WASHINGTON — 

President Trump will deliver the State of the Union to a joint session of Congress on Feb. 4.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to the president Friday formally inviting him to deliver the address at the U.S. Capitol.

“In the spirit of respecting our Constitution, I invite you to deliver your State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress,” Pelosi wrote.

Trump has accepted the invitation, said White House spokesman Hogan Gidley.

Pelosi extended the invitation to Trump to make the annual address just two days after the House adopted two articles of impeachment against Trump.

A date for the Senate impeachment trial has not yet been set.

WASHINGTON — 

President Trump signed two behemoth spending packages totaling $1.4 trillion on Friday night, preventing another year-end government shutdown with an hour and a half to spare.

The existing stopgap funding law was set to expire at midnight Eastern time.

Unlike the 35-day shutdown that ended in January, another lapse would have affected every federal agency. The 12 spending bills for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2020, were bundled into two separate packages, one carrying security-related measures and another containing domestic programs and foreign aid as well as a collection of tax breaks, healthcare legislation and more.

The president also signed the fiscal 2020 defense authorization bill at an event at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on Friday night. That measure includes Trump’s prized provisions establishing a new Space Force branch of the U.S. military, as well as up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers.

Trump’s signatures on the fiscal 2020 spending bills end months of back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats over how best to divvy up this year’s discretionary funding and solve problematic issues such as border wall spending — a topic many feared could lead to another shutdown.

The seemingly endless stalemate over the proposed wall ended just over a week ago when appropriators reached agreement to spend $1.375 billion on border barrier construction during fiscal 2020, keeping funding level with the previous fiscal year.

Negotiators left intact the Trump administration’s ability to reprogram funding from certain accounts to the border wall, but didn’t backfill $3.6 billion the White House diverted from military construction projects to barrier construction.

Neither side was particularly happy with the compromise; in fact, House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairwoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Downey) voted against her own bill. But bipartisan majorities in both chambers were willing to accept the tradeoffs in the end, brushing off critiques about a rushed process and essentially just breaking one giant omnibus package into two pieces.

Congress will have about a month off from budget and appropriations before early February when the Trump administration sends its fiscal 2021 budget request to Capitol Hill and the entire process begins anew.

It’s unclear when the Senate’s impeachment trial will begin, how long it will take or how much it will affect the election-year budget cycle. But appropriators already have topline budget numbers for next year in place so they’ll be able to at least avoid the complications that marked the fiscal 2020 process, when spending allocations weren’t determined until July.

Jane Lynch has a message for Elizabeth Warren: “Class warfare is ugly.”

The actress took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to stand up for the rights of “billionaires in wine caves,” responding to criticism the Massachusetts senator made against South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg during Thursday’s Democratic debate.

“Billionaires in wine caves have as much right to say who gets to be president as waitresses in diners and plumbers in my bathroom,” tweeted Lynch.

Earlier in the day, Lynch — a Buttigieg donor — had tweeted comments in support of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and wondered out loud, “Why haven’t I ever been invited to party in a wine cave?”

During the debates Warren had called out Buttigieg for a lavish fundraiser he participated in at a winery in Napa Valley.

“The mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900-a-bottle wine,” said Warren. “Think about who comes to that. He had promised that every fundraiser he would do would be open-door, but this one was closed-door. We made the decision years ago that rich people in smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States.

“Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States.”

Buttigieg responded by noting that he was the only candidate on the debate stage who wasn’t a millionaire or billionaire.

“This is the problem with issuing purity tests that you yourself cannot pass,” he said.

Lynch has hosted events for Buttigieg and has donated to his campaign.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg came under attack at Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate at Loyola Marymount University as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren seized on Buttigieg’s recent appearance at an opulent Napa fundraiser to jab at his high-dollar fundraising.

RUTHERFORD, Calif.  — 

The California winemakers who hosted a dinner at a “wine cave” for Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg are defending the fundraising event.

Buttigieg’s political rivals used the fundraiser to criticize the mayor of South Bend, Ind., for soliciting campaign contributions from wealthy donors at Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate.

Craig and Kathryn Hall, who own the Hall Rutherford winery in Napa Valley, said Friday that they took issue with how their wine cave has been portrayed in the media.

“It seems someone’s intentionally trying to create a different image than the reality. And that’s unfortunate,” Craig Hall said.

A dispute over big-dollar donors and fundraising between Buttigieg and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren erupted on the debate stage.

