To the editor:

The entire staff of the Monroe Virtual High School and the school board and administration of the Monroe School District deserve our respect and gratitude for the difficult and amazing work they do.

Recently a young friend received his diploma from the Virtual High School at its graduation ceremony. He has lived with difficulties and challenges and was struggling with school. The Virtual School folks recognized his potential and supplied him with the means and the encouragement and respect he needed. He finished high school in January, joined the National Guard and completed basic and infantry training June 1. He has been accepted at a college in St. Paul and will begin his studies there in August. None of this would have been possible if the Virtual School had not been here to help him.

The Virtual School is a first-class example of "Preparing for the Future, One Child at a Time." Our community and our state are very lucky and privileged to have access to the excellent, nontraditional education offered by the Monroe Virtual School. May God bless each person involved with this extraordinary school.
Rufer: The unhinged left

The left is sure out of touch with the common American. When they sit there like spoiled brats during the president’s address to the joint congress, it shows that they are not using any kind of thought. When they can’t stand for gold star moms or for a 13-year-old fighting brain cancer shows their lack of care or compassion for the American public. When they blame the republicans for the things that they [the democrats] have done is reprehensible.

What is wrong with these people when they would rather waste millions of dollars than work with president Trump to save taxpayer dollars. I understand that it is pretty important to study transgender rats, costing millions? It is also important to pay 200-year-olds social security. Well, or whoever was collecting those dollars. It’s unfortunate when those in congress would rather spend our money on useless things than watch how our money is spent. This country can’t continue to run up our national debt. We as Americans couldn’t live our lives or run a business continually increasing our debt. The judges appointed by democrats are no better than those in congress when they fight everything that is being done to make America better. They should be impeached! Congress people that call names or push lawlessness should be jailed. That kind of language causes the weak minded to hurt people or even kill.

It is great that president Trump and his administration is deporting those illegals that are killing and raping our young ladies. Shame on the liberal judges that want those deported illegals, brought back to the USA. What is the thinking behind their warped thoughts? Bring them back and unload the illegals outside the gates of those judges that want them here.

Sure, funny what 2 months will change. Two months ago, the left wanted everyone to own and drive a Tesla or at last an electric car. Now because Elon Musk wants to cut waste and fraud out of our government and save you the taxpayer, money Elon and Tesla have become pariahs. The left surely has become unhinged. The left says they are the tolerant ones as they destroy property and lives. If you want truth listen to Bret Baier on you-tube interview of the DOGE team of successful prosperous people. It was very eye opening.
