THREE DOCTORS From the Same Hospital “Die Suddenly” in the Same Week After Hospital Mandates Fourth COVID Shot

Edited by AI Photo Enhancer

Three physicians at Canada’s Trillium Health Partners-Mississauga Hospital died unexpectedly in the same week. The cause of death for the three doctors has yet to be announced.

The news about the three deceased doctors was first shared by Monique in a post that went viral. According to Monique, a concerned nurse shared with her a copy of the memo that was sent out by the hospital’s management.

According to the nurse, the three doctors died after the hospital started mandating the fourth Covid shot for their employees.

“Three physicians at the Mississauga hospitals have died this week,” the nurse told Monique. “1st memo Monday, 2nd Tuesday, 3rd Thursday. [The] cause of death wasn’t shared in the memo, but how many times have 3 doctors died in 1 week, days after the hospital started administering the 4th shot to staff.”

“This is in addition to the physician who worked at North York General who died this week while out running. How many more “coincidences” will people accept. These shots need to be pulled,” the nurse concluded.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Dr. Paul Hannam, the Chief of Emergency Medicine and Program Medical Director at North York General Hospital (NYGH), died unexpectedly on July 16 while out for a run, according to his colleagues.

The three physicians who died the same week were Dr. Lorne Segall (July 17), Dr. Stephen McKenzie (July 18), and Dr. Jakub Sawicki (July 21).

The Gateway Pundit had reached out to Trillium Health Partners through their official Facebook page on July 24th to verify the deaths of the three doctors but did not respond to our inquiry.

The Gateway Pundit then contacted the hospital and spoke with Amit Shilton, the manager of media relations and services. Shilton told the Gateway Pundit that he could not confirm their death due to personal reasons.

On Wednesday, Trillium Health Partners finally released a statement and confirmed the deaths of the three physicians.

“It is with deep sadness that THP mourns the loss of three of our physicians who recently passed away,” the hospital announced on Twitter.

“Dr. Jakub Sawicki, Dr. Stephen McKenzie, and Dr. Lorne Segall were respected physicians who dedicated their lives to caring for their patients and community,” the post added.

The hospital claimed that the social media rumor that their deaths were related to the COVID-19 vaccination is “simply not true.”

According to the memo, Dr. Lorne Segall joined Trillium Health Partners in 2007 as an Otolaryngologist at Credit Valley Hospital and served as Division Head of Otolaryngology from 2016 to 2017. His generous contributions and support to Trillium Health Partners’ Otolaryngology services played a pivotal role in the success of our Otolaryngology Program.

“An obituary posted online said Dr. Segall, 49, passed away on July 17, after a “ridiculously unfair and hard-fought year-long battle with advanced lung cancer,” Global News reported.

Dr. Stephen McKenzie died one day after Dr. Segall. He died on July 18.

“Dr. McKenzie joined Trillium Health Partners (THP) in 1983 as a Neurologist at Mississauga Hospital. He was one of the department’s founding members and was a source of stability as the program evolved. He had a strong interest in medical education and found great satisfaction in passing on his knowledge. His talent for teaching was invaluable and throughout his career continued to make generous contributions to undergraduate and postgraduate medical education at THP and the University of Toronto,” the memo read.

The reason for his death has not yet been determined.

Dr. Jakub Sawicki died on July 21, according to the memo. The reason for his death remains unknown at this time.

“Dr. Sawicki completed his training at the Credit Valley Family Medicine Teaching Unit in 2013 and has been a member of the Surgical Assisting team at Trillium Health Partners since 2014,” the memo read.

According to the GoFundMe page set up by Sawicki’s wife, Iris Sawicki, “my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastric Cancer Signet Ring Adenocarcinoma, which had spread beyond the gastric wall into his peritoneal cavity.”

Bacteria that causes rare tropical disease found in US soilBacteria that causes rare tropical disease found in US soil

Bacteria that causes rare tropical disease found in US soil

NEW YORK (AP) — A germ that causes a rare and sometimes deadly disease — long thought to be confined to tropical climates — has been found in soil and water in the continental United States, U.S. health officials said Wednesday.

The bacteria was found on the property of a Mississippi man who had come down with the disease, melioidosis. Officials don't know how long it had been there, but they say it likely is occurring in other areas along the Gulf Coast.

U.S. physicians should consider melioidosis even in patients who haven't traveled to other countries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a health alert.

“Once it's in the soil, it can be a health threat for people in the area,” said the CDC's Julia Petras, who oversaw the investigation.

