“Every American city should have the same protection as Tel Aviv.” Trump’s promise of a nationwide missile shield – inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome – is stirring debate. Critics say it’s unworkable, wildly expensive, and may even stoke global tensions. Supporters? They see it as bold leadership. 🌀 What do you think: A safeguard or just another campaign slogan?

Let’s clear the air right away if you’ve been following my work, my blog, or my podcast for more than five minutes, you’ll know I’m a hardline conservative through and through. No apologies, no fluff, no compromise. That’s the brand and it always will be. I believe in strong borders, national identity, personal responsibility, and good old-fashioned common sense.

Now and then, I like to dip my toes into American politics yes, even though I proudly wear the Union Jack on my sleeve. And because of that, some people love to assume I’m a full-blown Donald 

Trump fanatic. I support the man, sure. Given the choice between Trump and the far-left clown circus that is the modern Democratic Party, I’d vote red in a heartbeat. But let’s get one thing straight supporting someone doesn’t mean agreeing with everything they say or do.

Here’s where the nuance comes in something sorely lacking in today’s political discourse. American conservatism and British conservatism are not the same beast.

They share values, yes, but the flavours are different. British conservatives the real ones, not the soggy centrists in Westminster pretending to be we come from a tradition of ironclad monarchy, heritage, and keeping things grounded. American conservatism? That’s a louder, brasher, more performative cousin. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes bonkers.

Case in point? The “Golden Dome.”

Yes, you read that right. Trump has unveiled plans for a "Golden Dome" defence system apparently a bold, shiny, gilded answer to Israel’s Iron Dome. Because of course, America doesn’t just build something effective and practical it’s got to be big, it’s got to be flashy, and apparently, it’s got to sound like a Vegas casino.

Don’t get me wrong I’m all for national defence. Israel’s Iron Dome has saved thousands of lives, and we should always be looking at ways to defend free people from real threats. But the branding here? I mean seriously. A "Golden Dome"? What’s next the UK unveiling a "Diamond Dome"? 

Perhaps the EU will slap together a "Platinum Parasol" to protect themselves from harsh tweets and mean opinions.

It’s parody at this point or would be, if it weren’t actually happening.

Here’s the crux of the matter: Supporting Trump over the radical left doesn’t mean I check my brain at the door. I can support his stance on free speech, border control, and the economy while also rolling my eyes at some of the over-the-top American pageantry that comes with the package.

So no, I’m not a Trump fanatic. I’m a British conservative who appreciates strong leadership, but also values restraint, realism, and not turning defence strategy into a gold-plated PR stunt.

Let’s stay grounded, folks. Be proud, be prepared but let’s keep the nonsense in check.

A Few Things For Us To Think About ( #1839 )   1.) Few highly educated people have an understanding of reality! 2.) One little lit candle in a cave gives off an amazing amount of light for the eyes! 3.) In this world it takes courage to fight against the darkness that surrounds us! 4.) In Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu knows that the Golden Dome must be swept from the Dome of the Rock for the…

There was much more to see in this holy city. Most obvious the Dome of the Rock on top of the temple plateau. The area is bigger than it seemed from below. Tina, the tour guide, lead us over a wooden ramp along the western wall to the plateau near Al-Aqsa mosque. From there the view opened to the famous Dome of the Rock. Around the plateau are many trees and park like areas where family…
