Demonic Trinity: "Cardinals" Cupich, McElroy, Tobin, And Trump Derangement Syndrome

 These heretics are still in charge of the "henhouse," causing more and more damage to the real Catholic Church!

Their "church" is the new, novus ordo, synodal mess that the world sees as the Catholic Church, but in reality, is a bastardized version that the Saints and Martyrs suffered and died for, for over 2,000 years...

The article from lifesitenews.com, written by Peter Michaels, Fri Jan 23, 2026 - 6:18 pm EST: Cardinals’ letter against Trump’s foreign policy is a blatant political attack - LifeSite, will point out the hypocrisy of these wolves in sheep's clothing.  Let's face it, they have no shame... 

"(LifeSiteNews) — By now it shouldn’t be surprising when Catholic clergy counter-signal President Trump. It happened first when Pope Francis attacked him for wanting to build a border wall in 2016. It happened in December of last year when Leo indirectly rebuked him for his peace plan in Ukraine, which he said would “break apart” the U.S.’s “alliance” with Europe. And it happened again earlier this month when three of the most liberal members of the American Church’s hierarchy pushed back on his foreign policy.

On January 19, Cardinal Blase Cupich, Cardinal Robert McElroy, and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, C.Ss.R. published what several mainstream media outlets rightly noted was an “unusual” statement subtly rebuking the Trump administration for its approach to international affairs, a topic that under former president Joe Biden the three oddly never opted to weigh in on.

While specifically mentioning Venezuela, Ukraine, and Greenland, Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin expressed concern about national sovereignty across the world being under attack. They also worried that “the building of just and sustainable peace” is being “reduced to partisan categories that encourage polarization and destructive policies.”

“Our country’s moral role in confronting evil around the world, sustaining the right to life and human dignity, and supporting religious liberty are all under examination,” they argued. They further claimed that the “moral foundation for American policy is beset by polarization, partisanship, and narrow economic and social interests.”

Seemingly referencing cuts to USAID, they also worried that “wealthy nations” are wanting to “reduce or eliminate their contributions to humanitarian foreign assistance programs.”

It doesn’t take an advanced college degree to know what is being said here. The cardinals are clearly upset that the Trump administration is seeking to implement a more realist America-first foreign policy that withdraws the U.S. from serving the interests of the liberal world order that was constructed in the 20th century following the Second World War. They are also paranoid over the possibility that the U.S. will no longer provide a free ride for Europe and that its longtime promotion of UN and globalist-backed groups is coming an end. If one ever needed proof the Deep Church is the handmaid of the global Deep State, this letter is it.

What is especially concerning – though not unpredictable – about this letter is that while it rightly speaks of peace among nations, it fails to mention the fact that peace can only be brought about by a conversion of nations to the Catholic religion. “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony,” Pope Pius XI’s 1925 encyclical Quas Primas reads.

Being the liberals that they are, it is rather rich to hear Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin speak of their concern for “abortion and euthanasia” and how “the right to life” and “religious liberty” are being violated.

First, do they not know that the Trump administration has aggressively called out religious liberty violations taking place across the world, especially in places like Nigeria, but also here in the U.S., where it has taken the government’s boot off the neck of Christians and pro-life groups?

Second, on dozens of occasions over the last decade Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin have repeatedly sought to downplay the intrinsic evil of abortion while trying to upgrade “social justice” issues like gun control and “climate change.” Seeing them express concern over the killing of preborn children when the Trump administration has broadly sought to prevent that from happening is puzzling.

Third, when Joe Biden spied on Latin Mass attendees and persecuted pro-lifers like Mark Houck, Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin did not issue a joint letter. Deciding to speak up now when, in years past, they were silent on the violations they say they are now deeply concerned about reeks not only of Trump Derangement Syndrome but of a blatant political decision meant to give moral cover to liberals who want to attack the administrations’ efforts.