The illness can start with a wide range of symptoms like fever, joint pain and headaches. It's treatable with the right antibiotics if it’s caught early, but it can lead to pneumonia, blood infections and even death if not properly treated.

About 12 cases are reported annually in the U.S. The vast majority have been in people who traveled to places where the bacteria is endemic, including certain regions of Australia, Thailand, and Central and South America.

People can get the illness through direct contact with contaminated soil and water, especially if they have a cut on their hand or foot. It is also possible to inhale the bacteria.

The bacteria may not bother healthy people. But it can be dangerous to those with diabetes, chronic kidney or lung disease and weakened immune systems.

Last year, four people came down with the disease even though none had traveled internationally. Officials blamed their illnesses on a contaminated aromatherapy spray imported from India.

The new findings explain two Mississippi cases in men who hadn't traveled internationally, officials said. One got melioidosis in 2020 and the other, who lives about 10 miles away, got it this year. Both have recovered.

Health officials didn't say exactly where in Mississippi the men live, but investigators took 109 soil and water samples from the area. The bacteria was found in three spots — two in soil and one in a puddle — on the property of the man who was sickened two years ago.

Finding the bacteria in U.S. soil is significant, but not surprising. Investigators have long believed that local soil contamination was behind infections in Texas's Atascosa County in 2004 and 2018, CDC officials said.

Dallas Love Field Airport shooting: Police ID suspect as Portia Odufuwa, a 37-year-old Texas woman

Dallas Love Field Airport shooting: Police ID suspect as Portia Odufuwa, a 37-year-old Texas woman

Dallas police said officers shot the suspect, Portia Odufuwa, and she was taken to a hospital

 

 

Texas police have identified the woman suspected of opening fire at the Dallas Love Field Airport Monday morning as Portia Odufuwa.

Dallas police said she had been dropped off at the airport and entered the terminal.

"Odufuwa went inside a women’s restroom and a short time later comes out into the ticket counter area and fires a weapon several times," police said. A Dallas police officer nearby engaged the suspect and shot her "in the lower extremities," police said.

Authorities took Odufuwa to a hospital. No other injuries were reported among passengers, airport workers or responding officers.

"At this point we don’t know where exactly this individual was aiming," Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcie told reporters earlier.

A witness told FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth she saw the armed woman dressed in all black, walking in the terminal "with guns up."

"We were at the counter checking in, and I was trying to check in and we heard someone yelling," Judy Rawle told the station. "And we looked up and we saw her walking down with guns up."

Rawle said she had heard from another witness that the suspect "was upset because her husband had got fired from somewhere."

The incident happened near the entry and did not involve the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, authorities said.

"The shooting occurred in non-secure area at ticket counter," a TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 

But it snarled traffic at the Texas airport for hours. The airport suspended operations after the 11 a.m. shooting and the TSA evacuated the terminal and said it was ordering mandatory rescreens for all travelers.

Images inside show shocked travelers taking cover in the waiting areas.

Records show a Portia Odufuwa of the same name and age was accused of a 2019 bank robbery in Wylie and arrested near the scene, but the charges were later dropped.

The attorney who represented Odufuwa in the robbery case did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Oduwufa, 37, had been accused of handing a teller a note demanding money, FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported at the time.

A court had ordered an examination into her competency just two weeks before the dismissal, records show.

The FBI is assisting Dallas police in the airport investigation.

Soros Open Society Foundation Employee Brags About Having Sex with Multiple Men at Pride Event – Then Blames Government After Catching Monkeypox and Gonorrhea

Soros Open Society Foundation Employee Brags About Having Sex with Multiple Men at Pride Event – Then Blames Government After Catching Monkeypox and Gonorrhea

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

A public health expert and director of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation told  The Guardian how he had sex with several men during NYC Pride festivities. Then he blamed the government after contracting both monkeypox and gonorrhea.

According to a post from Andy Ngo, Sebastian Köhn is one of the directors at George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.  He is the current Division Director, Signature Initiatives at Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

Sebastian outright admitted that he was aware that “monkeypox was an emerging issue, especially for gay men.” And yet, he had sex with multiple men anyway because he believed that the number of cases in the city was not very high.

“I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small,” Sebastian told the Guardian. “What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had [the] capacity to process ten tests a day.”

“I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had a high fever with chills and muscle aches, and my lymph nodes were so swollen they were protruding two inches out of my throat,” he added.

