[This AI Overview result is from my November 2, 2026 Google Search about the percentage of Black people in Iowa, compared to the percentage of Black people in the USA. 

I did a Google search for that information (which resulted in an AI Overview write-up) because I had just read that in his last midterm election rally in Iowa on November 1, 2026 President Trump brought up the subject of racial terminology that "his Black friends" preferred. 

I wondered why he brought that subject up at a rally in the state of Iowa of all places. That led me to wonder which state in 2026 has the highest percentage of Black people and which state has the lowest percentage of Black people.

President Trump's comment about the racial terms that are preferred by his "Black friends" not only motivated me to search for the current statistics about states with the highest number and the lowest number of Black people. That comment also motivated me to update my 2020 pancocojams post entitIed "How "African American" Won The "What Should We Be Called?" Contest" (and other comments about the "African American" referent):>

AI Overview:

" Iowa Demographics

• Black population percentage: ~5.45% (with total Black or African American population estimates around 176,000).

• Context: Iowa's overall population remains predominantly white, though diversity has grown steadily over recent decades.

Highest Percentage State in the U.S.

• State with the highest share: Mississippi (~38.5%).

• Runner-up states: Louisiana (~33.2%) and Georgia (~32.3%) follow closely behind.

• Note: The federal district, District of Columbia (D.C.), has an even higher percentage at roughly 44.9%, but it is a federal district rather than a U.S. state."

The Astrology of the 2026 United States Midterms: Election Chaos, Delays & a Major Turning Point



Susan Lynn Political Predictions  and Astrology by Celeste,  Oct 31, 2026

"The Astrology of the 2026 Midterms: Election Chaos, Delays & a Major Turning Point

What do the stars reveal about the 2026 midterm elections? And could the biggest story unfold AFTER the votes are cast?

Astrologer Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste joins me for a fascinating conversation about the powerful planetary alignments surrounding the November 3rd elections—and what they may reveal about the weeks and months ahead.

Celeste breaks down the extraordinary astrology at play, including Mercury retrograde, the November 4th Mercury cazimi, and the intense Mars–Jupiter–South Node alignment. What she sees lines up remarkably well with messages I've been receiving from my spirit guides.

 In this conversation, we explore:

 -Election Day and beyond: Why Mercury retrograde could coincide with voting complications, disputed results, delays, and confusion after November 3rd.

November 4th: The Mercury cazimi and its potential for revelations, hidden information, and unexpected developments.

November 9–15: Why this could be an especially significant period, with major planetary shifts and possible turning points.

Political power struggles: What Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node in Leo may symbolize about powerful leaders, desperate actions, and the consequences of holding on to power.

Unexpected alliances: Could we see surprising political partnerships in the United States, Israel, and elsewhere?

California's political future: Our intuitive impressions about the governor's race, possible disruptions, and Gavin Newsom's emerging role.

January through April 2027: Why events surrounding the election could have consequences and revelations that extend well into next year.


We also pull oracle cards for additional insight into what lies ahead, including some intriguing messages about devotion, democracy, and the power of collective action.

And in a moment of perfect cosmic timing, Mercury retrograde makes an unexpected appearance in our recording when Celeste's computer crashes! You really can't make this stuff up. ๐Ÿ˜‚

While both of us anticipate a potentially chaotic period, we also share a message of hope. What happens immediately after Election Day may not be the final chapter. Patience, discernment, and taking care of your own energy will be especially important.

-snip-
Transcription from the recording by Azizi Powell. Additions and corrections are weclome.

For what it's worth, I recall hearing and singing some version of the verses of this song, and its chorus during the 1960s. The purpose of this uptempo Calypso sounding protest song was to help energize and boost the courage and morale of the freedom fighters who are singing that song. This song combines extemporaneously composed two line rhyming verses with floating verses from African American Spirituals, interjections such as "Well!", "Hey!", and "Yeah!", and the adapted refrain from the Jamaican Mento "Banana Boat Song" (also known as "Daylight Comin And I Wanna Go Home".) Notice that one man in this recording mistakenly sings the "and I wanna go home" refrain from the "Banana Boat" song instead of the revised words "and I want it now".

