The Swedish city of Ostersund cancelled “Earth Hour” this year. Nobody wants to turn off their lights after a spate ...

Lighthearted wisecracks about Trump's appearance and braggadocio have been replaced by alarmist commentary on his rhetoric and policies.

As Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal persists and grows, Democratic leaders consider abandoning her for ticket of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren.

I once hoped Marco Rubio represented the future of the Republican party, and more important, American conservatism. Now, after his puerile behavior and increasingly vocal — if not slavish or unqualified — support for Donald Trump, that hope is dashed. I didn’t ignore others’ misgivings about his lack of experience, though arguably it rivaled Ted Cruz’s. I was and am still willing to forgive him for his role in the Gang of Eight; I support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and recognize that Rubio was never actually for “open borders.” #ad#But now I admit that those who warned about his poor judgment and apparent opportunism seem to have identified persistent flaws that led to his downfall. His “robot moment” on the New Hampshire debate stage might have doomed his presidential bid, but the downfall to which I refer didn’t begin until he descended into the mud with Trump. Rubio gave oxygen to Trump’s ridiculous tweets and insulted his person, commenting, among other things, on his — wink – “small hands.” It was embarrassing for everyone — which Rubio admitted, to his credit, but the damage was done. The childishness hasn’t stopped. Philip Klein wrote a piece in the Washington Examiner slamming Rubio for his opportunistic support of Trump amid pressure to run to keep his Florida Senate seat after he had repeatedly stated that he would return to the private sector in January. Trump himself is also now encouraging Rubio to run for re-election. Klein made good points: Rubio hadn’t just disagreed with Trump on policy  but had labeled him a “con artist” who threatened the GOP and was too dangerous to be entrusted with the nuclear codes. Now Rubio has gone from reluctantly upholding his pledge to support “the nominee” to saying he’d attend the convention and would be “honored” to help Trump. This is how Rubio responded to Klein: Funny piece by @philipaklein. Easy to be a “keyboard cowboy”.I actually ran & spent year away from home trying to prevent choice before us — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 27, 2016 Ross Douthat’s reaction to Rubio’s tweet says it all: Rubio wanted credit for telling the truth about Trump, but he didn’t want to be bound by the implications of that truthtelling. — Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) May 27, 2016 I have praised Rubio’s positions, plans, and political rhetoric. And I stand by the first line of an article I wrote: “Senator Marco Rubio’s performance in CNN’s GOP town hall Wednesday was a 45-minute lesson on how to articulate conservative Republican ideas.” His performance at that town hall and the majority of his campaign speeches have much to teach the GOP (perhaps a lost cause now) and conservatives concerned about broadening their appeal. Rubio’s numbers among women, youth, and minorities were exceptionally high within the Republican field. The GOP will have to win at least marginally more of these voters in the near future. I hope a mature, wise, experienced candidate emerges either now or in 2020 who joins actions and convictions with impressive conservative rhetoric. — Celina Durgin is a Collegiate Network fellow at National Review.

The Democrats’ socialist candidate for President of the United States, Bernie Sanders, was seriously tripped up this week in an interview with Univision’s León Krauze. When asked to explain the failure of socialist governments in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, Sanders completely clammed up, saying he has an opinion on the subject, but was unwilling to share it, as he is “focused on my campaign.”

Syrians and Palestinians managed to buy illegal citizenship documents from Honduras then tried to use them to enter the U.S., a Honduran newspaper reported over the weekend, exposing a scheme that analysts say could post a danger to the U.S. visa system.

The Alabama senator and Trump’s chief whisperer on Capitol Hill also offers a divided perspective on the importance of party unity.

The Government is to launch an investigation into whether sharia courts operating in the UK discriminate against women – legitimising forced marriages and issuing unfair divorce settlements. The Home Office said it would examine claims that sharia courts – or councils - may be working in a “discriminatory and unacceptable way”, seeking to legitimise forced marriage and issuing divorces that are unfair to women, contrary to the teachings of Islam. However, it will also seek out examples of best practice among sharia councils.

Whether they call it global warming or climate change, activists on the left are acting as if the issue is just an excuse to extort money and expand the power of government. In Part I, I wrote abou…

The White House assured us last week that President Obama’s visit to Hiroshima would not be an apology photo-op. They lied.

The Mainstream Media has tried to ignore far-left Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren’s attempt to make herself a minority to allegedly further her then academic career which included a high-paying Harvard teaching gig. Donald Trump has since made ignoring that story much more difficult as he blasts the lily-white “Pocahontas” Warren for her longtime deception. ABOVE: …

Friends say the former prime minister is pursuing the founding of a foreign-policy institute

On Thursday, Washingtonian columnist Bill O’Sullivan penned what may go down in history as the apex of leftist stupidity: a column titled, “Loathsome Phrase of the Day: ‘Start a Family.’” What, pray tell, is wrong with the phrase “start a family”? Let O’Sullivan explain:

The American Founders understood that throughout almost all of history, almost everyone had been wrong about the nature of government. We believe that our ri...

When a couple shares the joyous news that they're expecting a child, they commonly say they'll be "starting a family."

Seven months ago I made a mistake. I took Hillary Clinton at her word concerning the never-ending scandal surrounding her email accounts.

Obama told the world on Friday in Hiroshima that the American decision to drop nuclear bombs in 1945 arose from humanity's worst instincts.
