Three Days Left in 2025... And Three Reasons to Invest

No. 1: 2025 Matters

We're entering the final three days of the year.

Our current investment round is closing next month, and once it's closed, this opportunity will be gone. If you've been on the sidelines—thinking about investing, meaning to act, waiting for the "right moment"—2025 is that moment.

Three days left in 2025. One last chance to decide before the year turns.

No. 2: Bonus Shares Are Expiring

Right now, new investors receive:

+15% bonus shares
Even more for larger investments

These bonus shares are part of our end-of-year push—and they expire in just a few days. Once they're gone, they're gone.

If you've been considering ownership, these are the most favorable terms we're offering before this round closes.

No. 3: If Not You—Then Who?

There's a quote often attributed to Edmund Burke:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Legacy media isn't failing by accident. It's failing because too many celebrity "journalists" chase clicks, outrage, and push agendas instead of facts and common sense. And too many good people tuned out, assuming someone else would fix it.

The Flyover exists because we chose a different path:

Facts over spin
Reporting over celebrity status
Common sense over political agendas

But a better form of journalism doesn't survive on good intentions alone. It survives because readers step forward—not just to read, but to build and own something better.

As 2025 comes to a close, this is a moment to act—not later, not next year, not when it's easier.

If you believe Americans deserve a better way to consume the news…
If you believe truth still matters…
If you believe doing nothing is no longer an option…

Now is the moment.

Traffic Deaths Jump Over Holiday

Traffic fatalities on Georgia roads rose during the Christmas travel period, with six people killed and more than 100 crashes reported by Friday night.

State troopers also reported making 55 DUI arrests and issuing more than 200 citations for seatbelt and distracted driving violations during the period.

One crash involved a car slamming into a home in Atlanta.

Authorities urged drivers to slow down and stay sober, warning that the New Year's travel period will also be busy.

No Quit in Georgia Tech's King

Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King ended his college career by leading a dramatic final drive that fell short in a 25-21 loss to BYU at the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Saturday in Orlando, Florida.

Head coach Brent Key praised King, who threw and ran for about 90 touchdowns during his college career and was a midseason contender for this year's Heisman Trophy.

"The way he affects others around him is unlike anything I've ever seen," Key said. "He is infectious the way he does things. He affects every single person on the football team. Those people come around once every 20-30 years."

The Yellow Jackets' final drive on Saturday included a 66-yard completion, but King's final throw was intercepted in the end zone.

Ahead of the game, Key pushed back on critics of the changes in college football, saying the game is "at the greatest place it's ever been."

Cold Spell Coming

After one of the state's warmest Christmases ever, Georgians braced for the return of cold weather this week.

Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry can expect a sharp cool-down starting as early as this afternoon.

In the Albany area, light rain and dense fog will give way to plunging temperatures, with wind chills in the 20s by Tuesday morning and lows near freezing or below until New Year's Day.

Meanwhile, North Georgia will also say goodbye to the unseasonal warmth that drove Atlanta to a daily record high of 78 degrees on Saturday.