Other American clergy and laity have fretted about the U.S.’s foreign policy as well. Earlier this month heterodox Catholics were furious when the Trump administration announced it was withdrawing from over 60 leftist international organizations. In a statement provided to left-wing outlet National Catholic Reporter, Bishop Elias Zaidan claimed that the decision will “have painful and direct repercussions on the lives of vulnerable populations and God’s creation already suffering from a changing climate.” Zaidan chairs the USCCB’s Committee on International Justice and Peace.

Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio, however, defended the administration’s decision. In a press release titled “Withdrawal from Wasteful, Ineffective, or Harmful International Organizations,” Rubio rightly complains that, “what started as a pragmatic framework of international organizations for peace and cooperation has morphed into a sprawling architecture of global governance, often dominated by progressive ideology and detached from national interests.”

He continues: “From DEI mandates to ‘gender equity’ campaigns to climate orthodoxy, many international organizations now serve a globalist project rooted in the discredited fantasy of the ‘End of History.’ These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks – the multilateral ‘NGO-plex’ – that we have begun dismantling through the closure of USAID.” This is precisely what Cupich, McElroy, and Tobin oppose.

U.S. Nuncio Christophe Pierre delivered a speech late last year on the Church’s assessment of current political movements. While some left-wing Catholics see his critique of “woke culture” and “post-liberalism” as being nuanced, at the end of the day, his remarks failed to see things correctly, as he hyperbolically mischaracterized the rise of nationalism in the face of globalism as being pushed by “ultra-conservatives” who are leading persons “towards authoritarian temptations or towards a fundamentalism that contradicts the legitimate plurality of modern life.” This is tantamount to defending the status quo.

The Trump administration and the Church hierarchy’s will continue to be at odds with one another, as their visions for the future of the international order are rooted in diametrically opposed principles. Whereas one sees “climate change,” open borders, and entities like the UN as outdated and even harmful initiatives of a failed liberal system that is suppressing a much needed adaptation to a changing world order, the other sees them as necessary and beneficial to maintaining the old way of doing things on the world stage."

Marxist Communists Are Now Controlling Virginia! Virginia Democrats Introduce Bills That Would Attack Election Integrity, ‘Legalize Crime,’ Raise Taxes

 These new Marxist traitors have also slated unrestricted abortion to their evil agenda -- that's all the way up to birth!

One of the things that always amazes me is the look on the faces of these anti-life brutes: almost always smiling!

Will they be smiling when they go to their Particular Judgment?

I don't think so...

Just my two thoughts on the subject...

Here now is the article from lifesitenews.com, written by Doug Mainwaring 

Wed Jan 21, 2026 - 10:41 am EST: Virginia Democrats introduce bills that would attack election integrity, 'legalize crime,' raise taxes - LifeSite, that will demonstrate the lunacy of these maniacs...

"RICHMOND, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) — Now that Democrats have complete control over the Virginia legislature and governor’s mansion, they have introduced a tsunami of new bills that, if passed into law, will remake the Commonwealth in the image of a socialist state in decline.  

Statements from engaged observers at first sound to be outrageously exaggerated, but in fact it’s Virginia Democrats’ horrific slate of anti-life, anti-American, pro-crime, and pro-unfettered illegal immigration amendments that are outrageous.

 “Democrats won Virginia and are going full Marxist,” noted online commentator Mike Cernovich. “Taxes at California levels. Banning white men from government contracts. Surveillance tech cameras to issue tickets. Internet voting. Gun bans.”

“There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat,” he added.

“Democrats take absolute power in Virginia and the first thing they do is introduce the ‘Legalize Crime’, ‘Steal All Future Elections’, and ‘Duplicate Somali Daycare Fraud’ Acts,” declared Virginia political commentator Christian Heiens on X. “Democrats campaigned on ‘lower utility bills’ in 2025 and we’re instead getting lower sentences for robbery and outlawing hand-counting election ballots in 2026.”

“Democrats in Virginia have introduced a bill to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and all repeat violent felonies,” noted Heiens. 

“If this passes, judges will be able to impose no prison time at all on someone if they are convicted of any of these crimes,” explained Heiens. “We’ve already seen this take place in other Blue states (and in some European countries), where criminals are given light or, in some cases, no sentence at all for crimes they commit because bleeding heart liberals sitting on the bench believe they just don’t know any better.”

