James Clarke is an Author
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

Nobody Works Harder to NOT Get Endorsements than Alex Balekian
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

Karen Nelson Has Questions
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

Court Goes Scorched Earth on Scorchy Ray Shelton's Lawsuit Against GUSD
Scorchy Ray Shelton, disgraced swastika-wielding public school retiree, finally got an update to his legal case against Glendale Unified School District. Scorchy Ray with his smirk, swastika, and Jordan Henry To put it simply, his case was a stunt from the beginning. Shelton's lawyers (David Pivtorak) failed to provide the judge's required additional clarifications in additional filings-- not even with the 11th hour addition of fired activist teacher Jessica Tapia's Advocates

Alex Balekian for Congress Hosts Campaign Event With Four Friends
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

There's Something About Maro (Yacoubian)
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

Outsider Weirdos and Local Freaks Protest Bikes at Glendale City Council With Support from Najarian and Gharpetian.
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

James Clarke Hates You and Loves Dangerous Streets
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

'Evict Elen' Stunt Exposed as Farce (Someone Did Get Paid Though)
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

Ara Najarian Wants City to Pay his Son; Ray Shelton Has One Last Chance
Ara Najarian's city council tantrum is now officially going to cost Glendale taxpayers money. On July 1st, Najarian filed suit against the City of Glendale for not making him ceremonial mayor for a fifth time. This means the City Attorney will have to be paid for their time defending the case out of the city's general fund. Who needs parks when you can have spurious lawsuits! Conveniently, Ara Najarian's son will be on the payroll for legal fees defending his daddy. The trial
