Tyrrell Pigrome, who returns. The Terrapins also recently added Lance LeGendre, a four-star recruit from New Orleans. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Ovi nets 2 on power play as club goes to 2-2 on trip

Don Newcombe, a star for the Dodgers who helped integrate the majors and whose struggle with alcoholism led him to become one of the first ex-players to lead a team’s substance abuse program, died Tuesday at 92. He was major league baseball’s first successful black starting pitcher: He broke in with Brooklyn in 1949 and went 17-8 to win the Rookie of the Year award and help the Dodgers win the National League pennant. His greatest year was 1956, when he went 27-7 and won both the Cy Young Award, then given to only one pitcher for both leagues, and the NL’s MVP award. (AP/TWP)

Alex Ovechkin’s two power-play goals Monday night lifted the Capitals to a 3-2 victory in Los Angeles, evening their record at 2-2 on their six-game trip, which continues Thursday in Toronto.

It was the first time in 30 games that Washington got more than one power-play goal. Ovechkin, 33, leads the NHL with 42 goals in 60 games, on pace to score at least 50 for the eighth time. He is on his best goal-scoring pace since he had 56 in 2008-09. Pheonix Copley allowed two third-period goals but had 26 saves as the Capitals got their first victory at Staples Center since 2005.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Calculation blurs Florida Georgia Line

Luke Combs quickly emerged as one of the country scene’s most authentic icons MUSIC About three years ago, songwriter Jonathan Singleton was at a bar in Nashville when a singer he didn’t recognize took the stage. Suddenly, the crowd started buzzing. So Singleton caught the singer’s name and then discreetly took out his phone to Google: Who is “Luke Combs”?

Singleton had no idea that soon it would be tough to find a country music listener who didn’t know the answer. But at that moment, as he heard Combs’ powerhouse voice belt out a song called “Hurricane,” he knew that he wanted to work with the guy. A few months later, Singleton signed Combs to a publishing deal with Big Machine Music. And “Hurricane” Hurricane would Hu

eventually go triple platinum.

Combs, 28, has shot to stardom so quickly that it’s startling to almost everyone, including him.

After he landed a record deal with Sony Music’s Columbia Nashville in fall 2016, his first four singles reached No. 1 on the radio, with the fifth (“Beautiful Crazy”) currently sitting at No. 2 on Billboard’s country chart.

His debut record, “This One’s for You,” was the highest-selling country album of 2018.

“People always ask me, ‘What’s the secret?’ ” Combs says, laughing. “If I knew what it was, I would be bottling it and selling it instead of what I’m doing now.”

Some point to Combs’ traditional ’90s country-influenced sound, which, combined with

modern production, struck a chord. Rob Williford, Combs’ bandleader, has another theory.

“I genuinely think for him, it’s nothing but the lack of trying to have a brand,” he says. “It’s 100 percent authentic. You can’t fool people when it comes to that.”

A North Carolina native, Combs started out playing gigs at the same bar where he worked in Boone, N.C., and persuaded

“People always ask me, ‘What’s the secret?’ If I knew what it was, I would be bottling it and selling it.”

Taking a shortcut to stardom

his boss to charge $1 a ticket.

He made $200 one night, and it dawned on him that maybe he could earn a living playing music.

But even as Combs has gone from playing for 250 people in bars to selling out 12,500-seat arenas, he’s determined not to forget his working-class roots.

His fans still see the guy with a beard and black shirt and hat and boots, dressed very similarly to them. Singleton says they call those fans “Luke-alikes.”

“When those fans are there, they see themselves up there,” says Ray Fulcher, who co-wrote eight songs on Combs’ debut album. He adds that Combs often tells his audience, “If I can do this, you can literally do whatever your dream is.”

“He really believes s that. …

When he says it, the resonance esonance ” EMILY YAHR really strikes people.”

Florida Georgia Line protests a lot on the album “Can’t Say I Ain’t Country,” which dropped Friday. “You can say that I talk and I dress all funny, but you can’t say I ain’t country,” Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley sing on the title track. But this is the duo who teamed up with Bebe Rexha, the Backstreet Boys and Nelly, and walking away from that seems a bit calculated. The record is well-crafted, especially when it adopts bits of alt-folk in “Simple.” Yet the current single, “Y’all Boys,” hammers home the Florida Georgia Line talking points, ribbing people who lock their doors and declaring, “You mess with one of us, you get us all boys.” It doesn’t sound organic. It sounds testmarketed. GLENN GAMBOA (TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE VIA AP)

‘Lorena’ gets to the heart of a scandal TV REVIEW There’s a race on to reinterpret recent history, particularly sensational crime cases, trials and other tabloid tragedies, to see how they look in a more modern context. In both television and film, you can achieve this through dramatization or documentary or some combination of the two. The results are often remarkable and unexpectedly cathartic.

Which brings us to Lorena Bobbitt, the subject of a naturally

fascinating but slightly overindulged and unevenly paced documentary series that began streaming Friday on Amazon Prime. (Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos owns Express.)

“Lorena,” directed by Joshua Rofe (co-produced by Jordan Peele, among others), is a thorough, four-hour look back at the early morning of June 23, 1993, when Bobbitt, then 22, in what a jury would agree was a moment of temporary insanity, took a knife from the kitchen of her Manassas, Va., apartment and cut off the penis of her husband, John Wayne Bobbitt, then 26, while he slept in their bedroom.

Forgotten in the chaos was a quiet but steady chorus of women’s rights advocates who immediately saw in Lorena the telltale signs of a battered wife: traumatized, desperate, pushed to an extreme. As the film makes clear, American society lacked

MANDY MOORE, speaking on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast about her former marriage to Ryan Adams, who is facing several sexual misconduct allegations

both the maturity and empathy to see the case objectively.

Layer by layer — including present-day interviews with Lorena and John — “Lorena” asks us to stop with the jokes already and listen.

“SOUND THE ALARM.” @HIIMCHARLOTTE, reacting to a report from The Sun claiming that former boy band The Jonas Brothers will be reuniting. The group — made up of siblings, from left, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas — achieved widespread success in the early 2000s with its second and third albums, as well as the Disney Channel movie “Camp Rock.” The trio infamously broke up in 2013 after an argument about their musical direction derailed plans for a fifth full-length album and tour. Nick and Joe have gone on to have successful solo musical careers.

BABIES

What gift does a royal baby actually need?

Good thing he had extra comp tickets Dave Chappelle surprised a couple on Thursday with tickets to his Charlotte, N.C., show after they were scammed, according to People. The couple had bought tickets on Craigslist for $500 but did not receive them. They shared their story with a local news outlet, which then tipped off Chappelle to the incident. The comedian hand-delivered tickets to the couple before the show. (EXPRESS)

Meghan Markle flew to New York City on Friday to spend time with friends before giving birth to her first child with Prince Harry this spring, according to Harper’s Bazaar. The outlet reported that Markle is staying for five nights in the city to see loved ones, who allegedly threw the duchess a baby shower on Tuesday. This marked Markle’s first time in New York since she wed Prince Harry last May. “This will be the last time a lot of them will see Meg until after the baby is born so it’s nice to share precious moments,” a source close to Markle told Harper’s.

“The trip is a lovely chance to catch up with friends and spend time in a city she loves.” (EXPRESS)
