Only Days Left—Before This Round Closes

Yesterday, we made an important announcement.

This investment round is ending this month—and only a few days remain for readers to become owners of The Flyover. When it closes, it's over. No extensions. No reopening.

Why This Moment Matters

Legacy media didn't lose trust by accident.

They chose:

Clicks over facts
Outrage over reporting
Celebrity journalists over accountability
Political agendas over common sense

Americans noticed.

That's why The Flyover is growing while legacy media continues to shrink.

In just over two years, The Flyover has become one of the fastest-growing, profitable new media companies in the country:

Millions of readers rely on The Flyover every day
Revenue and gross profit are at all-time highs
The podcast reaches hundreds of thousands each month
We're expanding state by state and platform by platform

This didn't happen because of venture capital, corporate take-overs, or political backing. It happened because readers stepped forward.

What Comes Next

We're building for the future:

Texting and mobile-first delivery
The Flyover app
A larger national podcast platform
More state editions serving readers honestly and locally

This is how real change happens—not by being louder, but by being better.

A Personal Ask

If you're a Flyover reader, you already understand what makes this different.

If you believe facts still matter…
If you believe Americans deserve news without political agendas…
If you believe doing nothing is no longer an option…

Then this is your moment to act.

There are only days left.
This round ends this month.

When this round closes, it closes for good.

Funeral Home Cuts Ties With Senator

Brent Taylor Funeral Directors in Collierville has cut ties with state Sen. Brent Taylor, announcing a full rebrand to distance itself from the politician.

The move centers on Taylor's conservative political views. The new owners issued a statement stressing a commitment to "neutrality" and "inclusivity."

Taylor fired back, noting he sold the business years ago and made millions. Local GOP leaders defended him, calling the decision "woke" and out of touch.

The funeral home plans to unveil its new identity in the coming weeks.

Chattanooga Choo Choo Up for Sale

The historic Chattanooga Choo Choo, a former train terminal turned hotel and entertainment complex, has been listed for sale with an asking price of over $1.3 million.

Built in 1906, the site once hosted 50 trains a day and now anchors the South Side Historic District. It was saved from demolition in 1970 and is now listed for sale through Berkley Capital Advisors Group, marking a new chapter for the landmark.

The listing says the Choo Choo property allows investors to increase density on the 7.38-acre site, with zoning permitting up to 8 stories and multifamily development by right.

Chicago-based North Pond Partners currently leases the Chattanooga Choo Choo to small businesses, including Gate 11 Distillery, as tenants hope future owners value the site’s local history.

Antioch Soccer Team Wins Against Odds

Independence Academy High School in Antioch claimed its first boys' state soccer title after a season of practicing mostly in a gym and parking lot due to a lack of a proper field.

Without a home soccer field, the team improvised practice locations throughout its championship run, prioritizing player safety and perseverance amid weather and scheduling challenges. Coach Omar Hobeika said the victory reflected the players’ grit and growth more than the trophy itself.

The team is raising money for a permanent, safe home field to provide stability and defend its title, as Hobeika emphasized growth and resilience over the trophy.

American Energy Is Making a Trillion-Dollar Comeback

In the 1800s, John D. Rockefeller started refining oil into the world's most valuable fuel. Now, another innovator is creating its own "Rockefeller Moment" with one of the world's most abundant energy resources: coal.

This is more important than ever right now, because a perfect storm of operational breakthroughs and policy shifts has the potential to directly impact this company's valuation.

That means investors don't have much longer to lock in the current $7.38 share price.

What's creating this "Rockefeller Moment" for coal?

Using their patented FASForm technology, Frontieras can transform coal into high-value commodities like hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, and fertilizer, without burning it.

They're targeting a combined $2.1 trillion in markets where demand for these commodities is virtually unlimited.

Reaching just 2% of the global coal market could mean a trillion-dollar valuation for Frontieras.

That's why the "smart money" is already moving. Frontieras has secured a $150M investment commitment from GEM and raised over $10 million from private investors.

But here's why 2026 is shaping up to be such a historic year for this company:

Nasdaq ticker reserved: Frontieras has officially reserved the "FASF" ticker on the NASDAQ, a major step toward a public listing.
The "Big Beautiful Bill": Under a White House that favors domestic energy, Frontieras is positioned for rapid scale.
Real-World Infrastructure: Frontieras just completed the land purchase for their $850M flagship facility in Mason County, West Virginia.

Unlocking $2.1T in Energy Potential

Reaching just 2% of the global coal market could mean a trillion-dollar valuation for Frontieras. Just like John D. Rockefeller did with oil, Frontieras is creating its own "Rockefeller" moment by transforming coal into potentially $2.1T worth of high-value commodities using patented technology.
