Aston Villa is delighted to announce that the club will be competing in the UEFA Champions League for the 2026/27 season.

🚨Stop what you’re doing and watch this full exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and a “Dr” Hawley asks over a DOZEN times if men can get pregnant and she CAN’T ANSWER. She blanks, then gives word salads and excuses for why she won’t answer. This is the star testimony for Democrats on abortion. Unbelievable.

Let’s have an honest, tough conversation. I’m Muslim, I’ll never renounce it, and I need to be better. That said, we need to rethink some practices. In the west, the loud, public calls to prayer five times a day, praying in large groups that block streets, disrupting traffic, and inconveniencing others needs to stop. We’re not doing ourselves or our non-Muslim neighbors any favors by disturbing their daily lives. When Westerners visit Muslim-majority countries, they generally show respect. They follow local customs. Women cover up, men act with honor, and they don’t demand that these nations change their laws, build churches or synagogues, or take in more Western immigrants. Muslim countries enforce strict cultural and religious norms, and visitors comply. Everyone coexists peacefully. Why can’t we show the same respect in America and western countries? Let’s be real: this is a Christian-majority country. Muslims make up 1-2% of the population. We’re a minority, and in many ways, we’re guests here. I don’t see Christians or Jews going to Muslim countries demanding special accommodations or disrupting local customs. If they’re allowed to practice their faith (and pagans often aren’t), they might pay a jizya tax for the privilege, which also exempts them from military service. Non-compliance could mean jail, deportation, or worse. I know the counterarguments: “America has freedom of religion!” or “There’s separation of church and state!” But let’s clarify something. The phrase “separation of church and state” comes from Thomas Jefferson’s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association. It refers to a wall protecting religious freedom from government interference and preventing the state from controlling churches. It’s not a blank check to practice our faith in ways that disrupt others. We don’t need to “assert dominance” with mass public prayers in symbolic Western locations. That’s not faith...it’s provocation, and it disrespects our host nation. Muslim-majority countries would never tolerate similar behavior from non-Muslims. Why should we expect different standards here? Let’s show the same respect we’re shown abroad. Let’s practice our faith humbly, integrate thoughtfully, and live as good neighbors. That’s how we honor Islam and earn respect in return. If you want to openly hear the call to prayer 5x a day, there's plenty of safe, clean, and beautiful Muslim countries you can visit or even move to (these countries love western expats). Agree or disagree? Comment below. Would like to have a good discussion on this.

I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

Jordan Peterson: "I don't know if you guys in the UK understand how sad it is for us in Canada, and in the US, to watch what you're doing to yourselves." "We owe the UK such an immense debt. And to watch you guys spiral yourselves into the ground for... political correctness... and gaslight people who are telling the truth." "It's so sickening, it's so demoralising. It's almost unspeakable." "We all hope and pray... that you get your act together, and grow some spine again, and put your country back together, and stand up to these bloody psychopathic bullies and the woke green mob, because it would be a dreadful shame to lose you."

We should be slashing corporation tax, doubling the VAT threshold, increasing personal allowances, abolishing business rates for high street small firms, reducing national insurance contributions, cutting tax on salary/dividends and PLENTY more. Here's a mad idea - reward hard work, and people might do more of it... It's all about incentives. It really isn't complicated. I sit in Parliament listening to Reeves and Labour MPs - honestly, they have NO idea what generates economic growth. It isn't more regulation, it isn't more quangos, it isn't MORE Government. It's individuals, and it's bloody hard work. Design the system around making that work pay, and we'll end up collecting far more tax. SIMPLE! Stop supporting the indolent and start fostering the productive. Make corporation tax the lowest in Europe. Go for it, undercut them. We should be ruthlessly competitive. This Government's plan? Slapping an enormous tax on employment. What do these fools think will happen? Honestly. If ANY of them had any real business experience, they might understand the consequences of their actions. I've built businesses, created jobs, invested in passionate young people. I've been there and done it. It hurts, and it can be very challenging indeed. We need a Government that even vaguely understands it. This one certainly does not.

UP THE VILLA 🗣️

They ruined the best moment in FA Cup history because of this. What's the point?

Referee Josh Smith stopping play here is an extremely classy move. I’m not sure if he’ll get marked down by his assessors for doing it but he absolutely shouldn’t.

🟣🔵 Unai Emery: “We are building all together a winning mentality — fans and team”. “As tempting as it can be to think of the injuries and setbacks as an excuse, we have a no excuse culture at this football club”. “We must be ready to win”.

The greatest heist any football club has ever pulled… Playing this monster in systems that didn’t suit him until his buy-back clause expired 😮‍💨🔥 #AVFC
