Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.
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.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
I HAVE NEVER WORKED A DAY IN MY LIFE WITHOUT SELLING. IF I BELIEVE IN SOMETHING I SELL IT AND SELL IT HARD. ---ESTEE LAUDER
Methinks the first letter is missing.
Oops! First letter is missing, Folks!

Yup, it needs a leading Y.
More a pasto than a typo.

Right??

Not something I usually do, Magnum, just too early in the morning, and too rum-dum. Sorry about that. I immediately asked the moderator to delete it, but it looks as if they haven’t seen my request yet.
You’re not the first to make the mistake. No worries. I’ve called off the contract on you. :-)
Well, that’s a depressing thought. LOL!
All day! I just kept coming back to it over and over all day... The use of proper English Grammar really had me stumped. I always made A’s in English, Grammar, Spelling, etc... But today no one uses it anymore. Almost sounds like a foreign language!
WELL then THAT explains it! LOL
I apologize for the typo in yesterday's CG. I really try to make sure the puzzles are error free. Thankfully some of our best solvers picked up on it quickly, and I made the correction.
On a second note, I've had people ask me if there is any theme in the CGs I post. Hmmm, good question. I would say that I try to find puzzles that are profound and thought provoking, but above all, I tend to migrate towards those that describe our beloved president. Today's is no exception. :-)
I beleave the first letter got cut
Where is 7/21 Crypto?
