How We Finish This Year Will Define the Next One

Today is the final day of 2025.

And how we finish this year will dictate how we start the next.

For decades, legacy media decided what Americans read, watched, and believed. They chased clicks. They elevated celebrity "journalists." They blurred the line between reporting and opinion to push a political agenda—and then wondered why trust collapsed.

2025 was the year readers began choosing something different.

The Flyover's growth didn't explode because of outrage or agenda.
It grew because millions of Americans are hungry for:

Facts over spin
Reporting over opinion
Common sense over political agendas

As we head into 2026, we're sending a clear message:

The Flyover is going to be the No. 1 source of unbiased, fact-first, common-sense news in America.

And the reason won't be corporations.
It won't be political donors.
It will be reader-owners.

Today Is the Day to Act

Our current investment round is closing next month.
Bonus shares are expiring.
And today is the final day of 2025 to invest and help shape how we enter 2026.

If you've been on the sidelines—thinking about it, meaning to act, waiting for the right time—there is no clearer signal than this moment.

Because the future of news won't change by accident.
It will change because our readers decided to build something better.

Help Us Send a Message

A message to legacy media that Americans are done being lectured to.
A message that facts still matter.
A message that trust can be rebuilt—if readers own the newsroom.

As we turn the page to 2026, we're asking you to join us—not just as a reader, but as an owner.

Help us finish 2025 strong.
Help us start 2026 even stronger.

Buckeyes Begin Title Defense

No. 2 Ohio State faces the 10th-seeded Miami Hurricanes tonight in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic in Arlington, Texas, a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game.

Tonight's victor will meet the winner of the Ole Miss-Georgia game in the Fiesta Bowl playoff semifinal on Jan. 8 in Glendale, Arizona.

The defending national champion Buckeyes seek their first repeat title and their 10th national championship.

Ohio State enters the game as a 9.5-point favorite after an unbeaten regular season and its loss to No. 1 Indiana in the Big Ten championship game. Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day will take over offensive play-calling during the playoffs as Brian Hartline juggles duties as Ohio State's offensive coordinator and South Florida's head coach.

Ohio State is 3-2 all-time against Miami, including winning the teams' only postseason matchup in the 2003 national championship game.
