Are they actually trying to kill me for real? Surely this must be some kind of a sick joke.
I assure you that ANYONE remotely affiliated with the Trump Crime Family Syndicate is the very LAST thing I want to see parading around my hospital room for a photo op.
I'm sure Melania cares as much about American Healthcare as she does about immigration or CyberBullying.
Stop pretending to care about the welfare of children, the sick, the wounded, the victims of murder and sexual violence.
We see you. We ALL see you. And we know exactly who and what you are. You are not the Kennedy's for Christ's sake. You are a minor but only temporary inconvenience costing us millionseach weekend and considerably more in public safety and community cohesiveness.
Not to worry. You won't be around for long. He'll get rid of you like all the rest.
No sympathy for Melania. She knew what she was signing up for.
I've been trying to get the Palm Beach Sheriff or West Palm Police to bring me a therapy pet on National Puppy Day at the hospital.
On the bright side, Melania didn't show up here pretending to give a fuck about people stuck in the hospital over the holidays for a photo op.
I can assure you that she doesn't want to hear anything I have to say after four months and one documentary later about the American Healthcare System or Trump's plan to privatize the VA.
I've tried unsuccessfully too many times to turn a PDF file into a word document so I can edit and submit for academic publication.
Purchased apps but this has been taken offline because Yahoo purchased the rights from a third party and now I can no longer collect residuals or payment and other people are using my work and making profits from my intellectual property.
Due to pending litigation, the only way I can collect compensation or payment is by suing them.
They sold 67,000 copies and used my work in an insurance advert which just makes me insanely ragey.
I've tried countless apps and filed for DMCA protection but they wanted $199 to assist me.
We are talking quite a bit of content and it could be a decent amount of money that would really help me make ends meet as I recover from surgery and currently unable to work.
Can maybe someone just do it for me? Or suggest a specific app since the only way I know how to document that I am the original author is by making it into a PDF and sending the files to iBooks.
Trump has left Palm Beach for Washington managing to avoid massive protests and demonstrations in Washington, Florida, and took back roads home from Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach Saturday, March 24, 2018 to avoid protestors outside of Mar-A-Lago.
Trump stayed silent on Gun Violence, the NRA, School Shootings, avoided mass protests across the state, country and world to avoid protestors gathering worldwide standing in solidarity against gun violence.
Trump left Palm Beach International Airport for Washington moments ago leaving Melania and Barron behind in Palm Beach, Florida.
This leaves most of Palm Beach, Singer Island, A1A, Southern Bridge and Southern Boulevard and parts of West Palm Beach inaccessible and at high risk for terrorism including my home.
Palm Beach has requested additional funding from Homeland Security who works in coordination with Palm Beach Sheriff, Secret Service, Palm Beach Police, the United States Coast Guard, requesting be designated as a High Risk Critical Asset for Terrorism (including my own street) leaving much of Palm Beach and Singer Island streets, air traffic and local businesses inaccessible until further notice.
This will cost our city MILLIONS for in unreimbursed Security costs and my neighbors and I get to pick up the cost.
Thousands rally for gun reform across from Mar-a-Lago
POTUS in town with family
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —
Thousands in West Palm Beach took to the streets for a 'March For Our Lives' rally.
"I'm a grandma and I would hate to see that my grandchild is dropped off at school and I pick up a body at the end of the day. I think that we need to have sensible gun laws," said Amelia Rose, a grandmother of four.
"Everybody has their rights. There second amendment rights, but it's to the point, where you know we're scared to be at our schools. We're scared to go to church. We're scared to do so many things outside and it affects everybody, " said Keyanna Diaz, a sophomore at G-Star School of the Arts.
President Donald Trump may have not been in Washington, D.C., but he still felt the impacts in West Palm Beach.
Many demonstrators gathered at Dreher Park near I-95, afterwards picketed down Southern Boulevard chanting and wearing t-shirts until they reached the foot of the Flagler Bridge.
As a result, Trump's motorcade was forced to take another route home, when leaving Trump International Golf Club.
His supporters stood by at the rally held in opposition.
Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office closed off the entrance to bridge, but stood by to keep the peace.
"I'm not against guns or gun ownership but we have to regulate it. Gun control to a lot of people, a lot of people misinterpret it thst were going to take away our guns. I just don't view it that way," said Steven Lee.
