So McCarthy has made it, getting past the Never-Kevin Republicans. Let’s hope it’s not business as usual. Will Quid Pro Joe to be called to account for his influence peddling? Will the upper echelon of the FBI and DOJ get the boot for election interference? I’m not optimistic.
More from Narcoland, headline from NYP: “Passengers panic as plane hit by gunfire after arrest of El Chapo’s son.”

Current concrete production accounts for roughly 8%.