Warren described a lavish Buttigieg fundraiser featuring $900 bottles of wine and crystal chandeliers, saying that, unlike the South Bend mayor, “I do not sell access to my time.”

“Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States,” she added.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg came under attack at Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate at Loyola Marymount University as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren seized on Buttigieg’s recent appearance at an opulent Napa fundraiser to jab at his high-dollar fundraising.

Warren for weeks has pushed Buttigieg to open his fundraisers and be more transparent about donors. His campaign has said he doesn’t solely rely on big-dollar donations and has received an outpouring of small donations averaging $32 during the last three-month reporting period.

Buttigieg, who has surged into the top tier of the Democratic Party’s 2020 primary in part because of his fundraising success, did not back down Thursday, saying a maximum donation from Warren herself wouldn’t “pollute my campaign.”

“We need to defeat Donald Trump,” he said, noting that Trump’s reelection campaign has already accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars. “We shouldn’t try to do it with one hand tied behind our back.”

The Halls said wine caves are common at wineries in Napa Valley and other wine-growing regions because they’re good for storing wine at cool temperatures.

They also said it’s misleading to say the winery sells $900 bottles of wine. Its most expensive wine costs about $350 a bottle, though they sell an extra large bottle — equivalent to four standard-size bottles — for about $900. And they did not serve the most expensive wine at the Buttigieg event, they added.

Craig Hall said he didn’t know if any billionaires attended the fundraiser.

“I don’t think anyone came with the expectation that they were going to become Pete’s good buddy for some personal purpose,” Craig Hall said.

Robert Glenn “Junior” Johnson, the moonshine runner turned NASCAR driver described as “The Last American Hero” by author Tom Wolfe in a 1965 article for Esquire, died Friday. He was 88.

NASCAR announced the death of Johnson, the winner of 50 races as a driver and 132 as an owner. He was a member of the inaugural class inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010.

“From his early days running moonshine through the end of his life, Junior wholly embodied the NASCAR spirit,” NASCAR Chairman Jim France said in a statement. “He was an inaugural NASCAR Hall of Famer, a nod to an extraordinary career as both a driver and team owner. Between his on-track accomplishments and his introduction of (sponsor) Winston to the sport, few have contributed to the success of NASCAR as Junior has.

“The entire NASCAR family is saddened by the loss of a true giant of our sport, and we offer our deepest condolences to Junior’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

From North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, Johnson was named one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers in 1998 after a 14-year career that ended in 1966 and included a win in the 1960 Daytona 500. He honed his driving skills running moonshine through the North Carolina hills, a crime for which he received a federal conviction in 1956 and a full presidential pardon in 1986 from President Ronald Reagan.

His was first immortalized by Wolfe in 1965 and later in a 1973 movie adaptation starring Jeff Bridges.

As a car owner for drivers that included Darrell Waltrip, Cale Yarborough, Bill Elliott and Terry Labonte, Johnson claimed six Cup championships. His last race win as an owner was the 1994 Southern 500 with Elliott.

Waltrip said he grew up only dreaming of one day meeting Johnson, but surpassed that by getting to drive for his hero.

“He became my boss and made me a champion, I loved that man, God Bless Jr and his family. You were the greatest!” Waltrip said on Twitter.

Johnson also is credited with bringing the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company to NASCAR, which then led to Winston sponsoring its premier series from 1971-2003.

“The Last American Hero is gone and so leaves a huge dent in NASCAR racing. Junior Johnson was one of American sports’ great characters and one of the best racer and car owners ever. His mountain man drawl and tricks were legendary,” former race promoter Humpy Wheeler said. “He’ll go down as one of racing’s great ticket sellers.“

Johnson is credited with discovering drafting — using the slipstream of the car in front of you on the track to keep up or slingshot past. Using that maneuver, he won the 1960 Daytona 500, outrunning several cars that were about 10 mph faster.

As a young man, Johnson built a reputation as a moonshiner who could outrun the law on the mountain roads like no one else. He’s credited with inventing the Bootleg Turn, a maneuver that spins the car into a quick 180-degree turn and sends it speeding off in the opposite direction.

Johnson began driving at age 8, long before he had a license.

“I didn’t need one anyway,“ he often said with a laugh. “They weren’t going to catch me.“

At 24, Johnson turned that talent to racing and became a superstar in NASCAR in the 1950s and 1960s. He walked away from the sport in 1996 to concentrate on his other businesses, including a line of fried pork skins and country ham.

