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.

Trump Targets Sanctuary Funding

President Trump said Tuesday he will cut off funding to states with sanctuary cities—jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities—starting Feb. 1.

In a speech, Trump said the cities "protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," later adding that the impacted funds will be "significant." On Truth Social, he said the states will receive "NO MORE PAYMENTS" from the federal government.

Colorado is one of 11 states—and Denver is one of the 18 cities—formally identified by the Department of Justice as sanctuary jurisdictions.

Federal courts have blocked past efforts to cut off the jurisdictions' funding. Recent attempts to freeze specific funds, such as $10 billion for child care and other social services, have also been held up in court.

9 Davis Mortuary Bodies Identified

Nine bodies have been identified in the investigation into Davis Mortuary, a Pueblo funeral home where 24 decomposing bodies were found in a hidden room in August, officials said Tuesday.

Fifteen of the 24 bodies remain unidentified. Degraded DNA, poor mortuary records, and a lack of leads have hindered the identification process, forcing a reliance on forensic genealogy.

Brian Cotter, the former county coroner who co-owned the mortuary with his brother, Chris, told authorities he may have given bereaved families fake ashes while keeping some bodies for up to 15 years.

Prosecutors say they can't file charges against the Cotter brothers until the investigation is complete. Containers holding bones and other remains may represent an unknown number of additional bodies.

Colorado Figure Skaters on Team USA

Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea, a figure skating duo who grew up in Colorado Springs, are among the 16 figure skaters who will represent the U.S. at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Dubbed "Team KamO," the pair secured a spot on Team USA after overcoming serious injuries. Kam suffered a concussion, while O'Shea skated on a broken foot at a qualifying event.

Amber Glenn, who trains in Colorado Springs, will compete for Team USA in the women's category. Glenn is the first woman since Michelle Kwan to win three consecutive U.S. titles.

The Winter Olympics take place Feb. 4-22 in Italy. Beyond figure skating, Colorado will be represented by eight Avalanche players competing in hockey tournaments for five national teams.

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.
