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.

Local Leaders Oppose SPACECOM Lawsuit

The Colorado Springs Chamber & Economic Development Corporation (EDC) plans to file an amicus brief opposing Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser's lawsuit over the relocation of U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM).

Weiser's lawsuit, filed Oct. 29, seeks to block the Trump administration from moving SPACECOM from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama—a decision Weiser argues is unconstitutional.

In a statement echoed by city and county leaders, the Chamber & EDC backed the administration's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, warning the litigation could undermine national security and strain relationships with federal defense leaders.

"Protecting the nation is bigger than any headquarters debate," said the organization's CEO. U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., endorsed the brief, saying that while he opposes the move, the lawsuit "isn't productive."

The City Council voted 7 to 2 to denounce the lawsuit in November.

Colorado No. 1 in Auto Theft

A new study ranked Colorado as the U.S. state with the most reported vehicle thefts per capita, at 777 thefts per 100,000 people.

Washington trailed by a significant margin, with 627 stolen vehicles per 100,000 people, followed by the District of Columbia, Oregon, and New Mexico.

According to the study, Ford pickup trucks are the most commonly stolen vehicles in the state. Chevrolet pickups, along with the increasingly targeted Kia Sportage, follow close behind.

Despite leading the nation, state authorities report Colorado's auto thefts declined for the third straight year in 2025.

Colorado James Beard Semifinalists Named

Several Colorado chefs, restaurants, bars, and more have been named semifinalists in the annual James Beard Awards, one of the industry's most prestigious culinary accolades.

This year, Colorado contributed 17 semifinalists—the most ever from the state—spanning 11 categories, including Best Chef: Mountain, where Coloradans claimed seven of the 20 spots. See the list here.

Among the many familiar names are Josh Niernberg, a previously nominated Grand Junction chef, and Michelin-starred Kizaki, a Denver sushi bar vying for Best New Restaurant.

Finalists will be announced March 31, and the awards ceremony is June 15 in Chicago. Last year, of 14 Colorado semifinalists, one—Boulder's Frasca—went on to win.

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 $2.1 Trillion in Energy Potential

Rockefeller did with oil, Frontieras is creating its own "Rockefeller" moment by transforming coal into potentially $2.1 trillion worth of high-value commodities using patented technology.

Under a White House that favors domestic energy, with a Nasdaq ticker reserved (FASF), Frontieras' momentum positions the company for potential valuation impact.
