When Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed the cadets at West Point, many Americans heard something that has been missing from too much of modern public life: moral clarity.

On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance confirmed from the White House briefing room that the Department of Justice is actively investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar for immigration fraud. "I don't want to prejudge an investigation," Vance told reporters. "It certainly seems like something fishy is there." He made one thing unmistakably clear: "If we think there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime."

On Tuesday, the Justice Department added a one-page addendum to Trump's IRS settlement declaring the agency "forever barred and precluded" from auditing Trump, his family, and his businesses' past tax returns. Chuck Schumer called it a "get-out-of-jail-free card." Democrats across the country screamed corruption. The media ran wall-to-wall coverage about accountability and the rule of law.

The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion. It protects the right to assemble. It does not require Christians to hide their faith to make progressives comfortable. There is no constitutional clause that says "except when the president is involved" or "only in private." The left has spent decades demanding that Christianity retreat from public life entirely, not because the Constitution requires it, but because the left is threatened by it.
