So why now? California ended up “with eight Democrat candidates and two GOP candidates in the primary, and depending on what poll you consult, it is possible that two Republican candidates might emerge as the two top primary winners, guaranteeing a Republican governor emerges in the general election. In other words, the distorted, undemocratic system installed in California by the Democrat majority is backfiring on them, and now they are scrambling to save themselves—and the only way to do that is to dilute or eliminate the support to one of the leading Democrat candidates, thereby kicking that support to another Democrat, thereby guaranteeing that at least one Democrat is on the ballot in November for the two-candidate general election. And Eric Swalwell is the designated fall guy.”
CHRISTIAN TOTO: Will Public Accept Sanitized Michael Biopic?
The April 24 release was slated to begin in 1993, when Jackson was first accused of sexually inappropriate contact with a minor.
Not anymore.
Those moments, and others allegedly shot for the movie, didn’t make the final cut, according to Variety. Nor did other problematic chapters of his life.
But the sequence with investigators who arrive at Neverland Ranch to search for evidence is one of many that were left on the cutting room floor. “Michael,” which Lionsgate will release in the United States on April 24, was supposed to explore the impact of the allegations on Jackson’s life, with much of its third act devoted to the scandal. But that finale was scrapped, along with any mention of the child molestation accusations, according to sources with knowledge of the production.
Why?
Variety ticks off two reasons. One, recent Jackson projects have done something similar, and the public outcry has been limited or non-existent.
Two, the legalese tied to the movie helped make this sanitized version possible.
The third, unofficial reason? Team Jackson had a heavy hand in the production and is invested in the film’s financial future. And the King of Pop’s, too.
Will the public cry foul or marinate in the memories? Those box office predictions suggest the latter.

“SO TO SUMMARIZE: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world’s emergency gas station and China’s cheap energy subsidy evaporated.”This is either the most elaborate coincidence in the history of geopolitics… or someone planned the sequence Venezuela -> Iran -> profits! I’ll let you figure out which one.”

GREAT MOMENTS IN HARD-HITTING INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM:
Tavares describes himself in his X profile as “Undisputed champion of East Bay politics. Author of East Bay Insiders, the must-read newsletter for East Bay political and local govt watchers.”
Guys, say it with me: Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines, and it all makes sense.
