Detroit was the most racist city in the north, and it wasn’t accidental.  It was the policy of the police department to hire southern lawmen and give orders to kick butt.  The city was completely segregated. Urban renewal crowded all the blacks into very small neighborhoods.  The city was racially tense for years.  Now, in 1967 the blacks in Detroit rioted.  They burned down and looted whole neighborhoods.  Whites fled so fast that they were moving into unfinished houses in the suburbs.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY AMERICA: MAJOR AMERICAN WARS THROUGHOUT HISTORY

Throughout the 6,000 years of mankind’s documented history, war has been a  good necessary tool to save or an evil instrument used to destroy. America experienced its first war, with 25,000 dead, during its fight for Independence from 1775-83. In the War of 1812 with the British wherein the White House was set on fire, she lost 15,000 men. But in 1861-65, America’s war was fought at home, this time against each other brothers against brothers.

The Civil War cost 625,000 lives and with the highest number of deaths from all wars fought in American history. The war was fought in order to set free the African-Americans from slavery. In World War I from 1917-18, the world asked America to help and it cost 116,516 American lives. In World War II from 1941-45, America saved the world from Axis of evil but she lost 405,399. America kept on fighting offshore, losing 36,516 in the 1950-53 Korean War. Then in the 1961-75 Vietnam War, she lost again 58,151. Then in 2001, America’s longest war was caused by an attack on its own soil in the 9/11. Since 2003 up to present, America lost 6,280 brave soldiers.

Founding Father George Washington had a heavenly vision about the three great wars America would have – the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the War that’s still to come wherein America would be invaded by land and sea and in a vision America is almost defeated except for God’s miraculous intervention. War is something the world will always have. And war is an instrument of good in order to defeat evil.

91-YEAR-OLD WWII VET JOHN POTTER BEING EVICTED BY OWN DAUGHTER RAISED $138,000 ONLINE

When Ohio 91-year-old WWII veteran John Potter received an eviction notice from his own daughter Janice Cottrill earlier this year, his granddaughter decided to step in and save his grandfather from her own mother’s heartless action. In an effort to save his grandfather from being evicted and buy back his home, granddaughter Jaclyn Fraley launched a fundraising campaign in April for her grandpa on GoFundMe.com. So far they have raised $138,000 which is above the $125,000 they asked. More than 5,000 people from all over the world contributed to Potter’s cause.

In 2004, Potter became seriously ill and decided to give his daughter Janice Cottrill the general power of attorney rights. But his daughter in secret decided to illegally transfer the deed of the house to herself. The one story, three-bedroom house which John Potter built for his wife 65 years ago after returning from war is not worth that much according to the veteran but his daughter planned to sell the house and put the old man in a nursing home. When Potter found out about his daughter stealing the house from him through illegal deed transfer, he switched power of attorney in 2010 to his granddaughter Jaclyn who is now 35-years-old.

Potter sued his daughter to get his home back and initially won a county court ruling but an appeals court last year ruled that the deed could not be granted back to him because it passed the four years statute of limitations on accusation of fraud. Earlier this year, his daughter Janice and her husband sent him an eviction notice terminating his “existing lease”. An eviction hearing is scheduled on June 12. The root of the father-daughter fall out was the argument on visitation rights for Potter’s autistic son Joe whom Janice had custody in 2008.

Jaclyn Fraley has not spoken to her mother and stepfather for two years after finding out what her mother tried to do to her grandpa. She is planning to hold a potluck dinner for him on Saturday in his home to celebrate his 92nd birthday this Thursday. Mr. Potter thanked his donors for their generous support.