President Donald Trump is expected to depart Sunday evening without First Lady Melania, ABC News reports.
This news comes as 60-minutes on CBS is set to air an interview with Stormy Daniels, a porn star, who claims she had an affair with Trump while Melania was pregnant with their son Barron.
My friend managed to hug me in my hospital bed even without our "Free Hug" shirts on and totally made my day!! We met through Trained Peacekeepers in Palm Beach Co deescalating violence from NRA Trump agitators. Already on the ballot and my top choice for @pbcgov #VoteBlue
I was admitted and discharged five times since I first woke up paralyzed early January trying to get a neurological consult.
Was told in no uncertain terms, there neurosurgeon and have been told "there's no neurologist or [137/81] neurosurgeon in this hospital. Then I'm told I have to see one outpatient and they discharge me to home without a wheelchair, walker, transportation, a diagnosis or any kind of treatment plan and tell me if I don't leave I'm responsible for the entire bill.
When I explain to them that I can't walk they offer no suggestions and tell me to take a taxi and go to another hospital because I'm too young for inpatient rehab and that my insurance won't pay for transportation because "you have bad insurance."
They TELL me they requested a walker or services or a medical surgical transfer but that it has been denied and that I have no rights to appeal.
WUT?
I've worked in many capacities as a private and government contractor and have been studying, auditing, advising, writing and advocating for myself and others and have served twice as an expert witness on health care appeals.
I'm not going to post my curriculum vitae here and I shouldn't have to but I've NEVER heard such a ridiculous line of bullshit in my life and I'm too furious and weak to fight the system right now.
But you don't have to be a fùcking scientist to google my name and figure out that I might not be the best person to fuck with for too long while on steroids before I take this whole god damn hospital, insurance company (and YES, the corrupt piece of shit Governor too) down with me.
This isn't just a lawsuit waiting to happen, it's a god damned revolution.
I've done it before and I'll do again. I'm not in this alone, and neither are the millions of Americans who are forced into medical bankruptcy, permanent disability or unable to navigate or access appropriate, affordable, accessible, medically necessary lifesaving medical care in the richest country on earth.
Call congress, call me, call your reps!! Now is not the time to sit back and be complacent.
I'm going to need some time to heal. This experience has broken me in ways I did not see coming but I promise you, I will not stop fighting and I beg you to keep doing the same.
Thank you for all of the love, support, patience and kindness. Having kind, caring people reach out to me across the world has made all the difference. More than you could possibly know.
I refuse to sit back and watch all the work I've done and the work of so many others go unnoticed.

The hack that forced Baltimore's 911 dispatch system to be temporarily shut down over the weekend was a ransomware attack, city officials said Wednesday.
Such attacks — another of which occurred in Atlanta last week — take over parts of private or municipal computer networks and then demand payment, or ransom, for their release.
Frank Johnson, chief information officer in the Mayor's Office of Information Technology, said he was not aware of any specific ransom request made by the hackers of Baltimore's network, but federal authorities are investigating.
"The systems and the software and the files are all being investigated by the FBI right now," Johnson said.
No personal data of city residents was compromised, he added.
Dave Fitz, an FBI spokesman, could not be reached Wednesday. On Tuesday, Fitz said the agency was aware of the breach and providing assistance to the city, but otherwise declined to comment.
The attack infiltrated a server that runs the city's computer-aided dispatch, or CAD, system for 911 and 311 calls. The system automatically populates 911 callers' locations on maps and dispatches the closest emergency responders there more seamlessly than is possible with manual dispatching. It also relays information to first responders in some cases and logs information for data retention and records.
The breach shut down the CAD system from Sunday morning until Monday morning, forcing the city to revert to manual dispatching during that time. While the city's 911 calls are normally recorded online on Open Baltimore, the city dispatch logs stopped recording them at 9:54 a.m. Sunday and didn't resume recording them again until 7:42 a.m. Monday.
Johnson said the attack was made possible after a city information technology team troubleshooting a separate communications issue with the server inadvertently changed a firewall and left a port, or a channel to the internet, open for about 24 hours, and hackers who were likely running automated scans of networks looking for such vulnerabilities found it and gained access.
