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.
Enjoy today’s Cryptogram

In the Julian calendar, 24 February – i.e. the 6th day before the calends (1st) of March, counting backwards inclusively in the Roman style [Mar 1, Feb 28, Feb 27, Feb 26, Feb 25, February 24, February 24 (again)] – was doubled in a leap year. Consequently the sextus, or sixth before the calends, the bis-sextus or "second sixth," was also 24 February. - Wikipedia

Surprisingly easy and very true.
The author is a national treasure.
Unlike Biden’s UnConstitutional student debt amnesty.

Very true
This is how the masses will be controlled
And how it will eventually morph into the Mark of the Beast
Once the Antichrist is revealed
Uhh...... you might want to check that post
You mean yesterday wasn’t Monday, February 26th? (I have no idea how that happened.)