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Virginia Democrats also want to remove virtually all restrictions to the direct killing of preborn girls and boys. 

Democrats’ “extreme abortion amendment, which will proceed to a referendum for voters to decide later this year, would go far beyond even what Roe v. Wade previously allowed,” explained a joint statement by Virginia’s bishops. “It would enshrine virtually unlimited abortion at any stage of pregnancy, with no age restriction.” 

More than that, state Democrats have introduced a bill mandating that all health insurance contracts include coverage to pay for over-the-counter condoms. 

In another incredible move meant to weaken Virginia citizens’ control over their own lives, the newly elected legislature has proposed to virtually eliminate election integrity in the state. 

“Democrats have been in power in Virginia for ~48 hours and they’ve already introduced a bill to ban the hand-counting of election ballots,” noted Geiger Capital. “Prohibits such ballots from being counted by hand for any reason[.]”

Catholic political commentator Greg Price compiled a list of some of the many bills Democrats hope to ram into law now that they hold all the levers of power in Virginia.  

It’s an endless socialist wish-list.

“What a spectacular reminder that we no longer live in an era where there’s an existence of a ‘moderate Democrat,’” Ruthless podcast host Josh Holmes told Fox News’ Bret Baier.   

“For the last six months, those of us who pointed out that the Mamdanis of the world had taken over the Democratic Party were assured, ‘No, no, no, that’s not the new face of the Democratic Party. It’s people like moderate Abigail Spanberger,’” said Holmes. 

“She’s there for a cup of coffee, and all of a sudden we have a communist manifesto out in front of us,” he continued. “This is going fast and furious, but it is how Democrats govern, regardless of what they say, even in a purple state like Virginia, Youngkin didn’t govern as a right wing lunatic. She’s trying to take it so far left it’s almost unrecognizable.”

Charlotte Catholics Share Their Grief Over Bishop’s ‘Almost Abusive’ Removal Of Altar Rails!!

 Are you telling me that Leo doesn't know about Martin's attempt to stomp out the traditional Latin Mass and the removal of altar rails and kneelers?

Bergoglio appointed "bishop" Martin, and Leo surely knows of his spiritually abusive tactics towards the faithful parishioners?

Is there that outside possibility that he doesn't know?

And if he does know, then why is he letting him get away with this abuse?

He should, after all, being from Chicago, you know, the home of Cupich -- the other hater of Tradition!

The following article is from lifesitenews.com, written by Emily Mangiaracina Wed Jan 21, 2026 - 5:57 pm EST: Charlotte Catholics share their grief over bishop's 'almost abusive' removal of altar rails - LifeSite.

"CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (LifeSiteNews) — Catholics in the Diocese of Charlotte have opened up about the hurt and tension caused by Bishop Michael Martin’s command to remove altar rails and kneelers that took effect on Friday.

St. Thomas Aquinas Parish parishioner Aloonsri Montgomery described the directive to The Catholic Herald as “almost abusive in the spiritual sense, as I am trying to say to my bishop this hurts us. Spiritually, in my soul, what you’re doing is hurting me.” She noted that diocese responses to laity concerns over the bishop’s orders are “nonexistent.”

Martin ordered in December that churches remove all “temporary or movable fixtures used for kneeling” for Holy Communion by January 16 in accordance with the bishop’s antagonism toward traditional liturgical practices. Last year, he enacted sweeping bans on the traditional Mass, and also saw a draft instruction leaked in which he condemned the use of Latin and priests praying before and after Mass, along with kneeling for Holy Communion.

A considerable number of pastors have taken issue with the decision, with 30 priests having gone so far as to question the Vatican regarding Martin’s ban on the use of altar rails and kneelers, as well as his leaked letter condemning other traditional practices.

Some pastors are reportedly awaiting a response to their dubia from the Vatican before removing movable kneelers. The dubia notes that the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) states that the sanctuary “should be appropriately marked off from the body of the church either by its being somewhat elevated or by a particular structure and ornamentation,” (GIRM 295) typically an altar rail.