*"Jackie Kennedy" was the wife of then President John F. Kennedy (JFK). Other renditions of this song may have sung "Come Bobby Kennedy". Robert F. Kennedy, widely known as Bobby Kennedy, was the U.S. Attorney General from 1961 to 1964, who served under his older brother, President John F. Kennedy (and after JFK's assassination, also served as Attorney General under JFK's his successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson). And Bobby Kennedy was considered to be a more vocal advocate for civil rights than his brother, JFK.

**As a way of challenging and seeking to change the laws in the South that legalized segregation in public transit, Black people and White people from the Northern region of the United States faced jail, injury, and death by renting Greyhound buses and sitting in an integrated manner on those buses while riding into the Southern states (i.e. a Black person seated next to a White person in the front of the bus and throughout the bus.) These men and women were known as "freedom riders".

*** Jim Crow laws - laws that legalized segregation of White and non-White people (People of Color)

That reprint begins here:  

This pancocojams post showcases seven examples of the Caribbean song "Jumbie Jamboree" (also known as "Zombie Jamboree" and "Back To Back, Belly To Belly"). Information about this song is included in this post along with the lyrics to Laurel Aitken's Ska version of this song, and selected viewer comments.

The content of this post is presented for cultural, entertainment, and aesthetic purposes.

Thanks to Conrad Eugene Mauge, Jr, the first person to have performed (if not composed) "Jumbie Jamboree". Thanks also to all the vocalists who are featured in this post and thanks to all those who are quoted in this post and thanks to the publishers of these examples on YouTube.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SONG "JUMBIE JAMBOREE" ("ZOMBIE JAMBOREE")
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbie_Jamberee
"Jumbie Jamberee" is a calypso song credited to Conrad Eugene Mauge, Jr.[1] In 1953 Lord Intruder released the song as the B-side to "Disaster With Police".[2] The song is also known as "Zombie Jamboree" and "Back to Back". In the introduction to the Kingston Trio's version "Lord Invader and his Twelve Penetrators" are incorrectly credited with the song instead of Lord Intruder.

The oldest versions of the song refer to a jumbee jamboree. Jumbies are evil spirits who were thought to cause wild dancing in their victims. The song's references to Carnival also suggest a connection to the Moko jumbie, a protecting spirit figure represented during Carnival on Trinidad by stilt walkers and dancers. The switch to "Zombie Jamboree" occurred very early with King Flash's version with those lyrics coming out in 1956, only three years after "Jumbie Jamboree" first appeared.

Like many "folk" songs, there is unclear copyright in the song and many lines are variable between versions. While many versions set the song in a New York, Long Island or Woodlawn Cemetery, some place it in Kingston or an island cemetery. The third verse is the most variable with The Charmer's version discussing the local food at a previous jumbie carnival parade while Rockapella's version discusses zombies invading various New York City landmarks. The third verse of King Flash's 1956 version further discusses the female zombie's romantic pursuit of the singer.

Notable cover versions
• Back to Back, Belly to Belly" by The Charmer (Louis Farrakhan) with Johnny McCleverty Calypso Boys recorded in 1954.

• King Flash and Calypso Carnival recorded a version of "Zombie Jamboree" in 1956.

 • Jamaican mento singer Lord Foodoos recorded "Back to Back" for his 1957 Elektra album Calypso, an early production by Jac Holzman, who later produced The Doors, Nico and The Stooges among others.

• A version of "Jumbee Jamboree" appears in the 1957 movie "Calypso Joe".

 • Jamaican mento group The Wrigglers recorded "Back to Back" for their 1958 album At The Arawak featuring Ernest Ranglin on guitar.

 • The Kingston Trio recorded "Zombie Jamboree" on their Stereo Concert album in 1958 and on their ...from the Hungry i album in 1959.

 • Harry Belafonte recorded five versions of the song (in 1962, 1964, 1966, 1972 and 1974). It first appeared on Belafonte's The Many Moods of Belafonte and later became one of his signature songs.

