Glendale Extremist Network and why we exist.

This weekend a joint effort of the LA County GOP and its supposedly younger sibling the LA county "Young" Republicans led a local canvassing effort to push for No votes on Prop 50. Reminder: Prop 50 is California's answer to Texas's corrupt n plan to re-district the state to create more Republican-led districts and tip the scales in Congress. (Texas didn't even put the issue to voters, they just redistricted). An assortment of elder millennials claim to have knocked 1000 door

Hey! We have a critical election coming u p November 4th. Haven't figured out whether to vote YES or NO on Prop 50? We think that highlighting some of the Prop 50 opponents will help you decide. A special shout-out to GUSD Parents [sic] Voices, who are helping their very confused followers by debunking their own envelope hole conspiracies and reminding people that voting online is not a thing. (It's almost like being a fascist makes it harder to turnout voters!) BTW: at leas

Vartain Gharpetian and Lisa Cusack join in a vigil in Glendale for a slain rightwing podcaster.

With fascist majorities in the House, Senate, Supreme Court and Presidency, our local extremists continue to whine about their favorite usual topics -women, bike lanes, affordable housing, etc. Anything to detract from the Epstein situation, right? Trump's failure to honor his campaign promise to "release the Epstein files" about the notorious sexual abuser seems to have driven a wedge between our extremists and their dear leader.

Like a virus, Jordan Henry will never really go away-- he'll just morph into new, more aggressive forms, timed to emerge in perfect sync with local political campaign season. Some or all of these events tend to signal the beginning of another public humiliation ritual for Jordan: ranting at public meetings, guesting on niche nazi-adjacent podcasts, and/or launching a new lawsuit. Well, we're a year out from the next local election, so of course, in the last couple weeks w

Dana Point based attorney Craig P. Alexander makes his living suing cities, school districts and the state of California in cases related...

The MAGA folks now control all three branches of the Federal government. As they gut everything from weather services to humanitarian aid to Armenia, our local MAGA are already focused on growing their ranks for 2026 elections. Self-described MAGA "Mama Bear" Lisa Begakis Cusack has been attempting to grow her following in Glendale. Since "fleeing" Los Angeles for Glendale in 2021 because she was terrified of "riots" and "homeless people" she quickly ingratiated herself into

An update on Glendale's worst people.

Local normal man Jordan Henry took time to record his harassment of a student poll worker and her supervisor this Sunday. In what may be...

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

Desperate for attention and eager to turn out a yuge crowd in a blue state to stoke rumors that CA's election was stolen by "illegals"...

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

Fox News gadfly and public comment grandstander A lex Balekian is NOT ANGRY. ANCA has endorsed Laura Friedman for Congress , a normal and experienced politician (who actually contributes to the well-being of her Glendale constituents) instead of the right-wing narcissist who has attacked public schools and city council with false claims in order to launch his own political career. It's all just TOO MUCH for Queen Alex. In his latest Instagram Reel, Balekian scolds his viewer

At this week's school board meeting in Glendale Unified, a woman named Karen Nelson got up to give a public comment. Truth. In her public comment, Karen Nelson wanted to know about a book - parts of which had been used in a Women's Studies elective at the high school level. Perhaps Karen Nelson was following the lead of GUSD Parents [sic] Voices, who last month misleadingly posted book excerpts that were NOT used in GUSD's high school elective in 2022-23 and 2023-24 in a sad

Alex Balekian for Congress has continued to present himself as a moderate on the campaign trail. Maybe he's not fooling anyone, because campaign coverage from his recent campaign event featured...four people, plus his husband, notable gay rights advocate James Clarke. Local "GUSD Parents [sic] Voices" co-founder Ani Torosyan was also there, along with Balekian superfan Ani B. (That big "Alex for CA30" sign does pop, too bad people are standing in front of it so nobody scrol

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

Know your local anti-LGBTQ+ extremists. Funded by dark money funneled through GOP organizations, they are showing up at Pride events.
