SunFest itinerary: Jazz goes Dixieland this time around

Longtime Palm Beach County residents know that SunFest got its start as a jazz-based festival. And a very common lament among detractors is that jazz isn?t a big part of the festival anymore. (Actually, it?s interesting how that complaint has changed over the years ? in 1989, SunFest?s seventh year, people complained because there was [...]

Photos in ?Jazz? put you in front row

Herman Leonard’s Jazz (Bloomsbury) is like revisiting all of your favorite album covers. For something like 30 years – he started shooting jazz musicians in 1949 – Leonard was one of the go-to guys for shooting musicians in performance, and his book is like an endless nightclub scene in a great old black and white [...]

Fox News star Bill O’Reilly (above) spent most of his keynote address at a Palm Beach fundraising gala Friday imagining a world where Donald Trump (above) would be president.

Trump, 64, who hosted Friday’s fiesta for the It Happened to Alexa Foundation at his Mar-a-Lago club, is weeks away from announcing whether he’ll run for the land’s highest office as a Republican.

“It’s gratifying to have the next president of the United States introduce me,” the host of The O’Reilly Factor said to thunderous applause from the 200-plus at the dinner.

Some of the guests paid $1,500 for a few seconds with the 61-year-old O’Reilly (below), a photo and an autographed copy of his latest tome, Pinheads and Patriots.

Tall head O’Reilly, for whom it was the second appearance at the victims’ advocate foundation’s gala, then dreamed out loud about a Trump White House. At time he seemed to joke. At others he appeared serious. Always, he seemed to take a Trump candidacy for granted.

“He’d probably turn the White House into a golf club,” O’Reilly said. “There’d be nine holes on the ground of the White House then another nine across the street, by the Washington Monument.

“He’d probably run the country from right here (Mar-a-Lago). Of course, I’d expect to be secretary of state. Who’d be vice president? How about (New York Yankees slugger) Derek Jeter?

“But the main reason I’ll vote for Donald Trump,” O’Reilly added, “is that he’d probably deport (former co-host of TV’s  The View) Rosie O’Donnell to Tonga.”

The campaign trail, O’Reilly warned, will lead Trump to places he’s never heard of before.

“Have you even been to Iowa,” O’Reilly asked from the grand ballroom’s podium. “Do you even know where Iowa is? I can’t wait to see him in New Hampshire in the middle of winter.”

O’Reilly also pointed out that Trump is considering a run because, like many, he perceives that America has lost its edge, its greatness.

But, O’Reilly added: American exceptionalism is alive and well, and singled out the It Happened to Alexa Foundation.

The non-profit was founded by Stacey and Tom Branchini after their daughter, Alexa, was raped in her college dorm in Boston. Through fundraisers like Friday’s, the group pays expenses for victims of rape who can’t afford to travel and appear at the trials of their attackers, which drastically increases the chances for a conviction.

“It costs a lot of money to be (at the fund-raiser),” O’Reilly said, addressing the audience, “and it’s exceptional for you to be here. We’ve got to get that spirit back (throughout the country).”
