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.

The Roundup

Article Icon 1Arctic Blast May Deliver Snow

An Arctic cold front will sweep through North Carolina today, delivering the state’s first hard freeze and up to 10 inches of snow in higher elevations of the mountains.

Beech Mountain and Elk Knob are expected to receive 2-4 inches of snow through Tuesday morning, while lower elevations like Boone, Jefferson, and Asheville could see up to an inch.

Parts of central North Carolina could get a dusting of isolated flurries or wet snowflakes, with models showing only a slim chance of accumulation. The flurry chance will quickly give way to sunshine and a warm-up into the 60s by Wednesday.

A freeze watch covers much of the state tonight into Tuesday, with rural lows possibly dipping to 22 degrees and most areas near 30. Tuesday morning wind chills will plunge into the 20s across most areas.

Article Icon 1CLT Ground Stop Lifted, Delays Persist

A ground stop at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), triggered by air traffic control staffing shortages amid the federal shutdown, was lifted Saturday morning after lasting about an hour. The halt, ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration, delayed flights from airports in the northeastern U.S. and Canada, leading to average delays of 78 minutes.

Delays and cancellations persisted throughout the day, with CLT recording 147 cancellations—leading the nation—and more than 500 delays by evening. Nationwide, more than 1,500 flights were canceled Saturday, with thousands more delayed.

As of Sunday afternoon, FlightAware reported 94 cancellations and 235 delays at CLT.

Airport officials are urging passengers to check their flight status and arrive early, praising unpaid Transportation Security Administration staff and air traffic controllers for their dedication during the ongoing shutdown.

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.
