The Truth About Jordan Peterson’s Daughter Mikhaila’s Relationship … – TheThings

With an arrest and horrendous accusations leveled at him, there's no doubt that Andrew Tate has become one of the most controversial figures in pop culture. But his numerous and (at the time of this writing) ongoing scandals aside, one cannot deny the impact he's had on his audience.

After years of a successful kickboxing career, Andrew Tate became a celebrity when he starred in the British edition of Big Brother. Despite only appearing on the show for six days, he captivated audiences enough to amass an enormous social media following.

Similarly, Canadian psychologist, author, and public speaker Jordan Peterson also gained a significant following over the years, albeit for very different reasons. While Jordan and Andrew might not seem like they would ever cross paths due to their style, perspective on the world, and age difference, they do have one thing they have in common...

Mikhaila Peterson.

Mikhaila is Jordan's uber-successful daughter. Just like her father, Mikhaila has a growing business empire with a following glued to her popular podcast. And, yes, she does have a connection to Andrew Tate. Rumors claim that Mikhaila Peterson was actually Andrew Tate's girlfriend for a time. But is there any substance to this claim?

Musician Phil Collins is an example of a celebrity who has a complicated relationship with his famous daughter. But it doesn't seem as though Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson fall into that camp.

Being raised by one of the most popular figures on the internet has sparked a lot of questions about Mikhaila and her life growing up. She's been asked plenty of times on social media and in interviews what it was like being raised by Jordan.

Growing up, Mikhaila's childhood was bombarded with chronic pain. She's talked about it on her podcast, claiming that Jordan and his omnivore-based diet has helped with problems such as inflammation and depression.

Mikhaila has grown out of her rough and painful childhood and has constructed a much better adult life. Not only is she mostly physically pain-free, but she's also built a business empire that's made her quite a fortune. She's started her own self-titled podcast show that consistently gets millions of views on platforms such as Youtube and Apple Podcasts.

Her personal business Luminate Productions is an entertainment business that produces her and her father's podcasting shows. According to the company's website, they've also played a part in other products such as the apps Essay and Aim, the Supercast podcast platform, and the Understand Myself personality assessment tool.

While fans are immensely interested in Mikhaila Peterson's family background and entrepreneurial pursuits, it seems that what they want to know the most about is her dating life. Her true fans are aware that Mikhaila was married to businessman Andrey Korikov, who she shares a daughter (Elizabeth) with.

Not long after their divorce was announced on Mikahaila's Podcast, she married Jordan Fuller at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, California in 2022.

Mikhaila explained on her podcast that she would've separated from Korikov earlier had she not been led to believe that divorce was bad. While she differs from her father on the subject, it's clear that Jordan supports Mikhaila's new union with Fuller as he performed the ceremony himself.

While Mikhaila Peterson is a pretty big internet star herself, with a massive following of over a million subscribers on Youtube. But her social media clout pales in comparison to Tate's. Before his Youtube channel was closed down, Andrew had quite a sizable following. Per Social Blade, Andrew had a subscriber count of over 8 million followers.

With that being said, the two met each other before either of them had such huge audiences and were just rising stars.

Mikhaila talked about meeting Andrew on her podcast. She gave clarification and told the true story of what actually happened. According to Mikhaila, Andrew invited her for a night out in 2018. The two were staying in Romania at the time, a place both of them have frequented a lot over the past few years. Of course, a date in Romania means the two visited some castles together.

Mikhaila claimed that the two of them drove in some of Andrew's luxury cars. Andrew has continually showcased his car collection on social media, so it's no shock that he and Mikhaila spent some time in them.

Tate, too, has talked about the event on his social media platforms. His story mimicked Mikhaila's story, with mentions of a date night in Romania that involved castles and sports cars. He even added a cherry to the top of his story, claiming that Mikhaila is a "nice girl" with an "extremely intelligent" father.

It's confirmed that they had a date night together, but did either of them hook up? Was there ever an official relationship at all?

Andrew came out and denied hooking up with Mikhaila. Mikhaila has never confirmed or denied anything major regarding those topics, but it appears the two didn't do anything together.

Aside from that date night, the two have met up on a handful of occasions outside of that. Pictures of them smoking cigars together have been uploaded to Mikhaila's Twitter, but it's unclear if the photos were taken back in 2018.

It's clear how Andrew Tate feels about Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson. As mentioned previously, he's said on a live stream that Jordan and Mikhaila formed a friendly and smart father-daughter duo. Since then, Andrew has risen in popularity and has simultaneously been surrounded by scandal.

Given that these scandals contradict many of the messaging Jordan and Mikhaila put out, fans are curious about what they actually think of the alleged criminal.

It's unclear how Mikhaila personally feels about Andrew. When she's talked about Andrew, she's skirted around her honest opinions on him. When she answered the question of whether or not they had ever dated on her podcast, she stuck to only discussing the story of what actually happened.

