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.

I thought this one was pretty hard. You must be getting good at this. What do you think?
I was thinking today, on just how shallow the media, covering Trump is and was.
When you thinking of all the great speeches and things he said to world leaders, in Poland and everywhere. He had a world vision, and these dictators know this.
With him gone, there is a big void, that they will take advantage of, (what’s the word I want here?)
I pray that 2024, it will not be too late.
THEN Again,HE IS DEFINITELY PROVIDING A SHADOW GOVERMENT, THAT MAY KEEP THE CHINESE AND OTHERS AT BAY FOR THE MEANTIME.
I think Trump was heaven sent. And he has not finished what he was brought here to do.
Exploit.

They are unified in thought. The daily Democrat talking points go out each morning, and the LAAP-dog media repeats it verbatim as individual commentary. Remember when Bush picked Cheney for his running mate, and suddenly every new anchor was using the word "gravitas?"
The media conglomerates craft a narrative story copy that they send to all their affiliates around the country, and then all the local anchors read the same exact story on their evening news as if it were local interest news.
I'm not into conspiracy videos, but I saw this the other day. Don't watch the whole thing, just two minutes from where I'm starting it. You will see two examples of the unified media narrative being pushed down to your local news anchors for gaslighting.
Rumble doesn't let me set a starting point like YouTube does, so drag the bar to the 4:56 minute mark and watch until the 7:00 minute mark.

It's okay if you don't want to watch it. It's a montage of local news anchors repeating the same exact narrative about threats to our democracy, followed by another montage praising Amazon.

Hey thank you for your commentary. I always wanted today’s Cryptogram to be a form for us to speak about how we feel about Trump and our lives in the future and our kids etc. etc. Maybe we can have a topic for discussion every day in addition to the puzzle what do you think? PS this is coming from my cell phone so please avoid the typos and thank you for the word exploit

Hey good morning lonesome. Check out my post number 4
Unless you’re working third shift these days, go to bed! I just got up.
Today’s Cryptogram topic for conversation:
What are your thoughts about the situation between China and Taiwan?
Nature abhors a vacuum. China is about to fill it.
I was a contractor for the USAF after “retiring” from Raytheon in 2018. I went to Taipei for meetings with the Taiwan AF. They are not Afghanistan. They are well armed and definitely willing to fight, if they have a chance. It is a beautiful country, (though not recognized as such by the State Department) and they were wonderful, freedom loving, people.
An invasion from the mainland would be something like Operation Sealion, the German’s abandoned plan to invade Britain. China does not have the means to invade Taiwan, though they could blockade her, if the U.S. does not intercede.
I used to enjoy Rush’s Monday montages of the media/RAT talking points parroted on the Sunday talk shows.
2 min. I made a couple wrong guesses after the first two words.
And the 3rd word should have been easy but I spaced out on it.
Yes. Not a country easily to invade in the people have been free especially the young people playing Little League baseball for 75 years. There’s no effing way the Chinese are going to come in there unless Biden allows it
The Chinese could easily blockade Taiwan, unless the U.S. intervenes.