"I don't know what else to call it but a self-inflicted wound," Johnson said. "The bad guys did not get in on their own without the help of someone inadvertently leaving the door open."
Once the "limited breach" was identified, city information technology crews "were able to successfully isolate the threat and ensure that no harm was done to other servers or systems" on the city's network, Johnson said. And once "all systems were properly vetted, CAD was brought back online."
Johnson said the city "continues to work with its federal partners to determine the source of the intrusion."
The Baltimore hack comes amid increasing hacking of municipal systems across the country, and follows one in Atlanta last week that paralyzed that city's online bill payment system, with hackers demanding a $51,000 payment in bitcoin to unlock it. That attack occurred Thursday, and Atlanta employees only turned their computers back on Tuesday.
Johnson said his office works diligently to prevent cyber attacks, and is looking to invest more in safeguarding its networks.
Baltimore also faced cyber attacks during the unrest in 2015, when its website was taken offline. Johnson said he was unaware of any other successful attacks on the city's networks. He said the city would be obligated to disclose any attacks that compromised residents' personal information, health information or crime data.
Johnson said he feels the city fared pretty well recovering from the breach once it was identified, but that he did not want to go into detail about what was done lest he expose the city to more attacks.
The city has a $2.5 million contract with the software company TriTech Software Systems to maintain its CAD software and provide "technical support services to ensure the functional integrity" of the city's CAD system.
Scott MacDonald, TriTech's vice president of public safety strategy, said the company worked with city IT personnel to shut down the CAD software after the attack. The breach was not related to the company's software, MacDonald said.
"When we were alerted of it, it was reported that the server had some sort of compromise," he said. "Our techs connected and worked with the IT staff there, and the CAD system was taken down manually, in combination between our staff and theirs, while the servers could be troubleshooted by the city."
Here Are The Clever Means Russia Used To Hack The Energy Industry
Varistor60
500kV 3-phase transmission lines in Washington State. These types of lines transmit most of our electricity over large distances. Hacking into the control of these lines, or the plants that generate the electricity, could lead to major societal disruption. Russia seems ready to do just that.
Last July, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security revealed that Russian hackers were behind cyber intrusions into the U.S. energy power grid. The intrusion illustrated the severe threat that hackers pose to our most critical industries - energy, finance, healthcare, manufacturing and transportation.
The DHS and FBI downplayed the danger in a joint statement: "There is no indication of a threat to public safety, as any potential impact appears to be limited to administrative and business networks."
In 2015, Russia tested this on the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. These tools were specifically developed to disrupt electric power grids and it blacked out 225,000 people in the Ukraine.
One might wonder what is Russia's end game for this kind of attack. To hurt us financially? To show us how vulnerable we are? In preparation for a more sinister attack?
Is it to punish America for anti-Russian policies? The White House expelled 60 Russians from the United States this week, joining western allies in response to Russia's poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain with what was a banned chemical weapon.
Raytheon
Raytheon's Global Cyber Security Operations Center. Raytheon's Mark Orlando breaks down the basics of the cyberattacks by Russia on our energy sector.
When DHS and FBI dissected the hackers' tradecraft, it turned out to be very clever indeed. Mark Orlando, Chief Technology Officer for cyber services at Raytheon, broke down the particulars of why the new world of hacking works so well in America.
One of the attackers' main strategies is to divide targets into two groups - intended targets which are the energy companies themselves, and staging targets like vendors, suppliers, even trade journals and industry websites.
Instead of going straight to the larger and better-protected targets, like a $60 billion energy company with a cyber security department, the hackers worked their way into the smaller and less secure companies' networks like those that supply the big ones with smaller equipment. Or the local utilities that are partnered with them. Local regulators may also have good access.
When the hackers get into those systems, they use that access to gather intelligence and set traps for the larger company.
This targeting of the supply chain partners is brilliant. The manufacturer of natural gas turbines that supply a gas power plant would have great access to the plant's systems and management, would probably have password access, and would not be questioned very hard.
'It's important to raise awareness,' says Orlando. 'These details, if taken by themselves, might not seem that impactful. When presented with the entire story, we can see it was part of a larger, sustained campaign, potentially causing a lot of damage.'
This is a long-term strategy that takes patience – just the kind of thing traditional espionage has perfected over the last century.
