  Proof That UFOs Exist?

  Hannity Producers  | 

  

  Are these UFOs in the sky?

  We just may have the footage to prove for once and for all that we are not alone! We traveled to one man's ranch in Trout Lake, Washington, who says that UFOs have been flying over his property for over 13 years!

  For centuries our society has been fascinated by aliens, flying saucers and life on other planets. Are the things we see in the sky real? Or are they just figments of our imagination in which we desperately want to believe? Find out in this Conspiracy Month investigation tonight on "Hannity"!

  Beer Diplomacy

  Web Producer  | 

  After nearly a week of anticipation, happy hour finally arrived Thursday at the White House.

  President Obama knocked back some cold beer in the Rose Garden with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and police Sgt. James Crowley of Cambridge, Mass., the two men at the heart last week of a heated debate over race in America. Obama described it afterward as a "friendly, thoughtful conversation."

  Gates and Crowley, dressed in dark suits, had Sam Adams Light and Blue Moon, respectively, while Obama, in rolled-up shirt sleeves, had a Bud Light. Biden joined them for a non-alcoholic Buckler beer.

  Crowley said at a news conference after the meeting that he and Gates have agreed to meet again to continue their conversation. Gates followed with a message on The Root, a Web site he edits, saying that he had developed a greater appreciation for police officers and their "daily sacrifices on our behalf."

  What did you think about the "beer summit"?

  Watch Out For That Tree In Your Front Yard

  If Obama Science and Technology "Czar" John P. Holdren has anything to do with it, your trees may be able to sue you.  Let's let Mr. Holdren speak for himself:

  “One change in (legal) notions that would have a most salubrious effect on the quality of the environment has been proposed by law professor Christopher D. Stone in his celebrated monograph, ‘Should Trees Have Standing?’...In that tightly reasoned essay, Stone points out the obvious advantages of giving natural objects standing, just as such inanimate objects as corporations, trusts, and ships are now held to have legal rights and duties.”

  I'm sure we can all agree this is the sort of person who should be heading the science and technology enterprises of our nation.

  Holder Threatens State Over English-Only Vote

  As reported on The Fox Nation earlier today, it appears that the U.S. Department of Justice has sent a threatening letter to the state of Oklahoma.  The letter warns that state's attorney general not to pursue an English-only referendum on the 2010 ballot and says adopting such a provision could violate the civil rights of some Oklahoma residents.

  There has been an effort in Oklahoma to adopt English as the state's official language.  But, the movement is now in question thanks to the letter from Eric Holder's Justice Department.

  Congresswoman Mary Fallin (R-OK) and several of her colleagues have asked Holder to both justify and clarify the letter.  Click here to read the statement released by Congresswoman Fallin.

  Is this intervention by the federal government a clear violation of state's rights or is the attorney general doing the right thing?
