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 MARVELOUS MONDAY.
About 30 seconds. MAGA

With all my heart, I hope he is right. But I’m literally afraid they plan to Epstein him.
Keep the Faith !!!
Did he say that recently? Just curious
I hope....but I doubt
“There is always that 10% that don’t get the word” grumbled an old chief.
Love it. Thanks
Zeebee, I don’t know when he said it, I just found it in a list of his quotes and liked it.
“There are no second acts in American lives” - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Oh?
Just to keep it in a Presidential tone, I guess he forgot Grover Cleveland.
On a more personal (for FSF and myself) level, he might have thought quite differently had he spent some time at those meetings held in church basements. Examples of “second acts” are in abundance there.
Your comment, I believe, is based on a common misunderstanding of what Fitzgerald meant. Unlike traditional theater, where there was a first act that presented a problem, a second act that looked at complications and alternative solutions, and a third act that resolved it, Americans want to skip the second act and leap immediately to solutions. Any history of America, including, I suspect, Mr. Trump’s, will provide ample evidence of this attitude.
No chance of a double entendre by Fitzgrald, or for that matter, your reply #10?
OK, my bad. Sorry I misunderstood.
My bad, that quote, without explanation is easily misinterpreted.

Solution to previous puzzle (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):
At its core, the indictment of Donald Trump is a political exercise, not a legal proceeding. That is to say, it involves the deployment of state power against an individual, not the impartial application of the law. - Roger Kimball
