Outgoing schools Chancellor David Banks has confided to city superintendents he doubts that embattled Mayor Adams can remain in power after his indictment, sources told The Post.
Banks called a Zoom meeting with 45 superintendents on Thursday, a day after the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan filed an indictment charging Adams with bribery, fraud and other corruption charges.
“I don’t know if he can overcome this turmoil. I don’t know if anyone can overcome this,” a staffer who attended the meeting quoted a somber Banks as telling the district leaders. Adams appointed Banks, a longtime friend and ally, to lead NYC public schools after taking office in January 2022.

The killing of Hassan Nasrallah and the entire Hizballah high command, followed almost immediately by the killing of Nasrallah’s designated successor Hassan Khalil Yassin, could mean the end of Hizballah as a force to be reckoned with in Lebanon. Nasrallah’s death also strikes a serious blow to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s decades-long effort to gain hegemony over the entire Middle East. Back in 2015, Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, explained that once Israel is destroyed, “the West’s hegemony and threats will be discredited” and “the hegemony of Iran will be promoted.”

What does abortion have to do with the future of fracking in the United States? Much more than one might expect.
Kamala Harris’ announcement that she supports an “exception” to the filibuster underscores the stakes in November’s election. If Democrats gain unified control of both houses of Congress and the White House in January, Harris’ statement makes clear that they would undoubtedly use their power to pass radical legislation — not just on abortion but on energy and many other topics.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty Friday in federal court to five corruption charges of taking bribes and campaign contributions from foreigners.
"I am not guilty, your honor," Adams, 64, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Katharine Parker when she asked for his plea.
His lawyer, Alex Spiro, said he would file a motion to dismiss the charges next week. Adams is next due in court on Oct. 2.
The mayor was released without having to post any bail on the condition that he not have contact with witnesses or people named in the indictment.

The superintendent of Staten Island public schools was abruptly removed from her post amid ongoing accusations of lashing out against staff and vowing “No more white principals,” The Post has learned.
Marion Wilson, who led District 31 schools for three and a half years, was swept out of her office on Sept. 20, and told to report to the Department of Education’s Tweed headquarters in Manhattan.
Wilson “will be transitioning to a central team,” Danika Rux, deputy chancellor for school leadership, said Monday in an internal announcement, without any explanation for the swift and stunning ouster.

These remarks highlight Trump's concerns about foreign interference and its potential impact on the integrity of U.S. elections....
In the past four years, significant funds, nearly $60 billion, have effectively been given to Iran's mullahs by the Biden-Harris administration.
Starting a war against Israel through its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, closing off the Suez Canal, and firing on US troops in the region more than 150 times just since October was apparently Iran's gracious way of saying thank you.

Israel rained down missiles on Hezbollah’s main headquarters in Beirut Friday in its most powerful attack carried out on the Lebanese capital yet — which was understood to be targeting the Iran-backed terror group’s ferocious leader.
It is unclear if the terror chief, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed.
“We don’t know yet. We had intel. This was a precise attack,” a senior Israeli official, who described Nasrallah as the “center” of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” told The Post.
If the targeted strike was successful, the assassination of the Hezbollah commander would be the fourth this week.
The military was still looking into the results of its strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut,

Hassan Nasrallah — the secretary-general of Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah — was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday in what is a major escalation in Israel’s military action in Lebanon, according to the Israeli Defense Forces
“Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world,” the IDF claimed on X on Saturday.
Nasrallah, 64, was in a bunker beneath the group’s main headquarters in Beirut Friday when Israeli warplanes dropped bombs that “leveled six buildings” and took out several Hezbollah honchos in a targeted attack on the longtime terror leader.

It’s that most wonderful time of the year in New York. I mean of course the time when the United Nations General Assembly is in session.
There really is nothing like it. If you can’t get down a couple of blocks on foot you can at least console yourself that some African despot is holed up in his 5-star hotel.
And if you can’t cross town in a car then you can be safe in the knowledge that some Arab potentate is raiding the minibar in a hotel of their choice.
But at least you know that the real action is going on over on the floor of the United Nations.

What did Turkey and its powerful, globetrotting president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan get in return for the thousands of dollars in luxury, first-class travel, other lavish perks allegedly funneled to embattled Mayor Eric Adams?
According to the historic, five-count indictment unsealed by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday, Erdoğan scored a glossy, 36-story glass and steel tower across from the United Nations called the Turkish House that soars over the NYC skyline and the East River — a consular showplace allegedly fast-tracked by Adams despite fire safety concerns.
