Here is a link to FEC’s letter — docquery.fec.gov/…

Some totals don’t match.
Contributions more than legally allowed limit — the letter has a list of people who have contributed above the limit.
Foreign contributions.
Contributions from unregistered organizations.

Shouldn’t be much of a problem though — if the campaign returns these contributions soon.

From Jon Ralston’s USA Today article — www.usatoday.com/…

But the caucuses, which Clinton won by about 5 percentage points, also cemented Prince Harry as a man Machiavelli would have bowed to, a man with one eye who still sees the field better and is still more dangerous, effective and cunning than any pol the state (the country?) has ever seen.

Hold your breath, take a breath & brace yourself for what Machiavelli did in Nevada. You wouldn’t believe it. He actually called the casino bosses and asked them to give the employees time off to participate in the caucuses. Oh, the abomination! How can this be tolerated? What if Machiavelli repeats this same GOTV in the generals also?

Looks like the Empress has no clothes if she cannot win without the help of Machiavelli’s nasty GOTV. The Clinton machine is breaking down. This is what Clinton-Panic looks like — unleashing Machiavellian GOTV on the unsuspecting public.

How Winston Churchill's policies killed 3 million Indians in the Bengal Famine

From content.time.com/…

In 1943, some 3 million brown-skinned subjects of the Raj died in the Bengal famine, one of history's worst. Mukerjee delves into official documents and oral accounts of survivors to paint a horrifying portrait of how Churchill, as part of the Western war effort, ordered the diversion of food from starving Indians to already well-supplied British soldiers and stockpiles in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, including Greece and Yugoslavia. And he did so with a churlishness that cannot be excused on grounds of policy: Churchill's only response to a telegram from the government in Delhi about people perishing in the famine was to ask why Gandhi hadn't died yet.

As Mukerjee's accounts demonstrate, some of India's grain was also exported to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to meet needs there, even though the island wasn't experiencing the same hardship; Australian wheat sailed past Indian cities (where the bodies of those who had died of starvation littered the streets) to depots in the Mediterranean and the Balkans; and offers of American and Canadian food aid were turned down. India was not permitted to use its own sterling reserves, or indeed its own ships, to import food. And because the British government paid inflated prices in the open market to ensure supplies, grain became unaffordable for ordinary Indians. Lord Wavell, appointed Viceroy of India that fateful year, considered the Churchill government's attitude to India "negligent, hostile and contemptuous."

Another review of Mukerjee’s book — southasiarev.wordpress.com/…

Her subject is the 1943 famine that ravaged India for over a year, snuffing out the lives of 3 million people. Mukerjee argues that the figure should be adjusted upwards to over 5 million. When thinking about the millions of dead resulting from World War II, many atrocities come to mind: the 6 million Jews killed in the concentration camps, half a million Roma, 20 million Soviet citizens, 8 million Chinese, to name only some examples. Not so well-known, especially to people from the imperialist citadels, are those who suffered and died from what Mukerjee calls the “man-made” famine in India, a human catastrophe that could have been easily prevented if Churchill had not refused to assign available ships from Australia to carry their surplus grain to the Bengal region.

Hillary leads 41.5 -28.1 in new Oklahoma poll

On the Democratic side, former first lady Hillary Clinton led with 41.5 percent while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders garnered 28.1 percent. But a large percentage of Democratic and independent voters still haven't settled on a candidate, with 28.1 percent saying they remain undecided just weeks before Oklahoma's March 1 primary election.

On the Democratic side, the poll suggests younger voters preferred Sanders while older voters leaned toward Clinton, Shapard said. Sanders had 50 percent support among voters aged 18-35, while Clinton had just 12.5 percent support in that category. Another 37.5 percent of voters ages 18-35 said they were undecided.

But Clinton beat Sanders in every other age category. Her support was strongest among Democratic and independent voters age 65 and older, where 50.3 percent of voters said they planned to support Clinton, while just 21.3 percent said they planned to support Sanders and 28.3 percent remained undecided.

But Clinton held an edge among registered Democrats, with 46 percent to Sanders' 26.5 percent.

About 51 percent of female Democratic and independent voters said they planned to support Clinton. Sanders held just 16.8 percent support among women, and 32.1 percent said they were undecided.

Stop Bernie-Splaining to Black Voters

From the Times — www.nytimes.com/…

If only black people knew more, understood better, where the candidates stood — now and over their lifetimes — they would make a better choice, the right choice. The level of condescension in these comments is staggering.

For instance, Sanders says that his agenda will require a Congress-flipping political revolution of like-minded voters, but so far, that revolution has yet to materialize. Just as in Iowa, in New Hampshire there were more voters — or caucusgoers — making choices in the Republican contest than in the Democratic one. That, so far, sounds more like a Republican revolution. If that trend holds for the rest of the primary season and into the general election, not only would Democrats not be likely pick up congressional seats, they could lose more of them.

That’s a stubborn fact emerging — a reality — and it is one that all voters, including black ones, shouldn’t be simply told to discount.

From the Post

In 2008, there were 35(!) states that were either solidly or leaning Democratic, five solid or leaning Republican and 10 judged as competitive. The following year there were 33 Democratic states, 12 competitive states and, still, five Republican ones.

Now

Twenty states are either solidly Republican or leaning Republican, while just 14 are solidly or leaning Democratic. The remaining 16 are competitive between the two parties.

From 2008 to 2015, Democrats went from a 30-state lead to a six-state deficit when it comes to states solidly or leaning their way on party affiliation. That is simply stunning.

Republicans have their largest House majority since World War II, having retaken the majority in the 2010 election. They hold a four-seat majority in the Senate, having seized control of the world's greatest deliberative body in the 2014 midterms.

At the state level, Republicans have 31 governorships -- almost two-thirds of all the governor's mansions in the country. Republicans are even more dominant at the state legislative level; the GOP holds total control over 30 of the 50 states' legislatures and has partial control in another eight states -- meaning that more than three-quarters of the country's state legislatures are controlled by the GOP.

This does not bode well for the general!

Are the crowds at rallies a predictor for anything?

Look at the massive difference in the crowds. But both of them got 50%. Do crowds at rallies matter? I guess people don’t know Bernie and hence want to take a look at him. While most people know Hillary very well and people who know they are going to vote for her, don’t really see a point in attending rallies.
