Pastor John Lovell: The Remnant | Romans 11

How does our sovereign, all-powerful God handle the Jewish nation of Israel's rejection of Jesus Christ? He allows their stumbling, sinful decisions to extend the gift of salvation to the Gentiles, fulfilling a biblical plan to provoke them to jealousy, so that some Jews may ultimately be saved. The Apostle Paul in Romans 11 reveals the mystery of this divine plan that emphasizes God's faithfulness to His chosen people as He preserves a remnant of Israel by grace. Listen this week as Pastor John shows us the depths of God's mercy, encouraging us to live by the truth of the Gospel. All things that exist and happen in creation are FROM Him, THROUGH Him, and TO Him, which in turn, serve to bring glory to our sovereign God. www.gracecityrome.com

A bill to ban biological males from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes failed to advance Monday night, with Democrats standing united on the vote.

A test vote on the bill failed to gain the required 60 votes needed to advance in the chamber as senators stuck to their party lines in a 51-45 vote tally.

The bill sought to determine Title IX protections “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” The vote comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February cutting off federal funding for any state that did not comply with banning biological males playing in female sports. The order stated that an athlete’s “sex” is their gender assigned at birth.

However, Republicans in Congress still have the option of amending the 1972 Title IX law, which protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

“Around the country we have seen men — biological men who identify as women — take up spaces and medals in athletics meant for actual women,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, (R-S.D.), adding, “This is a matter of fairness and equality.”

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) condemned Democrats for blocking the bill as well.

“This is far from over,” he wrote on X. “I’ll NEVER stop fighting to protect women and girls.”

Democrats claimed the bill as a distraction from more “pressing issues” and a federal overreach into school decisions.

“What Republicans are doing today is inventing a problem to stir up a culture war and divide people against each other,” Sen. Brian Schatz, (D-Hawaii), said in a floor speech.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, (D-Wis.), said, “This is a decision for sports leagues to thoughtfully craft policy that takes seriously what is best for all players, not blanket mandates that will undoubtedly have unintended consequences for the safety of all students.”

After Trump’s executive order went into effect, the NCAA changed its participation policy for transgender athletes to be banned from competition in women’s sports.

Megyn Kelly Reveals She’s Battling COVID Vaccine Injury

There was a publication, the BMJ, by Dutch researchers which suggested the COVID vaccines have contributed to 2 million excess deaths globally. This is pretty horrific stuff. And only last week, you may be aware, Yale researchers published new research that showed a long-term effect problem from the vaccine, which is the people who had what we call post-vaccine syndrome… long COVID symptoms like fatigue and brain fog, for example. Two years after having the vaccine, they found that in this particular group that there was still circulating spike protein in the body, which essentially can be causing damage to the tissues or causing an autoimmune reaction.

Victor Davis Hanson: Zelenskyy Bites the Hand That Feeds Him Billions of Dollars

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy strolled into the White House using the same strategy he employed with President Joe Biden, which turned out to be his fatal flaw, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ I think Mr. Zelenskyy, in some ways, is a sympathetic character. He needs American weapons, but he kept arguing and arguing, and interrupting the president of the United States, who kept trying to remind him that without American weapons—and the number is disputed because it includes weaponry, economic assistance, and other types of U.S. aid. “ Without the United States, he would be nowhere. Europe talks a great game. All of Europe together, all 28, 29 nations of the EU, 32 nations of NATO have given less than the United States alone. And they will not come to his aid. “ He was flown in on a U.S. military jet. He met Democratic politicians. He met with union workers at a munitions factory and basically said to them, "These jobs are essential to us." Subtext: "You wouldn't want to lose your job by voting for Donald Trump, who might cut off aid." That was a terrible mistake.

Donald Trump Halts Military Aid for Ukraine: What it Means for Zelenskiy, Europe

US President Donald Trump has ordered a pause in all military aid to Ukraine, turning up the heat on Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

The announcement comes only days after the two held a meeting in the Oval Office which left Washington's support for Kyiv in doubt. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook breaks down the situation and what it means.

The Trump administration has announced that it will be pausing all military aid to Ukraine, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships, and those waiting in Poland.

The pause will be in effect until the U.S. can determine that Ukraine’s leaders demonstrate a good-faith commitment to peace — which has not been evident in the slightest as of late.

“This is not a permanent termination of aid, it’s a pause,” Fox News quoted a Trump administration official as saying.

The news comes just days after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy for a meeting in the Oval Office.

Zelensky expressed that he was not interested in making a peace deal with Russia, despite claiming that Ukraine needs “just and lasting peace.""
