The Flyover Investment Round Is Closing

And the final date will be announced shortly

We want The Flyover readers to hear this directly from us.

Our current investment round is closing this month. The final closing date will be announced in the next few days—and once it's closed, this opportunity will be gone.

If you've ever considered becoming an owner of The Flyover, this is an important moment:

You no longer have months to decide. You have days.

If You're on the Fence, Consider the Facts

This isn't an idea-stage media startup. It's a growing, profitable newsroom—built differently.

Over the past year:

Reader growth more than doubled
Revenue grew 73% year over year
Gross profit grew 88% year over year
The Flyover Podcast launched and scaled to nearly 1,000,000 monthly views/listens
More than 2,500 investors have already joined as owners

That growth didn't come from clickbait, outrage, or celebrity journalists. It came from something rare in modern media: facts, restraint, and respect for readers.

This Is the Final Push

Before this round closes, we're making one last invitation to The Flyover readers. Join a movement that is:

Rejecting clickbait sensationalism
Walking away from doom-scrolling and outrage cycles
Saying no to political agendas disguised as news
Refusing celebrity journalism that puts ego and agendas over truth

The Flyover is proving that a different model works—and that readers, not corporations, can own the newsroom.

A Personal Ask

If you believe America deserves a better way to consume the news…
If you value facts over spin and reporting over opinion…
If you're ready to support a media company doing it the right way…

This is your opportunity to step forward. Only days remain.

Own The Flyover. Invest today.

The round is closing this month.
The final date is coming soon.

Tanenbaum Appointed to Supreme Court

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday that he appointed Florida First District Court of Appeal Judge Adam Tanenbaum to the Florida Supreme Court.

From a press conference at Seminole High School in Pinellas County, where Tanenbaum was valedictorian and student body president, the governor said the judge will replace former Justice Charles Canady, who resigned on Dec. 31 to take a position at the University of Florida.

Before becoming a Judge, Tanenbaum worked in commercial litigation and served as a state and federal public defender, general counsel for the Florida Department of State, and chief deputy solicitor general at the Florida Department of Legal Affairs.

"Someone could be on the court for 20, 30 years," DeSantis said, going on to express confidence that Tanenbaum had the "courage" and "warrior spirit" to make tough rulings "when it may not be as popular to do so."

Aldi Expanding in Florida

Aldi, an international supermarket chain founded in Germany, announced it will open more than 180 new stores across 31 states, including Florida, this year.

Celebrating 50 years in the U.S., the discount grocer is set to open a new distribution center in Baldwin by 2027, bringing hundreds of jobs to the Northeast Florida area.

The company's current distribution center in Haines City will expand to include a new chilled center for perishable foods.

The company has become the third-largest grocer in the country by store count, trailing only Walmart and Kroger. Despite its rapid growth, Aldi's share of the U.S. grocery market is 2.8%.

A "Roaring 20's" Crash Signal is Back, But Much Worse

The Roaring 1920s defined an era of excess that led directly to the Great Depression. Halfway through the 2020s, the warning signs from 100 years ago are frighteningly similar to today.

Look at the parallels:

Valuations: In 1929, the Shiller P/E ratio (a key measure of stock valuation) peaked near 30. Today, it hovers close to 40—creating phantom wealth that exists only on paper.
Margin Debt: Money borrowed to risk on speculation in the markets has surged to a record $1.18 trillion. When markets dip, decades of contributions to a 401(k), IRA, or pension can be wiped out in minutes.
The Wealth Gap: In 1929, the top 0.1% controlled 25% of the nation's wealth. Today, economists at Saez & Zucman confirm inequality has returned to similar extremes. Extreme inequality breaks an economy dependent on consumer spending.

AI trading algorithms at the major institutions analyze danger and can sell-off at any moment of weakness, which could send us straight into 'The Greater Depression'.

Wise investors know this and are diversifying into hard assets to prepare for history repeating itself.

You can choose to follow the route of the wise. Physical Gold is the equalizer. It's your safest measure against a market that could collapse at any moment.