Instead of taking responsibility for his own irresponsible actions, Sebastian blamed the government for how poorly it has handled the situation.

More from the Guardian:

After I went home, the rash started spreading, and I began to feel anxious. I developed lesions literally everywhere; they started out looking like mosquito bites before developing into pimply blisters that would eventually pop, then finally scab before leaving a scar. I had them on my skull, on my face, my arms, my legs, my feet, my hands, my torso, my back, and five just on my right elbow. At the peak, I had over 50 lesions, a fever of 103F and intense pain, prompting a panic attack. Ironically, the only place I didn’t have lesions was my penis.

The next day I got my STI results: positive for gonorrhoea. But no word yet on monkeypox. That’s when I developed hives everywhere on my body from my neck down, as well as a headache, arthritis pain in my fingers and shoulders and a strange pain in my shin bone that got so painful that I couldn’t stand up. At night, I would wake up going crazy with both pain and itching from the lesions and hives, just sitting up in bed and scratching myself. I was isolated, lonely and frustrated with how unfair the situation was. I was clearly very sick, yet had to cobble together a care plan on my own.

My anorectal lesions, which were already very painful, turned into open wounds. It felt like I had three fissures right next to each other, and it was absolutely excruciating. I would literally scream out loud when I went to the bathroom. Even keeping the area clean, like washing myself, was extremely painful. It was a two hour process each time.

Four days after my test – I got a call from urgent care that I had tested positive for monkeypox. But they gave me no information beyond that. So I started calling around to see how I could get access to the antivirals. I knew the CDC had put out guidance around who should be considered for treatment, and that included people who had anorectal lesions, lesions in the throat and dermatological conditions, which I did.

This whole thing just feels like a huge failure that should not have been allowed to happen, especially not two and half months into the outbreak. If someone like me, who has worked in sexual health for a long time, had such a hard time navigating care, I can’t imagine other people doing it. I know several people who are just sitting at home in agonizing pain because they’re not getting the support that they need.

I’m pretty worried that we’re close to the point that this is going to be another endemic disease, especially among gay men, if we haven’t passed that point already. I’m worried we’ll be stuck with it forever.

According to the CDC, the first case of monkeypox in the US this year was recorded on May 18. The CDC knew that the virus was spreading among gay men, but they did little to stop it.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that New York City is now the “epicenter of the monkeypox outbreak” which accounts for 30% of all US cases.

“There are now [900] cases of monkeypox in the city, which is more than [31%] of the recorded cases of monkeypox per the CDC,” NY Health said in a statement. “New York City is the epicenter of the monkeypox outbreak in the U.S. and yet does not have sufficient vaccine supply to reach the number of people who need it to protect themselves.”

The CDC also confirmed on Friday the first two U.S. cases of monkeypox in children, both adjacent to the gay community.

In a statement, the agency said that both cases are “likely the result of household transmission” and “had no contact with each other.”

“We do have seen now two cases that have occurred in children,” Walensky said at a virtual event with the WaPo on Friday. “Both of those children are traced back to individuals who come from the men who have sex with men community, the gay men community.”

“And so when we have seen those cases in children, they have generally been what I call ‘adjacent to the community’ most at risk,” Walensky added.

PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

A 36-year-old Oakland County man has been charged inappropriately touching a Macomb Township boy he was babysitting for over the weekend, according to authorities.

Mark Baum of Southfield was arraigned Monday in 41A District Court in Shelby Township on two counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct. His bond was set at $150,000 cash/surety, court records show.

According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched about 8 p.m. Saturday to a house in Macomb Township for a report of a criminal sexual conduct.

The child’s parents told deputies their 5-year-old son had been sexually assaulted by their babysitter. The boy’s claim was witnessed and confirmed by a second older child who was at the home at the time.

The boy’s parents immediately contacted police, who started an investigation.

Investigators learned the family had contacted Baum through a website called Care.com. The site matches families with help for children, pets, elderly parents, home and lifestyle.

“It is unknown how long Baum has been employed by Care.com,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “His Care.com profile stated that he has 10 years of experience.”

Detectives said Baum had provided babysitting services for the Macomb family once before Saturday. It is unknown how many other babysitting jobs he has received through Care.com or elsewhere, authorities said

Care.com’s website states every care provider is required to pass a background check. There’s a banner on the site that states “Find trusted caregivers for your every need” while another section reads “We are committed to finding a caregiver you can trust.”

