RICH LOWRY: Are we getting dumber? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it the end of the Flynn effect? Decades ago, the researcher James Flynn recognized a secular increase in IQ scores around the world that amounted to humanity getting smarter all the time. Now, technology appears to be pushing the other way. The new results are in from a 2025 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development test of teenage educational achievement around the world, and it looks like the Flynn effect in reverse. “Learning outcomes have stagnated or declined in many countrie
RICH LOWRY: A foolhardy conflict with an inoffensive ally (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Donald Trump’s tariffs aren’t popular, but he’s found a way to make them even less so — a trade war with America’s most inoffensive ally. When one thinks of countries that deserve to be subjected to a steady stream of insults (it’s Lake America now, not Lake Ontario) and a punishing regime of tariffs, Canada is far down the list. Ottawa has been a loyal, if occasionally annoying, friend of the United States for nearly 100 years. The presence of a well-meaning country with similar value
RICH LOWRY: Donât malign the U.S. economy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United States of America may be the greatest place for functionally illiterate people to live in all of human history. An eye-popping column in the Financial Times the other day noted how people in the United States with very low literacy make about as much per hour as the average worker in the United Kingdom.

Read excerpt
Sometimes a red scare isn’t such a bad thing. Over the past several weeks, Donald Trump has issued forth with five-alarm-fire warnings about the Democratic Socialists of America really being communists, and his opponents have blasted him for McCarthyism. Trump’s rhetoric has been over the top, but the DSA does have a communist problem. The DSA is a matryoshka doll of subversion — it is attempting to infiltrate and take over the Democratic Party (with some success), while Marxists are infiltratin
COMMENTARY: Iran War is eating Trumpâs presidency (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An Iran war that was supposed to be brief, and then was supposed to be over, is imposing an increasing price on Donald Trump’s presidency. We’ve seen a second term of a Republican administration go this way before. There are distinct echoes of George W. Bush’s Iraq War — the conflict that Trump has long excoriated — in the president’s predicament. Now, the Iran war is different from Iraq. There is no ground invasion, no regime change, no occupation, no counterinsurgency. The casualties are not c