“I had done just about everything in racing that I wanted to do,“ Johnson said in an interview with The Associated Press before driving the pace car for the start of the 2008 Daytona 500, the 50th running of that event. “I do miss being in the garage sometimes, but I just wasn’t excited about going racing anymore.“

Johnson was never caught on the roads during his moonshining days, but he was arrested by federal authorities in 1956 when he was caught working at his father’s still. He was sentenced to 20 months but was released after 11 months in federal prison in Chillicothe, Ohio.

Although a lifelong Democrat, Johnson was pardoned by Reagan. In his later years, Johnson often said that the pardon in December 1986 was “the greatest thing in my life.“

Johnson is survived by wife Lisa, daughter Meredith and son Robert Glenn Johnson III.

Dustin Crum passed for 289 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 147 yards and the clinching score in Frisco, Texas, to help Kent State beat Utah State 51-41 on Friday night in the Frisco Bowl for the Golden Flashes’ first bowl victory.

Kent State (7-6) closed with four straight wins to finish with a winning record for the first time since 2012.

“I’m just so happy for the university,” said Crum, who also was the Golden Flashes’ leading rusher during the season. “We weren’t supposed to be here, but here we are.”

Matthew Trickett kicked five field goals to set a Kent State game record.

“I love these boys,” said second-year coach Sean Lewis, whose first Golden Flashes team finished 2-10. “Just tremendous resolve by them. It was a testament to their character.”

Crum threw a 78-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah McKoy down the right sideline on Kent State’s third play from scrimmage. Crum flipped a one-yard scoring pass to Antwan Dixon with 9:36 to play to put the Golden Flashes ahead for good, then scored with 1:56 left on a fourth-and-one run from the four-yard line.

Jordan Love passed for 308 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Siaosi Mariner, in his final game for Utah State (7-6). The junior announced last week that he will bypass his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Deven Thompkins scored on a 57-yard run and a 17-yard reception for the Aggies.

Bahamas Bowl

Jaret Patterson ran for 173 yards and two touchdowns, Kyle Vantrease passed for a touchdown and ran for another, and Buffalo got the first bowl win in school history, beating Charlotte 31-9 in Nassau, Bahamas.

Patterson had 32 carries for the Bulls (8-5), who were winless in three previous bowl appearances. He finished the year with a slew of school single-season records, including 330 carries, 1,799 yards and 19 rushing touchdowns.

Antonio Nunn caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Vantrease on the first Buffalo drive to open the scoring, and Vantrease capped a marathon 15-play, 74-yard, 8½-minute drive by plunging in from the one with 3:33 left in the half to push the Bulls’ lead to 14-0.

Patterson scored on a six-yard run midway through the third quarter to make it 24-0, then sealed the win with a 10-yard touchdown rush late to cap a 16-play scoring drive.

Victor Tucker caught a 51-yard catch-and-run touchdown pass from Chris Reynolds late in the third quarter for Charlotte (7-6), which saw its five-game winning streak end. Charlotte was in a bowl game for the first time.

Reynolds completed 15 of 24 passes for 203 yards.

The bowl game was the first of 40 to be played this season.

RAMONA, Calif. — 

Authorities have extradited a 59-year-old man who they say fled to Mexico after killing two members of a family and wounding two other men in a shooting at a 4-year-old’s birthday party more than 32 years ago, San Diego County sheriff’s officials said Friday.

Jose Angel Solorio, 27 at the time of the shooting, is suspected of killing German Aviles, 26, and Ventura Aviles, 21, and wounding Jose Aviles and Carlos Holgin at the party in the rural town of Ramona in 1987, Sheriff’s Homicide Lt. Michael Blevins said.

Solorio fled to Mexico after the shooting and was found by authorities there in March, Blevins said in a statement. Federal law enforcement agents worked with Mexican officials to arrest Solorio and eventually extradite him to the U.S.

On Friday, Solorio was brought to San Diego and turned over to Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives, Blevins said.

Jail records showed he was booked into custody on two counts each of murder and attempted murder. Solorio, who turns 60 on Sunday, was being held without bail.

According to authorities, the shooting happened just before 11 p.m. on June 7, 1987, at an apartment on B and 7th streets in Ramona. During the child’s birthday party, Solorio got into an argument with several people, became upset and left with family members, authorities said.