The only other time Mikhaila's ever talked about Andrew publicly was during a Twitter Q&A back in 2020, and the answer to someone's question was about their dates in Romania. Nothing more, nothing less.

Jordan hasn't talked much about Tate either, although he has mused about Andrew's views on occasion when audience members ask for them. He normally ignores Andrew and the controversy that surrounds him, instead opting for focusing on Tate's philosophies and ideas.

Neither Jordan Peterson nor his daughter has directly addressed the fact that Andrew Tate was actually arrested in December 2022, nor that he continues to face some truly life-changing charges. Should he be proven guilty, Tate will no doubt go down as one of the most heinous figures in the public eye. Should he be proven innocent, Andrew Tate has publicly declared that he'll sue his accusers.

Tate's far from the only celebrity to be arrested at the height of their popularity. Robert Downey Jr. went to jail once, as well as other big names such as Bill Gates and A$AP Rocky.

Kansas hoping to keep Phoenix connection going with Jonathan … – Rivals.com – Kansas

The Kansas coaches are hoping to build a pipeline to Desert Edge High School. Phoenix is a new territory for the Jayhawks and Jordan Peterson has been recruiting the area for close to a year.

He made fast inroads earlier this month getting a commitment from Aundre Gibson, a cornerback from Desert Edge who has been highly recruited.

Peterson is locked in on Jonathan Kamara, another player from Desert Edge and he is hoping to have the same results as he did with Gibson.

Coach Peterson is my guy, every time I see him or FaceTime him hes always happy and smiling, Kamara said. He is a very genuine dude and a great coach.

At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds Kamara has a frame that can add more weight and that is one reason the Jayhawks are targeting him as a linebacker. Kamara has talked with head coach Lance Leipold and linebackers coach Chris Simpson.

Ive talked to majority of the staff including Coach Leipold, he said. Besides Coach Peterson I talk to Coach Simpson a lot because theyre recruiting me as an OLB.

Peterson started recruiting the Phoenix area last spring. Desert Edge is a school loaded with talent in several classes. The players are Desert Edge are becoming familiar with the KU program.

I know that ever since Coach Leipold came in, the culture and believe in the football program has changed, Kamara said. And the university is investing more into the program with new facilities and more.

Gibson and Kamara are good friends and have talked about Kansas. Gibson gave his verbal commitment to the Jayhawks and Kamara asked about his visit to Lawrence.

Dre has told me it feels like a family up there and everybody is cool with each other, Kamara said. The campus and athletes apartments are tough.

When the coaches watched Kamaras film, he reminded them of a current Jayhawk.

Coach Peterson told me they like the way I move for how big Im and that Im physical and can cover, he said. They see me like a Craig Young.

Kamara said once spring football is over for his high school team, he will take unofficial visits. He plans to visit Kansas and Kansas State along with other schools. He has visited Arizona State.

Here’s why Damarius McGhee transferred to join Kansas football – The Topeka Capital-Journal

LAWRENCE When Damarius McGhee thinks about why he chose to transfer to Kansas, he thinks about the visit he took during his recruitment.

McGhee, a cornerback who started his college football career at LSU in 2021, said he didnt know until then what would draw him to the Jayhawks. While visiting, he felt everyone was straightforward with him and didnt sugarcoat anything. Defensive backs coach Jordan Peterson and senior safety Kenny Logan Jr. were key in that, in his mind.

And when McGhee thinks about how his transition has gone so far, too, he thinks about the connections hes made. Through just the initial weeks of spring ball, he feels he can already call his teammates his brothers. Its all building toward what could allow him to revitalize his career at Kansas, after leaving LSU.

I felt like they was wasting my talent, so I just wanted to go somewhere I could show my talent, said McGhee, a redshirt sophomore, show everybody what Im about.

There are similarities and differences that McGhee has noticed, between Kansas and LSU, and when mentioning them he didnt touch on one school being in the Big 12 Conference and the other being in the Southeastern Conference. He sees similarities in how practices are run. He sees differences in just how much more connected he feels Jayhawks players and coaches are with each other.

Those connections showcase themselves everywhere, McGhee said. He could just be walking to class and people will approach him. Its made his transition that much easier, with that support network already in place.

McGhee went from 12 games played in 2021 to just one played in 2022, with a coaching change at LSU coming ahead of the latter. But he was still a 247Sports Composite four-star prospect out of high school. On a team at Kansas that champions competition among its players, hell continue to have opportunities through spring ball and beyond to show what hes capable of.

Im just trying to up my game, McGhee said. Im trying to be the best one on the field at everything.

When discussing what the other guys in his position group bring to the team, McGhee mentioned junior cornerback Cobee Bryant first as the hype man. McGhee then mentioned junior cornerback Mello Dotson as someone whos more quiet, but also elevates everyones play on the field. Redshirt senior cornerback Kalon Gervin, according to McGhee, is big on technique.