Baum was taken into custody by the Southfield Police Department at the request of the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office. He was transported to the Macomb County Jail in Mount Clemens.

If he is released on bond, Baum was ordered to have a tether attached to his ankle. He is scheduled to be return to court on Aug. 1 for a probable cause conference.

WAYNE ROOT: 33 Dead & Sick Friends Since Our Wedding Only 8 Months Ago. All 33 Vaxxed. A “Vaccine Death & Disease Cluster.”

By Wayne Allyn Root

Yes, you read correctly. There are (so far) 33 friends and relatives dead or sick since our wedding eight months ago. I’ve done the research. All 33 were vaxxed. Every one of them.

This is a “vaccine death and disease cluster.”

This is like the “Love Canal” cancer cluster of the 1970s. It can’t be ignored when you see so many people dead, or very ill in just one group.


But it has nothing to do with our wedding. Open your eyes. This is happening everywhere. Non-Covid deaths are up dramatically in the United States (and all over the world). Life insurance companies report non-Covid deaths are up 40% or more among young, working age Americans. Lincoln National reports death benefit payouts are up over 163% in the year since Covid vaccines came out. These are death increases not seen during World War II.

Read the headlines- every day a new celebrity, actor, rock star, athlete or CEO is dropping dead “suddenly and unexpectedly.” Most of them are way too young to die, or suffer strokes or heart attacks. I’m betting they all have one thing in common- they are VACCINATED.

I surfed over to TMZ.com one night this week. Here were the headlines:

*American Pickers’ Frank Fritz hospitalized after stroke.

*“Little Women: Atlanta” star Ms. Juicy suffered stroke, out of ICU.

*Hailey Bieber (Justin Bieber’s 25 yr old wife) had mini-stroke, underwent heart procedure.

*“Elvis” actress Shonka Dukureh found dead in apartment at age 44.

*Sopranos Star Tony Sirico dead.

*”AGT” & “Voice” contestant Nolan Neal dead at 41.

Add to the list…

*Paul Duncan, 35, former Notre Dame football star died of heart attack while jogging.

*The autopsy of Sam Bruce, former Miami Hurricanes football player, was released. He died of a heart attack while driving in April at the age of 28.

These were all headlines in one day this week!

Have you ever heard of anything like this in your life? This is a tsunami. This is a plague. This is a REAL pandemic. These are all relatively young Americans either suddenly dead, or very ill with the two most common side effects of the Covid vaccine (heart attacks and strokes).

Everything I have warned about on my national radio show since the first day of the vaccine has (sadly) happened. The chickens have come home to roost. The Covid vaccine is dangerous and deadly. It is the biggest disaster and failure in the history of healthcare. It is a nonstop death and injury machine.

I’ve personally compiled a detailed list of studies released by governments and medical authorities around the world that all point to three absolute conclusions:

A) The Covid vaccine is a horrible failure.
B) The Covid vaccine is dangerous and deadly.
C) Those who take two or more vaccines are much more likely to get
Covid…to be hospitalized with Covid…and to die from Covid.

But it gets much worse. The vaccinated are dropping like flies from heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, cancer, and being disabled by a multitude of illness and disease.

Two of the latest credible studies show…

*The Covid vaccine damages and destroys the immune system like a form of AIDS. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9167431/

*91% of those in the UK who have died of Covid this year are triple or quadruple vaccinated: https://expose-news.com/2022/07/22/uk-gov-confirms-91percent-covid-deaths-triple-vaccinated/
Have you heard about these studies in the mainstream media? Why not?

Want to see all these credible studies pointing to a Covid vaccine disaster? I’ve compiled the most extensive list of anyone, anywhere. I’ll send it to anyone who asks.

 

Now we come to my personal story. It’s been only eight months since I wed my beautiful bride Cindy Parker Root. And in that time, people we know and love have been dying and suffering deadly non-Covid illness in huge numbers.

33 of them.

33 dead, or injured, crippled or disabled in only eight months. That’s a lot of friends and relatives. That’s a “death cluster” that should be investigated by scientists, MDs and the CDC. That’s a story that should garner media headlines. But wait, there’s more…

All 33 were vaccinated.

It’s important to note, I’m a conservative talk show host who has warned LOUDLY of the dangers of the vaccine since day one. So, my friends are overwhelmingly conservative and unvaccinated too. Yet the few friends I know who did choose to vaccinate are almost all dead or ill.

Just think about those percentages. The ranks of my few vaccinated friends are decimated like a platoon of Marines shredded by an enemy ambush, who came home in body bags.

