Jordan Pace, a public figure known for his commentary on political and governmental issues, recently posted several tweets addressing international events and media policy.
On January 3, 2026, Pace commented on an unfolding situation by referencing two historical events: the apprehension of Manuel Noriega in 1989 and the death of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. He wrote, “this is really funny
2) we should all be praying that this situation turns out to be like when Noriega was apprehended in 1989, and not Gaddafi in 2011.

On January 5, 2026, he addressed the role of government in media with a brief statement: “Love to see it.
Government shouldn’t be in the news business. https://t.co/8e8cbTDPJJ” (January 5, 2026).
Pace’s reference to Noriega alludes to the U.S. military operation that led to the capture of Panama’s leader in December 1989 after accusations of drug trafficking and election fraud. The comparison with Gaddafi references the violent end of Libya’s former leader during civil unrest in October 2011. These historical events have often been cited as contrasting examples of regime change outcomes.
His comment regarding government involvement in news reflects ongoing debates about state-run media organizations and their influence on public discourse.
