Billions of people around the world rang in 2026 with the ones they love most. Many started the year with a kiss from their significant other. This small token of affection is a tradition for lots of couples renewing their commitment to each other. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton started their new year with a kiss and a smile. The pair met more than a decade ago and, despite their efforts to deny the chemistry between them, fell madly in love. They married in July 2021 and will celebrate their fifth anniversary later this year. Even though they seem very different on the surface, their relationship tells a very different story. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Are “Solid” In late 2025, rumors began circulating that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani might be headed for divorce. But an insider close to the couple told People that’s not the case. “There is no truth to the split rumors. They’ve just been juggling demanding schedules,” the source said. “When they are together, it’s just so obvious how solid they are.” The two have definitely had some significant career shifts in the last couple of years. Gwen released her country album Bouquet at the end of 2024, and Blake began working on his new show, The Road. Like many celebrity power couples, they do their best to balance it all. “Sometimes they spend a lot of family time together and really treasure that, and then there are periods when the focus is more on work,” the source explained. “They’re both at a place in their careers where they still genuinely enjoy what they do, and they don’t want to give that up. Is it easy all the time? Of course not. They have a lot on their plates and a lot to balance, but that’s just how it is when you’re a family, and both parents have careers.“ Clearly, the big moments mean a lot to Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, and ringing in the new year together was a can’t-miss. We love that for them. This story’s featured image is by Jason Kempin/Getty Images.

Trump Teases Mexico As Next Potential Target For Military Intervention After Capture Of Venezuela Dictator

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat with a sizable Venezuelan population in her district, bucked her party Saturday to praise President Donald Trump’s capture of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. military operation removing Maduro from power is “welcome news” for the millions of Venezuelans living in exile, though she […]

'Thanks to President Trump's leadership'

An abandoned dog has joined a mission of peace across the world and, despite some mishaps, has stayed with it every paw of the way. During their opening 112-day peace walk in India, a group of Buddhist monks found an abandoned dog—or perhaps the dog found them. The canine, believed to be an Indian Pariah […] The post Rescue Dog Leading 19 Buddhist Monks on 2,300 Mile Peace Walk Across the US appeared first on Good News Network.

President Donald Trump celebrated the capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, explaining how U.S. forces extradited the dictator and brought him to the U.S. to face narcoterrorism charges. “All Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless,” as U.S. forces “successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night,” he announced. Trump said both Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been captured and would face legal charges in the Southern District of New York. He called the operation “one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.” “It was an assault against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas,” Venezuela’s capital. He said no operation like it has been “seen since World War II.” “Not a single American service member was killed and not a single piece of American equipment was lost,” Trump added. “The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country,” the president posted on Truth Social Saturday morning. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been indicted in the Southern District of New York. “Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” she wrote. “They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.” Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York. Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess…— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) January 3, 2026 The charges against Maduro date back to 2020, when the Justice Department under Trump announced indictments of Maduro and 14 other Venezuelan officials. Maduro’s wife’s name does not appear on that list, though it is possible the Justice Department is now pursuing charges against her. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly confirmed that Maduro is in U.S. custody. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on X that Rubio had told him that Maduro “has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant.” “This action likely falls within the president’s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack,” Lee added. Just got off the phone with @SecRubioHe informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant… https://t.co/lXCxhPoKSZ— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) January 3, 2026 Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., claimed Trump was “starting an illegal war with Venezuela that Americans didn’t ask for and has nothing to do with our security.” “What is the actual security threat to the United States? And what happens next in Venezuela?” Murphy asked. “He cannot answer those questions—and that’s why there was no briefing to Congress to explain this action, and no briefing scheduled.” The senator suggested Trump made the extradition to satisfy his “vanity,” to enrich “Trump’s oil industry backers,” and to distract “voters from [Jeffrey] Epstein and rising costs.” President Trump thinks he is above the law. He steals from taxpayers. He thumbs his nose at the law.And now, he is starting an illegal war with Venezuela that Americans didn’t ask for and has nothing to do with our security. How does going to war in South America help…— Chris Murphy ? (@ChrisMurphyCT) January 3, 2026 Vice President JD Vance pushed back against claims that the extradition was “illegal.” “Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism,” Vance posted on X. “You don’t get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.” In July, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the Cartel de los Soles a specially designated global terrorist group, mentioning that Maduro heads the organization. The State Department designated the cartel a foreign terrorist organization on Nov. 24. Last month, the White House designated Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal gang, a foreign terrorist organization. The White House stated that members of Tren de Aragua “are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States.” The White House designation went on to claim that Venezuelan authorities “have ceded ever-greater control over their territories to transnational criminal organizations, including TdA. The result is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States, and which poses a substantial danger to the United States.” The Maduro regime dates back to the 1998 election of Hugo Chavez, who led the Bolivarian Revolution and established a new constitution for the country. Chavez openly embraced socialism and began nationalizing industries. Maduro succeeded Chavez after his death, and conditions in the country have steadily worsened. An economic crisis of hyperinflation, famine, disease, and crime has sparked a mass exodus from the country. “Maduro should be questioned about his regime’s campaign to destabilize our streets not just with narcotics but also through political unrest,” Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow for national security at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in a statement Saturday. “Specifically, Maduro must come clean about the nature of the regime’s relationship with Black Lives Matter and Antifa.” Critics have accused Maduro of manipulating the results of the July 28, 2024 presidential election. Authorities disqualified María Corina Machado, a candidate for president, from running, and she supported the opposition’s alternative candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia. She won the Nobel Peace Prize last year for her efforts. One Democrat celebrated Maduro’s ouster. “The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela’s people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled this violent, lawless, and disastrous rule,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., wrote on X. She criticized Trump for failing to notify Congress, and warned that “cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows.” The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela's people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule.However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows.…— Rep.