 • Lord Jellicoe and His Calypso Monarchs recorded a version of "Zombie Jamboree" in 1962.
• Peter Tosh recorded "Jumbee Jamboree" with The Wailers in 1965. It used the original lyrics of the song (not the Zombie ones), and also added a new chorus based on "De River Ben Come Dung" by Edric Connor (a traditional Jamaican mento song). It released as a 7-inch single and was included on the 1996 CD compilation The Toughest"...
-snip-
Italics are added to highlight the fact that in Caribbean culture "jumbies" are quite different from "zombies". In contrast, a "zombie" is a corpse that has been reanimated, especially by means of a supernatural power or spell.

The summary statement given for Example #5 provides information about the history of "kaiso" (calypso) as well as information about Lord Intruder's 1953 record, the first known recording of this song.

**
From http://www.mtvhive.com/2013/03/20/walking-dead-soundtrack-zombie-jamboree/
"In Caribbean folklore, jumbies, or jumbees, are evil spirits that can possess people. Sometime around 1953, a calypso singer from Tobago known as Lord Intruder (real name: Winston O’Conner) reportedly performed — and may or may not have recorded — a song called “Jumbie Jamberee,” about finding himself surrounded by dancing jumbies. Note that that’s Lord Intruder, not the earlier, more famous calypso star Lord Invader, who’s occasionally gotten credit for it. (The latter was responsible for writing one of the biggest calypso hits ever, “Rum and Coca-Cola,” an acerbic song about profiting from American G.I.s; here’s his original version.)"

**
SONG LYRICS: JUMBIE JAMBOREE
(as sung by Laurel Aitken)

Oh what a jumbie jamboree took place in a Kingston cemetry
Oh what a jumbie jamboree took place in a Kingston cemetry
Jumbies from up north of the island
Some of them are great calypsonians
Since the season was carnival
They ska together in Bakanal
And what they singing
And what they singing

Back to back, belly to belly. I dont care a damn
I dun dead already
Back to back, belly to belly that a jumbie jamboree

One female jumbie wouldn't behave
Look how she jumping on the grave
In one hand'e holding a qwart of rum
The next hand shes beating congo drum
The lead singer starts to make his rhyme
while othe jambies rock their bones in time
One bystander started to say
It was a sight to see jumbie break away

And what they singing

Back to back...

Left to right things was getting sweet
A bystander mash a jumbie feet
One jumbie raise his finger to one
He said mister take care you mashing me corn
The funniest thing I have ever seen
To see jumbie eating salt fish and ackee
I never see more marpy or gingerbeer
That took place at a jumbie parade last year

What they singing

Back to back...

Example #5: Jumbie Jamberee Calypso Performed by Antigua Joe



acoustcarchive, Uploaded on Aug 24, 2011

Heres Calypsonian Antigua Joe performing "Jumbie Jamberee" Jumbie Jamberee is a calypso song credited to Conrad Eugene Mauge Jr.[1] In 1953 Lord Intruder released the song as the B-side to Disaster With Police.[2] The song is also known as Zombie Jamboree and Back to Back. In the introduction to the Kingston Trio's version "Lord Invader and his Twelve Penetrators" are credited with the song instead of Lord Intruder.

Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago from African and European roots. The roots of the genre lay in the arrival of African slaves, who, not being allowed to speak with each other, communicated through song. This forged a sense of community among the Africans, who saw their colonial masters change rapidly, bringing French, Spanish and British music styles to the island of Trinidad.

It is thought that the name "calypso" was originally "kaiso," which is now believed to come from Efik "ka isu" 'go on!' and Ibibio "kaa iso" 'continue, go on,' used in urging someone on or in backing a contestant.[2] There is also a Trinidadian term, "cariso" which is used to refer to "old-time" calypsos.[3] The term "calypso" is recorded from the 1930s onwards. The word was bastardized into "Calypso" when the early European settlers put the word into print. (Best known from Homer's epic, the Odyssey, Calypso was a nymph who enticed Odysseus into a cave for seven years.)
