The Biggest Question of 2025...And 4 Days Left to Answer It

Just a few months ago, we set out on a mission: to invite a small, exclusive group of Flyover readers to become Flyover owners. Next month, this opportunity will close — and I hope you’ll consider joining us before it closes for good.

But here’s the deal: we only have four days left in 2025, and I’m asking you to consider investing before year’s end.

Four days from now, the year ends.
Next month, this investment round closes.
And once it’s closed, this opportunity is gone.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is the moment to step in and help us finish 2025 strong — and position yourself alongside a media company that’s growing while legacy media continues to shrink.

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

One of the most common — and important — questions we receive is simple and fair:

How do I get a return on my investment?

We believe in being direct. All investments carry risk — but here’s what makes The Flyover different:

We became profitable after just two years, with strong margins and disciplined growth, placing us among the top tier of media startups in the country.

There are three primary ways Flyover investors could ultimately see returns:

1. A Sale
A larger media company or strategic partner could acquire The Flyover. If that day comes, we’ll only partner with organizations that respect our mission and our readers.

2. A Public Listing
While we’re private today, a future public listing could allow investors to buy and sell shares freely.

3. Profit Distributions (Dividends)
Unlike most startups, we’re already generating profit. That makes future distributions a real possibility as the business continues to scale.

To recap:
1. Sale. 2. Listing. 3. Distributions.


The Final Push of 2025

We’re in a 4-day sprint to close out the year, with our funding round scheduled to close next month. Shares are limited, and once this round is filled, no additional investments will be accepted.

If you’ve been considering investing — whether to support the mission of fact-based journalism, to own a piece of a growing media company, or to position yourself for potential returns — this is your moment.

Will you help us finish 2025 strong?

Join us as an owner before the year — and this round — comes to a close.

P.S. A 15% bonus share opportunity is still available during this end-of-year sprint — and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

The Roundup

Article Icon 1App Store Age-Verification Law Blocked

A federal judge in Austin temporarily blocked the implementation of a new state law that requires app stores to ensure children under the age of 18 obtain parental consent before downloading apps or making purchases. Senate Bill 2420, known as the App Store Accountability Act, was scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1.

The Computer & Communications Industry Association challenged the constitutionality of the law on behalf of tech giants such as Apple, Google, and Amazon, arguing that the law violates the First Amendment right to free speech. Two Texas teens and a youth-led advocacy group also filed a lawsuit to block the statute.

"The Act is akin to a law that would require every bookstore to verify the age of every customer at the door and, for minors, require parental consent before the child or teen could enter and again when they try to purchase a book," said Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in his order.

State Sen. Angela Paxton (R-McKinney), the bill’s author, expressed confidence that Pitman's order would be overturned. "We built this bill to equip parents with common sense tools to protect their kids AND to survive court challenges by those who may have lesser priorities," she said in a statement.

Shoppers at the H-E-B in Burleson got an early Christmas surprise on Monday when the store gave away free groceries after its computers went down.

As checkout lines began to back up, a manager named Destanie made an announcement that was initially met with groans but quickly led to cheers. "Unfortunately, the computers are not coming back up right now. Today, everything that you have, we are going to bag you up. And we hope every one of you have a very Merry Christmas and continues to shop with us," she said.

Arriving guests were turned away, while those in line were allowed to leave with their groceries without paying. One shopper said the gesture "brought tears to my eyes," and another said he "couldn't believe it."

"H-E-B is committed to serving our customers year-round and especially during the holidays," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "The customer experience is at the heart of what we do!"

I managed to get rid of my dark spots and ugly eye bags in weeks!

Just when I had almost given up and made peace with the thought that I'd have to cake my face in makeup for the rest of my life, I was lucky enough to find out about this skin-smoothing probiotic that promised to fix all of that.

As skeptical as I might be, I said to give it a tryafter all I had nothing to lose.

All I had to do was apply 3 drops of this probiotic under my eyes and go to sleep.

The next morning, I definitely noticed a new glow under my eyes. And the more I used this trick, the better my skin got!

In just a few short weeks, all my dark spots were gone, my dark circles were erased, and my wrinkles and fine lines completely disappeared.

Watch the short video here that explains everything:
