LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans' starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started the Trojans ' bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November. “Being a USC Trojan was a lifelong dream of mine,” Moss wrote. “Putting on the cardinal and gold and competing on behalf of my teammates and school is something I will forever take pride in. I poured everything I have into this — body, heart, mind and soul — and am humbled by and proud of what my teammates and I accomplished.” Moss, who was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in the San Fernando Valley, signed with USC before Riley arrived at the school. Moss also stayed with the Trojans after Caleb Williams transferred from Oklahoma to rejoin Riley, and he served as Williams’ backup for two seasons before getting his chance to play with six touchdown passes in last year's Holiday Bowl. Moss completed 64.4% of his passes this season for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. After a spectacular 378-yard performance to beat LSU in the Trojans' season opener, Moss didn't play poorly as a starter, but he also wasn't a difference-maker while USC stumbled to a 4-5 record. Moss threw seven interceptions in his final five starts before losing the job to Maiava. The Trojans went 1-4 in that stretch under Moss, who plays as a more traditional pocket passer while Maiava has the mobility usually favored for quarterbacks in Riley's spread offense. “Looking towards the future, I'm unwaveringly committed to becoming an even better quarterback and leader, and to achieving this at the next level,” Moss wrote. Moss has already graduated from USC, putting him in the portal as a graduate student. USC (6-6) is headed to a lower-tier bowl game again to finish this season, its third under Riley.

‘You Are A Trader, Sycophant’, Wike Blasts OdiliPresident Joe Biden’s unusually expansive pardon for his son could be an effort to guard against further investigations into his own alleged corruption. The pardon isn’t limited to crimes already charged but extends to cover offenses Hunter Biden “may have committed” over a nearly eleven year period beginning in 2014, when the younger Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Biden’s decision will “hamper any further investigation into the financial corruption of the president and his family and their use of his office for financial gain,” Hans​​​​ von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, told the DCNF. “Despite the overwhelming evidence that he violated FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act], the Justice Department never indicted Biden despite multiple indictments of other individuals for similar violations,” he said. Biden and his business partner Devon Archer each made $1 million a year sitting on Burisma’s board of directors, according to the House Oversight Committee. In December 2015, Hunter Biden “called D.C.” to discuss government pressure facing Burisma, Archer told the House Oversight Committee. Archer also said the Biden family “brand” was part of what made Hunter Biden valuable to Burisma. Biden’s pardon of his son going back to 2014 covers Hunters’ Burisma activities.

Biden repeatedly affirmed he would not pardon his son. As recently as November , White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted a pardon was not on the table. “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” Biden wrote Sunday. “There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution.

New high-tech cameras on Perth roads ‘not revenue-raisers’, safety tsar says

This article is intended for educational purposes only and is not legal advice. For guidance on your personal situation, please contact a lawyer. One of the most successful and celebrated stock pickers of all time, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) founder and CEO Warren Buffett, is always chock-full of advice about investing in equities. What draws less notice is the famous financier's remarks about other financial matters. This is a shame, because there is much wisdom to be gleaned in these pronouncements too. Recently, Buffett suggested one crucial move everyone should make with estate planning, and his guidance is well worth heeding. The sharing principle In a statement that was entirely in line with the folksy advice often disseminated by Buffett, he wrote: "When your children are mature , have them read your will before you sign it." [emphasis in original] That doesn't apply only to multi-billionaires such as himself. Buffett said this principle should be followed by " all parents, whether they are of modest or staggering wealth." The Berkshire leader followed this up with some concrete advice, and the rationalization for this: Buffett added that he and Charlie Munger , his late business partner and a man he credits with much of his own success, witnessed many instances of family discord over wills. He attributed much of this to the lack of sharing with beneficiaries. "Jealousies, along with actual or imagined slights during childhood, became magnified, particularly when sons were favored over daughters, either in monetary ways or by positions of importance," he wrote. There is no better way to destroy relationships within a family, particularly a family of means that should by all rights end up being well off. Buffett knows whereof he speaks. He has fathered three children, all of whom are becoming advanced in age in their own right (Susan is 71, Howard just celebrated his 70th birthday, and Peter is 66) and have offspring of their own. Warren said that over the many years that he has had a will in force, he has fielded questions and heard commentary from all three. Frequently, he said, he adopted the suggestions. Fulfilling the Pledge These remarks appeared in a press release published by Berkshire, perhaps not coincidentally one month before Christmas. The subject of the press release was the CEO's latest move in giving away the vast bulk of his wealth upon his demise. In 2010, he founded The Giving Pledge with Bill Gates.. This is a non-profit campaign to inspire wealthy individuals to contribute at least 50% of their wealth to philanthropy. Leading by example, Buffett has promised to give away over 99% of his wealth to such causes. The latest component of this, as detailed in the press release, is his conversion of 1,600 Berkshire A shares into 2.4 million B shares. The latter was to be dispensed to four Buffett family foundations dedicated to various charitable activities. Since he's dispensing these assets for his offspring to manage, we can be sure there were discussions about how they would handle the immense responsibility conveyed. If Buffett diligently followed his own advice, it's likely that this transfer will be done smoothly and peacefully, without the destructive infighting that has ripped apart many families throughout history.NEW YORK — With the holidays comes festive feasts, and those often feature turkey.

