Cyber Monday—Final 24 Hours to Get Bonus Shares

Cyber Monday doesn't come with stampedes or shopping cart brawls—just one last calm window to take advantage of the largest bonus-share offer we've ever made at The Flyover.

For the next 24 hours, you can unlock our full Black Friday/Cyber Monday bonus package:

+10% Cyber Monday Bonus
+5% Reader Bonus
Up to +10% Large-Investor Bonus
Up to 25% bonus shares

What that means for you:
At $2 per share, a $1,000 investment normally buys 500 shares. With today's Cyber Monday bonuses, that becomes 575 shares—a 15% lift the moment you invest.

Why This Moment Matters

Legacy media is shrinking—fast.

Layoffs, declining trust, collapsing readership, and a business model built on outrage, bias, and celebrity commentary masquerading as journalism.

Meanwhile, The Flyover is growing—because our product is fundamentally different.

Americans are fed up with slant, spin, and political agendas.
They're tired of "news" that's really opinion dressed up as fact.
They're rejecting legacy media's clickbait culture—and choosing an alternative that tells the truth plainly.

We're gaining market share precisely because legacy outlets are losing it.

They doubled down on their failed playbook—and their followers are walking away.

The Flyover is hiring, expanding state editions, growing our national audience, and proving that fact-first, common-sense journalism isn't just needed—it's winning.

Your investment helps build a movement, accelerate our momentum, and gives you ownership in the news source millions are turning to as they turn away from traditional media.

If you've been thinking about becoming a reader-owner, this final Cyber Monday window is the time.

Foreign Visitors to Pay More at Grand Canyon

The National Park Service will begin charging foreign visitors $100 each to enter the Grand Canyon and 10 other national parks.

The new fee structure takes effect Jan. 1 and also raises the annual America the Beautiful pass for nonresidents to $250, while U.S. residents will still pay $80.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the prices ensure that "international visitors contribute their fair share" to maintain the parks and that access remains affordable for Americans.

The change also puts the U.S. in line with other countries that charge foreigners more to see popular attractions.

Some businesses and park advocates worry the fee hike could discourage foreign tourism.

Sedona Overruled on Vacation Rentals

The state Court of Appeals ruled that the city of Sedona cannot ban mobile homes from being used as short-term vacation rentals.

The ruling reverses a lower court decision and sends the case back for further proceedings.

The case involves Oak Creek Mobilodge, a 59-space mobile home park that was told it could not rent its units for short-term stays.

Mesa Greenlights MLS Stadium Project

Mesa City Council approved the formation of the Palo District, paving the way for a potential Major League Soccer stadium on the former Fiesta Mall property.

Mesa is pursuing both a Major League Soccer team and a National Women's Soccer League team at the site of the former mall, which was vacated in 2019 and demolished in 2023.

The 80-acre site, owned by Arizona billionaire Ernest Garcia II, will be sold to Palo District LLC and developed with a multiuse stadium, restaurants, retail, lodging, and offices.

The project will be financed through revenue bonds and a sales tax on district businesses, with the site possibly exempt from property taxes.
