Glendale Extremist Network and why we exist.

Election season is slowly gearing up in Glendale, and that means the clown car of candidates is starting to fill up! From rooftop jams to glamour shots to anti-bike hysteria, we've got some real special people running for the three at-large seats on City Council this June.

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

Now that MAGA has all the power federally, the local extremists of Glendale seem to be preparing to take another run at City Council and possibly School Board seats for the upcoming June 2026 election. Here's what we've seen: PATRICK MURPHY / GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL: La Crescenta Facebook Warrior Patrick Murphy appears to think that he can leverage his dozens of comment likes into a full-fledged campaign for Glendale City Council. (He does know he'll have to come down the hill

Glendale's Biggest Hypocrite and Big Boy Mayor, Ara Najarian, posted a statement via the City social media channels ahead of Saturday's No Kings protest. Organized with the help of East Area Progressive Democrats, the diverse crowd at Glendale City Hall swelled at one point to nearly 8,000 people according to estimates. It even made the New York Times!

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

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

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"...

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

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

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

In 2021 this site was started as a way to inform the community about the arrival and malicious actions of reactionary extremist, and two...

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.

Jordan Henry loses his Glendale School Board race but continues to harass neighbors and double down on fascist fellow travelers.