America seems to be getting the message. A recent survey from Raytheon and Ponemon showed that two-thirds of cyber security executives and chief information security officers in America, Europe and the Middle East believe cyber extortion, such as ransomware and data breaches, will increase in frequency and payout.
The traps themselves are pretty imaginative. Many are based in social media. No one would suspect a cute kitten video of hiding malware. But they do. And if your co-worker is a kitten-nut, they may not hesitate to download that video without thinking that it is a trap.
Rupert's Cat Pics
Cute kitten photos and videos are a clever way to introduce malware into a company's cyberspace. Who doesn't like kittens?
'The weakness in cybersecurity are the users themselves, those that are not necessarily computer-savvy,' says Quinn Mockler, a young cyber security researcher at Columbia Basin College in the Tri-Cities Washington near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. 'People overall need better awareness of cyber security. Otherwise, we will be open to constant attack.'
In one example discussed by Orlando, the attackers found a harmless-looking photo on one company's human resources site that contained valuable information - the manufacturer and model of a certain piece of control-systems equipment.
That provided critical information on how the plant runs and set up the next phase of the attack - spear phishing – which is the use of customized, highly deceptive emails designed to deliver malware. Using resumés, curricula vitae, policy documents and other common messages, the hackers made reference to these control systems creating plausible, well-informed emails likely to fool someone into opening a malware-laced attachment.
One was an invitation to a company New Year's Eve party.
Another common method used to infiltrate is called a watering-hole attack which plants malicious code in a place the targets trust, then waits for them to come pick it up.
In the energy-sector attack, DHS and FBI found that watering holes included trade publications and informational websites that dealt with matters specific to the energy industry. The hackers corrupted those sites and altered them to contain malicious content. The targets saw no reason to suspect anything was wrong when they visited them.
ANS EWS
Fake Office Christmas Party invitations are a great way to spear phish which is the use of customized deceptive emails designed to deliver malware. Fortunately, when I responded to this invitation last December, it was real.
'It's a low-complexity, low-effort, high-yield attack,' Orlando says. 'With relatively little effort, you can target lots and lots of users.' The best defense, he says, is for a company to monitor its own networks for signs that a user may have unwittingly stumbled into a watering-hole.
Much of the malware in the energy-sector attack was designed to capture user credentials, or the digital identity of someone authorized to use a target network. Credential harvesting includes usernames and passwords, hashes or a computer's digital signature, often stolen through tricking someone at a false login page for a familiar site.
The hackers' spear phishing emails contained documents that ordered the target's computer to retrieve data from a server – one the hackers either owned themselves, or had commandeered. Once the hackers had the target's credentials, they could apply techniques to reveal the password in plain text.
Requiring multiple modes of authentication to sign in, such as a thumbprint or a security token code, is the best way to thwart this type of attack.
Hackers imitated login pages themselves, planting a link that redirected users to a page whose 'username' and 'password' fields fed credentials straight to them. Orlando notes, 'If I can come into your environment using authorized credentials, detecting that just became exponentially more difficult.'
There are two main lessons from the power-grid hack, Orlando says. First, businesses should know that small hacking attempts like suspicious emails are often part of a larger campaign. Also, they should understand that truly cyber-secure businesses look beyond their own networks. Like tracking the spread of a new Flu virus.
'Your network isn't just your network. It's your network, plus your trusted partners, plus your suppliers,' he says. 'If you're not mitigating risk across the entire cyber ecosystem, you're potentially missing a very large exposure to your business.'
Since smaller companies are the hacker's first stop on the way to the bigger targets, Orlando recommends monitoring computer networks for unusual activity, installing security patches regularly, developing a response plan to disclose breaches and limit damage, and communicate up and down the supply chain on cyber security.
Data diodes, air gaps, field programmable gate arrays – all the sophisticated approaches to cyber security that the nuclear and defense industries use – eventually need to be part of everyone's defense.
But as Orlando summed up, the daunting new reality in modern cyber security is that a company's cyber defenses are only as strong as the defenses of everyone connected to it.

My dad told me when I was in college that his decision to take a case or defend a client is not based on whether the defendant is innocent or guilty.
