Good morning,
The Storm is here!
Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, August 15, 2022.
– Brandon Waltens
- The pervasive establishment media narrative paints all Hispanics, all Latinos, with the monochrome ideological brush of statism. One man has been throwing an inconvenient dash of Red-White-and-Blue into that picture on TV and the radio: Chris Salcedo.
- You may know Chris from his daily TV show on Newsmax or his radio show on KSEV in Houston.
- Now you can follow the self-described "liberty-loving Latino" right here at Texas Scorecard!
- The Salcedo Storm podcast is an entertaining mix of national, state, and cultural news and interviews, all designed to help citizens be better informed and engaged.
- "Whether it's Republicans or whether it's Democrats, Texas Scorecard holds elected leaders to account. I love that. I believe in holding elected officials accountable to the Constitution and upholding the rule of law. Texas Scorecard believes the same. That's why they're such an effective leader here in Texas and that's why we're so proud to be partnering with them." –Chris Salcedo
- The Salcedo Storm joins our growing number of podcasts and shows here, including The Luke Macias Show, Conversations, The Kambree Show, The Headline, Reflections, and more.
- You can find The Salcedo Storm starting today and every weekday at 9:15am at Texas Scorecard, or wherever you listen to Podcasts.
Today in History
On August 15, 1877, Thomas Edison wrote to the president of the Telegraph Company in Pittsburgh, PA. The letter stated that the word, "hello" would be a more appropriate greeting than "ahoy" when answering the telephone.

We don’t include politicians’ email addresses, because email is generally an inefficient way to communicate with elected officials due to volume and spam. We recommend sending a postcard or letter to their mailing address, or calling their office.
