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.

Ohio Braces for Weekend Snow, Cold

A major winter storm could hit Ohio this weekend, dumping moderate-to-heavy snow and pushing temperatures to dangerous lows from late Saturday into Sunday.

Some forecasts call for up to 12 inches of snow in southern Ohio, with totals tapering farther north. The Ohio Department of Transportation plans to start treating roads Saturday morning.

Cincinnati upgraded its snowplow tracker in October, giving residents real-time road condition updates on the city's website. The Queen City is expected to see some of Ohio's heaviest snowfall totals.

Residents across the state began preparing for Winter Storm Fern earlier this week, as local officials urged Ohioans to brace for possible power outages.

Ohio Riverfront Venue Takes Shape

New renderings show a state-of-the-art music and entertainment venue planned for Cincinnati's riverfront at the former Coney Island site, with the Farmer Music Center set to open in spring 2027.

Plans call for 25 bars and concession stands, club spaces, and box suites. Organizers say the venue is expected to generate more than $100 million a year in economic impact. Capacity is set at 20,000, including 8,000 reserved seats and 12,000 general-admission lawn spots.

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Music & Event Management Inc. also praised the venue's vertical design, saying it should improve sightlines and sound for audiences and performers.

7 Ohio James Beard Semifinalists

Seven Ohio establishments earned semifinalist nominations for the James Beard Foundation's 2026 Restaurant and Chef Awards.

In Cincinnati, three chefs were named semifinalists in the Best Chefs: Great Lakes category: Hideki Harada of Kiki, Sarah Dworak of Sudova, and Jeffery Harris of Nolia Kitchen. Longfellow's Mike Stankovich also earned a nod in Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service.

In Cleveland, Vinnie Cimino of Cordelia was selected in the Best Chefs: Great Lakes category, while Spanish restaurant Mallorca was recognized for Outstanding Hospitality.

Dan the Baker in Columbus was named a semifinalist for Outstanding Bakery for the second year in a row.

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.

Invest at $7.38/share before the window closes on Feb. 12, 2026.

Unlocking $2.1T in Energy Potential
