Good Morning! On this day in 2008, a dike at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant failed, releasing 1.1 billion gallons of toxic coal ash slurry in what became the largest industrial spill in U.S. history. The cleanup cost more than $1 billion and was linked to dozens of deaths and illnesses.

More than 2.8 million Tennesseans are expected to travel during the year-end holidays, with most driving, over 76,000 flying, and a 6.4% increase in other forms of travel like trains and buses. See details in the story below.

Today’s sponsor, Dr. Steven Gundry, MD, is warning readers that a popular “healthy” breakfast food may be quietly disrupting gut health—and he’s revealing the three breakfast foods he says to stop eating starting today.

The Flyover Funding Round is Closing

We want to share this with Flyover readers directly.

Our current investment round is closing next month, and we believe it will fill. More than 60% is already subscribed, and once it’s closed, this opportunity will be gone.

That’s why we are making a strong end-of-year push, because we’d love to welcome as many Flyover reader-owners as possible before the end of 2025.

An End-of-Year Bonus for Readers

To make that easier, we’re extending our bonus shares through the New Year:

+10% End-of-Year Bonus Shares
+5% Reader Bonus Shares
→ 15% total bonus shares, with additional bonuses available for larger investments

This bonus is available only while shares remain and is part of this year-end push.

What Early Investors Have Already Made Possible

Reader-owners have helped The Flyover truly take off in 2025:

Over $3.1 million invested
More than 2,100 investors
Reader growth from ~1.5M to 3.6M+ in one year
73% year-over-year revenue growth
88% year-over-year gross profit growth
Podcast launched from zero to nearly 500,000 monthly views and listens

That growth wasn’t accidental. It came from readers stepping up and backing a different kind of media company.

Why This Matters

Legacy media is losing trust, audience, and relevance—doubling down on bias, spin, and click-driven outrage.

The Flyover is doing the opposite.

In 2025, we put legacy media on notice—by creating one of the fastest-growing fact-first, common-sense news sources in America for those who are tired of being lectured to and manipulated.

If you believe news should inform, not inflame…

If The Flyover has become part of your daily routine…

If you want to help build the alternative millions are looking for…

Today is your opportunity to become an owner before the end of the year and before this round closes next month.

Tennessee Sues Roblox Over Child Safety

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti filed a lawsuit this week against Roblox, accusing the gaming giant of failing to protect children from predators and inappropriate content.

The suit claims Roblox’s lax age verification and poor content moderation enabled grooming, exploitation, and access to virtual strip clubs, among other disturbing “experiences.”

With over 150 million daily users—many under 13—Tennessee argues Roblox knowingly put kids at risk while profiting from their engagement.

Roblox says the suit misrepresents the platform and defends its safety features, but other states, including Iowa, Florida, Kentucky, and Louisiana, have filed similar complaints.

Tennessee Braces for Record Holiday Travel

AAA expects over 2.8 million Tennesseans to travel during the year-end holidays—up 2.2% from last year—with most hitting the road before Jan. 1.

Nationwide, more than 122 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more, with nearly 90% driving and 8 million flying.

Gas prices are down, but flights and hotel stays are more expensive, and traffic is forecast to peak Dec. 20–23 and Dec. 26–29.

Florida tops the list of domestic destinations, while Cancún leads international bookings.

Jelly Roll Pardoned in Christmas Clemency

Country music star Jelly Roll has received a full pardon from Gov. Bill Lee, clearing his felony convictions for robbery and drug offenses.

The pardon, part of the governor’s annual Christmas clemency tradition, follows a unanimous recommendation from the state parole board.

Jelly Roll, a Nashville native, has spoken openly about his troubled past and now advocates against fentanyl use, saying the pardon will help with international travel and ministry work.

He was one of 33 individuals granted clemency this season.

Granola is “deceptively marketed” and could be affecting your gut: Walk into any grocery store and you’ll see it on the shelf, clearly labeled as a “healthy” breakfast option. I’m talking about granola.

But according to Dr. Steven Gundry, a leading cardiothoracic surgeon and researcher with over 300 published breakthroughs, granola is “deceptively marketed” and filled with something he calls “digestive disruptors.”
