There has not been a truly education mayor in the last few decades. Yes, the last few mayors have allocated funds for the Syracuse School District and gone to first school day activities, taken pictures with our students from time to time, but none has taken the schools in our city to heart and advocated continuously using their "bully pulpit" as only mayors can do.

"It's not like Pearl Harbor, or some of the other terrible things in our history - the assassination of John Kennedy - the things that people remember where they were when they found out about it. It's something that's still going on.
This is to be expected. If it didn't appear in Politico then it might have been posted right here: It's an article of faith in American politics that big disasters are defining moments for presidents-creating a huge stage for political theater and also posing some of the biggest risks.

Over the last few days, Trump has ratcheted up the heat on Sessions considerably. Only yesterday he tweeted that Session was " beleaguered " in his role as Attorney General.
President Donald Trump took a remarkable new swipe at his own attorney general on Monday, referring to Jeff Sessions in a tweet as "beleaguered" while privately musing about whether he should fire his longtime ally. Fuming about the ongoing investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion with foreign officials, Trump again directed his displeasure at Sessions.
NY1 VIDEO: Former mayor Rudy Giuliani is denying a report suggesting he's being considered as the next Attorney General - and is also defending the current head of the Justice Department, Jeff Sessions. This as Trump son in law Jared Kushner is also making headlines.
After a succession of administrations that embraced Spanish-language content, President Donald Trump's White House is all but ignoring Spanish speakers even though he has a robust online presence in English. His administration has yet to offer a Spanish White House website.
A federal judge in Detroit agreed Friday to put a halt to court proceedings that sought the release of a legal memorandum believed to have been created by Rudy Giuliani to help justify President Donald Trump 's controversial travel ban. The former New York City mayor made a splash in late January - a day after an early version of the travel order was signed - when he said on Fox News that the president had asked him before his inauguration to assemble a commission that would look for ways to "legally" institute a travel ban targeting Muslims.
In another legal setback for President Donald Trump, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals refused on Thursday to lift an injunction against his revised travel and refugee order, preventing the White House from suspending new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries, as this decision took another step on the way to a likely showdown on the matter at the U.S. Supreme Court. As in earlier rulings, the judges cited the President's own words calling for a "Muslim ban," ruling that the order was basically an effort to target "Muslims for exclusion from the United States."
Trump's Washington woes wear on, there's risk-off in China, and it's another big weekend for Angela Merkel. Here are some of the things people in markets are talking about today. President Donald Trump did little to quell the controversy over the sacking of FBI director James Comey when he said in an interview with NBC News that he would have fired him no matter the recommendation of the Justice Department. Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that Comey "enjoyed broad support in the FBI and still does to this day," contradicting White House claims that the sacked director had lost the confidence of the organization.
Consider, if you will, Merrick Garland - a one-time distinguished Supreme Court nominee now fated to endlessly be the set-up in a joke whose punchline never arrives. Garland, of course, is best known for being the central figure in one of the Republican-controlled Senate's grandest indignities, the history of which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been desperate to revise .
After FBI Director James Comey's firing, his successor faces a tough challenge to assert independence while pursuing a politically-charged investigation into links between Donald Trump's U.S. presidential campaign and Russia. Analysts and former agents say Comey's exit gives the Federal Bureau of Investigation much-needed space to get past accusations that he botched the probe into Hillary Clinton's email server last year, helping swing the election to Trump.

Though Donald Trump fashions himself a loyal boss, his inner circle has been steadily shrinking - revealing Trump's willingness to cast aside some of his most devoted advisers. This week, National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was added to the list of Trump's left-behind loyalists.
WHILE I tried to make sense of Apostle Suleiman Johnson's unguarded utterances which hardly reflects the tenets of the gospel he sought to defend, I was further mortified by the executive bill signed by President Trump that temporarily bans travels into the United States from seven countries; Iran, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq and Somalia. The ban however comes with a somewhat divisive caveat which gives non-Muslims a preference and stereotypes all Muslims.