“A short time later, Solorio came back to the apartment with a gun,” Blevins said in a statement. “He shot three males inside the apartment. They were identified as German Aviles, Ventura Aviles and Carlos Holgin. As he was exiting the apartment, Solorio also shot Jose Aviles.”

German and Ventura Aviles were dead inside the apartment by the time authorities arrived, Blevins said. Medics took Holgin and Jose Aviles to a hospital, where they were treated.

Sheriff’s Department homicide detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Solorio shortly after the shooting but learned he had fled to Mexico, Blevins said, and detectives were unable to locate him even with the help of the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service.

A hint about Solorio’s whereabouts came in 2002, when homicide detectives tracked down one of his relatives in Texas, Blevins said. But that family member told authorities she had not had contact with Solorio for about two years and didn’t know his exact location in Mexico.

Authorities did not say what ultimately led them to Solorio 32 years after the shooting. According to Blevins, the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service worked with Mexican law enforcement personnel to detain Solorio, and then worked with the San Diego County district attorney’s office and the Mexican Consulate to extradite him stateside.

Riggins writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

So here’s the thing about life: You think you’re going to make all these choices. And sure, you make some. But some also get made for you.

You say, I’m going to be this and I’m not going to be that. And then the lines blur and you end up a mix of this and that.

Jordan Monkarsh is the son of a Jewish butcher, who fled Poland in the 1930s — and who himself was the son of a ritual slaughterer in the old country.

Growing up, Monkarsh, born and raised in L.A., had no plans to assume the meat mantle. He was a reader. He was a dreamer. He loved poetry.

But again, here’s the thing: Even if you have the luxury of choice, you may in a way already be chosen. You may have things inside of you, passed down to you, nudging you along, that for years you don’t even recognize.

Maybe the name Jordan Monkarsh doesn’t ring a bell for you? How about the alter ego he made up, the often brash, sometimes ribald Jody Maroni who built an empire out of Jody Maroni’s Sausage Kingdom, “the home of the haut dog,” the little business he launched by the beach?

On Sunday, I went to say goodbye to Jody Maroni’s, which is closing shop after 40 years. And as Monkarsh offered up free food and the last sausages sizzled on the grill at his first stand, I took in the well-known sausage king’s rich life, strengthened by deep community connections, but also his hunger for new adventures and the push-me, pull-you forces at work in shedding the old and making room for the new.

Monkarsh, who also goes by Jody, still has a USDA sausage factory in Fullerton. He’ll continue to provide sausage to restaurants and institutions.

But it wasn’t that long ago, before the tougher times brought on first by 9/11 and then by the Great Recession, that Jody Maroni’s name was everywhere — not just in L.A.

Long before it was common in the sausage world, Monkarsh put his creativity to use on interesting flavor combinations — chicken molé, duck sausage with orange and cumin, a sausage made to mimic the flavors of the roast chicken and plantains served up at Versailles Cuban restaurants.

You could pick up a Jody Maroni’s sausage on the New Jersey turnpike and at airports across the land, in Las Vegas and Phoenix and Detroit and three terminals at LAX. You could eat them at the Century City mall or at CityWalk.

Jody Maroni’s sausages went to Dodger Stadium. You could watch the Padres in San Diego while eating them. You could buy Jody Maroni’s sausages at Trader Joe’s or Costco and heat them at home.

Or you could do what a lot of people liked best — and what I did Sunday — and take Venice Boulevard all the way to the ocean to eat them at the spot they first appeared, just steps from the sand.

Now the little stand with the family apartment on top has been sold to the owners of one of the carnival-style fried food stands by the beach. Monkarsh moved out this week, leaving behind a whole lot of history.

As Jody Maroni, he grew famous for handing out sausage samples with a side of mildly salacious stand-up. And it was only on the boardwalk where he could get away with just about anything that popped out of his mouth.

“Hey you! Come over here and taste it! Your wife needs to taste my sausage! Don’t you want to go to heaven?”

He did a lot of things for laughs, like posing with sausage links wrapped around his head and neck and shoulders a la Peter O’Toole in full headdress as Lawrence of Arabia.

And at first it was just an act. He was nothing like this bigger-than-life character he‘d dreamed up. And he didn’t really see the connection to his father Max’s suave style of doling out advice to the women planning dinners for their husbands at Max’s Prime Meats, his Studio City butcher shop.

