O, I, N, S, R: These letters also appear with high frequency.
Least Frequent Letters:
Q, J, X, Z: These letters are used much less frequently than others.

And common endings like

“Ing”

Etc

Today’s is a good one to start with!

You are right.

Sotomyer and Brown have as much legal smarts as a phone book.
Kagan, is gutless.

They’re all predictable.

Still, wouldn’t it be cool if Brown followed White and ruled more conservatively?

Be careful it’s addicting. People leave funny clues.

I think 95% use Hal. We have some who use nothing. All from memory.

Hey you!

Use Hal to get started.

Try copying and pasting to Word then print out for added challenge.

Hal lets you solve on your cell.

This war is a travesty. Hearing news from either side makes me sick. War is a waste. Putin is an idiot.

Here’s the asshat who said past presidents should never speak poorly about a current president.

This guy continues to be a slick.

He did nothing as president.

Been speaking to my FBI friend. This may be an incident that draws attention to North Idaho..... being a conservative area, notice the NATIONAL COVERAGE. Painting us, once again, as a bastion of white supremacy.
Also... might be a diversion... wait to see what’s happening, or about to happen elsewhere.
Shooter a 20 year old that lived with his parents, working on a tree farm near Canfield Mtn. He was unhappy his parents were Trump supporters. His parents notified authorities of his escalating behavior towards them. So an Anto Trump wacko. Feel bad for the parents.
Anti Trump... TDS

The research that I’ve seen does not list caffeine itself as the chemical that promotes longevity. Actually, it’s coffee. In fact, I don’t think anyone knows what the secret ingredient is within the coffee bean that provides this healthiness.

I say this because several foods contain caffeine, eg tea, chocolate etc but do not provide the longevity that coffee does.

Ask Arnold about it

I have two cousins that live just outside of Coeur d’Alene. They’re telling me preliminary reports are that these are Muslim extremist that did the shooting.

You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

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.

Why are we posting this crap?

What proof does this asshat have this?

And does he think that we won’t bomb them again if we get clear evidence that they’re building a bomb?

Before he did jack. In fact he never did jack, either did Bush or Clinton.

Truly amazing.

I think it starts with the people around him who bring stories to him, and he acts on the ones he can act on.

Trump realizes that he is the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, and that his time is limited, because we may not always be able to push countries around.

BUT

He’s really asking the world to join us for unlimited prosperity.

No more nation building, CIA undercutting nations, when in the end our politicians are the ones who come out ahead.

No, this is a new era in our lifetime, that I name:

A time for hope and peace in the world. Freedom and prosperity for all. To pursue happiness.