He explained that as a criminal defense attorney, his job is to provide the best legal defense possible, not to determine their guilt or innocence (technically, a trial doesn't result in an innocent verdict. If a client is acquitted, they are found not guilty.)
What my father does demand of his clients (and his children) is complete honesty. How can he provide the best possible defense unless he has all of the necessary facts and relevant information.
Knowing this about my dad, and knowing that Donald Trump lies so often that I'm not entirely certain that he knows he's doing it, I asked my dad several months ago if there was ANY amount of money Trump could offer him to get my dad on his defense team.
My dad didn't even need to think about it. He wouldn't defend Trump for all the money in the world!
Lawyers Explain Why It Might Be Smart Not To Have Donald Trump As A Client
"It is difficult for one to maintain one's appearance of being an ethical lawyer while trying to represent Donald Trump," a legal expert said.
By Igor Bobic and Eliot Nelson
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump seems to be having difficulty finding lawyers to represent him in the widening probe of Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Last week, Trump's lead attorney for the special counsel investigation, John Dowd, tendered his resignation, prompting a White House search that has yet to yield a suitable replacement. At least six lawyers in the last week have turned down an offer to represent the president.
Lawyers and legal experts say it's not hard to see why: Lawyers could place themselves at great risk by working for a client with a reputation for impulsiveness and an inability to heed advice, who tends to undercut legal strategy with haphazard public statements and an itchy Twitter finger and who, as a result, may not be worth the publicity and likely future business associated with representing a president of the United States.
"One of the things you always wonder about when you're asked to replace another lawyer is 'Why?'" said George Clark, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney specializing in legal ethics.
Clark noted that many lawyers endure guilty or ethically challenged clients ― the right to legal counsel being something attorneys strive to uphold ― but erratic clients are a whole different can of worms. Refusing to take advice from counsel, for example, is a common reason why lawyers drop clients.
Trump's difficulties with staffing his legal team come as special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is said to be entering a critical phase. While the president has publicly embraced the prospect of sitting down for an interview with the special counsel's team, Trump's lawyers have been divided on the subject. Dowd reportedly opposed it, and his departure clears a path to begin preparations for an interview.
Trump has, in recent days, also escalated his attacks against the Russia probe, leading many to speculate that Mueller's job itself could be in peril. Last week, the president ignored cautioning from his counsel and lashed out at Mueller by name for the first time.
Further complicating the search for lawyers is that representing Trump could present a conflict of interest, since the existing clients of high-profile and seasoned litigators may already be connected to individuals under investigation. Attorneys Joe diGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing, for example, were ultimately unable to represent the president as was previously announced, due to conflicts of interest with the case.
Robert Rizzi, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson who also teaches government ethics at Harvard Law School, declined to be interviewed for this story. But he too said there was a "good chance" he had represented or worked with many of the involved parties. Rizzi was one of a number of lawyers at prominent firms with large political practices who declined to comment to HuffPost for that reason.

Potential candidates for Trump's legal team are likely dissuaded by other factors, too ― such as the seemingly unending upheaval in the White House and among the Cabinet agencies.
"I think everybody would agree this is turmoil, chaos, confusion. It's not good for anything," Ted Olson, who served as solicitor general in President George W. Bush's administration and who recently declined White House entreaties to join Trump's legal team, said Monday during an interview on MSNBC. "We always believe that there should be an orderly process, and of course government is not clean or orderly ever, but this seems to be beyond normal."
Jed Shugerman, a law professor at Fordham University, said that representing Trump in the Mueller probe could also threaten one's professional reputation and may even put one in legal jeopardy.
Shugerman pointed to a recent episode involving Dowd and the circumstances surrounding the firing of then-national security adviser Michael Flynn. In December, Dowd claimed he drafted a tweet for the president's Twitter account that said: "I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI." The tweet seemed to indicate that Trump was aware that Flynn had lied to the FBI before firing him, an admission that could bolster a possible obstruction of justice case against the president.
Dowd's explanation for why he ― and not the president ― had authored the tweet may have exposed him to questions from the special counsel, as well.
"It is difficult for one to maintain one's appearance of being an ethical lawyer while trying to represent Donald Trump," Shugerman said. "Any lawyer who has observed those episodes is going to see that joining this team at this stage runs a risk to their professional lives."
