Default 2008 Cobalt starting problem

I have a 2008 Cobalt that won't start. When the key is in the ACC position, everything works power wise. When the key is turned to the ignition position, all the accessories go off and nothing happens with the engine.

I have replaced the battery, 50 amp fuse next to the battery, and the crank/start relay. The starter will work when it is jumped with a screw driver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The starter solenoid is probably going south or gone, IMO.