LifeSiteNews has independently confirmed that, so far, an altar rail at St. Mark’s donated by a family there in honor of their late son has been removed, causing them such grief that they cried throughout Sunday’s Mass there.

According to Jason Murphy, co-founder and leader of the Catholic Men’s Conference of the Carolinas, the ban on the use of altar rails has a concrete impact on the reverence given toward Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

When altar rails were restored under Father Christopher Roux, the rector, at the Cathedral of St. Patrick in Charlotte, “people started to give more reverence to the Blessed Sacrament,” Murphy said. “You just noticed that even people who might not typically kneel would still receive on the tongue.” He explained this was because of the principle of lex orandi, lex credendi:“The way you pray is the way you believe.” Without rails, “most people aren’t going to kneel” because of “herd mentality,” he added.

Murphy further lamented that over 30 priests felt forced to submit dubia to the Vatican over the situation. “I think that overall, it was really a sense of sadness that it had to be escalated to that, because several priests met with him individually and as small groups, especially the ones who were celebrating the Latin Mass,” he said.  

Murphy described those priests as “some of the holiest, humblest, quietest, respectful men and priests that you might encounter.” He finds the lack of response “really concerning” and “kind of scary in a sense.”

Bredon Kimel, a former Marine and current airline pilot who now attends St. Thomas Aquinas, condemned Martin’s decision to ban altar rails as unfounded and even illegitimate.

 “To me, altar rails evoke reverence, beauty and tradition. Reverence because of the kneeling and the separation of the sanctuary, beauty because of the aesthetic, and tradition because this is how it’s been done for ages,” Kimel told The Catholic Herald.  “I’ve heard no good or even coherent reasons for discontinuing it.”

“The fact that so many parishes in his diocese are strongly traditional, and that many of the laity find in it a source of spiritual foundation and zeal, from which so many vocations have come, shows what kind of zealot he is that he would seek to ban immediately the things so many have come to rely upon in their spiritual life. This is not a legitimate use of his authority,” he concluded.

Dominican Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, a canon lawyer in Washington, D.C., agrees. “When the Mass gives options, the universal authority has vested those options not in the bishop but in the priest celebrant,” he told the National Catholic Register, adding that the document “lacks some of the indicia one would normally expect of a legislative act.” He believes Martin’s order is an expression of the bishop’s personal preference rather than a legitimate exercise of authority.

An anonymous woman who attends St Ann’s told the Register, “As someone who cannot kneel without the assistance of the rail, it was very upsetting.” She pointed out that she has fallen before trying to kneel to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist.

She described Martin’s actions as “retaliatory and divisive from the beginning,” alleging that priests and employees are “scared to death,” that tithing has declined, and that the pain inflicted by his actions “may be irreversible without reparation.”

One anonymous diocesan staff member who “prefers the Novus Ordo,” according to the Register, rebuked Martin’s order as “a grave offense against charity and justice.”

The staffer maintained that removing “acceptable aids for allowing people to receive the way that they wish to receive” is “contrary to justice” and “contrary to charity.”

The bishop has fostered confusion and tension on top of it all, according to the staffer, who said the atmosphere in the diocese “is like walking on eggshells in your own home.” Turnover has ratcheted up, with “people jumping ship left and right.” 

“We are growing more and more anxious by the minute at times,” the staffer said, especially after assurances “not to change things that we love, that we have a right to per either the rubrics or the laws of the Church” have been violated.

Joshua Anderson, a former parishioner of the Diocese of Charlotte and Catholic convert from Presbyterianism, said Martin’s orders have led him to feel “saddened and enraged at alternate times,” and even “a sense of betrayal.” 

Liturgist Dr. Peter Kwasniewski recently affirmed that “even according to the rules that govern the Novus Ordo, there is absolutely no basis for a bishop to oppose the use or the construction of altar rails in churches.” He shared a catechesis on altar rails showing that they “have a basis in the historical and theological dimensions of the Mass, and may be utilized and even promoted, in light of recent legislation.”

