What a week! Candidate Alex Balekian has spent the homestretch of his "campaign" for Congress complaining at Glendale City Council meetings, wearing lederhosen, putting up Really Big Signs, and filling out ballots for grandmothers. While all three activities are legal, they are not the hallmark of a well-organized congressional campaign. Balekian demanded to have his WHOLE FACE shown on the camera so he could get his VIRAL MOMENT of another tirade against Laura Friedman (can

At long last, Guy Fawkes has been (maybe) unmasked! Contemporary English Extremist James Clarke appears to be the author behind blog posts on "Make Glendale Great Again," "Evict Elen," and "AlexforCA30" websites. How does James Clarke find the time? When not blogging vigorously, James Clarke enjoys reading books and riding bikes with his husband, Alex Balekian. Perhaps he enjoys light cosplay as a far-right Catholic extremist who tried to burn down British parliament in 160

Vartan Gharpetian's latest ramblings from Glendale City Council, plus a joyride in a vintage BMW.

Creepy sister Maro Yacoubian threw another tantrum at the August 13th Glendale City Council meeting. She will not rest until her brother Ara Najarian's honor is restored, and her deranged crusade is taking its toll. In the end it didn't matter and the vote passed 3-2 to move forward with the draft bike plan. Final approval will be up for a vote later this year. ( Vartan Gharpetian, who is "not against bike lanes" voted no along with his pal Najarian. What a guy!) Maro Yacoub

Reactionaries and fascists hate when the public doesn't buy their fear-mongering authoritarian vision, but why should democracy get in...

Local Glendale fascists and terminally online weirdos Ani Torosyan and James Clarke were joined by Nazi freaks from the Valley Manuk Grigorian and Narek Palyan in person as they expanded on their Holy War Against Bike Lanes™ at least week's Glendale City Council meeting. Because one of the more normal council members was out of town, and because Ara Najarian and Vartan Gharpetian cannot do the bare minimum required of reading council reports and agendas (or even the city's

Glendale Extremists lose their minds over bike lanes.

Local public comment troll , possible fundraising grifter , and election loser James Clarke has taken to Instagram to decry the proposed traffic calming project for a particularly dangerous stretch of road in Glendale. James Clarke lost to so many people in March 2024. It takes a special brandy of NIMBY to claim that preserving a small stretch of roadway is worth pedestrian and cyclist deaths. James Clarke is that hero! Clarke is bravely holding the line against Glendalian

The local extremist movement to "Evict Elen" (Mayor Elen Asatryan) after she was selected as Mayor this past April has completely lost steam. Publicly available sources show the Evict Elen domain was purchased in July 23, 2023, nearly 10 months before the mayor rotation was set to take place. Thinking ahead. Way ahead. However, the Evict Elen website IS still actively asking for donations! $2390 raised from this stunt. The Evict Elen site says that "cash or check" donations c

At the May 21st, 2024 Glendale City Council meeting, Vartan was in peak form as he tripped all over himself trying to oppose a much-needed t

World's Best Sister, Decider of Who is Really Armenian, and Full-Time Magnet School Recruiter Maro Yacoubian waited nearly 5 hours to give h

The self-hating gays of Glendale came out swinging at the May 21st Glendale City Council Meeting. You can watch their full comments below. James Clarke was mad about masks. (Maybe he's vaccinated?) James Clarke also said that because everyone sat in the council chambers together, any threats to LGBTQ+ safety in our schools or city are imaginary. Good to know! James Clarke is not a victim! Still on the campaign trail, Doctor Alex Balekian , the Ernst Rohm of Glendale, was also

Ara Najarian still thinks kids are learning about scissoring in GUSD public schools. Gross.

Back in May 2023, a man showed up to rant about "soviet-style" public schools at Glendale Unified Board. Meet Eric Adamian.

Ara Najarian endorsed Aneta Krpekyan, is passed over for mayor of Glendale.

Vartan Gharpetian lost his City Council seat in 2022. Vartan is back to try again in this Glendale election with Aneta Krpekyan's help!
