The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats. ― P.J. O'Rourke

If you want on or off the daily cryptogram ping list reply to this post and state your intention: ON or OFF.
Yes, unusual quote. Tried to place a few vowels, and then WHT opened it up.
Nom de freep…..that is good.
Clearly I have some gaps..
CG is relevant to today….. We are seeing the disgusting side of battles now. How soon we forgot just how terrible it is.
Challenging, but relevant today, and more relevant in the future.
Yep, pretty good meme.
