New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is not monkeying around when it comes to monkeypox … she just declared a disaster emergency for the entire state to curb the growing spread of the disease.
I am declaring a State Disaster Emergency to strengthen our ongoing efforts to confront the monkeypox outbreak.
This Executive Order enables us to respond more swiftly, and allows health care professionals to take additional steps that will help get more New Yorkers vaccinated.
— Governor Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) July 30, 2022

On Friday night, Hochul tweeted the announcement, highlighting that 1 in 4 monkeypox cases in the U.S. originate in New York so, therefore, she wants to generate a faster response to combat the virus and get more people vaccinated.
Her announcement comes just one day after the New York State Commissioner of Health called monkeypox an “imminent threat to public health.”
Although the viral disease is almost never fatal, it can spread across the body, forming rashes and lesions on extremities and genitals.
New York and California are at the top of the list of states with the most recorded cases of monkeypox … New York has 1,345 cases and California is second with 799, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hochul’s executive order allows for EMS personnel, pharmacists, midwives, physicians and certified nurse practitioners to administer vaccinations.
The governor said Thursday that New York was stocking up on monkeypox vaccines with an influx of 110,000 additional doses from the feds, bolstering its stockpile to 170,000.

Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Had Bipolar Episode Days Before ESPN Arrest, Cops Say

Cops say Aaron Hernandez‘s brother, Dennis “D.J.” Hernandez, experienced a bipolar episode less than three weeks before his ESPN arrest … one that resulted in a wild police chase through Connecticut roadways.
It all allegedly went down on March 8 — just 15 days before he was accused of hurling a brick at ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol — when cops say they attempted to stop D.J. in his silver Hyundai as he was driving through Cheshire.
According to the Cheshire Police Department, D.J. was driving erratically and at high rates of speed — at one point traveling through grass fields in front of the Cheshire Correctional Institution.
But, police say when they attempted to pull him over … D.J. blew through a red light and lost officers.
According to police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, cops made contact with D.J.’s mother — Terri Hernandez — a short time later … and they say she told them the 36-year-old former UConn football player had “been acting very strange and she believed he needed to be mentally evaluated at a hospital.”
Eventually, police documents show, the Bristol Police Dept. was able to take D.J. into custody “after a brief foot chase.” Cops said in the docs D.J. was having a bipolar episode … and told them he had been driving all over Connecticut trying to get arrested because “he no longer wanted to stay at his mom’s house.”
Cops say he was committed to the Bristol Hospital on a Police Emergency Examination Request.

Aaron Hernandez’s Brother Arrested For Allegedly Throwing Brick At ESPN Headquarters
D.J. — who changed his name to Jonathan after Aaron’s murder conviction — was ultimately hit with five criminal charges over the incident, including reckless driving and engaging police in pursuit. He’s due in court for a hearing on the matter in mid-April.
As we reported, on March 23, just over two weeks following the March 8 incident, D.J. was arrested again after he allegedly threw a white bag that contained a brick and a handwritten note at ESPN’s campus.
He’s facing a charge of breach of peace in that case — with a court date slated for early April.

2 lovers have officially become 1 with the help of a famous drug-sniffing black bear — and we’ve got the wedding day photos so you can bear witness to the special occasion.
TMZ broke the story, Kentucky natives Alexandra and Armando were set to say “I Do” Monday at the KY for KY Fun Mall in Lexington … and these pics from inside the venue show Cocaine Bear makin’ quite the impression as the ceremony kicks off.
C.B. even dressed up for the monumental occasion — swapping out his raccoon-skin headwear for a top hat … classy move, Pablo Escobear!
As we reported, the owner of the museum where the stuffed bear resides was all for the unorthodox ceremony — telling Roadside America, “As long as you feel that the person marrying you — like Cocaine Bear — has the authority, then that marriage can be binding here in Kentucky.”
BTW — looks like the flick of the same name was gettin’ some promotion on the big day … as you know, the 2023 movie is loosely based on that exact bear that died in 1985 after ingesting a BUNCH of cocaine dropped from a plane piloted by convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton.
Unclear if those in attendance got any nose powder as a gift, but we know someone in the crowd who would be all over the stuff… congrats, Alexandra and Armando!

Sen. Rand Paul says a member of his staff was stabbed in broad daylight in Washington D.C. … resulting in what police are calling “life-threatening” injuries.
Kentucky’s U.S. Senator announced Monday the unnamed staffer was “brutally attacked” over the weekend and he and his wife are praying they make a speedy and complete recovery.
The Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department says officers responded to a report of a stabbing just before 5:30 PM Saturday night less than 1.5 miles from the U.S. Capitol and found a person suffering from stab wounds.
Police say the victim, who Rand says works for him, was taken to the hospital in life-threatening condition.
MPD also says officers arrested a 42-year-old man named Glynn Neal in connection with the alleged attack, charging him with assault with intent to kill.
No word yet on motive, but Sen. Paul says he’s “relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested.”
