Kaloostian and Krikorian: All Aboard the Rightwing Express (Glendale Elections)
Glendale City Council candidate Carolyn Kaloostian has flown under the radar so far during this election season. A quick look through social media suggests that she is part of the Alex Balekian and Lisa Cusack Glendale MAGA contingent. Like Balekian, she seems to be suggesting that being a doctor makes you a good city council candidate. Ah yes, working for a massive private healthcare system is EXACTLY like running local government! Like known MAGA extremists Balekian and C

Local Extremists Flail as Epstein Files Dominate
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.

Another Alex Balekian Meltdown; Najarian Loses Lawfare Suit Against His Own City
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

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

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

'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

James Clarke and Alex Balekian Double Down on anti-LGBTQ
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
