BREAKING: Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian Objects to Utility Box Art
You'd think that with ICE raids in Glendale paralyzing businesses and causing fear, Glendale's leaders would be focused on supporting the heavily immigrant population of our fair city. Instead, Ara Najarian took time during his comments tonight (hi Ara! You should be paying attention to the meeting, not reading this!) to call out utility box art that he finds "offensive." He wants all submissions for the program to come before council for approval. That the utility box art N

Queen Bee Ara Najarian Apologizes to Block Vartan Gharpetian from Being Mayor of Glendale
We wondered what it would take for Ara Najarian to get to be the ceremonial Mayor of Glendale one last time (allegedly). Queen Bee Najarian Yesterday we found out. On Monday, Vartan Gharpetian seemed to think he was next in line for mayor, after Najarian flamed out and melted down, slapping his own city with a lawsuit that was ultimately thrown out, costing taxpayers nearly 65,000 in legal fees and filings. Vartan took to social media to invite everyone to come watch him be

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

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

'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
