Own The Flyover

Independent. Honest. Reader-Owned. 

For two years, The Flyover has grown because readers like you have done more than just open our emails—you’ve believed in what we’re building. Now we’re asking our community to help us take the next step: to make The Flyover truly reader-owned, built and sustained by the very people who read it.

We’ve launched a 12-day sprint to reach 2,000 Flyover investors—and as of this morning, we’re just 347 away from that milestone. Each new investor represents more than a number—it’s a Flyover reader stepping forward to say, “Independent, trustworthy news matters—and I want to be part of it.”


3 Reasons to Invest

1. Keep The Flyover reader owned.
From day one, our goal has been simple: the people who read The Flyover should also have the opportunity to own it. This keeps us accountable only to you—not to advertisers, political donors, or outside corporations. Together, we’re proving there’s a different way to build media in America.

2. Smaller investment, bigger community.
We’ve lowered the minimum investment to just $500, making it even easier for more readers to join as co-owners. Whether you invest a little or a lot, you’re helping strengthen a growing network of The Flyover readers who believe in balanced, fact-based reporting.

3. Protecting honest, fact-driven journalism.
Every investment helps keep The Flyover independent and focused on what matters most: clear, fair, and factual storytelling that earns your trust every morning. In a time when so many media outlets are chasing clicks, we’re chasing credibility.


Why It Matters

When we launched The Flyover, we knew people were hungry for something different. What we didn’t know was how deeply our readers—you—would stand with us.

Every new investor isn’t just adding to our numbers—they’re helping shape the future of honest journalism. They’re helping ensure The Flyover can grow into more states, reach more readers, and continue telling the stories that matter most to common-sense Americans.

We’re now 347 investors away from reaching 2,000 reader-owners—a milestone that would send a powerful message: that readers, not corporations, can build something lasting, credible, and worthy of trust.

If you believe in what we’re doing—if The Flyover has become part of your morning routine, your sense of connection, or your hope that real news can make a comeback—will you help us reach 2,000 investors?

Let’s prove, together, that the future of media belongs to the people who read it.

Article Icon 1Federal Court Rules Against School Pronoun Policy

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Olentangy Local School District’s gender pronoun policy that required students to use peers’ “preferred pronouns.”

National organization Parents Defending Education filed the suit in 2023, arguing that prohibiting students from using gender-related language that others deemed offensive was unconstitutional.

The court found that the district fell “far short” of showing that such language would “materially and substantially disrupt” school activities or infringe on others’ legal rights.

This decision reverses an earlier 6th Circuit three-judge panel’s ruling in favor of the district.

Article Icon 1FC Cincinnati Eliminates Columbus Crew

FC Cincinnati forward Brenner Souza da Silva scored twice to lift FCC past the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Saturday, advancing in the MLS Cup playoffs after winning their best-of-three series.

Jacen Russell-Rowe put Columbus ahead in the 63rd minute, but Brenner tied it 1-1 moments later in the 67th.

In the 86th minute, Brenner scored from the top of the box to seal the season’s final “Hell is Real” match for FC Cincinnati.

No. 2 seed FC Cincinnati will next host No. 3 Inter Miami CF in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on either Nov. 22 or 23.

Article Icon 1Child Labor Measures Sent to Governor

State lawmakers advanced two measures to Gov. Mike DeWine that would expand work hours for 14- and 15-year-olds.

Senate Bill 50 would allow those teens, with a parent or guardian’s permission, to work between 7 and 9 p.m. more often. Senate Concurrent Resolution 3 urges Congress to make corresponding changes to the nearly 90-year-old Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Ohio’s legislation could not go into effect without changes to the federal FLSA, which allows those under 16 to work after 7 p.m. only during holidays and summer break.

Both measures passed the Ohio Senate and House and await DeWine’s approval.

JP Morgan’s New $1.5 Trillion Bet

JP Morgan didn’t become the world’s biggest bank by investing in the wrong places. That’s why their recent $1.5 trillion critical minerals commitment turned heads.

Critical minerals (e.g. lithium) are essential to everything from batteries to the energy transition. Demand is massive and growing. Especially now that producing these minerals has become a matter of national security.

Take lithium. By 2040, lithium demand will be 18X the amount currently produced. No wonder giants like JP Morgan are jumping in.

It’s also why major players like General Motors and POSCO invested in EnergyX. Their patented technology can produce up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. Now, they’re preparing for commercial production on a potential $1.1B annual revenue project in Chile, at projected market prices.

America’s Lithium Boom is Officially Underway

The federal government just made one of the biggest private-sector investments of this administration. Where? Lithium.

It’s not a shock. Current production needs to increase 18X by 2040 to meet projected demand, and China controls 80%+ of the global supply. This combination is creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No wonder 35,000+ people have already invested in EnergyX.

Their patented tech can recover 300% more lithium than traditional methods. Now, after a recent acquisition, they hold nearly 50,000 acres of high-grade lithium resources in the Smackover Region, right next to energy giants like Exxon.

With backing from the DoE, General Motors, and POSCO, they’re currently preparing for drilling to unlock America’s next major lithium supply.

Get a piece of the lithium boom as an early-stage EnergyX investor today.
