Mon Dieu, what a horrible paint job...
Strip the spray can job off and then you might know what you're looking at. Do you have access to a caliper? Figuring out what you've got would be much easier with some measurements.

Still learning
Fork is severely bent, indicating the bike has been crashed. Also, it has the dreaded Shimano FFS freewheel system. It could be a Schwinn or Panasonic bike.
I'd take the wheelset from the bike and ditch the frame.

It could be a Maginot Special 
but yeah I agree the fork is useless. Take the wheels, fenders and few other part and put the frame in the scrap/recycling bin.
