Replacing the President’s Sequester with Responsible Spending Cuts, Not More Tax Hikes

House Republicans Weekly Remarks

FEBRUARY 17, 2013 |

$\"\"$

Video: Officer Frees Tangled Bucks by Shooting Apart Rack | Outdoor Life

This video, first posted on the Illinois DNR Facebook page, shows a trio of officers (one conservation officer, a state trooper and forest preserve officer) closing in on two tangled bucks in a cornfield. It\’s clear that the two deer are close to exhaustion (and probably death) when one of the officers starts shooting.

But instead of a mercy killing, the officer shoots apart the bucks\’ racks. Unfortunately one of the deer had to be put down after being freed, but the other deer survived.

Unbelievably, some animal rights activist are actually criticizing this incredible display of marksmanship. Mark Dorencz wrote, \”As a proud supporter of PETA, I am appalled at this video. The officer should have comforted the deer prior to shooting at them,\” according to the Daily News.

But the Illinois DNR defended its actions, saying \”it was vital to ensure the survival of the bucks.\”

Terrence Ross of the Toronto Raptors dethroned defending champion Jeremy Evans of Utah to win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in a worldwide vote on social media.

After a judging panel of retired NBA players that included Chinese legend Yao Mingnarrowed the field to the finalists, Ross slammed two spectacular dunks through the rim to win 58 percent of fan votes via Twitter and websites on Saturday.

\”It\’s a dream come true,\” Ross said.

Evans opened with a windmill dunk over a covered painting, then lifted the cover to reveal his own painting of the dunk he had just performed.

Jeremy Evans during the Slam Dunk Contest as part of the All-Star Weekend on February 16, 2013. Evans opened with a windmill dunk over a covered painting, then lifted the cover to reveal his own painting of the dunk he had just performed.

Ross answered by making a running start from the side of the hoop, taking a ball bounced off the side of the backboard and catching it then jamming it through the hoop — all while wearing a jersey of ex-Raptor star Vince Carter.

Evans slammed in a one-handed dunk on a run from the side in response but Ross finished by leaping over a ballboy, passing the ball between his legs and slamming it into the basket with his right hand.

Other winners in the All-Star festivities ahead of Sunday\’s NBA All-Star Game were Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Three-Point Contest and Portland Trail Blazersrookie Damian Lillard in the Skills Challenge.

Yao and his fellow judges eliminated New York\’s James White, Indiana\’s Gerald Green, Denver\’s Kenneth Faried and Eric Bledsoe of the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round of the dunk contest.

Green and White missed on their second dunks, neither completing a move within the time limit.

Green had cut down the net to attempt two dunks with one ball on the same leap, missed every attempt, then managed the trick after the time limit had expired and the dunk did not count for the competition.

Adm. James Lyons (Ret.) on Growing Benghazi Scandal » GOPUSA

The nominations of John Brennan for CIA Director and Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense are being held up by Republicans in the Senate largely because of the unwillingness of the Obama administration to come clean on the what the President knew, when he knew it, and what he did during the seven hours that the Temporary Mission and the annex in Benghazi were under attack on September 11^th and 12^th last year.
