RFK Jr strides into new controversy: hiking in sweltering Arizona … in jeans
Robert F Kennedy Jr has promoted contrarian ideas around issues such as vaccines but another, more sartorial, choice has also raised eyebrows – an insistence on wearing jeans while exercising. On Saturday, the US health secretary took a strenuous hike up Camelback Mountain, situated near Phoenix, Arizona. Despite the temperature rising above 90F (32C) on the morning of his hike – Phoenix hit 107F (41C) later that day – Kennedy conducted the hike in dark blue jeans, posing for pictures along the way in a sweat-drenched green T-shirt. The choice of jeans by the 71-year-old confused some of those who encountered him. 'It was about 92F, I think, temperature-wise, at that point, so very impressive for him to have done that at his age,' Matt Larson, a hiker who talked to Kennedy on the trail, told Fox 10. 'I remember thinking: 'That wouldn't be my choice of hiking apparel in this weather,' but you know, kinda a generational thing.' Larson said it was 'cool' to meet Kennedy but added: 'It is pretty risky to be hiking if you're not acclimated to our weather in the heat.' 'Bro is out here hiking that damn mountain in jeans and 110+ weather!?' one X user commented on the health secretary's post about the hike. Another wondered: 'Jeans? Phoenix? July?!?' Phoenix is known for its ferocious heat and has broken records in recent years for elevated temperatures which, like the rest of the US, are being fueled by the human-caused climate crisis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is part of Kennedy's department, recommends that people drink plenty of fluids, pace themselves and 'wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing and sunscreen' during periods of extreme heat. Heat is one of the largest weather-related killers in the US, with more than 2,300 people dying due to swelteringly hot days in 2023 alone, although the true number may be far higher. Kennedy, though, has shown himself to be an ardent devotee of denim. The vaccine sceptic has been videoed undertaking gym workouts shirtless and wearing jeans. In May, Kennedy even waded into a contaminated Washington creek wearing jeans and no top. In photos posted online, Kennedy was shown playing with his grandchildren in the creek and even submerging himself entirely under the water.

As a result, city officials have banned swimming in the creek due to the dangers posed to human, and pet, health. Kennedy, who previously revealed that a parasitic worm had 'got into my brain and ate a portion of it', is known for his unusual outdoor adventures. Prior to joining Donald Trump's administration and overseeing widespread cuts to health experts and services, Kennedy divulged that he once strapped a dead whale carcass to his car roof and, separately, accidentally killed a baby bear and then dumped the corpse in New York City's Central Park to make it appear it had been hit by a cyclist. The health and human services department was contacted for comment.

Pic: Man crucified Arizona pastor, planned to ‘execute' other Christian leaders
A suspect recently admitted to crucifying a pastor in Arizona and planning to 'execute' a total of 14 religious leaders. According to Fox 10, 51-year-old Adam Sheafe was arrested on June 24 after William 'Bill' Schonemann, a 76-year-old pastor at New River Bible Chapel, was found dead in his home in New River, Arizona, on April 28. The outlet noted that while the 51-year-old suspect has not yet been charged with murdering Schonemann, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is currently working on charging him. In an interview with 12 News, Sheafe claimed that Schonemann was the first of 14 Christian leaders in 10 different states that he intended to 'execute' and 'crucify.' Sheafe confirmed that all of the allegations against him 'are correct' and explained that the murder of Schonemann was motivated by his religious beliefs. The suspect described his plan as 'Operation First Commandment' and claimed that the Bible's New Testament teachings about Jesus Christ go against the biblical commandment that says, 'You shall have no other gods before me.' Sheafe stated, 'His commandments have been annulled by this character called Jesus, a human being who I believe is the son of Satan.'

'No, maybe I'm the one that sees truth, and maybe it's everybody else that is deceived by Satan,' Sheafe said. 'So if that makes me mentally ill for following what God says, then so be it.' Sheafe admitted that he traveled to Arizona, stole a vehicle, found Schonemann, and stalked the pastor outside his church. 'I saw that he had a Wednesday evening Bible study, so I sat there and waited for them to arrive, so that I could locate which one was the priest, and then I just followed him,' Sheafe stated. 'And then I returned on Sunday to execute and crucify him to this wall.' Sheafe also admitted that he traveled to Sedona and intended to kill two priests who served at the Chapel of the Holy Cross before he was arrested by Sedona Police Department officials. 'I set up a tent right next to that church so that I could watch those priests and identify what vehicles they were driving. And then I got into a high-speed chase with the police and escaped, got in a car crash, got out, ran up a mountain and escaped,' Sheafe said. 'And I was just determined to get those two priests.' According to Fox 10, Sheafe said he would 'absolutely not' apologize for his actions. Asked why he targeted Schonemann, the suspect said, 'Because he was first up. I was going to start in Phoenix and end in Phoenix, and circle the nation. 10 cities, 14 pastors, 10 states.' A picture of Sheafe has been shared on X, formerly Twitter.

Pastor's crucifixion murder suspect says on video he planned to kill 14 more
The man accused of brutally crucifying a rural Arizona pastor has not only admitted to the alleged crime, but said that he planned to kill more than a dozen other Christian leaders. Adam Sheafe, 51, told Fox 10 in an interview that he murdered Pastor Bill Schonemann, 76, head of the New River Bible Chapel in New River, Arizona. On April 28, Schonemann was found dead in his bed with his arms spread wide and pinned to the wall behind him. The bizarre display left the community reeling. Arizona Pastor Found Dead With Hands Pinned To Wall In Homicide At Home Sheafe's plan was to crucify 14 more Christian leaders of no particular denomination, he told FOX 10, ascribing his motive to a belief that Christian churches were leading their congregants astray by teaching them to follow Jesus, whom he says is a false God. He titled his mission "Operation First Commandment." Read On The Fox News App Sheafe was captured by police near the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona, where he planned to kill two priests, he said. Kansas Catholic Priest Was Shot 'Intentionally And With Premeditation,' Prosecutor Alleges "The day I was going to execute that priest, I tried getting into the back of his car. There was like a little lady on a bike that got in my way, and I was just going to get in the back seat and tell him to drive to his house," Sheafe said. He later defiantly refused to apologize for the alleged killing. In an interview with 12News, Sheafe explained further how he planned Schonemann's killing. "I saw that he had a Wednesday evening Bible study, so I sat there and waited for them to arrive, so that I could locate which one was the priest, and then I just followed him," Sheafe said. "And then I returned on Sunday to execute and crucify him to this wall." He also said he wanted to be executed. "Put me on death row, set the execution date for right now," Sheafe said. "The victims want it. The victim's families want it. I want it, and the taxpayers want it." Sheafe has been charged with first-degree murder in Maricopa County, but remains in the custody of the Coconino County Jail. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office told Fox News Digital that the case is under review, and that generally, any first-degree murder convict is subject to the death penalty. It is unclear whether he has an attorney, but Fox News Digital reached out to the public defender's article source: Pastor's crucifixion murder suspect says on video he planned to kill 14 more