Most important, Scripture itself highlights bending of the knee as a gesture of reverence proper to Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

“That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth,” St. Paul wrote in the Letter to the Philippians (2:10)."'

Priest Defends Inviting Pro-LGBT ["]Fr.["] James Martin To Speak At Parish About Memoir!

 WHY?

Martin is a heretic!

He has automatically excommunicated himself from the Catholic Church, yet he is in "good standing" and continues to spread his filth across the U.S. and abroad...

He recently met with Prevost, but there was no condemnation or call to conversion; it was a happy, approving meeting.

WHY?

The same Martin was a favorite of Bergoglio...

What we are witnessing is a novus ordo, synodal church totally infiltrated and run by far too many perverts who hate Tradition and the perennial teachings of the real Catholic Church on sexual morality!

Here is an article from lifesitenews.com, written by Antonino Cambria 

Tue Jan 20, 2026 - 6:09 pm EST: Priest defends inviting pro-LGBT Fr. James Martin to speak at parish about memoir - LifeSite

"PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pennsylvania (LifeSiteNews) — Father Thomas O’Donald of the Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, defended his decision to invite the notoriously pro-LGBT Father James Martin, S.J., to give a talk on his upcoming memoir at the parish, which is also Martin’s native parish, on February 7.

The priest emphasized in an email to LifeSiteNews that he accepts and teaches the Church’s teaching on sexuality and has reservations about Martin’s numerous statements that have confused the faithful. However, he said that he invited the Jesuit to discuss only his forthcoming book, Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest, and his upbringing in the area, not LGBT issues.

A Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP) petition urging O’Donald to cancel the event has already collected over 15,000 signatures.

“We are hosting Father James Martin at Epiphany for a narrow and specific purpose: to speak about his upbringing in Plymouth Meeting, his roots at Epiphany as his home parish, and his new memoir. This is not an event on LGBTQ issues, ‘same-sex marriage,’ or any contested moral questions,” the priest told LifeSiteNews.

Martin has a long history of contradicting Church teaching on homosexuality and transgenderism. The Jesuit priest frequently speaks of “loving LGBTQ people” but he equivocates to downplay the fact that he endorses what the Church condemns: gravely sinful homosexual behavior.

Within the last year alone, Martin has compared school children reading books promoting homosexual “marriage” to Jesus sharing parables, blasphemously compared former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s – who is “married” to another man – “parenting” to the Holy Trinity, and even celebrated a confirmation Mass for homosexual ABC News correspondent Gio Benitez, who is also in a homosexual “marriage.”

Martin has criticized Catholic teaching that homosexuality is disordered, calling it “cruel,” suggested that Catholic doctrine on homosexuality is not “authoritative,” cast doubt on the biblical condemnation of sodomy, and falsely claimed that homosexuality is “the way God created” people. He has further said he hopes homosexual “husbands” will one day feel comfortable to kiss each other during the sign of peace at Mass.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, accused Martin of “heresy” in 2022.

O’Donald told LifeSiteNews, “I not only accept but actively teach and preach the Church’s teaching on human sexuality and marriage as taught in the Catechism and the Magisterium, including the Church’s teaching that sexual acts belong within marriage between one man and one woman, and that homosexual acts are contrary to the natural law.”

Indeed, the Catholic Church formally condemns homosexual activity and urges homosexuals to live in chastity.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” and “contrary to the natural law.”  The text is very clear that homosexual activity can never be approved and repeats that “(h)omosexual persons are called to chastity.” Homosexual acts are mortal sins; therefore, anyone who commits these sins and does not repent through the sacrament of Confession is in danger of hell.

The Catechism adds that the homosexual inclination is “objectively disordered.”

O’Donald continued:

At the same time, hosting Fr. Martin for this limited talk is not an endorsement of every opinion or pastoral emphasis he has expressed publicly. I have serious reservations about some of his public commentary and the confusion it has caused. Nevertheless, he is a priest in good standing and a native son of this parish.

While Martin may be technically in “good standing,” he has nevertheless repeatedly contradicted the teaching of the Catholic Church and promoted grave errors about sexuality.

