Just Nine Days Left in 2025—And a Decision That Matters

There are just nine days left in 2025, and our current Flyover funding round is set to close next month. More than 60% of the round is already subscribed, and once it’s filled, this opportunity will be gone.

We don’t want our most loyal readers to look back and realize they meant to participate—but missed the window.

As we head into 2026, a bigger question we are asking our readers is:

Are we really going to enter another year with the same tired, biased, politically motivated legacy media?

More celebrity journalists chasing clicks.
More opinions disguised as reporting.
More political agendas shaping coverage instead of facts.

Or are we going to charge ahead and make a meaningful change?

The Flyover was built on a simple but increasingly rare idea:
Fact-based reporting, no political agenda, no spin, no outrage—just common-sense news for common-sense Americans.

Changing how millions of Americans get their news doesn’t happen automatically. It happens when readers step forward—not just to read, but to own and help build something better.

If you believe news should inform, not inflame…
If The Flyover has become part of your daily routine…
If you want to help shape the future of independent, fact-first journalism…

This is your opportunity to invest before the end of 2025 and before this round closes next month.

Travel Guide Courts World Cup Visitors and More

Georgia released its 2026 Travel Guide as the state readies to host the FIFA World Cup and celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

Gov. Brian Kemp unveiled the 130-page booklet highlighting everything from the upcoming soccer tournament to the state’s historic towns.

“As a record number of travelers choose to spend time in Georgia, this travel guide will provide them a glimpse into the people and places that make this state so great,” Kemp said.

Tourism spending in Georgia has been on a record-breaking run the past few years, with $45.2 billion spent last year.

  Dangerous Inmates Escape Jail

Three inmates—one of them described as extremely dangerous by U.S. Marshals—escaped from the DeKalb County Jail early Monday. A search for the inmates continued into the evening.

The inmates were identified as murder suspect Stevenson Charles, 24; convicted murderer Yusuf Minor, 31; and Naod Yohannes, 25, in jail on suspicion of assault and arson.

The U.S. Marshals Service outlined the seriousness of Charles’ criminal history, noting he’s been charged and, in some cases, convicted of murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and more. He has ties to the Atlanta and Miami, Florida, areas.

The inmates were discovered missing during a routine security check.

Hawks’ Defense Struggling

The Atlanta Hawks gave up 83 points in the first half and 152 points total in their loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, in what forward Jalen Johnson called a “kind of embarrassing” defensive showing.

The Hawks have now lost three straight and seven of their last nine, with defensive lapses a key concern. “We just gotta get better,” Johnson said.

The Hawks dropped to No. 16 from No. 14 in one analyst’s NBA rankings, with a 2-7 record in December and its defense ranked as the 27th worst in the league.