Wait, here’s the clincher. Among my friends and family who are unvaccinated, not one of them has died or been sick since my wedding eight months ago.

Do you detect a pattern here? Even Democrats have to notice a pattern, right? Even Dr. Fauci has to notice a pattern, right? Even Joe Biden has to notice a pattern. Well let’s not get carried away. Nursing home patients with dementia can’t be expected to understand simple patterns.

Something is very wrong. Anyone can see it in the headlines every day. Americans are dropping dead at the highest rate in history. These are all non-Covid deaths. These are young working age Americans. And I’m betting they all have one thing in common: they’re vaccinated.

But in the end, nothing is more telling than my personal story. Call it a “vaccine death and disease cluster.”

The media needs to report on this disaster. The FDA and CDC needs to admit it’s happening. The vaccines must be stopped. But instead, they’re doubling down. Remarkably, they’re recommending Covid jabs for babies, toddlers and teens.

This is either the biggest health scam and cover-up in world history, or mass murder on a grand scale. Or both.

The New York Department of Health on Thursday reported a case of polio in a resident of the state's Rockland County. 

This case marks the first in the U.S. in nearly a decade. 

The department said it was identified through sequencing at the Wadsworth Center – its public health laboratory – and confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

The sequencing showed revertant polio Sabin type 2 virus.

FINANCIALLY STRAINED SEXUAL HEALTH CLINICS ARE ON THE FRONTLINE TO RESPOND TO MONKEYPOX

"This is indicative of a transmission chain from an individual who received the oral polio vaccine (OPV), which is no longer authorized or administered in the U.S., where only the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) has been given since 2000," the department wrote. "This suggests that the virus may have originated in a location outside of the U.S. where OPV is administered, since revertant strains cannot emerge from inactivated vaccines."

Polio is endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

The state Health Department, the Rockland County Department of Health and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are coordinating to continue the case investigation and "proactively respond."

A viral disease that can affect the nervous system and cause muscle weakness, the polio virus typically enters through the mouth. 

While it is usually transmitted by hands contaminated with the fecal matter of an infected person, respiratory and oral-to-oral transmission through saliva may also occur.

Polio is very contagious and a person can spread the virus even if they aren't sick. The majority of people infected with polio have no symptoms. 

Symptoms can be mild and flu-like and can take up to 30 days to present, during which the infected individual can spread the virus to others. 

HYPERTENSION, THE SILENT KILLER: WHAT IS IT?

Although rare, some cases can result in paralysis or death. 

Due to the success of the polio vaccine, introduced in 1955, cases were cut dramatically in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The last naturally occurring cases of polio in the U.S. were reported in 1979 and the last known case in the country was recorded by the CDC in 2013.

The polio vaccine is part of the required school immunization schedule for all children. According to the most recent CDC data, about 93% of 2-year-olds had received at least three doses of polio vaccine.

All of those who have not completed their polio vaccine series previously – or Rockland County members who are concerned they may have been exposed to the virus – should get vaccinated at local vaccine clinics. 

People there who have already been vaccinated, who are considered to be at lower risk, but are at risk of exposure should receive a booster.

The first clinic in New York's Rockland County will be at the Pomona Health Complex on Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. A second clinic at the same location will be held on Monday. Walk-ins will be accepted.

Three Hispanic Americans weigh in on why minority voters could be abandoning the Democratic Party. 

"The Democrats really lost working-class people," Chris Formoso, a first-generation Cuban, and father of four, told Fox News. "These people have absolutely lost their minds. There is no way we could vote for them, especially when Republicans have been more focused on the issues that matter."

A Puerto Rican man, Hector Olmo, who is now a retired cop living in New Jersey, said Democrats use handouts and rhetoric to appease minority voters while keeping them from achieving real success. 

A Cuban immigrant, Maria Lorenzo, who came to the U.S. more than 50 years ago said the Democratic Party embracing socialism and ignoring its policy failures has caused them to lose support among Hispanics. 

"I can’t talk about all the Hispanics, but most of the ones I know, they are fed up with the Democratic Party," said Lorenzo, who came to the U.S. as a child from Havana and became an American citizen on her 18th birthday.

"People here have a lot of misconceptions. They studied communism in school, but I lived it," Lorenzo told Fox News. 

"Most of the Hispanics, especially the ones that came from Cuba and Venezuela, they came running from communism. And they see that this country, the Democratic Party, is leaning towards that- toward socialism, towards division."

