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.
Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.
Mr Language Person
The quote gives the benefit of the doubt...not nececelery true.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
THE TIME IS NOW NEAR AT HAND WHICH MUST DETERMINE WHETHER AMERICANS ARE TO BE FREEMEN OR SLAVES; WHETHER THEY ARE TO HAVE ANY PROPERTY THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN; WHETHER THEIR HOUSES AND FARMS ARE TO BE PILLAGED AND DESTROYED, AND THEMSELVES CONSIGNED TO A STATE OF WRETCHEDNESS FROM WHICH NO HUMAN EFFORTS WILL DELIVER THEM. — GEORGE WASHINGTON

Might have been true once, though dubious. Certainly not true today.
and, THEY CHEAT !
I think your clue is a stalker
Yes, and I hear he gets a really big salary too. LOL
I think the author is giving them more credit than they deserve.
But it’s a very funny quote.
Yes, the viciousness is clear, hate dominates