Looking at himself, McGhee said he has all of it and takes a little bit from everyone. He thinks hes benefiting from being in a system thats giving him the tools to improve while still being himself. And when it comes to his strength, either defending the pass or stopping the run, he chose the former.

Cover guy, McGhee said. But Ill come down and hit you.

We should support Oxford’s crackdown on motorists – The Spectator

Now that Morse hascracked his final case, Oxfords streets will be freed from the annual disruption caused by successive Jaguars and their attendant film crews. But thats of little comfort to residents facing a new source of gridlock one, ironically, caused by those protesting efforts to reduce the citys notorious congestion. Last month 2,000 eclectic protestors descended on the city centre to oppose, amongst other things, Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), 15-minute cities, and climate lockdowns.

As a former resident and council candidate, Im much too familiar with Oxfords traffic trouble. A medieval city spared the Luftwaffe-induced redevelopment of many other English urban areas, it has long debated, but done little to alleviate, the problem of ever-greater car numbers. Notorious plans to replace Christ Church Meadow with a motorway were fortunately seen off in the 1960s. The city eventually became the first in Britain to introduce a Park and Ride in 1973.

For too long, we have defended the rights of the motorists and ignored their challenge to many of our basic beliefs

Various traffic filters have since been introduced. But still the jams come. Hence Oxfordshire County Councils latest wheeze: six new traffic filters on connecting roads around the city which will use cameras to filter vehicles ability to pass through. Designed to discourage unnecessary car journeys, with exemptions for buses, blue badge holders, and the like, locals will be provided with 100-day annual permits to cross the boundaries, or will otherwise be fined 70 for not using the ring roads.

Similar schemes are working in Ghent and Groningen and have been proposed for Canterbury and Birmingham. They will undoubtedly make life more expensive for some motorists. But defending the right to drive unimpeded through central Oxford usually means defending your right to sit in traffic. Many will welcome any attempt to alleviate congestion. So why has it sent the unlikely alliance of Piers Corbyn, Jordan Peterson, and countless internet outriders into such paroxysms of fury?

Undoubtedly, Tory opposition councillors are right to highlight the Councils somewhat shifty attitude to disclosing the schemes purported impact on congestion. The puritanical Labour-Liberal-Democrat-Green coalition, in place since 2021, isleading crusadesagainstsmoking, meat-eating, and Jeremy Clarkson. But their traffic policies newfound notoriety is spawned by a confusion about several over-lapping ideas and jurisdictions and provides a welcome opportunity for local Conservatives.

The city already has several LTNs, with various traffic-reducing filters. These, like the proposed new measures, are under Oxfordshire County Councils control. This been confused with theCityCouncils objective to introduce 15-minute neighbourhoods into Oxford by 2040. Simply put, this is an objective to make everything required in your daily life shops, GPs, schools, etc within 15 minutes walk or cycle away. The concept is both long-standing and, according to YouGov, popular.

There is obvious overlap with the County Councils desire to reduce congestion. But this is not an attempt to lock residents into a 15-minute zones, as some online have suggested. Both councils reference Net Zero, but so does most government policy. This is no climate lockdown residents will obviously be free to come and go from their neighbourhoods as they wish. Similar proposals are being trialled across the world, including in Paris and Melbourne.

This internationalism naturally appeals to those fond of conspiracies blaming the worlds ills on Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. But opposition is far from limited to conspiracy theorists and also comes from within my own party. The MP Nick Fletcherlabelled15-minute cities as an international socialist concept last month. Local county councillors described the city as a troublingly democracy-free zone. Owing partially to my failure to campaign a tad harder two years ago, there are currently no Conservatives on the City Council.

Nonetheless, I think my fellow Tories are wrong to damn these proposals so vociferously. The ambition behind 15-minute cities is fundamentally conservative. For too long, we have unthinkingly defended the rights of the motorists and ignored their challenge to many of our basic beliefs. They are noisy, polluting, and destructive; they cause cities to be shaped around vehicles, not people. More trafficis associatedwith weaker communities, worse air quality, and unhappier lives.

Of course, we can challenge the details of future schemes. Many motorists will lose out, and we should always remain attentive to their concerns. But that should not stop us from seizing the initiative. We should aim to make cities as nice as possible to walk and cycle around. In Oxford, the pandemic-era pedestrianisation of Broad Street should be extended, and more street trees and green spaces introduced. We should ensure new construction reflects the citys historic and beautiful character.

Conservatives in Oxford and across the country should see this as an opportunity to prove the urban Tory is not a dying breed. We should not leave the debate on redeveloping our cities to left-wing idealists and the internets unhappy fringe. By placing people, neighbourhoods, and the environment, not cars, at the centre of our urban areas, we can outline a Conservative vision for the 21stcentury city an agenda of which the late Roger Scruton would surely have approved.