Lorenzo’s parents instilled in her and her sister a strong work ethic. In his pursuit of the "American Dream," Lorenzo says her father refused to accept any government handouts. 

Her top priorities as a voter are maintaining small government and defending the first and second amendments.

Despite the Democratic Party’s historical success with garnering the Hispanic vote , Lorenzo said economic woes are causing many to reevaluate. "When your pocket is hurting you wake up from whatever beliefs you had, and the Democratic Party are hurting people's pockets," she said. 

A recent report by Axios, entitled "The Great Realignment," details a Democratic Party that is becoming more elite and "a little more white," as inroads in a number of ethnic groups for Republicans could turn the tide in numerous Democratic-held swing seats.

Data shows that Democrats are "statistically tied" with Republicans in congressional ballots when it comes to the Hispanic vote. A surprise when compared to 2018, when the Democratic Party held a 47-point advantage with Hispanics in the midterms. 

Hector Olmo, a Puerto Rican retired police officer living in New Jersey also believes Democrats are embracing socialist ideas and turning away Hispanic voters.  

"We moved here to be independent and to be our own thinkers and be as successful as we want," Olmo told Fox News. "With socialism, where everybody’s on an equal table--it's a nice idea, but it doesn't work."

Olmo has voted Republican for the majority of his life, in large part due to his upbringing with immigrant parents. 

"Something that my dad always told me was that Democrats will assist their constituents and help the needy and help the lower class but will never provide them enough to be more successful than them." 

In contrast, Olmo said Republicans provide people "with the ability to be as successful as they wanted to, not just a handout," and pointed to the historically low minority unemployment rate under President Trump. 

Olmo said Democrats use issues that should not be politicized, like abortion, as a means to obscure other political failures.

During his 28 years serving as a police officer, Olmo said he witnessed firsthand how Democratic policies like bail reform corroded the institution of law enforcement.

"It's just been a downward spiral," he said, citing skyrocketing inflation, record high gas prices, and rising crime rates across major U.S. cities. "There’s been no self-correction." 

Like Lorenzo, he believes the economic and social tolls stemming from Democratic policies will result in voters becoming more informed and discerning when casting their ballot. 

"When you hit somebody's pocketbook, their freedoms, and their stuff, they're going to pause and say, ‘hey, what's going on here?’

Chris Formoso, a Cuban-American living in Florida said Democrats have lost touch with the working class, including Hispanics. 

"They focus on the wrong topics," Formoso told Fox News. "I keep hearing about January 6th, I keep hearing about gender identity and the importance of that, and of oppression and racism. I'm a minority-- I don't feel any of that," he said. 

"What I care about is keeping things affordable for me and my family," the father of four said. 

Formoso works as a financial manager in the Miami-Dade area. His parents fled Cuba for the U.S. in hopes of a better life after Fidel Castro rose to prominence. 

An independent voter who supported Gary Johnson in 2016 and reluctantly voted for Donald Trump in 2020, Formoso said he finds himself aligning more with Republicans as Democratic priorities grow increasingly out-of-touch.

"Pretty much every Hispanic that I know…we only care about working hard, family values, Latino justice, common sense things that any society should be promoting," Formoso told Fox News. "I feel the Democrats somehow have fallen down this black hole where they seem to be against the nuclear family."

Citing the economy and general safety as his top priorities, he criticized the Democratic party for embracing strict lockdown policies which he blames for causing serious economic disruption and putting millions out of work. 

"Everything that's wrong with the economy, they blame it on the Putin tax hike. They blame it on Republicans not passing more spending bills that would only drive inflation even higher. They don't make any sense," Formoso said. 

"I don't see how anyone can vote for these people to stay in power and continue down this road that's ruining the country."

Formoso said there is not one Democratic figure being discussed as a potential 2024 presidential candidate he would consider voting for. 

"They've got to change their perspective on society and on life, because right now they're on the wrong path."

All three agreed the minority vote, including Hispanics, will shift right in the upcoming midterms.

"I do think they're going to vote conservative," Formoso about Hispanic voters. "There is no way we could vote for them, especially when Republicans have been more focused on the on the issues that matter."

Olmo said he believes minorities and all voters will sway heavily to the right in the upcoming elections. 

"The Democrats really haven't shown an answer to correct or fix anything," he said. 

"I pray that the Republican Party wins the majority," said Lorenzo. "I hope there's a ‘red wave.’"