Jody Monkarsh had spent a lot of time in his youth pushing away any thoughts of inheriting that role.

At 13, he hadn’t liked it when his father got him started making sausages for the shop.

Then he headed to Berkeley to study English and comparative literature and found work in fine dining and wandered the world for a bit — and he seemed right on course to veer off course and abandon his marbled family line.

He made his way around the country. He worked at a fish-packing plant in Seward, Alaska. He was a children’s librarian. He got a job in the casino of a Caribbean cruise ship. He spent time in Europe and Mexico.

Back in L.A. in 1979, he found in his travels what at first he saw as a temporary way to make some money. Inspired by the street food he’d seen elsewhere, he got someone to build a makeshift cart with a grill and piled on the Italian sausages he knew how to make and rolls he bought — and set up shop selling sausage sandwiches on the Venice boardwalk, in front of a little two-story Ocean Walk apartment building that his parents recently had bought.

The sausages sold fast. His schtick seemed to work. He kept being hauled into court for the cart, which was illegal. But he kept on selling — until 1984, when the Olympics came to town and he converted the bottom floor of his parents’ building into his first brick-and-mortar sausage stand.

Soon he was living upstairs and cooking downstairs and soaking up the Venice scene, which back then was wild, he said, “quaaludes and roller skates” and people of all races coming together in a way they rarely did in other parts of the city. Those who lived in Venice at the time, he said, included many free thinkers. He could always find a good debate or talk politics or activism or books. So that part of him wasn’t just pushed aside.

When his parents retired and he got married and started a family, he moved out of the beach apartment and they moved in, for about 20 years. Later, after his parents died and his marriage broke up, he moved back, with his four “sausage prince” sons in residence off and on. Upstairs, Max Monkarsh’s well-worn butcher block covered with a glass top served as the dining table.

Over the years, both Monkarsh and his parents got involved in Venice affairs. They sat on local boards and councils. They got to know just about everyone.

And in this free-form corner of the world, the introverted bookish boy and the extroverted sausage salesman melded into one. Which part is more real now? “After 40 years, it’s hard to say,” Monkarsh told me on Sunday, as barefoot drifters and homeless people and longtime friends and neighbors lined up for his food.

Please don’t go, they kept telling him in not so subtle ways. Don’t take away the real food to make room for more deep-fried Twinkies and Oreos.

But Monkarsh says the boardwalk has been going downhill while the rest of Venice grows richer. The two don’t connect. The new rich residents don’t much visit the beach. “I’m too fancy for the boardwalk now and too cheap for Abbot Kinney,” he said, only half-joking.

He had to give up handing out samples some years ago because too many hungry beach denizens were coming back again and again all day. And as for his old customers, the ones he could talk to for hours about anything, they long since “had kids and got successful and moved to the exoburbs,” he told me — to Westlake Village and Agoura Hills.

Anyway, he still has a lot of non-sausage dreams to fulfill. He wants to travel again. He hopes to lie on a beach or two and read. He plans to stop just yelling at his TV and “be like Don Quixote,” going wherever the progressive group Swing Left tells him he has the best shot to help try to defeat President Trump in 2020.

“I feel as if I have been balancing on a rope for years, and now it’s time to start to walk on the Earth again,” he wrote to me in a recent note as I peppered him with questions about his past and his future.

How many people in this city of a certain age can bring up a tangle of sense memories, of Coppertone and salt water and sausage? For Monkarsh and his sons and his shops’ many longtime workers, the history, of course runs much deeper.

On Sunday, two of his sons, Henry, 22, and Sam, 32, kept hugging each other and weeping.

They were saying goodbye to the home upstairs that featured in their earlier memories. They were saying goodbye to the kitchen downstairs, where they had worked as they grew up.

“It’s really hard to talk about my family without talking about Jody Maroni’s, so it feels like we’re sitting shiva,” said Henry, who had flown in from New York.

As for Sam, watching so many Venice people hug his father and thank his father and tell his father how much they would miss him, he suddenly better understood his legacy.

He used to cringe at his father’s loud showmanship, he said. He used to want him to be more like other dads, more organized and ordinary and conventional.

“He’s just not built like that exactly, but he’s filled with this spirit of community and creative vision and he sort of lives in this fantasy world which is so beautiful — but I rarely allow myself to sort of appreciate it,” Sam said.

He clearly was appreciating it Sunday, as the sun set and tears rolled down his cheeks.