Why It Matters Prior to winning the 2024 election, Trump pledged he had "nothing to do with Project 2025," a nearly 900-page policy agenda spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, and called parts of it "ridiculous and abysmal." On Saturday, however, after nearly a week of interparty contention over H-1B visas, with many supporters criticizing top Trump advisers Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk for their support of the program, Trump told the New York Post , "I've always liked the visas. I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them." In June 2020, Trump temporarily suspended the program, freezing access to new H-1B visas, via executive order. It did not affect individuals already holding H-1B visas. Newsweek has reached out to Trump's press team for comment via email on Sunday. His support, which contradicts the beliefs of many Trump loyalists, largely reflects the sentiment of Project 2025—a policy agenda applauded by many of Trump's supporters. What To Know The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers with specialized knowledge or expertise. Tech companies, financial institutions, and universities are often the most frequent sponsors. In 2024, Amazon , Google , Meta and other major companies dominated the market, each receiving several thousand visas. Tesla , the electric car company owned by Musk, reportedly brought hundreds of employees to the U.S. through the program last year. There is a federal annual cap of 65,000 new H-1B visas that can be issued and an "additional 20,000 petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries with a master's degree or higher from a U.S. institution of higher education are exempt from the cap," according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The visas provide workers with temporary stay in the U.S. Earlier this week, Indian American entrepreneur and venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan's appointment as Trump's artificial intelligence (AI) policy adviser caused a stir among supporters . In addition, Ramaswamy called out American work culture in a social media post, and Musk said there aren't enough "super talented" engineers in the U.S. Ramaswamy's lengthy post on X, formerly Twitter , argued that tech companies need foreign workers because Americans don't have a good enough work ethic and that American culture "venerated mediocrity over excellence." On Friday, Musk's rhetoric on the topic became heated when he vowed to "go to war " to defend the visa program. Many Trump supporters have spoken out against the comments and advocated for the removal of the H-1B visas, emphasizing their support for Trump's pledge to crack down on immigration. However, Project 2025's immigration policy supports the visa program with reforms. It describes the program as "oft-abused" and aims to "transform the program into an elite mechanism exclusively to bring in the 'best and brightest' at the highest wages while simultaneously ensuring that U.S. workers are not being disadvantaged by the program." The policy agenda notes that "H-1B is a means only to supplement the U.S. economy and to keep companies competitive, not to depress U.S. labor markets artificially in certain industries." It is unclear how much of the agenda Trump may incorporate into his policy focus. While he has often distanced himself from the agenda, he told Time last month, "I don't disagree with everything in Project 2025, but I disagree with some things." He added, "They have some things that are very conservative and very good. They have other things that I don't like." What People Are Saying Musk said on Friday via X : "The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX , Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend." Laura Loomer, a conservative commentator said in a Thursday X post : "I have always been America First and a die hard supporter of President Trump and I believe that promises made should be promises kept. Donald Trump promised to remove the H1B visa program and I support his policy. Now, as one of Trump's biggest supporters, I'm having my free speech silenced by a tech billionaire for simply questioning the tech oligarchy." Gabe Guidarini, an Ohio field representative for Turning Point Action, wrote in a Tuesday X post : "The H1B issue is going to be the defining issue of 2025. College students who have paid tens of thousands of dollars for job credentials should not have to compete with foreign labor when they enter the workforce. We will remember who didn't stand up against this." Political satire account, Jesus Freakin Congress, who has over 14,600 followers on X, formerly Twitter, posted on the platform yesterday : "I hate to break it to everyone, but...H1B visas were always a part of Project 2025. It clearly stated so in the immigration section. When you voted for Trump, you voted for H1B visas." What Happens Next The debate over H-1B visa reforms continues, and the new administration, set to take office on January 20, 2025, is expected to weigh various immigration reform policies. While Trump's plans to crack down on illegal immigration have broad support across his base, the president-elect will have to walk a tightrope on legal immigration following his inauguration if he is to avoid alienating a powerful section of his supporters. In June, Trump suggested international students graduating from American universities should be given green cards during an interview on the All-In podcast. "If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country," he said.
