To the editor: On the identical Los Angeles Occasions web page that informs us that the comedy traditional “Clueless” has been chosen by the Library of Congress to affix its Nationwide Movie Registry, there’s an article about First Woman Melania Trump’s new documentary (“‘Clueless,’ ‘The Karate Kid,’ ‘Inception’ highlight 25 movies entering National Film Registry,” “‘Melania’ documentary, helmed by controversial filmmaker, arrives amid national turmoil,” Jan. 29).
Whereas selling her eponymous movie, she is requested concerning the protests in Minneapolis after a citizen was wrestled to the bottom, disarmed of his legally carried and holstered weapon, and shot at approximately 10 times whereas being held down by a number of federal immigration officers. Trump is quoted as responding, “I’m towards the violence, so please when you protest, protest in peace.” Speak about clueless.

To the editor: “Strife” and “turmoil” (“‘Melania’ documentary, helmed by controversial filmmaker, arrives amid national turmoil,” Jan. 29)? Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos may spend a reported $75 million on a Melania Trump film. However apparently, he can not discover sufficient in his $254 billion to maintain Amazon Contemporary shops open and maintain 16,000 total jobs and roughly 3,339 employees in Southern California alone working. Now that’s strife.