O’Donald noted that Martin’s talk was approved by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, with the explicit permission of Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez and Father Philip G. Bochanski, the vicar general and moderator of the archdiocesan curia, who was previously the executive director of Courage International, an apostolate that helps Catholics struggling with homosexual inclinations.

TFP, in its petition to O’Donald to disinvite Martin, which had already surpassed its original goal of 15,000 signatures, noted Martin’s “open revolt” against 2,000 years of Catholic teaching and the scandal his talk would cause to the faithful.

“I prayerfully urge you to disinvite Fr. James Martin as a speaker on February 7, 2026,” the petition reads. “Fr. Martin’s public pro-LGBT activism and open revolt against Catholic teaching causes scandal, especially among young Catholics.”

“Fr. Martin’s promotion of ‘pride’ is at odds with the Bible, natural law, Papal documents, the Fathers of the Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and a litany of saints spanning 2,000 years,” they added. “Please find a replacement speaker who respects God’s law.”

TFP highlighted that their previous protests have successfully led to the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre disinviting Martin from speaking at its 2017 gala in New York City, the Catholic University of America rescinding its invitation for the Jesuit to speak on campus that same year, and Holy Family University canceling the Jesuit’s planned 2025 commencement speech.

Death By Firing Squad! **Media Blackout**

 

HORROR: Three Midwest Tourists Vacationing in Florida Stalked and Gunned Down by Ahmad Jihad Bojeh

Notice this murderer's name?

And that's why there's a media blackout...

Now, if the three innocent men were black, and the killer was white, there would be a media feeding frenzy, not only because the men were black, but also because of a further attack on the Second Amendment!

The Marxist communists in the media are so corrupt and anti-American that they cannot resist condemning both the shooter and the right to bear arms.

BUT NOT IN THIS CASE!

Because the maniac had that "special" last name, the media is silent...

Here is the article from thegatewaypundit.com, written by Cristina Laila Jan. 20, 2026 7:00 pm: HORROR: Three Midwest Tourists Vacationing in Florida Stalked and Gunned Down by Ahmad Jihad Bojeh | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

**Media Blackout**

"Three Midwestern men who were vacationing in Florida were gunned down by a man named Ahmad Jihad Bojeh on Saturday.

Bojeh was previously arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, but he was acquitted after an insanity plea, Fox 35 Orlando reported.

The victims, Robert Luis Kraft, 69, his brother, Douglas Joseph Kraft, 68, and their friend James Puchan, 68, were on a guys’ trip attending a car show in Kissimmee over the weekend when Bojeh murdered them.

According to reports, the three men were waiting for help after troubles with a rental car when Ahmad Jihad Bojeh approached them and fatally shot them.

“There were no known interactions between the men and this individual prior to the event; they were then approached and senselessly murdered. This was a random, tragic act,” the Kraft brothers and Puchan’s family said.

“These three wonderful men did not deserve this. Our families are left with an unexpected, unimaginable loss that cannot be put into words,” the family said.

“We ask for privacy, prayers, and respect as we mourn and begin to process this tragedy,” the family said in a joint statement.

Fox News reported:

Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, was arrested in connection with the murders of three men who were staying at a property next door to his home in Kissimmee, Osceola County Sheriff Christopher Blackmon told reporters Sunday.

“It was cold-blooded, it was premeditated, there was absolutely no issues,” Blackmon said. “There was no conflict between these people. This was just random. And this happened to be the person who lived next door.”

Deputies responded around 12:13 p.m. Saturday to a shooting at a subdivision near Kissimmee and discovered the bodies of three adult males in front of the rental home. All three men suffered apparent gunshot wounds.

 Blackmon said the three victims were stuck at the rental home after having vehicle trouble and had extended their stay for one day to wait for service.

Two of the victims have been identified as Robert Luis Kraft, 69, of Holland, Michigan, and his brother Douglas Joseph Kraft, 68, of Columbus, Ohio, the sheriff said. The third victim was identified as James Puchan, 68, a friend from Ohio, FOX35 Orlando reported."
